hi,valen..you can explain this word “charles”.i have ever studyed grammar for more 1 years.but i didn’t remember all.i ask you why we add s innto this “charsles’s”.i omitted .you can explain for me .you can answer for me by my gmail ‘s tuyetphong.forever@gmail.com
I would like to appreciate your efforts for presenting such a nice lesson.
Do you have any lesson on word “Been” e.g. have been, has been, was been etc?
Hi Teacher.
Huuummmm i didn’t understand the example:
The horse’s hay is damp. – Singular (just 1 horse).
The horses’ hay is damp. – Plural
Well, i’m confused, for me is: The horses’s hay ARE damp.
Could you answer me ?
Thanks
Hi Reinoni,
Hay is an uncountable noun so we don’t add an ‘s’ to the end of hay. If the sentence was: The horses are damp.- we would use ‘are’ but because the sentence is referring to the horse’s hay and hay is uncountable we use ‘is’ instead of ‘are’. You can watch my lesson on Countable and Uncountable Nouns in English to get a better understanding of this.
This video is very helpful. I was little bit confused about the use of apostrophe ‘s. Now this thing is quite clear to me. Thank you again for your work.
i am being impressed with yuor teaching idea,and now i am getting improve my english language.I want to learn about tense in full details.Please advise.
HI

3-Here again (Englend has cold weather or Englend has a cold weather) which one is right ?and why ?
5-if i say ( I have a cold or I have cold ) which one is right and why ?

Hi Hi Hi Valen, i just want to say to you that I am among the thousands of people who appreciate what you and the other teachers are doing, I mean you guys are great, doing this online thing for free. I stumbled upon this website just 2 days ago and I have been visiting your site pretty much everyday, hoping that someday I could really improve my communication skills. I know how to speak english but I feel that I am still not “there” yet. I mean, a lot of times I would run out of words or I would stutter or the person I am speaking to does not seem to understand what I am saying and it feels very embarrassing a lot of times. I have been in the states for 6 years now but i am still not confident in my English. Your site has been very helpful to me and to a lot of people who had the same struggle like mine. Keep up the good work. Happy holidays to all of you and may God bless all of you.

I would like to request you that If you have availabele time could you send me all Engish Tenses and How using them as well and anthother one please teach about how to build the sentences in English too. I love your teaching so much. you are very good Teacher.

i hope you contact me
Hi Valen I’m Mirelly and I’m really in doubt. I’m used to confusing some things like the possessive, the use of the prepositions like “of” and the adjectives before the nouns. I hope you understood my doubt.
Thank you and congrats by your lesson!
what about the proper names like Jesus, Ulysses, Socrates, Euripides.. can we use just an apostrophe at the end?
You can do that — “Jesus’ hamburger is on the plate.” for example. But it is more common nowadays to add the “s” after the apostrophe even for names that end in s — “Jesus’s cat is very cute.” for example. Please watch James’s full lesson on Apostrophe+S!
YOUR SUCH A GOOD AND BRILLIANT TEACHER,IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME FOR ME TO EXPRESS BETTER ENGLISH EXPRESSIONS,YOUR ALSO CARISMATIC TEACHER ^^….THANKS….
Hello to everyone¡¡ Just I want to say that your lessons I have helped a lot. I{m from Mexico and I’d like to see if is posible to make a video and teach us the differences between: Have been, has been, had been etc… all the references about BEEN, because this is confuse to learn or to apply in the sentences. Thanks to Rebecca, Valen and Ronie, you explain very well the class. Well done.

Your are doing well.
Q1: Are boys’ games canceled?
Q2: Boy’s English’s Grammar is not too good.
is second sentence is correct? plz tell me and why is it wrong?
Hey Valen,
Its really very nice work and I think your are in right way.
May I ask if you teach us how we can use the link word; really I need this topic to write my theses.
Regard
Dear Valen,
Your work is quite interesting and I feel you can further enrich by using table for total solution on the topic you undertake.I have worked for 40 years on classroom strategies for the easiest methodology.
I will be happy to share my original work with you on hearing from you.
Many thanks you are going on the right track.
Hi Teacher,
I’m confused, as you’ve said putting an “S” in a plural word is not correct like your example:
The men’s suits are black — wrong
The men suits are black — correct
But why i got wrong in my quiz answering:
The children teacher is very young.
Could you please answer me.
Thank you.
i think the ‘s’ was used to show the possisve of men suits
men’s suits mean’s suits are related to men
i am sorry for intrrept you andhe answer for ms valen
Hi Valen first of all i thank you for your lessons
and I have a problem with (long I ) AND(SHORT I)
SO WOULD YOU PLEASE MAKE CLEAR FOR ME MY ESL TEACHER COULDN’T ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
THANKS A LOT VALEN
Hi Valen,
Your teaching style is very nice, I also accounting teacher but I am very week in English language. I am improving English with your lesson videos.
hey teacher
well i’m confussed :/
may be u forgot to erease ”is” for ”are” in the minute 3:12 because
i think we canot say ”the horses’ hay is damp” cause is plural
it should be ”the horses’ hay are damp”
i think you forgot to change ”is” for ”are”
or am i wrong?
and besides in the ‘test lesson’ i lost in the answer #3 because there are more than 2 people getting birtday and they have the same name :/ plz answer me back im really confused, i’m sorry about my grammar i hope you understand me :(
answer me back hughs :)

thanks
Kind Rehards
There is no cd, and NO email address! Sorry! Everything is right here.
You referred to the words such as My, Your, His, Her etc. as Possessive Pronouns but that is NOT CORRECT cause they`re possessive ADJECTIVES as each of them describe a NOUN following them.
Please tell me if I`m wrong and I`d be glad to know your comment.
Hi Valen I’m Raju. I’m a regular student of your english lesson. Almost every day I watch your english language courses. Really I fall in love with your teaching style. Would you mind please if you make lesson about use of “in spite of” and “despite of”. I’m grateful to you. Thanks
I did the quiz and I had wrong, the sentense with the words “boy” and “children”.
My answers were boys’s and childrens’.
I don’t undestand. Could you explain me?
thanks
hi miss
i have a little bit confusion about the first sentense i put the word boy’s but that us not correct and the correct one is boys’ tell me why thanks i realy enjoying your classes.umer
Hi everybody
the lesson was great, and i have a question if someone would like to answer me, why did she pronounce “S” “SH” in the words apostrophe and street.Which pronunciation is correct. By the way i found Valen and James’s pronunciation more difficult to understand than the other teachers,
How about the combination thank you till the hell freezes over.
thank you
Dear Valen,
I have a question. Actually in the quiz of your lesson “Possession using apostrophie”.
Please tell me in Quiz Q.No 3 Charle and Charles
both are the names why both are not true.
Please reply
Asim
Hi Valen, I see the fine work you do here. Well, I’d like to take advantage of that by making a question concerning the use of apostrophes that show possession, can they be use for objects? this is an example: The buliding’s rooms. Is this correct? I thank you beforehand for your kind attention (I’m a student of English as my second language :D )
Are you sure that we add an apostrophe to the proper names which already have ”s” at the end? Because I saw ”Butters’ new shirt” (for example) They simply added an apostrophe to the end. Without double s.
Thanks for the video! I’d like to see more about grammar. Especially if it’s complicated. ;)
Hi Valen actually I didn’t use this website a lote,
but I watched some of your vidio lessons and is good
but I like to speak with an amrican english teacher from chat or anything you can do.
and in my country doesn’t have those teachers
so if you can any time I will thankyou very much.
Regarding possession and apostraphe’s — What about if you are trying to say that two boys own an item(s)?
Ex. The boys’s bedroom. or The boys’ bedroom? The boy’s bedrooms…
I have an ongoing argument with someone who has two boys! This comes up a lot and frankly, I’m really not sure how it’s written or said. I say it like a proper name, like the Charles’s pen example. Please clarify.
It should be the boys' bedrooms, pronounced the same as the boy's bedrooms. This is the same for words that end in -s (for example, if Charles is a surname and you’re talking about people from the Charles family, the plural would be Charleses and the possessive is Charleses').
hello,my name is malick from west Africa, i’m very fond of your wonderful lessons in english and that was my first time to see those commons expressions in english,let me wish all my congratulations for you!
I have a question about this sentence,”Tall guy gets knocked out by one punch after harassing a man and his friends.” my question is why they use the word “gets” instead got….what is difference between got knocked out and gets knocked out. I don’t understand the concept of using two verb side by side but one verb is past tense and other verb is present tense.

Hi Teacher.
Huuummmm i didn’t understand the example:
The horse’s hay is damp. – Singular (just 1 horse).
The horses’ hay is damp. – Plural
Well, i’m confused, for me is: The horses’s hay ARE damp.
Could you answer me ?
Thanks
Hi Reinoni,
Hay is an uncountable noun so we don’t add an ‘s’ to the end of hay. If the sentence was: The horses are damp.- we would use ‘are’ but because the sentence is referring to the horse’s hay and hay is uncountable we use ‘is’ instead of ‘are’. You can watch my lesson on Countable and Uncountable Nouns in English to get a better understanding of this.
Mam,i have a question that how about the singular word ends with an ‘s’ like BUS? what would be its singular possession?
Mam,i have a question that how about the singular word ends with an ‘s’ like BUS? what would be its singular possession?

Hey Valen,
Its really very nice work and I think your are in right way.

Dear Valen,
Your work is quite interesting and I feel you can further enrich by using table for total solution on the topic you undertake.I have worked for 40 years on classroom strategies for the easiest methodology.
I will be happy to share my original work with you on hearing from you.
Many thanks you are going on the right track.
Hi Teacher,
I’m confused, as you’ve said putting an “S” in a plural word is not correct like your example:
The men’s suits are black — wrong
The men suits are black — correct
But why i got wrong in my quiz answering:
The children teacher is very young.
Could you please answer me.
Thank you.
i think the ‘s’ was used to show the possisve of men suits
men’s suits mean’s suits are related to men
i am sorry for intrrept you andhe answer for ms valen
Hi Valen first of all i thank you for your lessons
and I have a problem with (long I ) AND(SHORT I)
SO WOULD YOU PLEASE MAKE CLEAR FOR ME MY ESL TEACHER COULDN’T ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

hey teacher
well i’m confussed :/
may be u forgot to erease ”is” for ”are” in the minute 3:12 because
i think we canot say ”the horses’ hay is damp” cause is plural
it should be ”the horses’ hay are damp”
i think you forgot to change ”is” for ”are”
or am i wrong?
and besides in the ‘test lesson’ i lost in the answer #3 because there are more than 2 people getting birtday and they have the same name :/ plz answer me back im really confused, i’m sorry about my grammar i hope you understand me :(

Dear Ma`am,
You referred to the words such as My, Your, His, Her etc. as Possessive Pronouns but that is NOT CORRECT cause they`re possessive ADJECTIVES as each of them describe a NOUN following them.
Please tell me if I`m wrong and I`d be glad to know your comment.
Best wishes,
Khosro
Hi Valen I’m Raju. I’m a regular student of your english lesson. Almost every day I watch your english language courses. Really I fall in love with your teaching style. Would you mind please if you make lesson about use of “in spite of” and “despite of”. I’m grateful to you. Thanks
thank you so much my best teacher , hi my name is Rany can I be your friend valen .
great lesson thanks
many thanks for your all lessons
wow your lesson it interesting! Can you please tell me how to download it
Great lesson, Valen. You made it a lot easier!
By the way, I think “my, your, his…” are possessive adjectives, not pronouns like you said.
I did the quiz and I had wrong, the sentense with the words “boy” and “children”.
My answers were boys’s and childrens’.
I don’t undestand. Could you explain me?
thanks
hi miss
i have a little bit confusion about the first sentense i put the word boy’s but that us not correct and the correct one is boys’ tell me why thanks i realy enjoying your classes.umer
Very nice teaching Ms Valen, i need teaching about writing.
I really appreciate persons who are making alot of efforts just to help other people who are in need for their help.Thank you
I really liked your lessons

Hi everybody
the lesson was great, and i have a question if someone would like to answer me, why did she pronounce “S” “SH” in the words apostrophe and street.Which pronunciation is correct. By the way i found Valen and James’s pronunciation more difficult to understand than the other teachers,
How about the combination thank you till the hell freezes over.
thank you
Thanks ,,,,
I would like to say Thank you Ms. Valen. i like your lesson.
Very clear, thanks a lot…more topics please!!!

Dear Valen,

Please reply

Hi Valen, I see the fine work you do here. Well, I’d like to take advantage of that by making a question concerning the use of apostrophes that show possession, can they be use for objects? this is an example: The buliding’s rooms. Is this correct? I thank you beforehand for your kind attention (I’m a student of English as my second language :D )
Are you sure that we add an apostrophe to the proper names which already have ”s” at the end? Because I saw ”Butters’ new shirt” (for example) They simply added an apostrophe to the end. Without double s.
Thanks for the video! I’d like to see more about grammar. Especially if it’s complicated. ;)
Your lesson helps me to know better. Thank you so much.
great one. Mam
I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU ( TEACHER VALEN)
MIS VALEN I WANT THE LESSON IN GRAMMER IT CALLED (A KIND OF A SENTENCES) YOUR STUDENT FROM LIBYA
thank’s very much your taught always clear for me thank’s a lot
hi you are very nice teacher
Thanks for posting these lectures.This helepd me a lot to improve my emglish. Truly great work…
Hi Valen actually I didn’t use this website a lote,
but I watched some of your vidio lessons and is good
but I like to speak with an amrican english teacher from chat or anything you can do.
and in my country doesn’t have those teachers
so if you can any time I will thankyou very much.
i enjoy ur lessons
Regarding possession and apostraphe’s — What about if you are trying to say that two boys own an item(s)?
Ex. The boys’s bedroom. or The boys’ bedroom? The boy’s bedrooms…
I have an ongoing argument with someone who has two boys! This comes up a lot and frankly, I’m really not sure how it’s written or said. I say it like a proper name, like the Charles’s pen example. Please clarify.
It should be
the boys' bedrooms, pronounced the same asthe boy's bedrooms. This is the same for words that end in -s (for example, if Charles is a surname and you’re talking about people from the Charles family, the plural would beCharlesesand the possessive isCharleses').hi miss valen thank you
hello,my name is malick from west Africa, i’m very fond of your wonderful lessons in english and that was my first time to see those commons expressions in english,let me wish all my congratulations for you!
hello I have a question Valen.khi we add s to s as from a word ending such as this sentence charles’s birthday is tomorrow.
I have a question about this sentence,”Tall guy gets knocked out by one punch after harassing a man and his friends.” my question is why they use the word “gets” instead got….what is difference between got knocked out and gets knocked out. I don’t understand the concept of using two verb side by side but one verb is past tense and other verb is present tense.
valen’s lessons are useful
Hi Valen,
You not explained when the plural name has s at end.
