  • is ain't a word?

  • Well, it's a contraction of two words: "be" and "not." However, it isn't considered to be proper English. I don't recommend its use for people learning English as a second language, but you're going to hear it, so you should learn about it. I can't recall if I address the use of "ain't" in this video, but do a search on "ain't" and you'll find a video on YouTube explaining how it's used.

  • great videos, last time i checked you had 327 videos, now you have 328.

    everyday i always visit your youtube page to see if you upload a new video.

    i hope you'll post intensive tutorial about: "has, have, had"..

    i already watched your video about HAS, HAVE, HAD but i'm still confused between:

    " i HAVE HAD think of it" and " i HAD HAD think of it"..

    sorry if my grammar is wrong but my real concern is why there are some sentences having two "HAD? " thanks paul

  • THANKS
