Many thanks for this useful lesson and your great efforts Adam, the main problem in this verbs is no one can understand them unless the person that you talk with is American native speaker and for the record I did that with many people that I know but unfortunately they were just staring on me hahaha!! One more thing could you please clarify to me what “Knock Off” means? I have heard Simon in British’s got talent TV show saying “Lets knock this off with No” but I couldn’t understand what does it mean!! thanks.
taharaad
Hi Taharaad. “Knock off” means to stop work. I hope I can help. :)
BackToSchool
Hi Tahaaad,
Knock off can also mean finish something. So what Simon said was let’s finish this discussion with a no.
Hope that helps.
Adam
Hi Adam..
I’m thankful for the clarification.. now it’s pretty clear to me, One more thing I have heard an expression more than one which is “the day after pill” in TV series and it’s a pill or something like that but I have no idea about it or where this expression came from also it’s not clear enough??
Thanks
taharaad
“look at here”vs “look at me”
“keep it coming ” vs “keep coming”
and also while in taxi how can i say to driver if i want him to keep driving slowly and stay on the left or near to kerb
could you please clear my doubt ?
vnods
Hello Mr.Adam I’ve question about ur pronunciation lesson u said pronunciation not pronoun,but I think Miss.Ronnie said pronounciation
Farzad B.Basam
hi adam I love your lessons and Im struggling English. I want you to ask about idiom. some words have several meanings. Also even if look up the meaning of words, I cant not understand completely. How should I do to search idiom and to memorize. Im waiting for your respond.

Good morning sir.Thanks for your lesson.I have one question.Not about this lesson.Are’I am going to do something’and’I am going to be doing something’ same expressions?
oshada
Hi Oshada,
Not exactly the same. I am going to do something
means you have a plan for the future.
I am going to be doing something, means you will be busy.
They are similar, but the nuance is a little different.
Hope that helps.
Adam
Hello sir,Thanks for answering.It’s made me understand.Good luck with your teaching!

Happy weekend! :)
dorycam
Hi Dory! Well,it seems that you are making success…lol.
Take care.
Marcelo Machado
Yes, it’s true!LOL Haha!
Hi Marcelo! I’m glad to hear you! How are you? What are you doing in the warm Brazil? Right now in Rome, we’re freezing ! :))
dorycam
Hi dear! I’m doing well, thanks for asking. And not so warm..lol..I don’t live at the warm part of Brazil. Actually, is pretty cold where I live. That’s why my grandparents chose to live here when they came from Italy. Shame on me for not being able to speak Italian…lol. But I will someday and maybe we should exchange our SWIMMING lessons for Italian lessons…do you remember? Glad to see you too and keep up your studies.
Marcelo Machado
Yes, I remember our lessons… at this point, I would like to learn Portuguese and Spanish. :))) We will have a lot to learn! LOL
Great! Your grandparents are Italians! What’s their city of origin?
I hope your studies are going well.
I keep saying that engVid is the best site ever!
Have a great weekend!
dorycam
Hi! They were from Turin but they are not alive anymore. I hope you learn Portuguese and Spanish and this won’t be so challenging for you because they are very similar. Brazilian Portuguese would be easier for you because we have lots of Italian words in our vocabulary. Take care dear and have a great weekend you too.
Marcelo Machado
I’ve forgotten to mention that you’re absolutely right when you said that Engvid is the best English site on Internet. At least it’s free. Good to know that you are always here improving your English. How long have you been studying?
Marcelo Machado
Hi Marcelo, I’m sorry for your grandparents! Even my grandparents are no longer alive. I miss them so much! Turin is a beautiful city.
I knew the Latin languages are very similar, but I didn’t know that Brazilian Portuguese had Italian words in the vocabulary!
Even English vocabulary has a lot of words very similar to ours… Sometimes the world seems really small!! :) I started to study English grammar for about a year, but I’ve known engVid only five months ago. Before then, I knew only the English that I learned by the songs!! :)) Ciao!
dorycam
Hi Dory! Don’t be sorry for them…lol..I wasn’t even born when they died, but thanks. Congratulations for your English. Having in mind that you started studying just five months ago I’d like to tell that you’ve already reached an excellent level, keep it up. And about the Italian words in our vocabulary, I think it’s due to the large amount of Italian immigrants. Only USA and, perhaps, Argentina, has more italian descendants than us. Ciao Regazza! LOL.
Marcelo Machado
Thanks for the compliments! :) Also your English is good… don’t give up!
It’s true, Italians are a bit everywhere!
Happy new week! Ciao Ragazzo! LOL

MASF
that is so useful .. but can we say that head over had the same meaning with head for?
Farah Jamal
Hi Farah,
Not exactly. Head for is used more to give directions to a specific destination. Head over basically means go to.
Hope that helps.
Adam
hi Adam,
then what about “head to” and “head over” aren’t they the same?
you’ve got a good style of teaching

Great lesson Adam, thank you!
sgmmm
Great lesson indeed. However, I would say phrasal verbs are one of the biggest difficulties the English students have to cope with. At least that’s true for me. In my language (French), each verb has its own precise meaning that nothing can modify (of course some have homonyms with the same spelling but a total different meaning). To help the poor English students th
patple13
Help Adam. I left a comment, as a matter of fact several times, but it never appears. Something seems wrong; Thank you.
patple13
To help the poor English students that we are, an exhaustive list of the prepositions used in phrasal verbs with the explanations for what they change the verb would be greatly appreciated. EASY, as you often say Adam ;).

Hi Patple,
I’ll see what I can do for you. :)

jesus1992
Hi Adam, your lessons are a Godsend. Although I am a native speaker of the English language, my academic knowledge is very poor. This has become a problem, as I have begun to write fiction and my publisher requires me to submit work to a very high standard. Your explanations are a great help for someone like me that should have worked harder at school. Thank you.
CaptCluster
O yes, one more thing. You come across as a really nice guy, a pleasure to listen to that makes it so much easier to pay attention.
CaptCluster
Thanks Captain :)
I am also working on a novel now, so know how hard fiction can be. Keep at it.

Dear Alex, the answer to question 7 is “head to”. However, it isn’t included in your explanation. So, I picked the option “head over” because according to the vídeo, it means “go to a place”. Apart from that, the explanation is excellent. Thanks a million.

I made a mistake in question #7.
Actually, I wanted to answer “head to a safe place” but you did not mention about “head to” in the video. Therefore I have chosen the wrong choice “head over”.
As a result, now I know how to use both of them :))
Thank you so much, Adam. You are a great master!

hello! ı have a quesiton. while doing the test, relaised something. what’s the difference between “head to” and ” head over”? “head over” is to go to a specific place as Adam taught in the video. what about “head to”? are they same?

I think there isn’t any question about head for in quiz

Thank you
Thanks ! I’ve never heard about this phrasal verbs !
me neither…
*these phrasal verbs
Ohhh, good one!
Many thanks for this useful lesson and your great efforts Adam, the main problem in this verbs is no one can understand them unless the person that you talk with is American native speaker and for the record I did that with many people that I know but unfortunately they were just staring on me hahaha!! One more thing could you please clarify to me what “Knock Off” means? I have heard Simon in British’s got talent TV show saying “Lets knock this off with No” but I couldn’t understand what does it mean!! thanks.
Hi Taharaad. “Knock off” means to stop work. I hope I can help. :)
Hi Tahaaad,
Knock off can also mean finish something. So what Simon said was let’s finish this discussion with a no.
Hope that helps.
Hi Adam..
I’m thankful for the clarification.. now it’s pretty clear to me, One more thing I have heard an expression more than one which is “the day after pill” in TV series and it’s a pill or something like that but I have no idea about it or where this expression came from also it’s not clear enough??
Thanks
“look at here”vs “look at me”
“keep it coming ” vs “keep coming”
and also while in taxi how can i say to driver if i want him to keep driving slowly and stay on the left or near to kerb
could you please clear my doubt ?
Hello Mr.Adam I’ve question about ur pronunciation lesson u said pronunciation not pronoun,but I think Miss.Ronnie said pronounciation
hi adam I love your lessons and Im struggling English. I want you to ask about idiom. some words have several meanings. Also even if look up the meaning of words, I cant not understand completely. How should I do to search idiom and to memorize. Im waiting for your respond.
But also means gorgeous
Thank you Adam!! It is not easy to remember, but very useful phrases i hope)).

thank you so much .
Good morning sir.Thanks for your lesson.I have one question.Not about this lesson.Are’I am going to do something’and’I am going to be doing something’ same expressions?
Hi Oshada,
Not exactly the same. I am going to do something
means you have a plan for the future.
I am going to be doing something, means you will be busy.
They are similar, but the nuance is a little different.
Hope that helps.
Hello sir,Thanks for answering.It’s made me understand.Good luck with your teaching!
hi..adam,can you mention some example of i’m going to be doing something?
thanks
for be my first time, i guess that’s good

Hi … Dorycam, Could you accept me as your friend !!
Certainly! Nice to meet you! :)
ciao Italia:)
Ciao!!! :)
hello how are you my new italian friend.Would you mind if you taught me italian?:)
hi dorycam could you accept me as a friend?
Hi feeling87! You are welcome! How are you?
i’m fine thanks and you…
i wonder if you have skype
add me my account is
feeling.heart87
No, I haven’t Skype at this time. But I’m on twitter, my name is @doryblue2.
Happy weekend! :)
Hi Dory! Well,it seems that you are making success…lol.
Take care.
Yes, it’s true!LOL Haha!
Hi Marcelo! I’m glad to hear you! How are you? What are you doing in the warm Brazil? Right now in Rome, we’re freezing ! :))
Hi dear! I’m doing well, thanks for asking. And not so warm..lol..I don’t live at the warm part of Brazil. Actually, is pretty cold where I live. That’s why my grandparents chose to live here when they came from Italy. Shame on me for not being able to speak Italian…lol. But I will someday and maybe we should exchange our SWIMMING lessons for Italian lessons…do you remember? Glad to see you too and keep up your studies.
Yes, I remember our lessons… at this point, I would like to learn Portuguese and Spanish. :))) We will have a lot to learn! LOL
Great! Your grandparents are Italians! What’s their city of origin?
I hope your studies are going well.
I keep saying that engVid is the best site ever!
Have a great weekend!
Hi! They were from Turin but they are not alive anymore. I hope you learn Portuguese and Spanish and this won’t be so challenging for you because they are very similar. Brazilian Portuguese would be easier for you because we have lots of Italian words in our vocabulary. Take care dear and have a great weekend you too.
I’ve forgotten to mention that you’re absolutely right when you said that Engvid is the best English site on Internet. At least it’s free. Good to know that you are always here improving your English. How long have you been studying?
Hi Marcelo, I’m sorry for your grandparents! Even my grandparents are no longer alive. I miss them so much! Turin is a beautiful city.
I knew the Latin languages are very similar, but I didn’t know that Brazilian Portuguese had Italian words in the vocabulary!
Even English vocabulary has a lot of words very similar to ours… Sometimes the world seems really small!! :) I started to study English grammar for about a year, but I’ve known engVid only five months ago. Before then, I knew only the English that I learned by the songs!! :)) Ciao!
Hi Dory! Don’t be sorry for them…lol..I wasn’t even born when they died, but thanks. Congratulations for your English. Having in mind that you started studying just five months ago I’d like to tell that you’ve already reached an excellent level, keep it up. And about the Italian words in our vocabulary, I think it’s due to the large amount of Italian immigrants. Only USA and, perhaps, Argentina, has more italian descendants than us. Ciao Regazza! LOL.
Thanks for the compliments! :) Also your English is good… don’t give up!
It’s true, Italians are a bit everywhere!
Happy new week! Ciao Ragazzo! LOL
thank Adam i think this is very useful lesson but i have never heard this expressions
thanks Adam, it’s a important lesson actually i don’t understand all but i have 7/10
good job teacher
I believe these verbs are coming from the Ship navigation. It might have been good idea if you have given the introduction.
Good tip Viveki,
I don’t think most people would know that.
very interesting lesson! Thanks
Thanks Adam I have learned a lot!
that is so useful .. but can we say that head over had the same meaning with head for?
Hi Farah,
Not exactly. Head for is used more to give directions to a specific destination. Head over basically means go to.
Hope that helps.
hi Adam,
then what about “head to” and “head over” aren’t they the same?
you’ve got a good style of teaching
Thank you Adam, you’re a great teacher .
Great class!! Thank you.
thanks good lesson
i got 80 per cent not bad

Hi Sario,
If you see a flood coming toward you, head for higher ground where it will be dry.
Hope that helps.
This kind lesson is very important for student but try to add other subject example civics chemistry etc.
Hi Eyulal,
I think most people here are trying to learn basic English. Specific subject matters would help a limited number of people. But if you have specific questions, feel free to ask.
really helpful, all of your lessons are supporting stations for all who want continue with their learning
thanks a lot Adam
I love Roonie by her teaching

If you find in the wrong way, you need head back, and then try other way.

Thanka
Thanks Adam;İt’s been very useful for me.
hi meldem,
could you add me on your skype to practice english!!
Thank you, Adam
Great lesson Adam, thank you!
Great lesson indeed. However, I would say phrasal verbs are one of the biggest difficulties the English students have to cope with. At least that’s true for me. In my language (French), each verb has its own precise meaning that nothing can modify (of course some have homonyms with the same spelling but a total different meaning). To help the poor English students th
Help Adam. I left a comment, as a matter of fact several times, but it never appears. Something seems wrong; Thank you.
To help the poor English students that we are, an exhaustive list of the prepositions used in phrasal verbs with the explanations for what they change the verb would be greatly appreciated. EASY, as you often say Adam ;).
Hi Patple,
I’ll see what I can do for you. :)
really good idea patple
Thank you very much!
Love your lessons…thank you Adam!
Thanks Adam
Excellent!!! Thanks a lot!
very nice!
i’m sure i will learn a lot here :)
Thank you so much, Adam. Phrasal verbs are really difficult part of English grammar, we have to learn them by heart and try to use in any kind of conversation.
phrasal verbs are a headache, anyway thanks for the lesson
Thank you
oh my God that was amazing lesson thanks
I’vs got 9 correct out of 10, thank you very much Adam!

Thank u so much for this lesson. Now I can use head in many different ways. My friends be ready I’m going to bother you with head phrasal verb ^_*
Hi Adam, your lessons are a Godsend. Although I am a native speaker of the English language, my academic knowledge is very poor. This has become a problem, as I have begun to write fiction and my publisher requires me to submit work to a very high standard. Your explanations are a great help for someone like me that should have worked harder at school. Thank you.
O yes, one more thing. You come across as a really nice guy, a pleasure to listen to that makes it so much easier to pay attention.
Thanks Captain :)
I am also working on a novel now, so know how hard fiction can be. Keep at it.
hi Adam,
when you are finished of that novel you will give the name of your novel to your students to read it.
8 out of 10 wow.
i have been first correct 8~!
thank you for awsome lecture.

Thank you ADAM.

Hello Adam!
I have a question!
If I am at a lower place of a city, and I’m going to go to the higher part, can I use ‘head up’ to express this?

Thanks Adam.

Thanks so much Adam for your nice lesson.

One thing that I found it’s hard in learning English is Phrasal verbs. But you made it easy for me to digest this time ; ) Thank you Adam!
thanks Doctor your lessons are great :)
Hi Adam!
Thanks again for your efforts.
You didn’t describe in your video construction “head to” so, it’s a little tricky from you to add question no. 7. It was my only mistake :).
Take care.
Adam, I’m studying Phrasal Verbs and your lessons are helping me a lot. Thank you!
ADAM COULD YOU DO A VIDEO ABOUT COSTUMER SERVICE

What is the difference between ‘head to’ and ‘ head for ‘?
Hi Adam,

Phrasal verbs are confusing for me, but it solves more practice

Thank you.
Dear Alex, the answer to question 7 is “head to”. However, it isn’t included in your explanation. So, I picked the option “head over” because according to the vídeo, it means “go to a place”. Apart from that, the explanation is excellent. Thanks a million.
hello adam…….head off and head for both are still not clear to me….can you make those a bit clear?
Onde more Nice class!

Hello Adam. Thank you for lessons. I have one question about the quiz.
Sentence: During major storms it is a good idea to head _______ a safe place.
Why is “to” preferable, but not “over”?
Great lesson. Thank you.

TY! good lesson, 9 from 10 :)
Adam. Good morning.
I am confused these phrasal verbs between “head over “and “head to”.
I chose the wrong answer in No.7.
Can you please to let me know the difference?
COOL ! ?Thanks teacher !
Hi, Adam! Thank you very much for the lesson! When must we use preposition “to” after “head+” phrasal verbs and when we mustn’t?
Thank you )
Thank you very much, Adam!
thank you very much, Mr Adam, you are the best one
thanks !
Nice test, yet there were not any suggested examples with “head for”
Anyway, Adam, thanks a lot for doing so much for all of us
Keep it up, man!
I did six from ten. May you explain me for expressions in details?
I got 8 out of 10. These lessons about expression are very useful, especially when you read a book or newspaper or some sort of reading in tests. I am greatly appreciated for being a great teacher, Adam.
thank you
Thank you
I got 9 of 10.
I made a mistake in question #7.
Actually, I wanted to answer “head to a safe place” but you did not mention about “head to” in the video. Therefore I have chosen the wrong choice “head over”.
As a result, now I know how to use both of them :))
Thank you so much, Adam. You are a great master!
ı have done the same mistake. So they both have the exact meaning?
these phrasal verbs were not so easy for me… but I’ve been trying…
Good teaching Adam!
Hey Adam.
I’d like to know what it means “hook up”.
to begin a romantic or sexual relationship with someone
Thanks Adam but I guess i need a map before answer one of your answer… ahahah I didnt know where Meksico city is.
Thanks Adam.You are really telling very instructive.
Thank you my best teacher. 9/10 . I like your all lessons
Thank you so much. there are very useful for me.
Thanks!
Hi, very helpful lesson.
I don’t know if there are other verbs/phrasal verbs that mean the same as any of this lesson, if so, I have one question: How you determine which one to use?
Thank you ever so much Mr. Adam.
Thanks, Sir.
What a knockout lesson! Thanks Adam
Thanks Adam.The lesson was really useful.Always look forward to watching your videos.
thanks! very good lesson !
8/10! Up to now, Adam’s lesson always explains the word I usually made a mistake. It’s very useful.
Thanks Adam
Thanks! It really helped me!
Adam in question 7 you say head [to] but in your video you didn’t say head [to] but why we don’t use over ?

thanks for the quiz, i answered all correctly
hello! ı have a quesiton. while doing the test, relaised something. what’s the difference between “head to” and ” head over”? “head over” is to go to a specific place as Adam taught in the video. what about “head to”? are they same?
I think there isn’t any question about head for in quiz
Tanks a lot
