Very usefull
I haven’t watch everyone yet but I already watch Emma, Rebecca, & Ronnie. I learned a lot from them. My big problem is using prepositions. I’ve watched some of prepositions video but if I could have someone to explain how beneath,beside, besides,toward, towards,off, and more. If that would be posible. Whatever you can teach me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Haha. Good one.
Don’t you need to use a comma here,instead of a period?
I have a lot of beautiful girls,only one of whom i fall in love
Why do we need to use adjective clause and quantifier?
Why do we need to use adjective clause and quantifier?
It’s an advanced grammar point, and you can hear native speakers using this construction in a variety of settings.
Example:
Check out this fact. Tim Burton has made over 20 movies, 8 of which have starred Johnny Depp.
I got 10 out of 10 .
Hi Alex,
I will be so glad if you add a video expaning the difference between effect and affect.
Thanks,
Vishnu
Hi vishnu,
Rebecca has made a video on this topic: http://www.engvid.com/confused-words-effect-affect/
Many thanks Alex.
I went through the lesson and it was really very helpful.
:) Very interesting lesson. You are great!
Thanks a lot
I love your lessons. Would you please explain me why #7 two of whose problems are incorrect .
By the way, I feel a bit confused for giving single choice when verb allows -ving and to-v; noun has similar meaning in its c/u forms. What should I do?
In the clip : how to understand native speaker, there was a sample sentence, who do you( ya) like ?
What does it mean? Whom do you like ? Who do you look like ? or …
I am looking forward to hearing your excellent explanation . Thank you.
Was very helpful, 9/10 :)
Thank you sir.
100 :D
No way…!
You’ve got a lot of terrific lesson, one of which is this :)
“You’ve got a lot of terrific lessons,…”
Don’t forget to use a plural if you say “a lot.”
Hey Alex, I just wanted to clarify if the rule is always same, do you always have to put the plural form after ‘a lot of’? or is there any exception?

hi sir

Hi Alex
I’ve looked up for lesson “Adjective Clauses”, but I didn’t find it.
Please, could you send me the link, or show me where is it?
Thanks
They are also called relative clauses, which is why you may have had a difficult time finding it. Here is the lesson: http://www.engvid.com/writing-relative-clauses-overview/
its not easy that much , but i think all of us have to watch it again the lesson to understand it
Can’t watch it. It stop by itself.
thanks Alex
I’ve been following many online english websites , only one of which is worth learning from. It’s Engvid.com with no doubt !
Right on! Thanks!
Thanks a lot
God bless you all
Oanh
Very good lesson! Thanks Alex
Dear Alex!!!
WHY some grammar books mention that (that)isn’t correct to be used with non-identifying adjective clauses?
thanks
Because it can’t be. :) Never push a “that” adjective clause after a comma.
Example:
I visited Times Square last year, which was also the year I got married. (OK)
I visited Times Square last year, that was also the year I got married. (NOT OK)
The only way the second sentence can work is if you make them into two separate sentences like this:
I visited Times Square last year. That was also the year I got married.
OR
I visited Times Square last year; that was also the year I got married.
Thanks Alex
I appreciate you and Ronnie answering our questions.
Thanks Alex.
This lesson is very useful for me.
There are many good teachers on Engvid.com, one of whom is Alex.
Thanks a lot for this Wonderful oportunity, in which we can practice our English Grammar
your grammar lesson is very good.
Hey, Alex thanks for this lesson.
I think there’s a mistake on exercise #4: I think you’ve forgotten to use “were” after the word paitings:
(He’s a famous painter. One of his paintings “were” sold for over $50,000.)
Could you check this out for me?
Thanks
Hmm, I think you may be right, although you would use “was” instead of “were.” However, native speakers also use the verb “sold” without the verb to be.
Example:
I advertised my phone on eBay. It sold for $300.
No, I am sorry. He is not right. “was” in this sentence refers to “one”, which is singular and not to “paintings”. So the sentence used in the quiz is correct.
Nice work
I think, correct sentence is “one of his paintings WAS sold”. Am I right?
Nice class thanks!
Good class! I got aq 80%, I have a cold, I am tired, but the class was so entertainin! Thanks Alex
Thanks a lot! I like your videos because you really understand students and know what we might think and what typical problems face. By the way, your English is beautiful!

You are so funny
aren’t you?

Alex,you are realy good teacher.thanks you very much.
Hello Alex, I have two questions:
One concerns “whom” because Americans use “who” as a subject and object, and if we want to speak American English, in this example you gave “both of whom”, can we use “both of who”, or in this specific case should we use “whom”?
The second question is: if we want to combine the two sentences using a comma, is this wrong when we say: “Cris has two sisters, both of them smoke”, or if we want to say it in that way, do we have to separate the sentences using a period? What about “and” — “Cris has two sisters and both of them smoke”, is this correct?
Native English speakers definitely use “who” in place of “whom” because most don’t know or care about the difference between the two words. However, in the case of adjective clauses with quantifiers, you are more likely to hear “whom.” It just rolls off your tongue better.
You need to separate the two sentences you wrote. You can either use a period of a semi-colon.
Example:
Chris has two sisters. Both of them smoke.
Chris has two sisters; both of them smoke.
With and, you used two independent clauses, so you should technically place a comma before “and.”
Chris has two sisters, and both of them smoke.
You’ll see native speakers who omit the comma, though.
Thanks.

Hi teacher! I want to ask about the grammar of the following sentence:”The last thing I do is feed the chikens”
Dear Thoa56,
In stead of our teacher I would like to tell you what I know. The sentence “The last thing I do is feed the chickens” is the same to “The last thing I do is to feed the chickens”.
Sometimes an infinitive is used in the emphasized verb phrase after to do in the what-clause. Like this: What I want to do is (to) study English.
thank you Alex! Got perfect score.. :)
Hi Alex!
Thanks a lot for your useful explanations, “which” (he, he …)has made me improving my English level day by day.
Greetings from Barcelona (Spain)
Alex, thank you for your useful lesson.
I got 10 correct in this quiz!
Thank you very much!
Thanks, Alex! That was new although I’m majoring in English! Question, would you use that construction in everyday conversation? Is it kind of “too formal” to use? I just don’t wanna sound like a smart ass, if you know what I mean…One more thing, can you make a lesson on “predominant” vs “dominant”? I googled the whole thing, they’re supposed to be different and used in different contexts, but I just can’t find why, nor can I find the different connotations of either one of them. Thanks a million, Alex! Osama form Jordan
It’s definitely a formal structure, but it’s possible to use it in regular conversation without sounding like a smart ass. Just depends how natural you sound when you say it.
Example:
He’s made tons of movies, only one of which was decent.
She’s written 3 books, all of which deal with the exact same questions and themes.
Unfortunately, I can’t help you with the “dominant”/”predominant” question. It’s not something I’ve ever really done any in-depth research on. After a quick google search, I couldn’t find much either.
Thanks, Alex!
thanks a lot :)
Wow! . I can’t believe myself! I got 10 correct out of 10 when I tested my understanding of this English lesson after I watched that video while I’m afraid to speak English with native speakers. I think there must be any wrong with my strategy to learn English. I also have problems to write. Plus, I have problems in listening. But that site and IELTS tapes help me get my listening better.
Sir Alex, can you suggest how to improve my English as I am in the place not used English speaking?
i made 100 exersices two of which are false
Hi Alex, I have found that: http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/dictionary/predominant
http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/dictionary/dominant
I think there the difference is clear….. :)
Wonderful lesson thanks for sharing.I have recently started learning English with videos http://www.youtube.com/user/twominenglish and it works well for me.
