A good video wiith helpful advice. I have one question in regards to the rule in using the full term before being allowed to use acronyms. At some point is it required to write out the full term when a book or magazine article is exceptionally large. Like for example, I would think that a book dealing with JFK or the CIA would warrant more than their formal introductions to justify writing out the full term of their name. If I'm writing a book about John F. Kennedy, I know that I'm going to be using his full name more than once. At some point, it's easy to lose track of the formalized version of a person or group's name if we're dealing with large books, for example.

@@LearnAcademicEnglish are these correct ???

@@LearnAcademicEnglish thank you for checking my comment may god bless you and your family , always be happy and keep smiling .
Love and best wishes from for student.
Ibrahim
😙😘
@@IBRAHIM_ORTON Yes, these are all correct. We use simple past for something that happened and was finished in the past. As I told you before, we use past perfect only when we have two or more things in the past and need to show which one came first.
@@LearnAcademicEnglish so my dearest teacher if I use past simple only and not past perfect cuz I could use past perfect with past simple + before .like
I didn't go cuz I had seen it .
Or
I didn't go cuz I saw it before
The reasons behind to use only past simple are.....
1. We could use past simple to show one event happened and finished .
2. To show events happened in sequence.
3. To use it like past perfect ...
Like
I did it cuz I had seen it .
Or
I did it cuz I saw it before .
Or
I did it cuz I saw it already .
4. And we could also use past simple for showing one event happened a long time ago .
Like
I did it 3 million ago .
I completed it already .
I saw it much earlier .
Am I correct there???
Best wishes from one of your student
Ibrahim
Love you so much 💗💗😘.It checks fastly🤣
Glad you liked it!

Please, professor Jenna, I need to know more about types of essays as well as expressions used in both formal and informal for high school.
Are there videos of yours about that?
I don't really have videos about types of essays (although I'm planning some soon). Some of these might help:
ruclips.net/user/shortswcpxmHvgiLg?feature=share
ruclips.net/video/WA7XCUzUFoA/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/fdBFx1iwLTg/видео.html
and of course my Writing Playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLTaPDxv5nudk2w9s_xU4zrbQ3NJuiaMh3
Thank you for help.
I hope you will make some videos about that. I know for sure they will be great!
What is abbreviations mean about? And can i got me know all mark in english
Abbreviations are short forms of words that we use in texts and when we are taking notes. Here are some examples:
ppl = people, u = you, vocab = vocabulary, prof = professor
Do not use second person, always use first person.
Good one! Using “you” in an essay is definitely something to avoid.
