Thank you very much dear teacher for this video, it was very helpful. I have a question concerning the two words "ever" and "never". Can we use them interchangeably as you did in your examples? ( "I've heard of Lizzo, but I don't think I've ever heard one of her songs" and "I've never heard of..." ) if yes please when can we do that?
Great question, I think you can't use Never if you have already used a negation. "I don't think I've ever heard of' if you use Never you are invalidating the previous negation. That is what I think, I'm a english learner.
You can use “never” as you’ve done in your example. For “ever” in statements where it can be replaced with “never” with a change in meaning, it’s quite common when there is a negative embedding phrase before it. Here is what I mean: I don’t know… I don’t think… I’m not sure… It isn’t known if… I’d like to know if… I have no idea… “I have no idea if he’s ever been there.” (“He has never been there” has a difference in meaning here, as I’m sure you can see!) “I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.” (“I’ve never seen it before” has a different meaning here too…it’s a definitive statement and not an “I don’t know…”) I hope this helps! You can play with the structures but the meaning will be different.
@@engvidAlexhello gd morning sir. I do research in grammar. I have a question. Tom likes reading the book. Passive.1 Tom likes being read the book. 2. The book is liked being read by Tom. Actually being is used for passive of ing forms. Which one is correct. Most of grammar books do not talk of this. Eg. Raymond murphy. Michel mcarthy. Only martin hewings or michel swan talked about this structure. Reply
It's just dawned on me that in Eastern Slavic languages hear of - means знати про щось, знати про існування чогось hear about - бути в курсі, знати про подію
A- Did you hear of Mr Alex? He is really an Teacher Teacher. B- Yes, I did. I know him well. Did you hear about his last conference ? A- No, I didn't. But I know that his speech is always great and admirable.

Hello Sir, I want to study the English language from scratch to professionalism. I do not know where to start. I want a study plan, Professor
Thanks Alex, for sharing in detail the subtle but vital difference between these commonly used phrasal verbs.
Alex, a perfect english teacher ❤

It's just dawned on me that in Eastern Slavic languages

hear about - бути в курсі, знати про подію

Hi Alex. I checked out The Last Unicorn's song, it is great! Thank you for the class and the song recommendation 😊.
I’m glad you liked it, Humberto! It’s one of my favourites. I have it permanently on my phone. :)
I answered the quiz immediately after watching your video, quess what? 100 out of 100!
Well done! The next step is using the knowledge in speaking and writing. 👍
What if we add intensifiers or modifiers?
Have you heard of John?
Yes I have heard a lot of/about him.
This is definitely common with “hear about.” 👍
Was my best movie 😥😥😥

You brought up a very good point when you pointed out Juventus Football Club about Scandal
