Hi James,
Could you make together with Mr. E a movie with the subject:
alot
a lot
It will stop this discussion.
Everyone should read this blog post — it should help you remember which is which :D
Thank you James for exciting and instructive lesson, it will help me further to use English more correctly and this website is excellent, thanks all of you for that.
I got 9 of 10, not so bad, bud I think that these things need understand more logical because so and too can use in one place simultaneously.
I think so too! :)
Very good
It was so sweet
thank you I got 10of10 because of your help
thanks

Hello James!
James usually speaks to fast… :) haha!
I got used to understanding James! Cool!
…too fast…
but i don’t understand because of speaking too fast :( this is the first quiz i didn’t got the full mark.
so sad :( :(
Oh, You are too kind making such great lessons James!
I love you too!

Please
100% accuracy, it’s just too easy for me :-D
Great!, thanks
Mr Teacher, your lessons are always SO stimulating that I follow them as often as I can. Thanks a lot :)
Useful lesson no more mistakes. ´too´ and ´so´ here we go! Tanks mr. James.
I will never forget the difference between “So” an “Too”. But when we use “So that” ? and when just SO.. Thank you james you’re great.. I liked your Britain Jacket .. Where did you bought it?
Is there a video on Absolute (Nominative and Participial) constructions? I would like to understand them better.
James your learning style is so helpful, keep it going.
This was such a great video. Love it!
hey dude, thank you so much
thanks a lot James…your lessons are sooo helpful
by the way, the answer is 10th of question it could be ‘so,so’ too. Am I wrong? actually, yes the meaning is negative but to emphasise we could use ‘so’ too this question. I hope so, I’ve told correctly; otherwise sorry about that:))
I think I love you guy.. :) thanx a lot!
I made it on the quiz despite you speak too quickly. so my listning skill is improved thanks to your website and my motivation to learn english too.
(sorry about my english XD,I am too beginner :(.)
Very good lesson! You are so funny and make it appear easy!
I James
I liked this lesson SO MUCH.
See you next time
James, you speak so fast, and I like it!
I like your way of speaking as much as the content of your lessons. In this page, in general, I can listen to real English (not read dialogs). I remember when I began to watching this page, almost one year ago. I couldn’t understand almost nothing you said, and now I listen to you and I find it so easy. I always try to translate to Spanish your lessons. I understand you, I get the idea, but then I realise I couldn’t understand some of the words or expression you said. It’s a good exercise for me. Movies are beyond my level, “classic” lessons are no problem for me, and you help me a lot to improve my listening and my comprehesion.
Thanks a lot!
it is great viedo. it benfits me so i thank u.
In a first time, i had see it again! because the teacher speaks too fast! but, really excelent! great job teacher. i wanna learn speak fast too! LOL
Thanks u so much
Is true… you talk fast. But, no problem! Thanks a lot!

Hi James,
I was very impressed by your sadness and your words about “poppies”. I think you had troubles because of your last lesson.
Sometime we forget that NET is a great window where all kind of people can read and listen to what there is in, even children or people very weak.
Anyway, don’t give up, you are a great teacher.
i love you god bless you james

Teacher,
I think “so” in that expression:
– “Do you think the weather is gonna be better tomorrow?
– I hope “so”.
IS possible, isn’t it?
Thanks teacher…. it was a good lesson, but are you fast or too fast?
Hello, James. First of all, I’d like to thank you for your explanation, it made things clearer for me. But something isn’t going so well with next question in the quiz. I can’t understand why the answer is ‘it’s too hot, so i will eat it later’ when in the video commented ‘too hot’ would give the idea of something you can’t ever eat. What am I doing wrong? :P
Thanksin advance c:
hey james,

many thanks teacher.

Hi James,
I really love your lessons,sometimes the website doesn’t work very well = stop talking, stop moving, so no sounds, no lessons. it arrives frequently on my computer (mac), I don’t know why and it’s a pity because I ‘d like to learn more about “Too and So”. I’ll try again, may be there are too many students looking at your nice lessons
thank you so much ;)
Thank You James! Very helpful!)
Thank you James for exciting and instructive lesson, it will help me further to use English more correctly and this website is excellent, thanks all of you for that.

Hello! I want to ask you.
1. The soup was so hot, I had to leave it and eat it an hour later.
2. The soup is too hot, so I will have it later.
If the first case had there (that) I would understand why “so” , but without that it doesn’t make a sense to me. Could you please explain it why? Thanks so much!
thanks a lot James!….. also thanks to the worm called Mr.e hahahaha
Thanks James ;)
plz i want more videos for advance students
Thank you so muchhhh.
you are a great teacher I so happy how you’r teaching English.
Hi James,
Thanks a lot for all your lessons!! I really like the way you teach: never get bored and it stays in your mind straight away. Well, I have some questions and I am not sure there are lessons on such a topic. First of all, could you please tell me if there are ANY exceptions using an article THE with plural nouns, particularly when you want to say: ‘the friends’, ‘the parentals’ or anything else. Also could you please give a lesson on ‘someone vs somebody’, ‘anyone vs anybody’. Is there any difference between someone vs anyone etc I would really appreciate if you could share as much as possible on this topic.
Thanks a lot!!
Ellie

Thanks I got 70
8/10…my god
It is very interesting lecture so I share it on my page in Google plus.
90 :D
Hi James!
You may probably speak so fast but it finds me very challenging. Watching and studying your lessons often have really enabled me to watch movies without subtitle. As I remember well, it was your lesson that it is not necessary to understand each word what the speaker is saying but the whole thought that he/she may want to express. I can’t thank you enough for the effort you have exerted just to make this lesson crystal clear to us.
Hi,this is so amazing helpful video! Thanks a lot. I have a question: Last question in quiz: The soup is too hot, so I´ll have it later. why is “too” in the first part? “So” is in the video in the example sentence with this meaning. Thank you with help :-)
Hi!!!! Your course was really god, I have some doubts, so I need your help to understand. For example in this statement.
It takes —– time to receive the products from them that customers have stopped placing orders.
with your course I going to use “Too much” because I understand It’s excessive but the correct answer is ‘So much’.
Why?
you are great…
Thank you James ^^ This website Is really helpful to improve my English :))
I got 8 out of 10 thanks.
there is my skype: Аманбаев Ержан
if you would like some practise please….
I got 10 out of 10. it was really helpful for me.
I have to learn / know difference b/w “me too & so” looking forward your reply.
Thanks james it was so useful
thanks jams
I don’t understand why I can’t do my quiz! please can you helping me?
hello! i have a question that in this video u said:” the soup was so hot, i will wait… but when we use too hot we never eat it” but in quiz question number 10, the answer is: too, so!! i don’t understand! ths for explanation!!
thank u so much James though your fast but its very helpful!
I think your explanation was so clear and helpful.
I have noticed that question number 10 has contradiction with your lecture because you said too hot soap that mean impossible , but the quiz let the soap eaten with too.
Regards
Thank you James for the incredible and useful lesson!
hi , since I’ve been visiting your website I learned a lot , your website is the best , I really appreciate it
hey, i did all of them correct ! what a great score for me!

I loved that lesson, so i will watch another video from James, with another person too.
Thank you James..you are real teacher..

Ghanés a lot
Sorry, thanks a lot
could we use very instead of very, for example, The coffee is (very/too) hot please explain
sorry I typed wrongly could we use very instead of too this is my doubt
Amazing English course thank you James.

i think so
Thank you very much James…for this lesson

Thank you so much James! you make it so easy to learn :)
How there are so many posts or comments and I think it’s too much to read for a simple mind like me, then I am going to be breve writing these words and no fed up the teacher and the others. It has been a good party lesson as always and I have enjoyed very much listening to our teacher again. It’s a fantastic method to improve our skills, thank a lot, teacher James, I am following your advice and they are really useful.
What a teacher ! You’re great !!!

hi Jame.
I confused with the question 10.
why I can’t say the soup is so hot, I’ll have it later???
So nice your your english lesson
Thank you James and you too Mister E
Why is so the right answer in question # 6?
Hello Jackmaster,
how is it going?
Answering your question.
She runs ___ fast that it is hard see her.
If it would be too. It could mean that it is impossible to see her.
Bacause she is still visible, hard but still.
We use “so”.
I hope that you will get it.
I wish you all the best in learning English.
Take care. Bye ;)
I love your comedies too, Mr. James.
It helps to understand you.
:)
Great, I got 100!, thanks James
thanks!
I’ve got mistakes in ex. 9 and 10. Still can’t understand why it’s wrong to use “It was too kind of you” in ex 9, in video James said that we can use “too” in positive when someone is “too nice”, “too kind”. The same problem in ex 10, at the end of the video James gave an example “The soup was so hot, i had to leave it…” but here the right answer is only “too”. help me to understand this please
