@06:57 How something affects you, not "effects you". But you could say "the effect of something on you". "Effect" as a verb means to cause to happen. At least in British English.
In the following 2 sentences 1)'what had you done that you are talking like that' and 2)' what had you done that you were talking like that' which one is similar to 'what had you done to be talking like that'
In my humble opinion these nuances are directly linked to language usage, nevertheless, it's highly convenient to be aware of their differences or similarities. Thanks a lot. ❤
Most of them, but absolutely I have learned new things especially the confusing ones that your clarification made them easier to use confidently. Teacher Wes, thank you so much indeed!
Thank you so much for this great lesson! It would be wonderful if you could share more lessons on difficult grammar aspects and sentence structures! Personally, I think that this kind of lessons is a very useful as well as important way to practice English and put one’s knowledge to the test. Another highly effective exercise is to spot the mistakes in a given sentence. I would honestly be grateful if you prepared more videos on these two points! One question: would it be completely wrong to use i.e. instead of e.g. in the example sentence you gave here? If someone asked me what I was going to buy at the supermarket, I would probably specify the type of fruit (or whatever kind of food) I am referring to. I would appreciate your help! Thank you once again for this practical “quiz”! Best regards, Anna PS: This time I would gladly give you a hundred likes 👍 👍 👍 😊😊😊
Dear teacher I have a question here in your video you just said A would be the correct answer. but what do you mean by that? as far as I know would is used in reporting simple future tense, past habit like (used to), hypothetical situation. when you say A would be the best answer what do you imply? thanks a lot
Dear Wes, so helpful as usual. For me this was very valuable :) I think, though, that you have a mistake here: On your for me/ to me table - "how something effects you". Shouldn't it be AFFECT you?
Glad you enjoyed the lesson and found it useful. I hope you learned something new. I really appreciate your support. It helps make all this possible. ❤️
I did well: eleven out of twelve. "Emma rummaged through his clothes (hopeless to find anything controversial there)." Thank you very much! Keep up the great work!
Hi, thank you for this video. I have just one question. You said we use that, which with animals but at that time you use "the dog, wh (whom)". Why can we use who with a pet in this sentence?
There is a grammar rule that says that you must not split an infinitive. 'To boldly go" does just that; therefore it is technically incorrect. However It is much more poetic. Poetic license is a wonderful thing. Remember Winston Churchill's making fun of correct grammar with the sentence "This is one of those things up with which I cannot put".
Yeah, I'm familiar with the quote. 😊 But to be honest, I don't think there's consensus as to it being grammatically incorrect. And that's one thing I appreciate about the English language. It's not controlled by a governing body like other languages such as French. If you're interested, here's a good post on Grammarly. www.grammarly.com/blog/split-infinitives/ 👍
In this case, you can follow it with either a gerund or a noun. Previously, I should have been more specific. I may have been comparing gerunds vs infinitives and 'in spite of' is going to be followed by a gerund. Sorry for the confusion. 👍
I had been hospitalized since Friday and I just got back home. Honestly, I forgot to watch your stream live because I had too much on my mind. Now I took the time... and I made a mistake - to go boldly was my choice but after your explanation, I felt right away those sentences are correct with spitting. Thank you!
Thanks for checking out the lesson. To be honest, the other response is also correct. Depending on the context, it may sound awkward if you don't split the infinitive and other cases it may sound more awkward when you split it. The language is a bit crazy in that way. 🤪
Sometimes I do not understand why people who are learning English write comments using words such as: nevertheless, although, even though, despite, however, and in spite of. Please, guys, keep it simple and write more softly. You will see how your English will improve. Do not focus only on these heavy conjunctions; instead, focus on easy words, and you will see how much better and more understandable your phrases will be.
The will you read this story blank “for me” and “to me” really baffled me. Their definitions sound a whole lot similar with the me. Can you read the story to me sounds like forcing someone to comply to your commands and like what is said; I believe when you say can you read the story for me; you are enjoying the beneficial assistance and companionship of the person who is reading for the fun of it to you and you could also teach the person to read along with you to get a sense of the vocabulary and evidential analysis from the genre of your choice. “For me” and “To me” are the same as saying I want you to read to me. The only difference is that when you are saying to me; you are requesting permission for the person’s time to hang out/bond and banter with you. While, when you are saying for me; it sounds like it is coming through command or dutiful force. How do I know the part of speech behind the word? Is there a word in there that would the part of speech for “to me” and “for me”?
Yeah. I can’t really tell from the parts of speech in the video because is “for” and “to” a noun, a verb,; adjective, adverb; phrase or preposition? There are many things that these words mean. In my opinion “me” in both cases is an adjective because it is describing the part of a sentence referring to the noun, verb, adjective; or adverb equivalent to definition of the different word categories.
Yeah, I thought the same afterward. I could have spent more time talking about that. Nevertheless, here's a great explanation from Grammarly. www.grammarly.com/blog/know-your-latin-i-e-vs-e-g/ 👍
I think if I find that voice soothing I can say "for me" while I mean it pleases me and I want you to read that to the audience instead of being read by me with that voice may be less soothing
I didn’t starting early learning English Runner nearly age I didn’t study learning English from nearly age I didn’t started learning English from an early age
You are born to be a teacher. God bless you and your family Mr Wes. much love from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the lesson & found it useful. 🤗
Totally agree!
@06:57 How something affects you, not "effects you". But you could say "the effect of something on you". "Effect" as a verb means to cause to happen. At least in British English.
That was a typo. Thanks for heads up. I appreciate your comment. 👍

Must is used for compulsion,if not most likely be penalized
Dear Wes, so helpful as usual. For me this was very valuable :)
I think, though, that you have a mistake here:
On your for me/ to me table - "how something effects you". Shouldn't it be AFFECT you?
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. And you may be right and found a typo. If it's used as a verb, it should be AFFECT. 👍
@@InteractiveEng Oh great, thank you.
Hi Wes, I wouldn't say 'it *effects* you personally', but rather,' it *affects* you personally'. Am I right?
Yes, you're correct. There may be a typo. I'll have to check. 👍

It’s too bad that I missed such an informative live lesson 😢. Thanks Wes
No worries! I'll be back soon with another lesson. Have a great weekend. 😊
Been to: depends on situation. Telling the boss that your daughter will be back to work tomorrow.
In one of your previous videos, you said that a gerund should come after in spite of. So why did we choose both options in the quiz?
In this case, you can follow it with either a gerund or a noun. Previously, I should have been more specific. I may have been comparing gerunds vs infinitives and 'in spite of' is going to be followed by a gerund. Sorry for the confusion. 👍
for me: possible too, when instead of me is ment.I have a crow‘s voice😊

So if the story makes me relaxed and benefits me in that sense, I could ask you to read that story for me?

Yeah. I can’t really tell from the parts of speech in the video because is “for” and “to” a noun, a verb,; adjective, adverb; phrase or preposition? There are many things that these words mean.

Since a dog is an animal, the subject should be it. Therefore, the correct form should be that not who.
