[newtaekwon]

I AM LUCKY, THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME WHILE WATCHING YOU

[khloud6]

[rey06y]

I think both irony and coincidence are in this case, the one as well as the other.

and beside the point Misterduncan you show great diligence in your job.

god bless you.

at 3:21 ..actually coincidence of mine has still been more stranger than this LOL

I went to library (i didn't go there for many months). then I met a friend in there (she go there very a few times). I told her i'll go in london but i need improve my grammar&spoken knoledge, so she got me info about these nice lessons :)

[nguoibanhangvidai]

What a lucky coincidence!

ta-ta very much, Misterduncan :-)

[nguoibanhangvidai]

your ways of teaching English always make me so funny ^^

a big thanks from VIETNAM @@

[Marwazoology]

what a lucky coincidence!

[zurdojunior]

your lessons are most interesting than my classes that the school, at the school just learn more about grammar. I hope you can help me about add more vocabulary, and learn more words and colloquial expression in English. Thanks for makes this videos

[adorebeauty0]

You're fantastic teacher.....Please explain what sarcasm is?

[callycap3]

Your child being born on your father's death is just a coincidence, not ironic.

[duncaninchina]

@callycap3 Actually it is! read more!

[stanzaverse]

@callycap3 Yes it is irony. You would associate a date where your father died as a sorrowful anniversary, and yet the most joyous moment of your life takes place.

[duncaninchina]

@stanzaverse Yes someone gets it! Thank you!

[sokhara0]

You are a good teacher.I 'm so happy to learn englis from you and thank so much.

[2008bata]

why did u said "the Fathers' death". How many fathers do u have?

[zero9112]

I find that Americans lack understanding of ironic humour and are often fed the line "just kidding" to establish the statement as a joke.

[Entdecker20]

[IronyIsGood]

i like irony.... guess why.

[karoladana]

because you are saying it ironically!

[IronyIsGood]

i judge things based on how i feel at the moment i discover them, when i discover irony it always makes me feel a little happy because it makes the world seem like there is an order to the way it operates. but your answer is good too.

[karoladana]

true that. happy for you. i love irony too

[disrespectfultroll]

Those were excellent examples of irony. Thank you for sharing dis great video!

[michelesiddi]

Muy bien,,, prof....

[Gughi28]

ISN'T IT IRONIC? ...it remember me the song Ironic (Alanis Morissette), I like it so much!!

...

"A traffic jam when you're already late

A no-smoking side on your cigarette break

It's like ten thousand spoons

when all you need is a knife

It's like meeting the man of my dreams

then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic, don't you think?"

Thank you for your english lessons, Mr Duncan!!

[duncaninchina]

'It reminds me of a song called "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette.'

(Misterduncan)

[Gughi28]

thank you for the correction, my English is really awful!

[duncaninchina]

No it is not.

It just needs a little polishing 8-))

(Misterduncan)

[isotonic436]

[kinga008]

Hello Misterduncan, would you be so kind to look at phrasal vers and prepositions in a later lesson. I'm so confused when I am using them. Honestly, I cannot, because there are no rules for them. Thank you vary much.

[Habibelalb87]

hi kinga! are you kinga from Hungary??? Please tell me yes...I´m Teddy, do you remember me? lol

[carlt1homas]

thanks

[carlt1homas]

Okay... so, why do U say "a coincidence" and not "a coincident"?

[duncaninchina]

"Coincidence" is the most commonly used term and is the correct Noun, thus being the reason for my use of it. "Coincident" is the Adjective and "Coincidentally" is the Adverb. (Misterduncan)

[carlt1homas]

isn't there a difference between using "coincidence" and "coincident"?

[duncaninchina]

Coincident means "At the same time". We can also say "Coincidently" which means another similar thing occuring at the same time or relating to another event. (Misterduncan)

[carlt1homas]

Okay... so, why do U call it "a coincidence" and not "a coincident"?

[salvador199]

Coincident is a noun. Coincidence is an adjetive

[duncaninchina]

(From The Oxford English Dictionary) Coincidence-(noun) A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances, without apparent causal connection.— DERIVATIVES- coincident (adjective) coincidental (adjective) coincidentally (adverb)...(Misterduncan)

[salvador199]

at 2:32 you say 'aɪðəʳ, I had only heard this one pronunce as 'ɪ:ðəʳ. when I should say either 'aɪðəʳ or 'ɪ:ðəʳ] ..

[duncaninchina]

This is a good question...It is a similar situation with the word "neither".The phonetic sound can be either 'naɪðəʳ or 'nɪ:ðə. A good example of accent controlling the intonation. I will be looking at Phonetics in a later lesson.

[Bergenpferd]

nice one. thank you.

[aryulo]

Wonderful

[pinkzhuttz]

yes what a lucky coincidence! this is exactly what i am looking for my lesson in my english subject!!! lol

[Sherebenok7]

yay! great) and it is a lucky coincidence for me - to find these videos!
