Basic English: Learn the difference between BECAUSE and SO

nic lesson i got 10/10 , but you speaks so fast

muh.salama

agree

Astric

His talking fast should not be a problem. High tech is now at our fingertips; let’s take advantage of it.

The more we listen to Jame’s videos (spoken English) the more we’re going to understand them/it.

It was just a piece of advice,ciao.

Regino

Humorous lesson as usual James. I’m delighted with your videos.

Thanks

Regino

Thank you James.
I got 10 out of 10 !

Nabil

Speak * :D

thamerx

i know but i didn’t know how edit comment ;) thnx dear

muh.salama

I think that the speed of his speak is very usefull for all of us. I you could not understand, try to listen the lesson more time. And you will see that each repeat you will understand more and more. In Germany they say:
“Exercise makes the Master” :O>)

Zdenek Oklestek

In English we say “Practice makes perfec”.

The more you listen to Jame’s videos (spoken English) the more you’re going to understand them/it.

Bye for now.

Regino

…mmm… making mistakes again as usual . . . I should’ve proofread it.

. . . “Practice makes perfecT”

shinoutoshi

James,
I give you 4 stars (out of 5) because you forgot to mention a grammar point: FANBOYS/how to connect 2 independent clauses/subordinating conjunctions. ;-)
BTW, “get into trouble” seems (to me) commoner than “get in trouble”.

Mauro

I’ve got 100 because of you. Thank you.
I can get confused between because and since. I’d like you to teach us about it.

juneriver

Actually, sometimes “since” is “because”
ex: I was late this morning because I had gone to bed last night.=
I was late this morning since I had gone….

The “since” (always) be uesd with “the point of time”
Grammar: S+have/has pp…since + “the point of time” (but in this way, “since” is NOT “because”)
ex: I have learned English well since I was child.

frankchang

so “since” can be used in 2 ways! Remember~~

frankchang

thanks for your lesson..I remember when I was in high school deriving equations for grammar rules..so ….”so” and “because” were opposite to each other…like below:
“reason” ==> so ==> “result”
“result” ==> because ==> “reason”
+
so = very

kingbode

very nice lesson

moezbesbes

His speaking was so fast.But I understood between so and because. Thanks.

Kaho Kamimura

actually, James’ speed of speaking is a little slower! Therefore, we must be familiar with the faster one (extremly fast!)
“Ganbade kudasai~~”(Japanese)

Please do not take these comments the wrong way.
I think James speaks not only so fast, but also totaly normal, how you’re hearing on TV or anywhere else. They guys there (nativ speakers) dont consider, which level of Eng we are,,, they just talk & talk…
we nead to learn and to practice to listen carefully to sb. (so many “to” ;)

Because of I know well this two conjunction I believed I can get 10 of 10 and so I did it.
