Hello Gill. I think this is first time to leave a comment on your lesson. Pleased to meet you. The expressions you taught are very useful for me because I don’t think I have good ears to catch well what people say. But maybe I will never use those terms to you, because your way of speaking is very understandable and clear. I’m looking forward to your next video. Thank you.

Hello Gill
Thank you for this lesson .
Is it polite to say :” sorry I didn’t get you correctly ”
I have one more question . You wrote sentence begining with ” If someone has ” and you used the pronoun “they” further in the sentence , could you explain the rule for that.
Thank you in advanced

tsamp

To be more precise
Isn’t ” someone ” singular ? Why not using “he” or “she”

tsamp

Thank you Gill, I love your accent!
