hi Ronnie
thank you for the lesson, but what about the shoes? should I consider them as clothes and say: -put on your shoes
-take off your boots
one more thing, what should I say if someone lace isn’t tie?
Ronnie I ask you again,can you prepare a lesson about” the difference between a lot of and a lots of
anothor
other
and finally how we use this word “either”
Hello Raheen ,there isn’t diffrence amang a lot, lots of , plenty of , All of them have the same meaning . We use these words to talk about quantifiers . If I were you , I would look for this subject . About the word either , there are two lessons in this site about it .
Hugs from Brazil .
Shoes… do up/undo. Socks…we put on/take off.
You can say your shoe is undone if someone’s lace isn’t tied!
Please search the ENGVID site to find lessons on either, and the difference between a lot of and a lots of…there are already lessons on these topics!
I shall take off my dress after I wanna go to my wife
Hi mam,
I liked your teaching style! I have a question that how about the shoes and socks? can i say ‘do up’ or ?
Shoes- yes… do up/undo. Socks, no – we put on/take off

I will make you eat it…is too threatening but sometimes you have to use if he doesn’t like his food!
Hi Ronnie! I’m a teacher myself and I find your videos very enjoyable and, what’s even more important, very useful. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience. Greetings from Serbia.
ronnie teacher i like how you teach
Thanks!
Hi ronnie
can I say “in the top” instead of saying “at the top”
In the top is only used when something is inside something.
At the top is used to talk about location.
It is ok
you’re a great teacher!!! It’s a very good lesson.
thank u teacher , u r creative and professional …
from BAHRAIN

thanks for teaching…i want you to teach me a vocab word and how to use that…………
Hi Ronnie

Hi Ronnie….I love it. Your last expression is memorable.
which one is better to use
“don’t let anybody put you down because you are always in the top”
or
“because you are always at the top”
“Because you are always at the top” is OK but best is “because you are always ON top”
nice
thank you very much for the lesson, from now you will be my teacher
Teacher,I like the way you teach and your lesson also.
Can you help me how to use other, the other, another and others in right way? I always confuse them.
Thanks for your help
Other means a different thing. I’d like the other car.
Another means plus one or one more of something. I’d like another coffee.

Dear Ms Ronnie,
Your lessons are easy. Well done.
Could you explain difference verb get and take?
Thanks a lot of.
I look forward to answering from you.
Your sincerely, Ramil.
Give means to transfer one thing to another person. I give him a letter.
Take means to receive something. I take (receive/get) the letter.
Dear Ms Ronnie,
Sorry but you din’t understand me. I wanted to understand the difference between the verbs get and take.
Thank you.
Best regards, Ramil.
hi teacher Ronnie you are doing best job
you skill power is fabulists
but i have a question for my English skills
that is what’s the meaning of soon and which part of speech is apart of this word and where we use it
Hi Ronnie! Thanks for another great lesson. I wanna ask you something. Why in USA they call laces a shoe strings? And i know for sure that they say about shoes or boots the same as about clothes – put on and take off. Is there a difference between English in Canada and in US? I`m kind of confused.
Hello!
Yes, there are differences between American and Canadian English! However, we (Canadians) understand all of American words/differences because we have American TV.
Most of the differences are just the words we use, and the spelling!
Don’t be confused!
Hope that helped you! Thanks for watching and good luck!
Thanks for your response, Ronnie. I live in US and learn English on my own. That is why I have so many questions. (sorry about that) You`ve helped me a lot! God bless you!
hi ronnie pls reply for my ,messages..

Thanks Ronnie I like your lesson

best regards,,
your teaching style is really excellent…
thanks !
i engyed the lesson
Hi Ronnie!!!
Could you teach me the difference between “put on”, “take off” and “wear”…When must I use them and when not?
Put on and take off are the verbs we use to talk about clothes as you saw in the video!
We hardly ever use the present tense of wear to talk about getting dressed.
We use to be + wearing. “I am wearing a jacket“ (present continuous)
Or “I wore those jeans last night“ (past tense).
Hi Mrs Ronnie, I congratulate you ,nice work, awesome lessons, you know,I’ve never seen of such videos.As my new teacher,you’ve just made me start a new career in english and it no longer a difficult language for me.Wishing that God continuing to pour out his blessings upon you in order to keep teaching.I don’t know how to thank you.
Is there a difference between TELL and SAY? and what about HOW MANY and How much? TALK and SPEAK? ok, thank you in advance.
Yeah, I found the best english web site.I thank you.You did a great job and you also have helped over one million students worldwide, especially me.
it`s very funny and common in learning.she is explaining very good.
Thanks Teacher Ronnie! :)
Tnx very much!!! Ronnie!!! its so useful for me!!! I like your lessons!!! good luck in your job!!!
Thanks Ronnie!
You have been doing great job. I wonder how it is right to say” What did you do today?or What have you done today?
I have read the book by 5o’clock today or I was reading a book by 5 o’clock today or I read a book by 5 o’clock today? ” Thank you very much.
” What did you do today? and What have you done today? are both correct – The first one is simple past, the second one present perfect.
All of the other sentences are incorrect! You cannot use the past or present perfect to talk about a future action!!
Thanks a lot, Ronnie!
But I am still struggling how to say it right. Suppose it is 6 p.m.. The child is at home. Mum comes back home and asks:Did you finish reading that book? The child answers:”Yes, I have finished (finished)it by 5 p.m.”
Is that right? I meant that the child read the book the whole day today (it is still today but the action is complited)and finished reading it at 5oclock.
Sorry if I confuse you:):):)
You can say ”Yes, I have finished it. But because you have used present perfect, you cannot use “by 5 p.m.”. You can say ”Yes, I finished it at 5 p.m.” – this is simple past. With present perfect, you cannot use a time marker “by” or “at’. You can only use “since” for “for”.
I have been read this book for 1 day.
Hello! It is me again. What’s they oposite of “do up” Is it right to say” Do down your jacket?'”
Hello! Good question! The opposite of “do up” is “undo” your jacket (shirt/pants/shoes etc…)
I love english becz you please visit egypt all egyption pepol love eng vid you will enjoy whene you see pyramides of egypt oky we support you soory for wrong wright im beginer in english bey
all egyption pepole support you and
all egyption pepol thank you i hope you visit egypt to enjoy with egyption pyrimides
If I wanna talk about a movie can I say “these scenes are inspired by real student life”
Yes that is correct!
Ronnie thanks a lot for your lessons. One ?regarding your 25/4/2111reply / I have been read this book for 1 day / Is that correct?
NO, when we use present perfect, you can only talk about actions in the past. You would have to say I have been reading this book for 1 day.
Thank you Ronie you are my favorite teacher
Hi Ronnie I liked this lesson I’
good lesson teacher I’m new in this page

hello teacher dearest. my question is that what is the difference between sight and vision???

Hello! What’s the difference between with and by?
Thanks a lot!
With usually means together or plus another. Eg…I went to the movies with my mom.
By usually means how you got somewhere. Eg… I went to the movies by bus.
Many thanks for your great teaching.

thank you i was delighted while you taught the lesson.u are very impressing and comprehensible teacher..once again thank you..
what about jewellery
We put on/take off jewelery!
hi,Ronnie,thanks for the good and helpful lesson,I have a question,please explane me how we should say the opposite of do up,I mean that what we will do with snaps or buttons when we take off our clothers,just open or…?
Snaps and buttons we undo…also shoelaces.
Zippers we unzip!
Hi Ronnie!I really love your teaching style.
hi Ronnie!! u’re damn hilarious!!I burst out laughing(LOL)..
can u plz teach me the usage of AIR QUOTES (FINGER QUOTES) during conversation??
Air quotes mean that the person is mocking something or being sarcastic.
Thanks
Hi Ronnie.I am beginner here and want to learn about English. I appreciate the way u teaching.It is very very good..Thanks and more power!
From: Philippines
Ronniei love you and your english god bless you
thank you
Hi, Ronnie,
Can u please tell me if i am right:
put on your shose, means to wear them
do up your shoes , means to tie your laces,,,,Right??????
One more thing:
tell me why do we use power strips using words like: n# of prongs socket or outlet? cord, fit,plug in…thank u.
It is funny but I like your way to explain the lesson.
Hi, Ronnie,
Can u please tell me if i am right:
put on your shose, means to wear them
do up your shoes , means to tie your laces,,,,Right??????
One more thing:
tell me why do we use power strips using words like: n# of prongs socket or outlet? cord, fit,plug in…thank u
“put on your shoes” means to wear them.
“do up your shoes” means to tie your laces… YES! You are right!
I don’t know why we use the words we do for power strips… sorry.
Hey, Ronnie?
I think u misunderstood me! I asked u ( tell me why do we use power strips using words like: n# of prongs socket or outlet? cord, fit,plug in); I meant I want u to write me the purpose of using power strips ( I want u to use those words in your description), because they are confusing to me. Is it possible to tell me how to ask about: tomorrow’s temperature, weather, and how to ask someone about the hours in which a museum is open, closed ( can i say :when are your hours? is there another way to say it? And how to ask my teacher about his office hours?
THANK YOU
I don’t use all those words… I just say I plug in the cord!
To ask about the weather: “What’s it gonna be like tomorrow?” or “What is the weather supposed to be like tomorrow?”
Yes, you can say “When are your hours?” for a shop/museum or teacher!
Good luck!
Thanks, very simple lessons but useful interesting also
Hey Ronnie,
Thank for answering all my previous questions.
I just want to ask u sth…I have an American prof, and I told him about( do up ur shoes, velcro) and he said that they never use that in the U.S, they say instead( tie ur shoes and fasten your velcro, zip ur zipper)…????what do u think??? One more thing, if u dont cover ur self well during the night then when u wake up u’ll have a stomachache and u have that need to vomit and might have diarrhea…wt do u call that? how can u tell ur teacher that u were absent cause u had that?????
And do u really say nor, or is formal? ex: i dont like fish nor chicken????? Can i ask u one more thing????plz?
I find problems with plr fruits, I mean: would u say i like orange or oranges. he sells French orange or oranges , i bought some o or os ???
THANK YOU> REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
Yeah, if your teacher told you that in American they say “tie/fasten/zip”, then that is great! It’s just easier to say “do up” for all of them!!!!!
If you are sick as you described, you can just say “I was sick last night and threw up”. There is no need to really go into detail about HOW you were sick! (don’t tell people you had diarrhea – no one cares and it is gross!!!!!)
Nor is too formal. We say or.
When we talk about what food we like, we always use plural! “I like apples/bananas/peaches” etc!
it is very usefull and Nice presentation to understand it very easily and quickly . Thx.
So much of fun n interesting too
Thank you a lot

Want = your mouth opens wide and for a long time to pronounce the “ah” sound.

hi, can you please make calaire to me t
where can i use present perfecte tanks
Present perfect we use for an event in the past that was life changing or when we do not have a time marker in the sentence.
Ex… I have been to Japan (life changing). I have been to the bank. (not life changing but there is no time marker – you don’t know when I went).
Hi Ms.Ronnie. Can u teach me how to pronounce the word “COMFORTABLE”? Coz its hard for me to pronounce that right or in an American way. THANKS.

We have a lesson on “freak”!

What I always lack in Ronnie’s lessons is the absence of a preliminary preparation. Here, for example, thins like velcro, fastener, buttons etc. could have been taught very easily by simply wearing some clothing fitted with them.
..or just showing their images.
