Thank you Adam! I got only 7 correct out of 10 after watching this lesson for the first time. I am confused with (or by?) back away and back out. I think I should watch this lesson more than one time.

Dear Adam
thank you for your lesson.It’s very useful
I confused about this question ” It is a good idea to have someone guide you as you try to back your car _____ a tight space.”
you said back in = back into, so why the answer is into ?
pjapnghiem
i suppose ”back your car in” should have been true.
regards
keremgolbasi
Hi pjapnghiem,
I’ve done the same mistake, so I’ve listened the lesson once again.
If I well understand I think “back into” can be used with these 2 cases :
1. The car backed into the wall (= bump the wall)
2. The car backed into its place (“in + to” = mean a movement toward the inside of something, the place in this example).
Hope It’s right and it will help you.
Nico ESL for ever
Hi Pjapnghiem,
Nico explained it well. Space, in this example, means a contained area. So you need to back into (inside of) it.
Adam
Hi adam.

Neat and clear explanation!Not a single superfluous word
AnnaPavlova
Thanks :)
Adam
Hey, Adam, and thank you for this lesson. I was wondering whether you could explain to me why it is incorrect to use ‘back in’ in task 6?
Cryman
Hi Cryman,
Space, in this example, means a contained area. So you need to back into (inside of) it.
Adam
Useful lesson. I noted it is a little bit tricky quiz. There is no verb “back in” but in each question we come across such choice “in”.:)

juventus champ
Hello Adam,
Come and sit ‘by’ me.
We stayed in a cottage ‘by’ the sea.
Come and sit ‘beside’ me.
He kept his bag close ‘beside’ him at all times.
He sat down ‘next to’ Pam.
There’s a public telephone ‘next to’ the pub.
It’s a little village ‘near’ Cardiff.
I don’t want to sit ‘near’ the window.
I’d like to live ‘near’ my parents, if possible.
The prepositions above are confusing words to me (by, beside, next to, and near)
Do you have a magic solution how to use them easily without any embarrassment?
I asked Mr. Alex this question and he answered:
No tricks, unfortunately. Just memorization and trying to think of the logic to them.
Near = close to
Beside = next to/directly to the left or right
By = around/near/close to
Sorry. Wish I had better news for you. :)
gag
Hi Fahdbensalman,
I’m afraid Alex is right. There are many parts of the language that simply require memorization.
That being said, these prepositions are often interchangeable, meaning you shouldn’t make an embarrassing mistake if you used them that way.
Come and sit by/next to/beside me.– all of these would express the same meaning. Near would be a little strange as it still leaves some space between you and the other person.
I will only add some nuances:
next to–in a sequence
beside–to the side
by– wherever there is space close to
near– not far
hope this helps a little.
Adam
Mr. Adam,
I swear that all your nuances are valuables.
They make big differences in our comprehension.
Thanks.
whichsoever
Thanks Adam for this lesson!
I imagine as a good practice to learn ‘phrasal verbs’ filling a big matrix of verbs versus prepositions with their respective meanings. Maybe using this resource I will learn a fraction of them one day :-)
Fabio Cicerre
Good luck Fcicerre :)
Adam
It’s not easy to memorize this less :)

Hi Alex actually I have been studied English for a long time. But I don’t know a lot of vocabularies. Please help me out some vocabularies

Hi Abdelle,
I do test-prep courses only. I’m not sure about the other teachers though. You can write a comment on their videos as well.
Good luck.
Adam
Thank Adam! Great!
Tania D.
Thanks a lot, Adam.
But I have a question.
“Imagine you are/were a farmer, what will you do?”
When we use ‘imagine’, we should ‘are’ or ‘were’?
Besides, the last sentence what tense should I use?
‘will’ is it correct?
Thanks in advance. :)
Sophie
I get one more question.
Rice is mostly grown to the south of the Chang Jiang.
Why do we use ‘to the south…’ but not ‘in the south…’?
Thanks!
Sophie
Hi Sophie,
“Imagine you were a farmer; what would you do?”
(although, many native speakers would use ‘are’ and it has become acceptable.)
To the south means ‘south of’. In the South (capital S) means in the area that is known as the South.
Although, you can say in the southern regions.
Adam

Hello, Adam! Phrasal verbs always are confusing me. But at least about them with “back”, I’m better at using them. I won’t back away from learning English and I won’t back out of my words.

Thanks for your eplanation.Phrasals are really difficult to learn.I have to try many times in order to use them properly.Is it right to use phrasals in formal speaking or writing?
Leonie Spinelli
Hi Leonie,
Yes, phrasal verbs are part of all levels of spoken and written English. They are not slang (though, of course, some are).
Adam
useful lesson. Thanks Adam, but I can not remember exactly the use of all phrasal verbs.

Hi Chau,
They are like vocabulary; the more you use them, the more you’ll remember.

Hi Adam.
So many phrasal verbs, how to catch UP with native speakers?
Memorize all of them ; quit an impossible task.
Trainers, please, carry ON learning them us.
The more we hear phrasal verbs (in their context), the more we become used to figure OUT all these particles additions.
Thanks to back us UP !

Hi Sharait,
I probably won’t make another lesson about this topic as there are so many others, but you can ask me questions about things you didn’t understand here. :)
Adam
Thank you so much dear Adam!! it was very helpful for me too. We have to know more about phrasal verbs because people from different nations can understand hardly the meaning of phrasal verbs and it is more complicated to translate these ones than the simple words. YOUR WORK IS EXCELLENT!!THANK YOU

Hey Adam so basically, “back in” is never use, we just have to use back into for everything right?!!
yoshius black
Hi Yoshius,
Think of back in as the action (how), and back into as the direction (where).
How will you get the car into the garage? I will back in (i.e. not drive forward but backward).
Where will you park the car? I will back it into the garage (where will I put it?)
Does this help?
Adam
Actually, I had the same question about “back in” after watching the video.
Sure, it helped. Thank you!
amrual

what difference between hyphen and dash
CHANBBSOQQ
Hi Chanbbsoqq,
A brown-eyed girl (hyphen)
From 10 – 2 (en dash)
Bob–that was the killer’s name–was found at last. (em dash)
There are 2 types of dash, but a hyphen is used to connect two words to make one, while a dash shows a span, or is used to interrupt the writing.
Adam
Hey Adams my name is Jorge im from Mexico. I I’d like to learn more about English why? Because i need it. Also i must speak this language because its important in my job. Just i dont like something. For example i feel that you should put more examples and also you must splain better. I wish you answer me.
Jorge16marquez@ags
Hi Jorge,
Please keep in mind that these lessons are meant to be quick looks at a topic. There are also examples in the quiz. We can’t write a whole book chapter for each lesson. However, if there is something you don’t understand, you can always ask here.
Adam
Thank you so much Adam.

aysenur.kusan1
Thank you for the lesson Adam! Please tell me what does the next sentence exactly mean: ‘I will do my homework in an hour’? Does it mean that I promise to do my homework during this first hour or it can be done after the first hour? Thank you.(I think, it must be done during the hour, just after promising)
KATRIN777
Hi Katrin,
It can mean I will start to do it one hour later, OR it will take me one hour to complete it. The meaning depends on the context.
I will do my homework in an hour and then we can go.
I’ll just rest a bit now, and I’ll do my homework in an hour.
Adam
Thank you Adam! This is good.
KATRIN777
Thank you very much for a great lesson.
Could you please explain when “nouns become adjectives”. For example:
– sheep’s milk cheese
– performance enhancing drugs
– an apprentice magician
– a medicine man, a priest-doctor
It is unclear for me when I may use a noun, or possession, on a hyphen to make a word which describes the following noun. What happens if I put together several nouns? Will they have meaning of adjectives?
Technically, compound nouns can be long, but this should be avoided if possible.
Adam
very good lesson thanks.

Adam
Hi Adam! I’ve got one more question(by the way – A question or without ‘A’ in this case).
Question:
1 There (IS,ARE) an old man and hares in the boat.
2 There (IS,ARE) hares and an old man in the boat.
(if it is not too difficult, explain me that please)
Thank you.
KATRIN777
There (ARE,IS) one table, two chairs and a divan in my room.
KATRIN777
Technically, the subject takes the verb and in these examples, ‘there’ is not the subject. old man and hares is the compound subject taking the verb are.
an old man and hares are in the boat
hares and an old man are in the boat
one table, two chairs and a divan are in my room.
It might sound strange to use there are one table…, but it’s actually correct.
That being said, good writing usually avoids starting sentences with there is /are anyway.
Does this help?
Adam
Adam, this from a textbook for kids and there’s one strange rule in that book, I read a couple of days ago:
you must use IS or ARE depending of which noun closer to them plural or single (for instance: there is a river and lakes in my city/ there are lakes and a river in my city).
I don’t like this and I don’t believe it (please help!)
KATRIN777
Adam excuse me, I have one more.
In the textbook for 5 class I found one text which called ‘Lollipop Ladies’. There is a sentence from it here.
‘Today so many children go to school by car and bus, that there isn’t as much of a need for patrols to help children cross the streets although, of course, there is still some need.’
Adam, I think there must be ‘TO’ before ‘CROSS’.
Please explain it to me! Bye!
KATRIN777
HI Katrin,
‘help’ is the only verb that does require its following infinitive to use ‘to’. If you add the ‘to’, it’s ok, but you don’t need to. I hope this helps you (to) understand. :)
Adam
Thank you Adam.
KATRIN777
Thanks so much Adam for the lesson. I currently just started learning English an I need help on Noun, verbs, pronoun, adjectives and so much more. Could you direct me.

No such thing as a stupid question Anna.
Yes, both use them ,and for the most part they are the same, but sometimes there are different ones for each. Australians also have some of their own. I can’t recall any at this moment, but I’ll get back to you on that ;)

Do you think studying literature will help me to become good English speaker ? If you recommend me to study literature do you think learning poetry will increase my vocabulary??

I think any studies will improve your English either in vocabularies ,Grammar or combination of sentences .
the more you read in English , the more you gain no matter what the field .
I hope you understand what i mean.
wish you best of luck .

Hello,Adam.Beforehand thanks for all your lesson.They are more useful,especially phrasal verbs.I have one dream you.Could you prepare list of phrasal verbs which you thought us them I want to learn more,but Some times I can’t find useful phrasal verbs with their explanations. Thank you,Adam beforehand :)
desenrascanco
or if it is not possible,please could you recommend useful sites with list of phrasal verbs?
desenrascanco
Thanks for the lesson, very informative. There is the question: “back off” it’s a bit rude, isn’t it? Is it permissible to use this expression in society?
Platonov
Sorry. I did not understand somethings. It is similar back off and back away for me. Why not? Could not anyone explain distinction. Thanks for help.
Natalyzefir
As I understand it, “back off” is more abrupt, even rude expression. And “back away” meaning “to step back, to retreat”. I’m not sure, but it seems to be the meaning.
Platonov

Hi! I would like to know the difference between “back down” and “pull out”. Their meanings are very similar, aren’t they?
Thank you Adam! :)
Laia
Sorry, now I’m mixing up “back out” and “pull out”! How can we tell them apart?
Thank you!,
Laia
Thanks Adam… but I am really confused from back in and back into specially in quiz

Dear Adam,
I would like to say thank you for what you do for students. Your lessons are very clear, simple and usefull.
Will be there another lessons about phrasal verb? (I have seen already 3 about get, set and back)
Daulet HK
There are some mistakes on the next short text. Could you find them?
In this one, Adam had explained the meaning of phrasal verbs with ‘back’. Remember, those phrasal verbs are building with a verb plus a preposition. Backup means go to backwards, it is used to express support; back away to reclaim to other people get away from any place; back down is referring to leave a debate when you are waking of your argument is most weak; back off, it’s useful when you want to say to another don’t bother me, for example, you can feel afraid when someone reach you more than you want, so you can say: ‘hey, back off’. Back in and back into, really I am not sure if I understand it, but I think those are the same meaning, and could be used in the same kind of situations for example when you need to come back and fit any space that exists for this goal. Finally, back out, it mean you have changed your mind, and you prefer a different option that you had chosen at the beginning. I tried to back up this information because I need to back away from here at the moment. If I really wrong, I will need back down, just before other said me back off, if I continue writing in a wrong way. I hope this short write can back in the expectations of the well understanding lesson. If this won’t happen, I never back out to learn. Thank you, Adam

Thank you for the useful class and the breaking down those phrasal verbs that frustrates a lot of learners :) Bye the way I noticed something you mentioned about unclearly in the class that sounds a little like something else off. Now I get what you meant to say. Then by searching the internet, I found that Australian people sometimes call the insect repellment as F-off.
And when it comes to the definition of phrasal verbs, if the combination of a verb and preposition is that, could be F… I just busted out laughing. I feel like earned a lot of something. Thank you Adam.

Hi,
Thanks Adam for your back up us learning English. I learn English for 6 years and still lack confidence in English is my main weakness. I am sure I will not back out learning English, I am stubborn and have goal to one day express myself without any my doubts about understanding what I mean.
Good for us having you as a teacher

hemasaayman
Hey Adam, I get confused between back out, back off and and back. The three of them refer to withdraw from doing something but how can I differentiate them?
iamoreiram
I got 4 out of 10. I need to do more practice. To recap, I copied the explanatios:
“Back away” means “move away from”.
“Back away (from)” means “not get involved or remove oneself from”.
“Back down” means “quit, give up, or stop fighting”.
“Back off” means “remove the pressure or threat”.
“Back out” means “break a commitment or promise”.
“Back into” means “move into a space”.
“Back into” can also mean “move backwards and hit something”.
“Back up” means “move backwards”.
“Back up” means “support or reinforce”.
“Back up” can also mean “make a copy”.

Very interesting lesson Adam, but a little confusing.
but thank you a lot.
Yes, I like this lesson very much :). I’m confused, but this lesson is very interesting and useful! Thank you, Adam :)
Thank you very much Adam. May you have a very happy life.
Thank you Adam! I got only 7 correct out of 10 after watching this lesson for the first time. I am confused with (or by?) back away and back out. I think I should watch this lesson more than one time.
Adam, you are a peach of a teacher. Not matter the score; the ifo is valuable. TAh

Dear Adam
thank you for your lesson.It’s very useful
I confused about this question ” It is a good idea to have someone guide you as you try to back your car _____ a tight space.”
you said back in = back into, so why the answer is into ?
i suppose ”back your car in” should have been true.
regards
Hi pjapnghiem,
I’ve done the same mistake, so I’ve listened the lesson once again.
If I well understand I think “back into” can be used with these 2 cases :
1. The car backed into the wall (= bump the wall)
2. The car backed into its place (“in + to” = mean a movement toward the inside of something, the place in this example).
Hope It’s right and it will help you.
Hi Pjapnghiem,
Nico explained it well. Space, in this example, means a contained area. So you need to back into (inside of) it.
Hi adam.
pls help me i want speak fluent english but i dont have a partner,what could i do?
Thanks very useful lesson.
hey
how are you?
thanks,not bad.
and how are you?
Why are phrasal verbs so difficult to learn and to remember???
Thank you very much Adam to make this process easier ;)
It is a little bit confused but ..I could get it better.in my mind We have to use them in a conversation.
very good lesson but is not a new lesson, is an old lesson. What’s happened.
Hi Frank,
Where have you seen it previously?
Sorry Adam, I have confused with the lesson “Phrasal Verbs As Nouns” as you see, I follow all your lessons. Thank you, your lessons are my favorites.
Can we say, So you back down of him ? Or just back down !? Adam, give me a hand please
really good backing up :)
good lesson
Adam, thank you so much for the lesson, could you make a video about phrasal verbs with the word MAKE please
I’ll get on it Dmytro ;)
Thank you. Wonderful lesson.
clear but not to back off (the pressure) to learn the different meanings. Need to practice.
Thank you for all your help.
I enjoy learning phrasal verbs because sometimes its befogging but still very interesting to learn.Thank you Adam.I think I could understand it only because of your fantastic explanation.
Neat and clear explanation!Not a single superfluous word
Thanks :)
Hey, Adam, and thank you for this lesson. I was wondering whether you could explain to me why it is incorrect to use ‘back in’ in task 6?
Hi Cryman,
Space, in this example, means a contained area. So you need to back into (inside of) it.
Useful lesson. I noted it is a little bit tricky quiz. There is no verb “back in” but in each question we come across such choice “in”.:)
I liked this lesson. I missed a few sample sentences.
good lesson! thanks Adam
I liked it , Thank you Adam. You are a good teacher.
I had 7 out of 10. I liked it. Thank you very much, teacher Adam!
Thanks Adam. I will revise this lesson.
very useful lesson, I liked this lesson, those phrasal verbs are so confused for me, thank you very much.
Great lesson, Adam, you are a fantastic teacher.
i got 9 out of 10
thank you so much for this leson
thank u adam
Thanks Adam!
It is a kind of deja vu or saw this kind before?
You’re the second to mention this Hector. When did you see it before? It was new for me.
hahaha really? I thought I had seen about 6 months, anyway thanks Adam
It is a kind of deja vu or saw this class before?
Thanks for the nice informations !!.
thanks for the interesting lesson.the explaining was nevertheless not enough
Hello Adam,
Come and sit ‘by’ me.
We stayed in a cottage ‘by’ the sea.
Come and sit ‘beside’ me.
He kept his bag close ‘beside’ him at all times.
He sat down ‘next to’ Pam.
There’s a public telephone ‘next to’ the pub.
It’s a little village ‘near’ Cardiff.
I don’t want to sit ‘near’ the window.
I’d like to live ‘near’ my parents, if possible.
The prepositions above are confusing words to me (by, beside, next to, and near)
Do you have a magic solution how to use them easily without any embarrassment?
I asked Mr. Alex this question and he answered:
No tricks, unfortunately. Just memorization and trying to think of the logic to them.
Near = close to
Beside = next to/directly to the left or right
By = around/near/close to
Sorry. Wish I had better news for you. :)
Hi Fahdbensalman,
I’m afraid Alex is right. There are many parts of the language that simply require memorization.
That being said, these prepositions are often interchangeable, meaning you shouldn’t make an embarrassing mistake if you used them that way.
Come and sit by/next to/beside me.– all of these would express the same meaning. Near would be a little strange as it still leaves some space between you and the other person.
I will only add some nuances:
next to–in a sequence
beside–to the side
by– wherever there is space close to
near– not far
hope this helps a little.
Mr. Adam,
I swear that all your nuances are valuables.
They make big differences in our comprehension.
Thanks.
Thanks Adam for this lesson!
I imagine as a good practice to learn ‘phrasal verbs’ filling a big matrix of verbs versus prepositions with their respective meanings. Maybe using this resource I will learn a fraction of them one day :-)
Good luck Fcicerre :)
It’s not easy to memorize this less :)
Hi Alex actually I have been studied English for a long time. But I don’t know a lot of vocabularies. Please help me out some vocabularies
You (Alex) Emma, James, Ronnie, Adam,Rebecca, Gill, Benjamin and other teachers I want to say thank you for teaching amazing English, as you see my English I need more help.
Please If anyone of you provided online courses
I’m going to take them

ABDELLE THANKS
Hi Abdelle,
I do test-prep courses only. I’m not sure about the other teachers though. You can write a comment on their videos as well.
Good luck.
Thank Adam! Great!
Thanks a lot, Adam.
But I have a question.
“Imagine you are/were a farmer, what will you do?”
When we use ‘imagine’, we should ‘are’ or ‘were’?
Besides, the last sentence what tense should I use?
‘will’ is it correct?
Thanks in advance. :)
I get one more question.
Rice is mostly grown to the south of the Chang Jiang.
Why do we use ‘to the south…’ but not ‘in the south…’?
Thanks!
Hi Sophie,
“Imagine you were a farmer; what would you do?”
(although, many native speakers would use ‘are’ and it has become acceptable.)
To the south means ‘south of’. In the South (capital S) means in the area that is known as the South.
Although, you can say in the southern regions.
10/10
the answer of question number 6 is wrong, in is the correct answer
Hi Deedo,
Space, in this example, means a contained area. So you need to back into (inside of) it.
Real good. Thanks, Adam.
May Allah reward you greatly.
It is a very useful lesson.
Thank you Adam. It’s useful lesson.
I love phrasal verbs. :-)
:)
Thank you Adam for your lesson.I got 8 out of ten ,and I’m proud.but I could have got ten out of ten.next time!
ugh! 4/10 :(
Great!! Thanks
Good Lesson
great lesson, thank you
ohh !! i have more difficult to learning english
i need help :(
Nice lesson!
Mr. Adam thanx alot for your effort it’s quite an interesting topic
By the way I think back out is similarly to turn around both of them means to change your mind
Thanks again have a nice weekened :)
You’re right, Rena. :)
Hello, Adam! Phrasal verbs always are confusing me. But at least about them with “back”, I’m better at using them. I won’t back away from learning English and I won’t back out of my words.
It is always good to learn phrasal verbs, thanks, Adam! Júlio César from Fortaleza CE, Brazil.
Thanks that good job
Thank you.
Thank you veru much for this website and for all this woderful lessons.
hi
thankyou
Mr adam
Thanks a lot, Adam! Well done!
8/10 thanks
very good ,thanks everything
Thank you Adam.
Thank you Adam
Thanks for your eplanation.Phrasals are really difficult to learn.I have to try many times in order to use them properly.Is it right to use phrasals in formal speaking or writing?
Hi Leonie,
Yes, phrasal verbs are part of all levels of spoken and written English. They are not slang (though, of course, some are).
useful lesson. Thanks Adam, but I can not remember exactly the use of all phrasal verbs.
Hi Chau,
They are like vocabulary; the more you use them, the more you’ll remember.
absolutely right
Thanks for the tips!
8/10 ❤️ Thank you Adam
80% not bad :-)
thank you
i got 8 out of 10 thanks for this lessons
Hi Adam.
So many phrasal verbs, how to catch UP with native speakers?
Memorize all of them ; quit an impossible task.
Trainers, please, carry ON learning them us.
The more we hear phrasal verbs (in their context), the more we become used to figure OUT all these particles additions.
Thanks to back us UP !
i have got 6 of 10 :D
Just have started reviewing my English. 8 out of 10, so far so good. Never back down)
Everyone needs someone to back him up during his learning process. Thank you very much!
Adam: I don’t understand your lesson, it’s some confuse, can you make a new lesson with other examples? Please! you will make me really happy! please!
Hi Sharait,
I probably won’t make another lesson about this topic as there are so many others, but you can ask me questions about things you didn’t understand here. :)
Thank you so much dear Adam!! it was very helpful for me too. We have to know more about phrasal verbs because people from different nations can understand hardly the meaning of phrasal verbs and it is more complicated to translate these ones than the simple words. YOUR WORK IS EXCELLENT!!THANK YOU
thanks a lot
Thank you Adam!
Thanks a lot! I will continue to hear your lessons/
Thanks youu!!
Thanks!!!!I never know the right term to use , will whatch the lesson again next week!!!
Hey Adam so basically, “back in” is never use, we just have to use back into for everything right?!!
Hi Yoshius,
Think of back in as the action (how), and back into as the direction (where).
How will you get the car into the garage? I will back in (i.e. not drive forward but backward).
Where will you park the car? I will back it into the garage (where will I put it?)
Does this help?
Actually, I had the same question about “back in” after watching the video.
Sure, it helped. Thank you!
very useful lesson! Thank you Adam.
Very interesting your lesson! Thanks for help me!!!!
what difference between hyphen and dash
Hi Chanbbsoqq,
A brown-eyed girl (hyphen)
From 10 – 2 (en dash)
Bob–that was the killer’s name–was found at last. (em dash)
There are 2 types of dash, but a hyphen is used to connect two words to make one, while a dash shows a span, or is used to interrupt the writing.
Hey Adams my name is Jorge im from Mexico. I I’d like to learn more about English why? Because i need it. Also i must speak this language because its important in my job. Just i dont like something. For example i feel that you should put more examples and also you must splain better. I wish you answer me.
Hi Jorge,
Please keep in mind that these lessons are meant to be quick looks at a topic. There are also examples in the quiz. We can’t write a whole book chapter for each lesson. However, if there is something you don’t understand, you can always ask here.
Thank you so much Adam.
I’ll try to score better next time
Thanks for the lesson
it was a good lesson too,thanks…..
very beutiful poketto
Thank u, it is enjoyable!!
Hi, Adam. Thank you for the lesson. It was very interesting and useful.
For me, It’s not easy to memorize all phrasal verbs, but I will never back out of these lessons like this.
(I hope that my sentence could be correct!)
Thank you for this useful lesson. All the best to you, my favorite teacher Adam. :)
It is :)
THank you for your lesson its very usefull, I’ve been long time want to learn phrasal verbs
wow i got 80% from the frist time i am so happy thank you adam
Thank you Adam
Thank you for the lesson Adam! Please tell me what does the next sentence exactly mean: ‘I will do my homework in an hour’? Does it mean that I promise to do my homework during this first hour or it can be done after the first hour? Thank you.(I think, it must be done during the hour, just after promising)
Hi Katrin,
It can mean I will start to do it one hour later, OR it will take me one hour to complete it. The meaning depends on the context.
I will do my homework in an hour and then we can go.
I’ll just rest a bit now, and I’ll do my homework in an hour.
Thank you Adam! This is good.
Thank you very much for a great lesson.
Could you please explain when “nouns become adjectives”. For example:
– sheep’s milk cheese
– performance enhancing drugs
– an apprentice magician
– a medicine man, a priest-doctor
It is unclear for me when I may use a noun, or possession, on a hyphen to make a word which describes the following noun. What happens if I put together several nouns? Will they have meaning of adjectives?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Nyirka,
These are called compound nouns. When all the nouns are necessary, the last one is usually acts as the noun and the preceding ones act as adjectives. To use the hyphen, you need a compound adjective :https://www.engvid.com/learn-english-punctuation-hyphens-compound-adjectives/
Technically, compound nouns can be long, but this should be avoided if possible.
very good lesson thanks.
Hey Adam!
Can you provide us with vedio on Adjective phrases, Noun and Verb Phrases.
I’ll see what I can do Chetanverma
Thank you Adam for this lesson. I am finding difficulty in understanding difference between Look,Seems,Sound and Feel. Can you help us in understanding the difference in your lessons.It will be a great help. Thanks.
I’ll get on it Vipin :)
Hola Adam o James, me encantan sus clases. Tengo la oportunidad de viajar a Toronto con un grupo de estudiantes he enviado como 4 correos. IMPOSIBLE UNA RESPUESTA PLEASE.I will be there for one month, I want to visit you is that possible?
Hi Maria,
Sorry, I don’t know Spanish and I don’t have access to your gmail account. Can you email the site?
sorry, please get in touch with my trough my gmail. tnaks you
thank you for all teachers , i have a request we need some lessons about american schools or high school , vocabulary for example classes , labs , gruads or marks the tests , the lockers ,all these things thank you
Good idea Soso. I’ll see what I can do for you :)
Hi Adam! I’ve got one more question(by the way – A question or without ‘A’ in this case).
Question:
1 There (IS,ARE) an old man and hares in the boat.
2 There (IS,ARE) hares and an old man in the boat.
(if it is not too difficult, explain me that please)
Thank you.
There (ARE,IS) one table, two chairs and a divan in my room.
Technically, the subject takes the verb and in these examples, ‘there’ is not the subject. old man and hares is the compound subject taking the verb are.
an old man and hares are in the boat
hares and an old man are in the boat
one table, two chairs and a divan are in my room.
It might sound strange to use there are one table…, but it’s actually correct.
That being said, good writing usually avoids starting sentences with there is /are anyway.
Does this help?
Adam, this from a textbook for kids and there’s one strange rule in that book, I read a couple of days ago:
you must use IS or ARE depending of which noun closer to them plural or single (for instance: there is a river and lakes in my city/ there are lakes and a river in my city).
I don’t like this and I don’t believe it (please help!)
Adam excuse me, I have one more.
In the textbook for 5 class I found one text which called ‘Lollipop Ladies’. There is a sentence from it here.
‘Today so many children go to school by car and bus, that there isn’t as much of a need for patrols to help children cross the streets although, of course, there is still some need.’
Adam, I think there must be ‘TO’ before ‘CROSS’.
Please explain it to me! Bye!
HI Katrin,
‘help’ is the only verb that does require its following infinitive to use ‘to’. If you add the ‘to’, it’s ok, but you don’t need to. I hope this helps you (to) understand. :)
Thank you Adam.
Thanks so much Adam for the lesson. I currently just started learning English an I need help on Noun, verbs, pronoun, adjectives and so much more. Could you direct me.
Hi Jose,
These are called parts of speech. Google search this term and you will find lots of stuff online. :)

Thank you Adam! You’re lesson is a great help to me.
I did the lesson and I got 50% right.I feel a hard difficulty to understand everything because my listening is not good.
I need to learn more and practice it more.
But it was an excellent explanation, Adam.
Adam, i often heard people say sentence like “pick up the rubbish”.is it wrong?
Hi Ayuvirgo,
No, it’s ok. It’s very British :)
In American English you’ll likely hear “pick up the trash/garbage” :)
Thanks Adam
Thank you Adam! You’re lesson is a great help to me.
Thnak you Mr Adam
I think, some of test questions in quiz are not included in the teaching video.
Which one(s) David? I generally keep it in line, but sometimes one slips through ;)
Thanks Adam for the reply. I will learn it again and try the quiz. I will also mark it if the problems are still raised.
ne of the best teacher! Understandable explanations as always )
Very important this lesson. thank you very much
thank you For thats leason
it’s hard
Very important.Thank you Adam
its helpful thank you so much !!
Hi , I love the lesson
Hi Adam!Can I make a stupid question?… Are these phrasal verbs American-English or British-English too?
No such thing as a stupid question Anna.
Yes, both use them ,and for the most part they are the same, but sometimes there are different ones for each. Australians also have some of their own. I can’t recall any at this moment, but I’ll get back to you on that ;)
good lesson i learned more with you :)
Adam Sensei ! Henji arigatou gozaimashita !Kondo mata yoroshiku onegaishimasu .I’m soo glad i found my english teacher can understand Nihongo…… Adam Sensei hontoni arigatou 。
I’m confused with all “BACK” :P
Thanks!
Simple and good explanation make me easy to understand,thank you so much Adam.
Very interesting lesson (:
I want to ask you (:
Do you think studying literature will help me to become good English speaker ? If you recommend me to study literature do you think learning poetry will increase my vocabulary??
I think any studies will improve your English either in vocabularies ,Grammar or combination of sentences .
the more you read in English , the more you gain no matter what the field .
I hope you understand what i mean.
wish you best of luck .
thank you

Thank you!
Hello,Adam.Beforehand thanks for all your lesson.They are more useful,especially phrasal verbs.I have one dream you.Could you prepare list of phrasal verbs which you thought us them I want to learn more,but Some times I can’t find useful phrasal verbs with their explanations. Thank you,Adam beforehand :)
or if it is not possible,please could you recommend useful sites with list of phrasal verbs?
Thanks for the lesson, very informative. There is the question: “back off” it’s a bit rude, isn’t it? Is it permissible to use this expression in society?
Sorry. I did not understand somethings. It is similar back off and back away for me. Why not? Could not anyone explain distinction. Thanks for help.
As I understand it, “back off” is more abrupt, even rude expression. And “back away” meaning “to step back, to retreat”. I’m not sure, but it seems to be the meaning.
very useful explanation thank you
wow. I got 9 marks. Thank you Adam. I revised thrice this video. it’s really helpful.
pls put some more videos about vocabulary.
I like all of your lessons. They help me improve my English very easy. Thanks so much!

Thanks, Adam…It was an excellent lesson and a very good explanation as always…
Hi there! It was a excellent lesson, thank you!
Hi! I would like to know the difference between “back down” and “pull out”. Their meanings are very similar, aren’t they?
Thank you Adam! :)
Sorry, now I’m mixing up “back out” and “pull out”! How can we tell them apart?
Thank you!,
Thanks Adam… but I am really confused from back in and back into specially in quiz
Dear Adam,
I would like to say thank you for what you do for students. Your lessons are very clear, simple and usefull.
Will be there another lessons about phrasal verb? (I have seen already 3 about get, set and back)
There are some mistakes on the next short text. Could you find them?
In this one, Adam had explained the meaning of phrasal verbs with ‘back’. Remember, those phrasal verbs are building with a verb plus a preposition. Backup means go to backwards, it is used to express support; back away to reclaim to other people get away from any place; back down is referring to leave a debate when you are waking of your argument is most weak; back off, it’s useful when you want to say to another don’t bother me, for example, you can feel afraid when someone reach you more than you want, so you can say: ‘hey, back off’. Back in and back into, really I am not sure if I understand it, but I think those are the same meaning, and could be used in the same kind of situations for example when you need to come back and fit any space that exists for this goal. Finally, back out, it mean you have changed your mind, and you prefer a different option that you had chosen at the beginning. I tried to back up this information because I need to back away from here at the moment. If I really wrong, I will need back down, just before other said me back off, if I continue writing in a wrong way. I hope this short write can back in the expectations of the well understanding lesson. If this won’t happen, I never back out to learn. Thank you, Adam
Thank you, thank you and thank you!!
thank you , very useful lesson
Thank you so much Adam… you are Awesome !!!

Great lesson Adam…
Can I say – I backed my car up into the wall?
Thanks Adam!
Thank you so much Adam
9 out of 10, the paparazzi one was really good.
Thank you for the useful class and the breaking down those phrasal verbs that frustrates a lot of learners :) Bye the way I noticed something you mentioned about unclearly in the class that sounds a little like something else off. Now I get what you meant to say. Then by searching the internet, I found that Australian people sometimes call the insect repellment as F-off.
And when it comes to the definition of phrasal verbs, if the combination of a verb and preposition is that, could be F… I just busted out laughing. I feel like earned a lot of something. Thank you Adam.
What I am doing in here I know English . by the way English is craziest language I see in my life ..Goshhhhhh
thanks adam
Hi,
Thanks Adam for your back up us learning English. I learn English for 6 years and still lack confidence in English is my main weakness. I am sure I will not back out learning English, I am stubborn and have goal to one day express myself without any my doubts about understanding what I mean.
Good for us having you as a teacher
Best
hey Adam, little bit confusion between back in and back into.
Thanks, Adam!
Great video. It helps me to carry on improving my English skills. I got them all right. Thanks Adam
Hey Adam, I get confused between back out, back off and and back. The three of them refer to withdraw from doing something but how can I differentiate them?
I got 4 out of 10. I need to do more practice. To recap, I copied the explanatios:
“Back away” means “move away from”.
“Back away (from)” means “not get involved or remove oneself from”.
“Back down” means “quit, give up, or stop fighting”.
“Back off” means “remove the pressure or threat”.
“Back out” means “break a commitment or promise”.
“Back into” means “move into a space”.
“Back into” can also mean “move backwards and hit something”.
“Back up” means “move backwards”.
“Back up” means “support or reinforce”.
“Back up” can also mean “make a copy”.
Hello Adam sir,you are great.
could you provide some important matter for Literature ( Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Milton and Galsworthy) because they are prescribed in syllabus which I preparing for my exam. Some fact and some important Lines, criticism upon them.
Thanks a lot Adam
Very useful.
