      Sorry if ot, but could you explain why there are some plural noun modifiers when the rule says they have to be used in the singular form?
      Found examples: sports day, special needs child, kids farm.
      Thanks!

    Hi Greg. I've been teaching my students how to use "prefer" and "would rather" in a rather simpler way -they just know how to use "prefer gerund to gerund", "prefer noun to noun" or "would rather bare inf. than bare inf." Then I realized I might have a difficult time myself if things get a bit more advanced. This was really helpful, thanks a lot.

    That's just a great chanell to improve english skills. I've found it accidentally(without taking into consideration a recommendation system from Google 😀)
    I had been struggling with English all my live as the most not natives who needs English(i believe) then I found an English teacher and she has helped me to improve my skills. For the last year I have been working for an internetional company as an IT manager/Software engineer and the langague became a pretty important part of my work) I can speak, I watch movies in Eglish so on so forth. But anyway sometime I do mistakes and I'm still far from being perfect.
    This channel is just a great source for me(hope for many other people also) to improve language skills. It's covers a lot of different topics to fill gaps and that's what I actually need on my level.
    Thank you very much Greg 🙂IMHO you're doing an amazing job
    Btw not sure if it's presented on the chanell. What's the difference between "work" and "job"? 😀

    Oh, this was a really difficult one!
    As a Norwegian, much of the English grammar is quite similar and comes rather naturally to me, but this was something different, which I don't think we see in our language!
    I'm confused 🤪🤣
    I'll be downloading the work sheet today, definitely!

    1.I would have loved to go there.
    2.I would have loved to have gone there.
    3.I had to have gone there.
    4.I have to have gone there.(incorrect sentence,I think)
    Kindly take this question right away.

    I'm not sure at 10:00, "I would prefer you to cook" is right, or at least not how I'd say it. I would say, "I would prefer you cook. I would prefer you do the dishes." Maybe it's an American English difference.

    Hi , Greg .
    I,m new student when i,m not a student but everyday one can learn a new lesson in various aspects of life.
    My question is: Do native_ speaking English know these grammers? Do they practice them correctly ?
    I mean in written English it will be of course important BUT, if one doesn,t speak" it correctly , will people make fun of him/her or it,s just o.k? 😀🌹

    At 0:56, you said "Is there any different between...."
    Of course, you should have said "Is there any DIFFERENCE between...?"
    I would have expected an English teacher, and a native one at that, to have got that right.

    • @BGNewsReporter
      @BGNewsReporter Год назад

      It's just a slip of the tongue. He was probably in two minds between "is there anything different" and "is there any difference". Native speakers of ALL languages do this from time to time. Not a big deal as it wasn't important to the actual grammar point.
