I was on the verge of writing about it, but I decided to check the first comments first. Fortunately, your message was almost at the top of the list. ;-)
Thank you so much for including the example "less vs. fewer." It drives me crazy that our news journalists and others almost always get this wrong. For example: "Less people attended this year's party" I would prefer, "Fewer people attended this year's party." It is not that difficult to think things through before the words come out!
Amazing video Lucy. I have been living in the UK quite few years now and English will never be my mother tongue. I moved from Spain with an advanced level of English but since doing that, my understanding of the language has improved dramatically. Thank you for sharing as always! Keep it up! 😍😍😍
Speaking of mistakes ;-), I was taught to use "not to" and NOT "to not". For example, at 0'36, when you say 'I will teach you how to NOT make these mistakes', I would have said '... how NOT to make these mistakes." Has English changed in 20 years, or has it become a colloquial way to speak (as with fewer vs less) ? And for how long?
This lesson is superb! It summarise the majority of misunderstanding ideas that I have been thought about grammar. Greetings from Perú, a maravellous country where is one of one of the wonders of the world.
The "Do" word reminded me very much of a comedy sketch that used the phrase, "Can I do you now, Sir?" Clearly indicating innuendo as to what "do" here actually means.
Hi Lucy! I loved this video. It’s very informative. Greetings from Chile. 01: Chile is one of the Latin two Latin American countries with the longest equestrian tradition. The other country is Argentina. 02: Chile is the country where the largest and most important music festival in Latin America “Festival Internacional de la canción de Viña de Mar”. And it is also the longest-running and most relevant Spanish-speaking music festival in the world. 03: Chile is the country with the largest urban park in Latin America and the fourth largest in the world “Parque Metropolitano de Santiago” 04: Chile is the Latin American country with the largest number of localities founded by Swiss. 05 Chile is the country with the largest retail company in Latin America “Falabella”. 06: Chile is the fourth exporter of wines worldwine. And the first in the American Continent 07: Chile is the country with the second tallest skyscraper in Latin America “Torre Costanera Center”. This skyscraper is located in Santiago. 08: Chile is the country with the third largest group of geysers in the world “Géiseres del Tatio”.
So happy that teacher Lucy went back to her classic background. Not busy nor distracting to look at but instead very relaxing to the eyes. Sometimes less is more. Simple is better. 😊🤗🙏💕✨ Thank you to my favorite English channel and teacher Lucy. ⭐💕💕💕👏🙏✨
"she does the bed" is for parents or maids who fix/organize a bed. "He makes the bed" is for woodworkers who build or create the bed using wood and glue and nails. This is how I understand it. But I really need more lessons to improve. Plus, I might get influenced with your accent. A British accent is a bonus. 😊 Thanks for the lessons..
I would say that a hotel maid does the bed, because she does the room, i.e. cleans it and makes it orderly. but when I get up, I make the bed (or not ....). My mother might say 'do your room, and that includes making the bed'. So - 'bed' is a bit of a tricky example! This is in fact a special use of the word 'do', to mean 'clean up', not the general use to mean 'perform an action'.
@@johngregory6005 yes. That is also how I understand it. And the word 'make' is not always mean 'to create' or 'to build', right? It's a bit tricky as you have said.
@@Schjoenz As Lucy says, 'make' has a range of meanings. Clearly saying 'to make the bed' when it means to straighten and tuck in the sheets, is not 'create' or 'build'. If I cause you harm, I could 'make it good' by compensating you for your loss. I can make a payment - online or in person. The word is very flexible in a lot of languages - which is useful for those who understand but tricky for people learning from the outside...
Hello, Ma'am I'm from India. I started to see your videos few a days. It was awesome. I really liked it. Your explanation & interaction is Fantastic. I understood eveything. Thank uhh for this amazing video.... 😇😊😍
Great lesson! I'm just a bit confused about the explanation of have vs get. I was taught in middle and high school that using just have is an Americanism and we were encouraged to use the "proper British form" expressing possession with 'have got'. Has the language changed or am I missing something?
I am looking forward to every lesson. I am in the urgent need to improve my English for my Job. And I am afraid my English ist terrible. So in this way - Thank you for this great Channel 🥰
4:29 Not really, I myself purposefully mispronounce English words when I'm speaking in Spanish because it's easier than switching accents, but I also do it so that the pedants around me suffer >:)
With the quantifier "much" I think it needs to be stressed that it is not used in positive sentences as "many" would be "There were many shells on the beach". The following sentence would be wrong "There was much sand on the beach." Quite a lot of students don't realize that and assume that "much" is just the uncountable equivalent of "many".
Hey mam...happy to c u in pink,i wish u could make some conversational oriented English,coz we encounter different situations everyday.I hope u do in your next video.
Very interesting. The "problem" I have is with words beginning with "H." Is it "a house," "a hotel" & "a hospital" OR SHOULD it be, "AN house, AN hotel & AN hospital?" 🙂
usage varies and it's hard to say there is a rule - but it's A hard question, not AN hard question. Usually if the H is breathed, it's A. But one hears both with Hotel. Probably more frequently A, but that may depend on the region.
Dear Lucy, First of all I would like to thank you for your great videos on RUclips! What a lovely way to introduce new expression, grammar and pronunciations lessons! After having much fun (and progress I guess) I decided to subscribe to your channel and shortly after to take part of your Beautiful B 2 English course. Right after I did the payment I checked only the first tutorial on using the course, but unfortunately I do not kwon how to reach my account. Last weekend I replied to one of your proposals received in my gmail asking you for an advice, but it must have been a no-reply message. So I aloud myself to put this comment here. Thank you in advance for your quick reaction - I cannot wait to join the course. Best wishes, Janina Ninova, Bulgaria
On the a/an part: In Hungarian, the equivalent of "a/an" is "egy", which basically means one, and for "the", we have "a/az", depending on whether the next word starts with a vowel or a consonant, the similarly to "a/an".
Thanks a lot . Perfect and best Teacher ever . Your smile gives the video a kind of magic. Also your presence is unique. You have a blessing from Almighty GOD 😍
Having taught English many years in France, sometimes students who had learned "rules" long before questioned my usage. One I remember is that a student was convinced that you could not use "whose" in relation to an inanimate object. But that usage goes back to Shakespeare and was used by writers such as Jane Austen.
Interesting. I wonder if you encounter someone from the southern United States. I am from Los Angeles California, USA.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 and sometimes is hard to understand those southern folks from the southern states in the USA.

Oh no! A typo crept in - my apologies! At 10:51 'a lots' is incorrect - it should be 'lots'
I noticed it and got confused. Glad you corrected it here. Thank you.
I also noticed but I instantly understood it was a mistake.
Mistakes happen.. Even during a video about not making mistakes.
And at 11:02 is written We’ve GOT lots more to study, but Lucy pronounces We HAVE lots more to study. …

I've learned some of these lessons, and I've understood them. But I just realized how to use Less and Fewer in a sentence. Thanks, Lucy.

Thank you so much.

I'm so fall in love with Lucy's voice looks that i started speaking like luci's voice accent
Hello, Lucy, I like the way you describe and explain the meaning of these words, when often we FEEL when to use one or the other term.
Good work with detailing.

Hi Lucy we love your lessons ❤❤❤
I am primarily here to see you and learning English is a bonus 😀
I love your show! When I was younger, long ago. You may want to be sitting. My mate said" I aint not never seen no thing like that before".

"she does the bed" is for parents or maids who fix/organize a bed.
"He makes the bed" is for woodworkers who build or create the bed using wood and glue and nails.

well, thank you Lucy! 😂 I was really upset each time I get fewer and less wrong, but now you've cheered me up!
I think it’s most common for people to incorrectly replace “fewer” with “less,” rather than the other way round. It’s very common.
I want to ask about using less with short adjectives. Is it correct to say : She has less tall than me. Or less hight
Awesome lesson! Thanks for sharing!
12:15 "We have fewer than 5 tickets left" is obviously also correct as well as the example "Fewer than 50 people came to the event". 🤔
correct. But for sums of money, one does not think of them as individual units. So 'less than $50' - an amount, not a number of countable dollars.
Hello madam your teaching English speaking is excellent and admirable thank you so much
I love you and love English British ♥ ❤
