HI every one … at first we have to say special thanks for ENGVID teams and all teachers..
I’m New member for this web site.
Actually i have a good background for English but now i need to be fluently in English (Academic English )because, now i am master student .
thanks again for all
Regards
you’ re fantastic. You helped me a lot
wow what a nice
Hello he slams the door suddenly. He’s a careless driver. He had a Car accident . He looks strong,muscle bound, built up well
Nose hair, he is tall. He jumps up and down. Walks backward
Is that correct?
hi rebeca i have a question what happend when i use “GOOD”
First of all, good is an adjective and well is an adverb.
The words good and bad are irregular adjectives and behave differently from regular adjectives.
With regular adjectives, we make the comparative form by adding -er to the adjective, and the superlative form by adding the -est to the adjective, as in hot, hotter and the hottest. The other regular way is to use more / most, as in difficult, more difficult, and the most difficult.
In the case of good, good is the basic adjective, better is the comparative form and the best is the superlative form.
This is a good car.
This car is better.
This is the best car of them all.
The same happens with bad/ worse/ the worst.
The adverb well is used in this way:
He writes well. (not “He writes good.”)
Like all adverbs, it tells us how he writes; in other words, it gives us more information about the verb.
Bad and Badly require a little more explanation, so I suggest you check a good grammar book.
All the best to you.
I messed up lots of times with the use of good and well till now. Thanks!
Hi Rebecca, On the quiz about adverbs. When do I use good and when do I use well? thanks a lot!! :)
Hi Rebecca, I really appreciate your kindness and your explanation. Thanks alot.
Hi Rebecca, I hope you’re doing great. Wonderful video by the way. I want to ask you something. You clearly said that when you use good as an adverb you must use well, I understood that. But I have heard some people that say very well and very good, and I wonder what’s the difference in that case (or should I say what the difference is) correct me if I’m wrong please. Oh another question. When I was doing the I choosed She speaks very clear, but after finishing the quiz pointed out that it was wrong, that I should have said clearly. It makes sense because if you ask how does she speak the answer should say that she speaks clearly, like you have taught. But I think that I have heard it without the ly before. I must be wrong sure, but is there any possibility that I could be right? Thanks for doing the video, and I hope for reading and answering! Hope to see you soon with another grammar lesson on this site.
Thanks for your feedback and interest.
Sometimes people say “very well” or “Very good” at the start of a sentence as a way of saying, “Okay”.
However, in a sentence, they would be used in this way:
He speaks very good Portuguese.
He speaks Portuguese very well.
In the case of “She speaks clearly.”
this is the only correct version.
Thanks very much for your interest and attention to detail, Martin. My very best wishes to you.
rebecca,how about inspire?

Hi Rebeca, I first want to know how you are..I hope things are going right in your life and you are leading your life smoothly,easily,happily while having a lot of fun and joy in your life.I must thank you for being inspired,motivated of learning this language by your priceless,incredible,unmatched video lesson ..Sometimes I intend to live in a world surrounded by English.I consider English to be the sweetest language across the world.To be honest,I must admit that I would have loved to take birth in an English speaking country.However,the creator does not seem to have wanted that but I am grateful as well as fortunate to have been able to see the beautiful world around me which encourages me to do something which has not been done by any living creatures till date-something which is still hidden,unbeliveable.I am also blessed to have got a chance to improve my English with the best friend (i.e. engvid) of mine..I request you to keep going this noble work helping a lot of learners across the world to have a strong command along with a deep realization of this language which could enable them to be landed in their desired carrers ..
Finally, I am winding up my emotions,thoughts by letting you know that I am looking forward to getting response from you…
Thank you kindly for your feedback. I wish you all the best with your English language learning.Given what you have written, I would say that you already have mastered quite a lot of the language. I do believe that we are all capable of achieving our goals, and I am sure you will do the same. My very best wishes to you, Sona.
Rebecca, thank you so much for this lesson. I am working on my English improvement hard, so I hope I used the adverbs in this sentence correctly.

Hi Rebecca, Thanks for clear explanation. I like your pronunciation. It is clear and suitable for the non-native persons. Your lessons and method are also very obvios for any learners. Enjoy your teaching.
Nice! Keep going and going—–
I really appreciate the methodology of teaching English.I have learnt too much of things before which i could not think of those materials. Thanks a bunch Mrs.Rebecca
Dear Rebecca,
Your lesson is very useful. I learnt a lot. Very clear explanations. Very easy to understand this lesson.
thank you very much teacher. I understand now about take a bring that you teach thank so much but how about (give and take)
Hii Rebecca,
I have learnt one stuff today.It’s actually a fundamental concept of English.I like to discuss about parts of speech expressing how much I have properly understood.
For an instance, we have words like “education”,”protection”,”Eviction” etc.These are all nouns whereas if we eliminate the “tion” part from the end of these words,we get the action words called verbs in English(Like “to educate”,”to protect” etc.)
Even, we can convert these action words into their corrresponding adjective forms by just adding “ed” at the end.I have cited some sample sentences here too.
1.All of my friends are well educated except me.
2.The chief minister of bengal(A state known Kolkata in India) has pledged to provide rehabilation package to the evicted people of Nonadanga.(The place where a lot of encroachers used to live before being evicted by the government).
3.My laptop is well protected by the newly-launched antivirus by microsoft which cost me one thousand and two hundred rupees to buy.
I like you to let me know if I have proper conception or not..
thank you for help
Thank you very much teacher. I understand now about take a bring that you teach thank so much but how about (give and take)
It was really cool to learn about those adjectives which are adverbs also, whithout changing its form. these were some new things for me.
Also the explanation about good and well and their use was a flash of light over a subject that I used to get confused.
Thanks Rebecca, nice class :)
Thank you very much for lesson!
Very nice lesson and very good pronunciation!
Hi, Rebecca
I have a question about preposition
i have read a sentence like this :
i am leaving the country , question is why we don’t use preposition here like leaving from the compony. Sometimes we have to use preposition but here why we don’t use or are there verbs we don’t have to use preposition ? Can you explain or can you make a lesson on this topic ,please ? Thank you very much for this great lessons …
I always ask myself about these rules… Actually I asked, because after this explanation everything is clear in mind… I’ve been learning a lot, in that way my I’ll improve quickly…All the best
Thank you Rebecca, very helpful lesson.
I wish you all the best!
