Thank you a lot Ronnie!
I have been watching many your videos, they are very interesting and i like it so much. Especially your way teaching as well as the questions included in the quiz, they are so funny that sometime i couldn’t help laughing at :))
One more time, thank you so much!

I planning to study in Vietnam 2 months. can I be your friend?
darastarnet
I didn´t quite get the concept of stative verbs. They are not action verbs, this is quite clear. However, they cannot be used with the Verb To Be.
But in practice, informal English makes extensive use of this language pattern. On second thought, I´m still thinking about it ( Verb To Be + Stative Verb).
Bye for Now.

I love the way you teach! :P

What about the expression I’m seeing someone?? is it right??
Francieli
When we talk about dating yes, we say that! But it is slang/idiom.
Ronnie
Dear Ronnie, if “hear” is stative verb why do we have “I look forward to hearing from you.” ?

Envied thank you for all lessons ! They are really make easy to learn English ) I’m happy)
Dan
Hi Ronnie.
What about the verb “listen”? Is it a stative verb too?
Enqui
No.
Ronnie
why not?listen was not an action right..
jumat
Listen is a verb.
Ronnie
I can’t understand yet. Listen is a verb. OK, but how about see, feel, smell?
Jefferson
It is an action, but not a passive action, as I understand. When you are listening – it’s your active action (you listen because you need or want it). But when you hear something, you are not doing action for it, you just hear it.
Kaari

Hi Ronnie,
Tell us more about stative verb and exception on it.
Normally when we write something on computer it shows error on grammar mistake, but in this case
“She was not agreeing with us”
“I was appreciating the music”
it doesn’t show, why ?

thank you ur Exciting
asaher
It’s incredible new to me.Thanks for help.
Katyshkaaa
Hi Ronnie,thanks for your explanation, i got much knowledge after seeing your video. But im still little bit confused about some things:
Some people sometimes use “present continuous” form to express “future simple”, like this: i am seeing that later= i am going to see that later”. Is it correct to use that present continuous to express future simple both in spoken and written? and if it’s correct, is it only for any of verbs in that case, or for all verbs? I’m sorry if i ask too much, i really get confused of it. Thanks before
anny89
tank you very much I really love your lessons and your way of teaching is efficient and funny i like it …just a question what about “I’m listening to the music” ?????
abdel morocco
abdel
You have to say “I am listening to music”. (not “the music”).
Ronnie
i like it … :*
bonbony
A very interesting lesson indeed. Thanks
Sridhar
Ronnie, can we say I’m having a great day, or in the past I was having a great day???
Mark
Hi there! Ronnie, please answer. Yesterday, I watched a movie called “She hate me”. Why “she hate”, not “she hates”??? Does it make any sense? Thank you in advance!
Basil
Ronnie might be able to explain it better, but that’s a feature of African-American vernacular [everyday] English, a dialect that has its own rules. And in AAVE it’s okay to drop the ending for verbs in third person present tense.
engVid Moderator
She hate me is wrong, Movies/music/art has no rules – especially grammar rules!
Ronnie
I join this website today.I’m very happy. Your way of teaching is efficient and funny i like it .You are too good teacher.How can i improve my fluence in english.I’m very confused.Please……

amani
Thank you
you’r fantastic teacher

you are very funny teacher
ahlam
Ms. Ronnie, It was really grate, and you explained very well.
Sabih.
Sabihuddin
Ronnie,
I have a question on this “I’m loving” Ok this seems to be wrong, what about the continuity of the sentence, and “I’m Lovin” used by McDonnald. What is the sense behind to drive the continuous sentence. Please Explain.
Regards,
Sabih.
Sabihuddin
McDonalds is just WRONG! The sense behind continuous is that the action is occurring now and will still be true in the near future!
Ronnie
Hi Ronnie, I have to talk about the clause “having” nowadays, people use for everything they relate with this clause. What should be the replacement. Please elaborate the situations to use it as “having.”

Ronnie
Hi, Ronnie, I have joined your classes recently, and I do like it so much.
Will you clarify, please if the below statement is correct:
think (stative) = have an opinion
I think that coffee is great
think (dynamic) = consider, have in my head
what are you thinking about? I’m thinking about my next holiday
Also, as regards “I am feeling better”, is this slang, or grammatically accepted?
Thank you in advance.
shaga
I am feeling better is present continuous form!
Ronnie
Do you mean to say that “feel” can be used in Present Cont.?
I just wanted to know if it is grammatically correct (not slang) to use the verb “feel” in Cont. form.
shaga
Yes you can!
Ronnie
And, will you please revert to other questions of mine, i.e. “think” like “opinion” and “consider”, and transitive/intransitive verbs.
shaga
I would be grateful to you should you explain transitive and intransitive verbs and which verbs namely can be used in two ways in Passive. I mean: I was given a book. And, The book was given to me.
I know there is a group of verbs in English that has only one form of Passive, like describe, translate, explain, dictate. Is there a full list of these verb, or is there a clear-cut rule on how to identify them?
Thank you very much.
shaga
Thank you

– I love them .
– I hate every second , that passes without your vidio .
– I kmow your insite felling ,from your presentation .
– I touch the future of my english with you .
Thank you 2012 very much
hasan
nice lesson ,I enjoyed it thnx my dear ronnie
reda2222
is happy stative verb ?
rajitha
I don’t know – it is English grammar rules. I did not make them!!!!
Ronnie
I think, have means ‘own’ or expresses possession, it is not used to in the progressive. But we can use ‘have and think’ in the progressive. For example, I’m having a good time. I am thinking about English grammar right now. (have a good time, have a bad time, have a problem, have company, have an operation), have can be used in the progressive. See, English is the most crazy language in the world. Good luck.
pema11
Hi Ms.Ronnie.. thanks alot 4 the lesson .. i have a question but it’s not related to this lesson >>
1 – I drank much water
2 – I needed much suger to bake a cake
is that right ??
Thanks in advance
noor
NO. I drank a lot of beer.
I needed a lot of sugar to bake a cake.
Ronnie
Ok. if we put (too) much >> for example:
1 – I drank too much water
2 – I needed too much suger to bake a cake
is that right now?
Thank you for your reply :)
noor
1- yes.
2- no. Too much is always a negative thing. You can say the cake has too much sugar.
Ronnie
Dear Ronnie
Do you mean that we use :MUCH” only in negative and question?
faez
Hello Ronnie!!! I love this lesson and this website!!! You are an excellent teacher!!! Thanks!!!!

Hello, Ronnie! Thank you for your brilliant lessons! It’s always interesting to watch them.
Is it right to say ‘He’s being rude these days’? He’s always rude, but he’s being rude these days. Is it correct?
stam12
We are still deciding? (thinking) Is it right?
Props
Dear Roni,
Could you please tell what differences between another and other?
qasem
Another = one more. EX. I’d like another beer = one more of the same kind.
Other = something different. I’d like the other (kind of) beer= I want a different kind of beer.
Ronnie
Hello, English Angel, Ronnie sister,

rg79
Ronnie, you said that it’s wrong to say “I’m hearing”, cause to hear is a stative verb, what about ” I’m listening to music” This is correct, isn’t it ? So I assume that the verb to Listen is not a stative verb… ok? Thanks
hungriaind1
Excuse me Ronnie but I’m not sure about “sense” ! It might be: hear,see (sight), smell, taste (mouth) and touch (with fingers) instead of “sound”?! Don’t you agree with me?
mas72

Hi:)I wanna ask you something but this isn´t exactly for this specific video.I have a truble with using nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in sentences. I give you an example… felxible-flexibility…Are some rules for that? thank you:)
fray419
Adjectives usually end in -ly -y -ed -ing.
Noun= person place or thing.
Verb = action word.
Adverbs usually end in -ly or -y.
Ronnie
Ronnie i love you! thank you so much for your help! im learning so much from you everyday! could you make more videos please… :) thank you.

Hi Ronnie,
How are things with you today? You know what, I really admire you for being an erudite teacher. I love the way you teach and the way you give examples. How I wish I can be like you too. I want to be a good English conversationalist and you know what..your teaching helps me a lot. I always watch your video and you are an inspiration to many people like me who want to learn English well.By the way, about this topic, I heard many people saying ‘what I’m thingking right now’ is this statement right? I don’t think so. Keep up the good work..
Your student
Nerfezap :)
nerfezap
Yes, we use the statement “What I am thinking right now”. A lot of times we disregard grammar rules when we talk!

Thank you Ronnie, Excellent instructor!
You understand all around audition students as you say and explain to listen and learning English student’s not certain country or specific country people as stereo type. You are very understandable for all nationality people. That is very important to all around people because they have their own country and birth place, so they like of course. However, During students are learning and listening languages are sensitive sometimes. Especially, most teachers need to explain generously. You are a great instructor as your teach way and let the students.

Thanks very much for your good work.
Could you please tell me the differences between these sentences?
– we are done vs we have done
– the first step is done vs the first step has done vs the first step has been done.
Again, thank you in advance!
tienie
We are done and the first step is done = present tense.
We have done and the first step has been done= present perfect.
The first step has done is WRONG.
Ronnie
Hi,
I have a question. can we use “I’m understanding it now” if we want to say about situation which was changed. e.g. I never understood English grammar but I’m understanding it now. or I am understanding the text now that I have read it once more.
Adam
You have to say I understand!
Ronnie

Thank you Miss Ronnie. God Bless You. -I’m just slightly baffled because at the end you said it’s okay to say “You’re HAVING a baby.” But then it’s not okay to say “I’m FEELING happy?” Someone help me out please.

Hello! I think, I don’t understand this lesson except feelings/emotions rule…
Can I say:
I have all hearing ears? I mean, that my ears hears everything.
Sorry for my grammar, I’m a beginner…
piotr@michalak.at
You totally can! To make it clearer, you can use a hyphen: “all-hearing ears”. There’s also a symbol called the “all-seeing eye”.

great video, teacher Ronnie! I enjoyed it! The video is not tedious maybe because of your pleasing personality! I guess I need to share this video to my co-workers since we often use “to be” with stative verbs especially the expression,”I’m loving it!” I need to warn them that it’s grammatically incorrect though we can still use it during our usual conversation.
Best Regards.

Thanks! Ronnie, very useful :)

Hi teacher! I still have something not really clear about stative verbs like “feel”. I found its meaning in the Oxford Dictionary and I saw an example like this: “Ruth was not quite feeling herself”. Is it true or obviously wrong to say that? Thank you! ^^

thanks engvid, I really like this web site, I have learned a lot and I am sure I will continue lerning more!
Thank you a lot Ronnie!
I have been watching many your videos, they are very interesting and i like it so much. Especially your way teaching as well as the questions included in the quiz, they are so funny that sometime i couldn’t help laughing at :))
One more time, thank you so much!
Vietnam student.
I planning to study in Vietnam 2 months. can I be your friend?
I didn´t quite get the concept of stative verbs. They are not action verbs, this is quite clear. However, they cannot be used with the Verb To Be.
But in practice, informal English makes extensive use of this language pattern. On second thought, I´m still thinking about it ( Verb To Be + Stative Verb).
Bye for Now.
I love the way you teach! :P
it helps you a lot, well it helps me too.
Me too.
Thank You Ronnie… u really are keeping English language ALIVE!! :)
Hello Engvid, so long never came here , how are you? !!!!
Hello dear Ronnie, thank you for the lessons, I love it and you made me understand better, be blessed :))

hey ronnie i love it thanks for the lesson !!!! im waiting for more videos !!!
from uzbekistan qobiljon !!!!
thank u
i love you guys keep it going ;)
What about the expression I’m seeing someone?? is it right??
When we talk about dating yes, we say that! But it is slang/idiom.
Dear Ronnie, if “hear” is stative verb why do we have “I look forward to hearing from you.” ?
Please check this video :
https://youtu.be/itLLVAJjXNI
Envied thank you for all lessons ! They are really make easy to learn English ) I’m happy)
Hi Ronnie.
What about the verb “listen”? Is it a stative verb too?
No.
why not?listen was not an action right..
Listen is a verb.
I can’t understand yet. Listen is a verb. OK, but how about see, feel, smell?
It is an action, but not a passive action, as I understand. When you are listening – it’s your active action (you listen because you need or want it). But when you hear something, you are not doing action for it, you just hear it.
Hi Ronnie, great lesson.
I have some question about verb, can i post it here? or any other channel that i can ask you about it?
Here!
thanks ronnie for your lesson…i like it…
hi Ronnie thank for ur lesson. i just wonder one thing that when u put ur hands up and hook ur fingers. what do that body language means?
It means that the person is using a “quote” (quote). It is used when you are being sarcastic!
hi! is this correct?:I’m feeling better…
Yes!
Could you clarify it? What is the difference between I’m feeling better and I feel better ?
very nice! i liked it!
hello dear ronnie .. could you please makes lesson about transitive verb and intransitive ..please give me answer soon.
I will try to make that lesson for you!

Hi Ronnie,
I have one Doubt. In Past continuous tense, can i use like
‘i was hearing the music’..is this statement right?
Thanks a lot Ms. Ronnie for useful teaching. This site is very useful to the learner…..

Hi Ronnie,
Tell us more about stative verb and exception on it.
Normally when we write something on computer it shows error on grammar mistake, but in this case
“She was not agreeing with us”
“I was appreciating the music”
it doesn’t show, why ?
Thanks
Thanks for lessons!! It’s really easy to learn with you!
Thanks Ronnie, again a magnificent lesson from you!

‘i’m remembering that’ it doesn’t make sense, it looks pretty weird, no??
Thank you Ronnie your answer was useful for me.

Hi Dear:

I love engvid as i understand everything easily thanks
Hi, Ronnie. Thanks for your lessons!
May I ask a question?
Is a phrase “I’m Lovin’ It” correct?
I’ve heard it in McDonald’s commercial some years ago.
no, the sentence is wrong
Oh, sorry for comment.
I’ve found an answer in the video.
Hi! Ronnie
U’r lessons r awesone! and thanx so much.
Could “u” please explain Preposition “in” & “into”
Thanx
joveth
Hi!!!!!
I’m your fan.
by the way, what is mean “to be” ???
thank you ur Exciting
It’s incredible new to me.Thanks for help.
Hi Ronnie,thanks for your explanation, i got much knowledge after seeing your video. But im still little bit confused about some things:
Some people sometimes use “present continuous” form to express “future simple”, like this: i am seeing that later= i am going to see that later”. Is it correct to use that present continuous to express future simple both in spoken and written? and if it’s correct, is it only for any of verbs in that case, or for all verbs? I’m sorry if i ask too much, i really get confused of it. Thanks before
tank you very much I really love your lessons and your way of teaching is efficient and funny i like it …just a question what about “I’m listening to the music” ?????
abdel morocco
You have to say “I am listening to music”. (not “the music”).
i like it … :*
A very interesting lesson indeed. Thanks
Ronnie, can we say I’m having a great day, or in the past I was having a great day???
Hi there! Ronnie, please answer. Yesterday, I watched a movie called “She hate me”. Why “she hate”, not “she hates”??? Does it make any sense? Thank you in advance!
Ronnie might be able to explain it better, but that’s a feature of African-American vernacular [everyday] English, a dialect that has its own rules. And in AAVE it’s okay to drop the ending for verbs in third person present tense.
She hate me is wrong, Movies/music/art has no rules – especially grammar rules!
I join this website today.I’m very happy. Your way of teaching is efficient and funny i like it .You are too good teacher.How can i improve my fluence in english.I’m very confused.Please……
The best way to improve your fluency is JUST TALK!!! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes…..just talk!
I join this website today.I’m very happy. Your way of teaching is efficient and funny i like it .You are too good teacher.How can i improve my fluence in english.I’m very confused.Please……
Hi mam, what I understood was you are a very good teacher. I like and love the way you teach. It’s wonderful. I found this website while I was searching Google yesterday.
hi ronnie,i enjoyed this lesson 100%. but i have a question. can’t we say, “i am having my lunch? , it smelling good? i am feeling quite well? n so on.. normally we say i am having my lunch. so is that wrong?
Thank you
you’r fantastic teacher
you are very funny teacher
Ms. Ronnie, It was really grate, and you explained very well.
Sabih.
Ronnie,
I have a question on this “I’m loving” Ok this seems to be wrong, what about the continuity of the sentence, and “I’m Lovin” used by McDonnald. What is the sense behind to drive the continuous sentence. Please Explain.
Regards,
Sabih.
McDonalds is just WRONG! The sense behind continuous is that the action is occurring now and will still be true in the near future!
Hi Ronnie, I have to talk about the clause “having” nowadays, people use for everything they relate with this clause. What should be the replacement. Please elaborate the situations to use it as “having.”
Regards,
Sabihuddin
hi Ronnie

somefriend tell me about you and the web site and its really help me alot thanx ronnie :*
Great! Thanks for watching!
Hi, Ronnie, I have joined your classes recently, and I do like it so much.
Will you clarify, please if the below statement is correct:
think (stative) = have an opinion
I think that coffee is great
think (dynamic) = consider, have in my head
what are you thinking about? I’m thinking about my next holiday
Also, as regards “I am feeling better”, is this slang, or grammatically accepted?
Thank you in advance.
I am feeling better is present continuous form!
Do you mean to say that “feel” can be used in Present Cont.?
I just wanted to know if it is grammatically correct (not slang) to use the verb “feel” in Cont. form.
Yes you can!
And, will you please revert to other questions of mine, i.e. “think” like “opinion” and “consider”, and transitive/intransitive verbs.
I would be grateful to you should you explain transitive and intransitive verbs and which verbs namely can be used in two ways in Passive. I mean: I was given a book. And, The book was given to me.
I know there is a group of verbs in English that has only one form of Passive, like describe, translate, explain, dictate. Is there a full list of these verb, or is there a clear-cut rule on how to identify them?
Thank you very much.
Thank you

– I love them .
– I hate every second , that passes without your vidio .
– I kmow your insite felling ,from your presentation .
– I touch the future of my english with you .
Thank you 2012 very much
nice lesson ,I enjoyed it thnx my dear ronnie
is happy stative verb ?
I don’t know – it is English grammar rules. I did not make them!!!!
I think, have means ‘own’ or expresses possession, it is not used to in the progressive. But we can use ‘have and think’ in the progressive. For example, I’m having a good time. I am thinking about English grammar right now. (have a good time, have a bad time, have a problem, have company, have an operation), have can be used in the progressive. See, English is the most crazy language in the world. Good luck.
Hi Ms.Ronnie.. thanks alot 4 the lesson .. i have a question but it’s not related to this lesson >>
1 – I drank much water
2 – I needed much suger to bake a cake
is that right ??
Thanks in advance
NO. I drank a lot of beer.
I needed a lot of sugar to bake a cake.
Ok. if we put (too) much >> for example:
1 – I drank too much water
2 – I needed too much suger to bake a cake
is that right now?
Thank you for your reply :)
1- yes.
2- no. Too much is always a negative thing. You can say the cake has too much sugar.
Dear Ronnie
Do you mean that we use :MUCH” only in negative and question?
Hello Ronnie!!! I love this lesson and this website!!! You are an excellent teacher!!! Thanks!!!!
Hi Ronnie!! if I say I’m in love (it will be correct or false?)
Hi ronnie, thanks for the lesson, you are the best, if somebody want talk with me by skipe, I am ready, I speak fluently portuguese, spanish and basic english. my skipe are luizarbonito.
May you teach us about transitive and intransitive verbs,please?
thanks
help me please :(
Hello, Ronnie! Thank you for your brilliant lessons! It’s always interesting to watch them.
Is it right to say ‘He’s being rude these days’? He’s always rude, but he’s being rude these days. Is it correct?
We are still deciding? (thinking) Is it right?
Dear Roni,
Could you please tell what differences between another and other?
Another = one more. EX. I’d like another beer = one more of the same kind.
Other = something different. I’d like the other (kind of) beer= I want a different kind of beer.
Hello, English Angel, Ronnie sister,
I love your teaching.
Hi Ronnie, i’m sometime confuse when to use been or being in a sentence. Can you please make a video on that? Thanks
Been is a past participle.
Being is only used in continuous forms.
I love your lesson. It help me alote
hi Ilik lessen to you
Hello Rannie you are the best teacher I believe you good morning.
how about ‘to be loved’? is it okay?
I have the same cuestion. Is Bob Marley song “could you be loved” right?
Hi Ronnie, tnx for your great lessons.
But I’m a little bit confused! You have used “… you are being sarcastic”; however, you have already said that “be” is a stative verb!
Hi Rooine ,
To be hounset with you are the best english teacher i have ever see
thank you very much
hi
Thanks Roonie
Your teaching method and style is fantastic
hi rennie thanks so much for the lessons
thank you teacher,grammar is the imperative thing in english
i visit this website everyday to improve my English! I would like to thank you very much Ronnie :) You are a nice teacher !!
Ronnie, thank you a lot, you are very talanted person!
Hi Rooine!I love your lessons,but I want to umprove speaking,what should I do?
i wish you could be my teacher
you are a good teacher Ronnie I like teache i like really your method
Ronnie, you said that it’s wrong to say “I’m hearing”, cause to hear is a stative verb, what about ” I’m listening to music” This is correct, isn’t it ? So I assume that the verb to Listen is not a stative verb… ok? Thanks
Excuse me Ronnie but I’m not sure about “sense” ! It might be: hear,see (sight), smell, taste (mouth) and touch (with fingers) instead of “sound”?! Don’t you agree with me?
hi~~ I got a question! Why I find the example in the dictionary said “I am having difficulty…..”. Is it right or wrong??
i love his energy in the video…
Thanks ever such a lot Ronnie.
Hello Ronnie, You are so sweet in teaching!!! Thanks for the lesson.
Thank you very much.
Hey ronnie! U’re cool! I got it now! Thank you so much! It is a help!
Hi Ronnie, thank you, your lessons are funny and interesting. Now is grammar for me clearer. I would like to have you as a teacher in my school. Have a nice day :) Edita from Czech Republic
Hi:)I wanna ask you something but this isn´t exactly for this specific video.I have a truble with using nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in sentences. I give you an example… felxible-flexibility…Are some rules for that? thank you:)
Adjectives usually end in -ly -y -ed -ing.
Noun= person place or thing.
Verb = action word.
Adverbs usually end in -ly or -y.
Ronnie i love you! thank you so much for your help! im learning so much from you everyday! could you make more videos please… :) thank you.
THANK YOU!
Hi Ronnie,
How are things with you today? You know what, I really admire you for being an erudite teacher. I love the way you teach and the way you give examples. How I wish I can be like you too. I want to be a good English conversationalist and you know what..your teaching helps me a lot. I always watch your video and you are an inspiration to many people like me who want to learn English well.By the way, about this topic, I heard many people saying ‘what I’m thingking right now’ is this statement right? I don’t think so. Keep up the good work..
Your student
Nerfezap :)
Yes, we use the statement “What I am thinking right now”. A lot of times we disregard grammar rules when we talk!
i would like to share with your teaching to get good english because english is my most interesting thing
i feel some ways those i am weak for english so i want to solve it to be good speaker english
thanks for your lesson
I’m getting improve my knowledge here with engVid
thank ronnie I understood this lesson very well. I had a lot of doubt about it but now I´m really clear.
Thank you Ronnie, Excellent instructor!
You understand all around audition students as you say and explain to listen and learning English student’s not certain country or specific country people as stereo type. You are very understandable for all nationality people. That is very important to all around people because they have their own country and birth place, so they like of course. However, During students are learning and listening languages are sensitive sometimes. Especially, most teachers need to explain generously. You are a great instructor as your teach way and let the students.
Hello!]
Thank you so much. I´m a Brazilian English teacher and was very difficult to explain this topic to studants, this video help me a lot.
Hi Ronnie,
Thanks very much for your good work.
Could you please tell me the differences between these sentences?
– we are done vs we have done
– the first step is done vs the first step has done vs the first step has been done.
Again, thank you in advance!
We are done and the first step is done = present tense.
We have done and the first step has been done= present perfect.
The first step has done is WRONG.
Hi,
I have a question. can we use “I’m understanding it now” if we want to say about situation which was changed. e.g. I never understood English grammar but I’m understanding it now. or I am understanding the text now that I have read it once more.
You have to say I understand!
Hey Ronnie!
You even can not imagine how cool you really are! I adore the way you teach and the way you keep students’ attention by means of inexhaustible source of you positiveness and charisma! I can’t stop watching your videos that’s just awesome! That was is called real teaching!
I love u Ronnie :)

thank you Ronnie
Thank you Miss Ronnie. God Bless You. -I’m just slightly baffled because at the end you said it’s okay to say “You’re HAVING a baby.” But then it’s not okay to say “I’m FEELING happy?” Someone help me out please.
Sorry I meant — “I’m FEELING happy” ?
hey i could understand better
thanks I got 4 correct :)
How a Stative verb can be used in Continuous past, present & future tense?
What are ‘dynamic’ verbs.
thanks a lot i need that for my exam
thanks very use full
Hi Ronnie,
Thank you for lesson and I like your teaching method :)
Only I little disappointed from short quiz, I would like to practice more :)
Hello! I think, I don’t understand this lesson except feelings/emotions rule…
Can I say:
I have all hearing ears? I mean, that my ears hears everything.
Sorry for my grammar, I’m a beginner…
You totally can! To make it clearer, you can use a hyphen: “all-hearing ears”. There’s also a symbol called the “all-seeing eye”.
Thank you :)
Thank you
Thank you a lot teacher Ronnie I love the way you teach ..
ohh I love engvid so much :)
Thanks for your te hing
Perfect. Thanks for help me. 100% :)
great video, teacher Ronnie! I enjoyed it! The video is not tedious maybe because of your pleasing personality! I guess I need to share this video to my co-workers since we often use “to be” with stative verbs especially the expression,”I’m loving it!” I need to warn them that it’s grammatically incorrect though we can still use it during our usual conversation.
Best Regards.
Thanks! Ronnie, very useful :)

Hi teacher! I still have something not really clear about stative verbs like “feel”. I found its meaning in the Oxford Dictionary and I saw an example like this: “Ruth was not quite feeling herself”. Is it true or obviously wrong to say that? Thank you! ^^

good lesson as ever here on Engvid
Wonderful thanks

It’s good and understandable; Ronnie, how about the verb “Have dinner” could it be using with “Be”?
Thanks
Thank you
Ronnie! I love you so much!lol. Could you please make a video to recognize the contractions such as I’ve and I’ll easier? Actually I’m struggling to hear they better but I cannot hear them when they come from a native speaker (your biggest fan)

It is correct, isn’t?)

You are the best.
Lots of learning. Lots of confusion too :)
Engvid is a great learning site I have ever seen. Hats off to you all great teachers.

Funny teacher and very helpful
