Thnx James! Today is Saturday I watched this video 3 days ago, It was Wednesday. Right?
Hi James,
can I ask you a question?
Generally, must is used when somebody does something along a rule. I have facts – i.e. a list of school rules – even though I use must. At least, that’s the rule I was taught. Could you make this clear? Thanks. :)
By the way, it might be just a difference between British and American English.
And a request at the end: I wonder if you could make a lesson on only x just because they are sometimes same, sometimes not. Thank you in advance. :)
I had more tabs open. Sorry for misplaced comment.
Hi anri! would u like to make friend with u in order to improve our English. :)
I’m looking forward to receiving ur mail.
My email: loptruong_dethuong_xinhxan@yahoo.com.vn
thank you mr james you are great teacher
you are the best
I hope to be like your personality
if it was more the 7 days ago would you say last week?? or if you want to be more Precise would you say ” i did go out bowling last week on Wednesday” or how would you say it.. i love “eng” even more then my own language wish is Danish
Ps. i love your videos
90% not bad ^_^ i love “Eng”
As usual, it was a fine lesson, James. But I’ve a doubt. I think that it sounds more correct to say “My birthday will be a few months from now” instead of “My birthday is a few months from now” (this last sentence was considered correct in question eight of the quiz). Anyway, thanks. P.S.: Excuse-me for my languages mistakes.
I have the same doubt!!
Thanks gmenonim!

YOU ARE THE GREATEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER SEEING.
Hi, James, hi, all. I have a question about the quiz:
“My birthday is a few months from now”
Is it correct? Why we can use “IS” instead of “WILL BE”, but we talk about future. I’m confused.
I thought, if we use “AGO” we should use “WAS/WERE”, if we use “from now” we should use “WILL”, and finally if we talk about present tense we should use “IS/ARE”
Regards, Nik

Hi James! I have a doubt…in question number 8, I´m talk about future I shoud say “My birthday will be a few months from now, shoudn´t it? I dont understand why it´s correct to use the verb to be in the present tense.
yeah. :)
