    English speakers use the verb "have" as a substitute for eat, just as other languages use the verb "take."
    "What did you have for lunch?"
    "I had pizza."

    As always, an awesome vid Alex! Thanks :)
    I have a few questions:
    1.) Can we omit 'on?'
    It depends (on) how you do it
    2.) Sometimes we use 'take'
    ex:
    I took a break
    I took a class
    I took a rest
    Can we then omit 'break' and say:
    I took lunch at 12:30
    I took my lunch at 12:30
    3.) Number 3
    I use it for go to work
    I use it to go to work
    I use it (in order) to go to work
    I use it for (the purpose of) going to work
    I need glasses (in order) to read.
    I need glasses for (the purpose of) reading.

    @GerdiHono 11 лет назад

    To be fair with number three, you can also use in many cases 'for" in combination with a progressive from/gerund. ie: What doe you use your car for? I use it for going to work". Now as a native English speaker, I can\t 100% say if that is prescriptively "correct" English, but I can say it is 100% used English, by native speakers. I think some confusion stems from this. Now you mentioned using a gerund, but didn't point out this form, so I thought I would just mention. :D

    Oh God! I am sure I have heard people making mistakes like this, but never realized them before I saw this. Just watched this video using my Subcommune App. Saved a few of the important subtitles in my inbox so that I can refer to them later. It will save me from making such silly mistakes in conversation.

      @friedchicken1 10 лет назад +2

      to subscribe you must follow the following steps:
      1) get a blue jacket and a blue pair of pants, wear them every tuesday for 4 weeks
      2) learn corean and open a small business selling seashells to corean businessmen
      3) get a ticket by running a red light (does not matter at what speed) (pay the fine)
      4) click the red button "subscribe" under the video
      5) buy and deploy a parachute while watching family guy in your living room
      if you follow the steps correctly you would be successfully subscribed! :D
