Thank u rebecca
Thank you rebecca. I got 100 for the test
I got 09/10. ☺ rebecca if we say “i won’t” so why don’t we say “i am “in contracted form ?
TI understand your logic, Anne, but this form is not used by itself. We cannot say “I’m” by itself.
We need to say “I am” or, if it’s negative, “I’m not”.
Hope this helps! All the best!
Excellent review of Yes/No questions and short answers.
Looking forward to your next video Rebecca.
Thanks a lot.
☺
yes! mam i got 10/10. thank a lot mam i really like ur teaching style mam love
u…….mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmuaahhhhhhhh
Am i saying this right, in speaking we do use contractions while in writing we don’t ?
We use contractions in formal and informal speaking.
We can also use contractions in informal writing.
However, we should avoid contractions in formal business writing or academic writing.
Good question, Anne!
I got it, rebacca. You are the best teacher of mine. I’m so blessed to have you, who helps me and make me more knowledgeable. Thank you so much.
Nice to see you again, Rebecca.
Undoubtedly, it’s never a worthless effort insisting on short and basic formulas.
Thanks for this video, see you soon!
Yaayyy!!! I Have got 10 out of 10 :) Thank you Rebecca :)
I got 7/10?
Hi! It`s my first time here. I`d like to watch a video about all tenses. By the way I love your web.
Great vídeo.
Hi Rebecca, useful video, wonderful woman, awesome Teacher.
Longing for your next lesson, thanks for your kindness and availabilty with us.
By for now.
Thanks, tiger888. So glad you’re enjoying the lessons. Take care, my friend.
10/10 Thank you so much, ma’am :)
Thanks Rebecca.^^
Thanks Rebecca. It is very useful this lesson.
4. Are you the manager?
Yes, I’m manager.
I choosed number A but it’s not correct :((
please tell me why ?
Lee: maybe I can help you!.The correct answer is “Yes, I am.” This class is to practice the short answer with the verb to be.
Formule: Yes/not + Pronom personel + verb to be ( afirmative /negative form).
You can not say I am manager. You have say I am manager
yeahhh 100/100. I got it
Thank you so much Rebecca!!
thank you Rebecca:)
Thank you Rebecca. It is a simple lesson.
Yes, I’m glad it was easy for you. That means you are at a higher level! However, many English learners at all levels sometimes make basic mistakes so reviews are always helpful. When the right words flow automatically, that’s a great achievement in a foreign language! All the best to you, Abdulateef.
Hi
In your answer, you used “Yes, I’m glad” why not Yes, I am glad?
wooow thank you very much.. I found to so easy .. and you helped me to improve my English skill.. I really appreciate you effort and your kind way in teaching Rebecca .. I wish if I can know what is my English level ..
BTW you’re great !
yes you are right Riore.
” Are you hungry? ”
Yes, I am.
All the time. kkkkk
:-) Thanks and all the best, Marcos!

Hello Rebbeca, thank you for your amazing lessons. Could you please have a lesson about women diseases? How to talk about women problems and pains when we visit a doctor. For example problems about uterus, period, and so on. Thank you in advance
That’s a really good idea. I’ve added it to the list of lesson requests – if Rebecca doesn’t have time to do it, perhaps another teacher will!
Thank you for your attention. Can’t wait for this.
Hey yes you are right most women face problem’s they get puzzle how to talk about these problem’s in public place. Good question Sayalian.

Hi Rebecca itvwas more easy thank you.
thank you so much teacher rebecca
Thank you very much, Rebecca. You are a great teacher. I learn a lot with you.
I love to watch your video lessons, and also try to imitate your teaching method in my academic presentations.
It was a very good lesson which helped me to get rid from a small problem of answering regular questions in an unappropriate way that does reveal weakness of command over English language while speaking to someone. Really appreciated.
So glad you found the lesson helpful, Samiullah3845. I wish you all the best with your study and enjoyment of English language and literature. My best wishes to you.
thank you very much , teacher

Thanks Rabbica
Rebecca, You are one of the best teachers on the website, but I acquire about the question in the quiz
“Were you in class today?”
could I use were with today?
thanks in advance
Thank you Rebbecca
Hi, is “Will you be going to the party on Saturday?” correct? because I don’t think it is. but if it’s correct, can you explain to me how? Thanks. Btw, I love your videos.
That’s a good question! In case a teacher doesn’t explain, it is correct. There are a few other ways you could say it, and they can mean slightly different things.
“Will you be going” and “are you going” are pretty much the same.
“Will you go” can mean the same thing, but it can also be a request – another way to say “Please go”. For example, “Svetlana really wants a lot of people to come to her party. Will you go?” (“Would you go” is similar, but more polite, not as strong.)
I hope this helps!
Hi Rebecca Thank you for the class it helps me a lot (did I say right helps me or help me a lot)
Thank you so much!!
