Commonly Confused Words in English – BYE, BUY, BY, BI

The German name of the currency isn’t Deutsche Mark (DM) any more. In January 2002, DM was replaced by Euro (€). Anyway, great explanation of differences between ‘bi’, ‘buy’, ‘by’ and ‘bye’. Well done :)

Thanks for teaching me James, I have one complaint. You speak too fast man! But don’t change your way of speaking! I’m going to win this challenge by listening to you and the other teachers! I’d like to ask you a thing! Could you please teach me when I can use “ain’t”. I know it might seem useless, but I’m sure that there are people who’d like to know about it too! Big Hug!

when I started to watch this lesson, I thought you were going to explain the change of the pronunciation “BY” when found at the end of a word; example: CASTLEBY I believe it’s pronounce “BE” but can you tell me why? if there’s a rule, can you explain?

thanks a lot

Hi Ronnie!!
I am a school teacher (soon to inculcate accent amongst my students), all I want to clarify is for the pronunciation for the words ending in -logy e.g. eulogy, sociology..
Is it that such words are pronounced:
1. before the syllable
2. Or, after the syllable??

dpiyer

Any clarity on the same will be much appreciated!!!

dpiyer

thank’s

Apologies if I sound a touch strident in this response, and if I sound like I’m angry, it’s because I am. Your actions are hurting one of the best institutions in all of higher education, one that I was able to utilize my four years at CMC, and one that helped me grow intellectually and professionally.

Mozella Murch

I keep commenting awesome…. Is it spam… I hope not

Nicholas Low

I have always doubted of “by” as a preposition because sometimes it’s confused with “for”, especially with the Pronominal or Phrasal Verbs, e.g., “stand by” and “stand for”. Thanks a lot teacher James from EngVid.
