Compound Word Mistakes: ALRIGHT or ALL RIGHT? AWHILE or A WHILE? EVERYDAY or EVERY DAY?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2024
- Is it “a lot” or “alot”? Or maybe “allot”? Today we’re talking about compound words in English. These words sound the same or very similar when we say them, but in writing we need to know which to use. Autocorrect won’t help you here - it will often choose the wrong word for you! In some cases, these compound words are different accepted spellings of the same word. Sometimes, though, they’re words with different meanings. And sometimes, one version is just wrong! Learn these once and for all so you don’t have to search for the answer every time you want to write an email. Then test your knowledge with the quiz: www.engvid.com/compound-word-...

I am weak in English. Do you have any English courses?
Thanks boss
I will wait here for a while. It's been awhile!
Is it all right if I use x instead of y as a variable in this problem, Mister Triangle? Yep, we can call on these tough chicks and then party hard, alright, bro?
I drink orange juice every day. It is an everyday occasion.
To solve the problem altogether, we must do it all together.
It's a lot of work! I was alloted a loge in theatre.
I spent there some time, about an hour. I was there for sometime, do not remember, for how much.
Thanks for the video! Please check my homework (or home work?).
This guy is brilliant. Our schools need many more teachers like him.
Best teacher, as a native speaker I always come here to address my own mistakes. 😂
I study English every day with no weekends, but I know that studying is so much better than watching social media on useless videos. I have been working for a while, and I will edit my plan to have vacation sometime. When I finish achieving my goals, I will spend a lot of time on my feuture project. Next week, I am going to alloting more time on English videos.
It was a great class because these are words or expressions that "everyone knows" when and how to use.
Until you watch the entire video and realize you didn't.
This man's teaching skills are amazing.
Thank you, James! Your enthusiastic tone is my favorite part of your lessons. You’re engaging, concise, professional, and friendly.
An excellent lesson.
One of my favorite teacher,I can't understand when the video ends when I watch your video,You deserve a million!
Hello James! I watch a lot of your videos for a while and they're very cool altogether. It would be all right if I have enough time to watch them every day, unfortunately I do not have.💜
The only human being on earth I have never heard mentioned people by their skin colour. You are my hero 💓.
English is my first language and I still have trouble choosing the right words in sentences 😅
knowledge isn't inherited by a family, like illness.
Can you imagine for us how hard it is.
Back in my middle school, I always assist my English teachers teaching other students because I'm one of the most fluent. I can understand English is definitely *confusing but fair* like Dark Souls levels.

Hey, can i ask u a question?
I love how he starts the lesson 😇
Thank you very much for your great lessons! 💐
The way he starts off his lesson is really funny. I burst laughing everytime he is a kind of in the middle of other things and then like, hey😂James from engvid shortly before unveiling his mystery, the gifts he has.

Here are my sentences:
1) English is such a nice language; I've been learning it for a while now.
We thought we would find him there waiting for us, but to our surprise, all of us arrived and waited awhile before he finally showed up.
2) She told him she was alright when he went to check on her.
I had a good time since the movie was alright.
3) I strive to study English every day.
I try to make studying English an everyday thing for me.
4) The spy spotted them all together at the party the other day.
He thought he was right while he was altogether wrong about all of it.
5) Isn't it a good idea to allot them some supplies as they have lost almost everything due to the hurricane?

We're all have same amount of time, 24 hours per day, every day. Some people use it wisely, and some just wasted it altogether. For some people it's quite a lot, and for others it's not enough at all, sometime they're still need some time to make things all right even just for a while

I'm not an English speaker. Can someone explain me what an adverb is?, in simple words?
Adverb is a little addition in your sentence, to *make your sentence stronger*
