Do you manage people at work? Are you a parent or a teacher? In this lesson, I’ll use real English from a movie to explain vocabulary you can use to talk about supervising people or kids. It’s important to know many words to talk about the things we do often, so we’re not always repeating the same boring words! Learn eight words and expressions you can start using immediately. I’ll explain control, ascertain“, monitor, check, and more.
i really enjoyed learning English and i hope i would improve more better

first of all, i would like to thank you Mr.Benjamin.(y)
second, ihave several questions please:
1) how many lessons left to finish this course in EngVid? because we reached to 1211 lessons until now !!!?
2) can EngVid create “Exercise book” and “student book” for all lessons ? to be our reference for us in the future.

Thank you Teacher Benjamin for your great lesson. I got 10 out of 10. May “Keep an eye on” mean only monitor something or someone and too keep seeing something or someone.
Good week-end. Best regards. Marie-Claude

Excellent lesson,Benjamim. Got 10/10.Again, your
accent is another lesson. I usually watch your lessons
twice or more. Eyes closed to practice my listening.
I had never heard the word “ascertain”. It’s a
beautiful sound. Thanks again.

Hallo Benjamin,
how formal/informal are all the expressions ?
I think, the expression ” to keep a tab on sb ”
must be very informal and I can´t use it in the formal essay.
On the contrary, ” to ascertain” ist really very formal an I it can not be used in a informal e-mail.
I am right ?
Thank you for your answer.

Short but intensive video class, we can enjoy your explanation and learn new words and expressions that we don’t use normally or maybe we don’t listen to them repeatedly in our daily jobs. Thanks a lot, teacher Benjamin, a very interesting and useful class.

Hello Benjiman,
I have a question that I am confused. Can I say it in “I’ve got my eyes on you.”? Is it possible to put a “s” after “eye”?
Thank you for the lesson, it is useful for me.

Hello Mr Benjamin! How do you do!
Many thanks for the lesson! I watched the film “Meet the parents” and can again to feel an atmosphere of the movie. By the way, it was a comedy, and am thinking we haven’t to fear these ugly words. When I have taking quiz, some new ideas came to my mind. I need to some one who will be monitored me, and do other unpopular job, as to supervise my English study, to ascertain my time wasting.
I don’t sure, maybe I am so anarchist. Someone would keep your eye on me. So, I want to say: I will not to be under control, oversee and “a close check”.
I hope to find more optimistic video on engVid!
P.S. I am terribly sorry, if I wrote something uncorrect.

Hello and thanks for your lesson. I am so sorry but I can’t understand the meaning for ascertain, or i am confused about a certain Vs ascertain. Could any one explaint to me? Thanks in Advance.
calvito
the difference between the both word is very simple, certain is the adjective and ascertain is his verb (make sure of). I’ll give an example:
* i ascertain you that i didn’t talk with him since one month.
*If you want a certain party to win, it is better that you persuade many others to vote for them than vote yourself.
now,i hope that you understood the difference, and you will be able use them in your English communication.
