Emma, it’s really an excellent lesson, thanks a lot.
Thanks Emma, this lesson was great..
Thanks for this great lesson Emma.
I have been reading the “power verb resource page” at the first instance and it has been a reading very completed and full of power verbs like to foster, to debug, to streamline, to portray, to bolster, to lobby, to spearhead, to appraise, to fundraise, to retrieve and to draft which are new for me although I had seen some of them sometimes but not many times. It’s a good choice to use them in resumes and interviews but it’s necessary to study them deeply, then to assure you’re using it correctly, as you has explained us. Thanks a lot, teacher Emma, it has been a great lesson to achieve our goals and targets.
Sorry, “… you have explained us…” would be the right word for this present perfect tense.
Got 10/10 it was so powerfull for me, specially the pronunciation. thank you so much.
Great lesson, Emma. Thanks a lot.
Thank you Emma.It’s good lesson.

I mainly teach Aviation and Technical English in Spain but every now and then I have to force students “to think outside the box” and stimulate thinking. Here in Spain students have a lot of problems w/ prepositions… more than LatAm students.
I truly appreciate your hard work.

Thanks a lot. can we use power verbs in IELTS exam? Or try to be simple as possible as we can to avoid mistakes!!! You know during exam there is stress and time very limited.
This information is very useful https://www.engvid.com/english-resource/power-verbs-in-english/
Why can’t print it?
Thanks a lot Emma for this lesson. I have been watching your videos on Youtube for a while.I have a question: You said that if the job is current we can use the verb in Present tense, but you used “handles”. Should we use it that way or it was a mistake? I normally write ‘handle” but now I am confused…
Thanks!
