  • Do you say, "Tim Tebow can't throw THE football" or Tim Tebow can't throw A football?"

  • @DwyaneWadeCounty -- In this case, both are okay. That would be a good question to post for a video about articles.

  • Is this correct?

    "When they got there, police discovered that the man IS dead."

    Shouldn't "IS" be "was?"

  • @DwyaneWadeCounty -- Yes, it should be "was." 

  • Your videos are always welcome but I think most of the ESL users would agree with me if I said we could use some vocabulary lessons, advanced grammar, typical American pronunciation, etc unless your channel is about learning basic English.

  • @MasterBott01 - Thanks for your feedback. I am most concerned with providing instruction to beginning and intermediate-level learners of English; however, if you go to my website, the American Speech section includes pages for idioms, slang, and expressions popular in the United States. I'll work on some new pronunciation videos. If there's anything in particular you need help with, just email me and I'll add it to my list. Paul

  • @learnamericanenglish Thanks.

    Can you tell me why do some news websites have the names of categories in plural forms while others have them in singular forms? Example: Some will have movies, celebrities, opinions, etc, while others will have movie, celebrity, opinion, etc.

    It's confusing.

  • Why are you Just like Einstein ??

  • Thank you very much teacher .
