Hello. I'm from Germany. I actually never had issues concerning the english language. But lately I haven't had much oppertunities to use it. That's why I looked up this video, in order to ''refresh'' my skills. You're videos are brilliant and I absolutely love your style of teaching. I'm sure it also helps a lot of people, want to improve their english 'because it may be not enough what school is teaching them in their county.

Now, can anybody tell me if I made any mistakes in this comment!?

[TwoStepsFromHelll]

@VacuumJacket In the sentence "You're videos are brilliant". It shall be "Your videos are brilliant" ;)

[karla52752Karla]

@TwoStepsFromHelll Hello....I was just going to suggest (now that we're all correcting each other :0)) wouldn't it be a good idea to change "shall" to should? Just a suggestion :0)

[karla52752Karla]

@VacuumJacket It is great that you're (you are) looking to improve your English in speaking and writing :0). Per your request on helping you revise, the only thing I would change in your sentence is the apostrophe (‘) in the word because, and in the last sentence I would have said, “…because the English taught in their country may not be enough,” or "because maybe what their school is teaching them, is not enough.”

Very nice and clear.

You are a great teacher. Thank you!

Why do you have to put in a comma in "Do you see that man, running across the road?" There is no pause there.

[MrRicoles]

@vivalaresistanc

Dude you should have looked probably, he didn't put any comma.

[YaSbs2011]

great..

[scg159]

With Gerunds you can remove the "ing" verb and replace it with an infinitive.

eg. "to ski is fun." Most commonly however, we say "it is fun to ski"

Hi very nice information here. I'm just wondering how you could answer a question relating to the point you made on 7 and 8. For example; You can switch the sentences to say the last part first. If a student asks what the difference is and how they know which way round to structure the sentence, how can I answer this question? Would it be down to creative choice or is there a rule that says we structure the sentence a particular way? Thanks!

[Lizster88]

Sorry I meant -ing forms.

[Lizster88]

Thank you! That was very useful (particularly the listing of the usages of the condition) I never thought of it that way.

[wacor777]

I think that 4th example, you ought change but by and, because both ideas are not contrast.

[loretejerina]
