[TheTachelhit]

hello stive, i really enjoy your videos you are doing a very interessting job, thank you so much.

I have a doubt: you ve said in this video that we use the preposition (for) in this example (i sent this for you) to say that you send it for one's behalf.

can we use the preposition (to) for the same meaning? in this example: (i write this poem to you).

i will be more than happy to recieve an answer from you

[HebaAlaaEldin]

Wow! i found them so easy ,but i can 't differentiate between "under"&" below",but i notice from Mr owl that below it means something that is further than the surface , right??

there is some thing else that i always make a mistake while some one asks me where do live ??i told them I live near to the subway, but u told us it so wrong ,we have to say i live near the subway.

Really fantastic video,thanks

I think everyone has a bit of a tough time with prepositions...

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Salut sofiane18ans!

Merçi bien!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hey Guys! Thanks so much for the comments! I must do another video on prepositions some time!

[lewn5]

yes! I agree with sunshinealley! This is a great video on this topic! Excellent! Thanks!

[sunshinealley]

very good topic....prepositions are very tough for many people....even if they are advanced in knowledge

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

good question. The grammatically correct answer is 'it'. However, many pet owners use 'he' and 'she'.

Regards,

Steve

[melvintbaclay]

hello...just wanna know the explanation in using 'he' or 'she' for an animal...thanks...

Hey Tazeenhasan,

I will definately try to make some videos which are beginner. I am happy to know that you are making use of my videos in your teaching.

Take care!

Steve

[tazeenhasan]

I am teaching my kids via ur video. Can u prepare action words like surfing, driving, drinking for beginners????

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

In response to your question, for sure the more advanced learners need to learn prepositions by using them in day to day conversation.

You will want to use 'on your behalf' e.g.

I sent the letter on your behalf or

I sent the letter for you.

Please also be aware that prepositions can vary from American to British English eg.:

on the weekend vs at the weekend

Bye for now and say hello to all my friends in Brazil!

Steve

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hello! Hello! Hello! Manjow2!

First of all thank you for your appreciation.

I am happy to hear that you have mastered prepositions of location with regard to directions.

"But what about we're not talking about directions, is it one of that things you have to know by heart and you learn little by little?"

cont'd

[ManoJow2]

hey there, nice video, thanks!

When we're talking about prepositions of direction it's easier to remember because there's like a rule...

But what about we're not talking about directions, is it one of that things you have to know by heart and you learn little by little?

e.g. "On your behalf", and not "In your behalf."

Again, thanks for the video.

Best regards,

ManoJow

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Since you liked the video on prepositions so much, I will definately be doing another one!!!!!!!

Steve

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Thanks for the comments guys!!!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hey ShrikrishnaDagliya,

What do you mean ?

Here are the examples:

I will send it 'to' you.

I will send it 'for' you.

[ShrikrishnaDagliya]

hi,

there is a mistake in the end of the video concerning the examples of "to" and "for".

by the way nice video.

[ainamelas]

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

You can the example of over in the bonus question Quiz at the end of the video.

Hope this helps!

Steve

[joemark]

Awesome!! That's great I discovery this video and i learnt very much...

Thanks...

Succes

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Thanks for the comments Joey! I am happy to know that I was able to help you learn!!!!

Steve

[geekpetit]

I used to say "near to my house", I did not it was incorrect. Thanks Steve = )

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

I knew that this was a big problem for many people! I am so glad to get your feedback and know that this is helping you. It was a lot of work. A labor of love!

[geekpetit]

All your videos are very helpful, thanks again, btw I'm a new member on peppy club, my nickname is belen.

[fernandocguedes]

Great video... thanks!

I wonder where it was made... great place!

What software and cam do you use? I want to make some home videos and yours have great quality.

By the way, on the video description you wrote "soltaque", but the word is "sotaque" without the "L".

Bye!

[hoax2005]

Thanks!! Great explanation!

[kalleu00]

Thanks Steve!!

Fantastic video...

Bye

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Thanks Kalleu!!!!!

[teddythefrency]

I think the same, very clear and very useful.

Thank you very much!

I think it will be excellent for my children who are at the High School.

I have a question too about nearby, is the sentence , "My village is nearby Bordeaux" (in French "à côte de" , "proche de"...)correct?

Thanks a lot

Ted

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Nearby would require no noun after it. My village is nearby! You could say 'proche de' as 'close to' and 'a côte de'as 'next to'.

Hope this helps!

Steve

[JLRVPUMA]

Great video!

very useful...

Thank you!
