Good morning !. As far as number 5 is concerned; can we say "We were eight people." ?. And as far as number 9 is concerned; we don't pronunce the letter "s" when we say the word "Island".
Hi Greg, Such a lovely, articulate, professional presentation. I wish I had a teacher like you when I started learning English 50 years ago....I am now 66. At the age of 40 I remarried moving to the UK, where I lived for 17 years. My English husband used to be an ALevels physics teacher, who helped me with my English enormously. This was back in 1998, when reading a gossip newspaper took me a week...now I read the whole Guardian in an hour. Certainly, my English will never be super perfect, as it is my fourth language. I was born in Transylvania Romania, as a minority half Szekler Hungarian half Saxon German. I studied in Romanian, besides that I studied French and English, too. When I moved to the UK I studied English for 4 years to understand the language better and get more qualifications in computing, accounting...I studied Marketing and Business Management, so I needed a better level of English understanding in order to get a good job in the UK. It was not easy, but considering that I started a new life in the UK at the age of 40, I achieved a lot, working for large Pharmaceutical companies, as Personal Assistant to Clinical Directors. 12 years ago my DH took an early retirement at 55, so we decided to move to Hungary, as our grandchildren were born in this country. We have been living here since 2013, 10 years. I speak fluent Hungarian, which helped us settle down in this country, as my well educated, well spoken, and well read husband was not able to learn this difficult language all this time. Of course we speak English at home, watch Sky TV and read English News on our Ipads, but I noticed that my English got a bit rusty by using the Hungarian more, however, I should not complain as not many older Hungarians speak English at 66, not at my level, that is for sure. I found your site through an English teacher who happens to be Hungarian, but living in the UK for the past 19 years. She recommended your site on Esther Gottchall's RUclips, which I often watch. I think you are an excellent teacher. My younger granddaughter, soon 18, would love to have such a great teacher. She studies German and English, and already has a B2 in German, and soon in English, too. I did your tests, and I have to admit I made two mistakes in total across the 6 levels. Thank you for reading my comment. I find you really articulate, very clear, very intelligent. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Hope your students appreciate your outstanding work. You are great! 👍💯 🇬🇧🇭🇺
Thank you, your explanation of the rules is so simple and nice, it makes understanding of something difficult easier!)) I am from Ukraine and I graduated from the university many years ago, worked as a translator for a while, though I realise that something was not clear till I've heard your explanation. Thank you for your lessons.
Wow ! What a talented teacher ! Hi Greg. I have some notes 1. The modal verb " can" : how 's it pronounced if it is a question tool? 2. Arabs also have the R r r r r r sound of the letter R 3. Arabs use nearly the British accent from decades ,since the English language became the second language in many Arab countries but : now the Americans started to teach their own accent which depends on @. Opening the mouth widely for pronunciating many words. B) pronouncing letter t as d ( they call it flap t) And ( c) they pronounce the letter R with stress on it . The question IS: if someone used to speak almost British accent , will they make fun of him/ her , you think ?????
Everyone hi) Im from Russia and I can say that Im really glad to find a such perfect RUclips channel. I had some questions before this video. However, thanks to Greg, I could get it a such topic as "ing or ed". It is really easily. Also, I continue to watch this channel, because my future English exam is waiting for me and I need to look for useful information to take my exam excellently. I hope that I will take it!
In the 3rd mistake example, I prefer to use SHALL... because it is CONDITIONAL.... I only tend to use WILL WHEN THINGS ARE IN MY CONTROL and I can KEEP UPTO THE COMMITMENT!!
You are an amazing teacher. I enjoy your method ,not only for being efficient for my knowledge and my memory,but for your enthusiasm and love for teaching. I'm greatful to you for sending me your lessons.
I am a Filipino and I speak English most of the time because I am a school principal. I learned a lot from your videos. It makes my English better every day.
Thank you, it was helpful I will try to keep on learning. INGLISH IS MY FOURTH LANGUAGE THIS ONE I HAD LEARN ON MY OWN I KEEP TRYING TO IMPROVE THANK YOU
Hallo Greg. Thank you very much for all tips. I have learned a lot. I am from Brazil and now I have learned how to pronounce verbs in the past tense. No English teacher ever gave me that tip👋
“Congratulations” is a hard one for me. In Swedish “grattis” is a sign of happiness for the person. It can be things like, marriage, passed exam or the achievement to have fulfilled another year of life.
I'm German. Congratulations: Yes, you got me there; thanks for clarification. The 'R' sound: there are some letter combinations which totally force the tip of my tongue to briefly curl upwards, like in 'from', 'free', 'serenity', 'wrong', 'rules', 'bring', ...
مساء الخير سيد Greg شكرا على شرحك الوافي للدروس لكن نطق Rالانجليزية صعب جدا بالنسبة لاغلبية العرب كصعوبة نطق الانجليزيون لبعض الحروف العربية مثل : - حرف القاف تنطقوه كاف - حرف الحاء والهاء والعين تنطقوه الف
Thank you very much teacher, Greg! Your lessons are quite interesting and I am improving a lot with them. I have already subscribed to your channel. Thank you for everything! Bye! Edmar, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Hi Greg, I am always happy to hear from you. I am also glad to inform you that I watched your lesson and I can tell you that I never make these mistakes, I probably make others.... Thanks for your lessons I got rid of them....Have a nice day, hope to see you soon on YT - beso 🤞
Thank you. I have one question. Which preposition is correct? We came home "from" Norway last week. or We came home "to" Norway last week. ? There wasn´t concept, just sentences to fill in with right preposition. Thank you.
"R" is very different in American English and British English. What Greg explains here is the American version of "R". British "R" is more like soft "A".
The sound of "r" is my achilles heel. I can't do it 100% in a correct tongue position (let's say currently I'm half-way done, sounds closer to what it should be, but still on an "accent" level of sounding). I'm so jelaous to a native speakers since it so easy for them :( The reason of this is because in a slavic-type of language (my native) pronouncing R that way count as an "problem in speech" and children are visiting a speech therapist incase they pronounce it like this, to actually fix it and pronounce it in spanish way only (like you've demostrated)
"I will call you when I get home." = TIME CLAUSE, not conditional, am I right? - We can ask: I will call you WHEN? - when I get home. CONDITIONAL clause would use IF: I will call you IF I get home. (If I do not get home, I cannot call you).
I'm glad the 3rd was the only mistake I made. Could you please explain when we use "someone" and "somebody"? I read one is more formal (and already forgot which). Your videos make it easier to remember stuff. My first English lesson was in 2004 and I still make mistakes >< And maybe a video about capital letters and punctuation. You use capital letters for names, countries, "I"... and? Moreover (no I shouldn't say moreover but I was taught in school it's an awesome word) punctation. I'm German and I tend to use our (very complicate) German rules but that's not correct I guess.
Luckily I haven't spotted new insights for myself, but at the beginning I had these problems. Thanks for the video, it should be really useful for newborn learners in their adventure of English language mastering :-)
Cheers, you assisted me a lot, however, I didn't have these blunders it was a pretty informative video for me, and this grammar stopped making me confused, thank you
I strongly believe in a language there is only one mistake. That is not speaking. Encourage people to speak and make mistakes. Then you can correct him.
Hey Greg, I've been following you for a bit. I just wanted to thank you for all these tiny lil' tips. If I may leave some constructive criticism, I think it would help if the correct words were marked in green instead of red. Red tends to translate to wrong, so it sometimes confuses me when the right word is in red and I have to wait and see if there's a 'but' at the end of your explanation. Once again, thank you very much for your content!

the TH and R sounds are the most complicated for me in English

This video is amazing, I sent to all my friends
There are 5 of us in our family.
Thank you for teaching me this.
It's ALL about rhythm ! 🤘
Exactly at the 15:00 mark, you use the word "often".
THAT'S a silent letter I definitely do pronounce
You will hear SOME native speakers pronouncing the 't' in 'OFTEN'... but I personally don't.
Happy birthday and congratulation was my mistake. Now I know better. Thank you Greg
Thank you very much Greg! This video lesson is full of energy as and all you are doing!👍
Was useful to learn about the usage of the word 'congratulations'.
Super lesson as usual! Thanks! 👍🏻
I always used "we were 8" when i used to count my group of friends in the past...i never knew i was wrong..thanks alot Greg!😁👍🏻
You are so smart and funny!!!

In the evening.
Good evening!
Thank you very much for helping me identify my pronunciation mistakes, especially R sound.
Thank you. I have one question. Which preposition is correct? We came home "from" Norway last week. or We came home "to" Norway last week. ? There wasn´t concept, just sentences to fill in with right preposition. Thank you.
Thank You Greg
"R" is very different in American English and British English. What Greg explains here is the American version of "R". British "R" is more like soft "A".
Wonderful !!!!!!!! But I am looking for more advancing .
I am always amazed with the pronunciation of "Squirrel" 😅😅
and the word "Tire" and all his forms...
The sound of "r" is my achilles heel. I can't do it 100% in a correct tongue position (let's say currently I'm half-way done, sounds closer to what it should be, but still on an "accent" level of sounding). I'm so jelaous to a native speakers since it so easy for them :(
The reason of this is because in a slavic-type of language (my native) pronouncing R that way count as an "problem in speech" and children are visiting a speech therapist incase they pronounce it like this, to actually fix it and pronounce it in spanish way only (like you've demostrated)
Thanks Greg very helpful 😎

Thank you for the lesson It does not make mistakes only one who does nothing but with your lessons there will be less mistakes!
Thanks for specific explaining. Your explanations are always effective.
Luckily I haven't spotted new insights for myself, but at the beginning I had these problems. Thanks for the video, it should be really useful for newborn learners in their adventure of English language mastering :-)
Very interesting video 😍😍😍😍
newborn learners?!!! 😶 no such word, my friend!!
Why i understand 100% all You tell but i feel i need learn much.
Greg thank you so much. I really aprecciate your work, it helps learners to go in the right way
Sir, you are doing really a great Job. Thanks you
Thanks!
In Scared...the D also pronounced like T.. thanks for that ☺️🇦🇷✨
Pd: Con mis respetos, qué hermosos ojos!
Wow! Thanks! I didn't know about congradulations.
Greg has a very interesting accent. It is halfway between British English and American English. I would like to know what his native tongue is.
Cheers, you assisted me a lot, however, I didn't have these blunders it was a pretty informative video for me, and this grammar stopped making me confused, thank you
อาจารย์
Thanks. I made few of those mistakes.
I strongly believe in a language there is only one mistake. That is not speaking. Encourage people to speak and make mistakes. Then you can correct him.
all!!
Full mistakes and happy 😅
Gosh!I only made the first mistake thanks for letting us know👌🏻
Does this "r" sound have a slight "w" component?
excellent explanations, clear and accurate. thanks
You give really useful advice. Thanks a lot 🤝
is it the same ipa as the noun of "can"？
Great video
Thank u!
thanks 🥰♥️♥️👍
6:20 good ryhme :D
You're funny! Tnx, is easing, in my opinion 🥳❤️

Good video.thanks
Teacher, how identify a sentence, simple, complex , compound, complex-compound?
Thanks to your "quick fix "Greg , no mistake at all ! 😅
I didn't know about the mistake 1 so I will pronounce kn now 😄, and I used to make the mistake 5 before, I don't do it anymore 😇
Thanks. I have no mistakes that you have mentioned. However, I believe that 'to' after can is not a preposition. Isn't it called particle?
If you watch Greg's videos, you will make less mistakes! ;)
Many thanks from Ukraine!
Слава Україні, друже 🇺🇦💪
