Hello, Rebecca!
Thanks for your lesson, but I have a question: what about situation when we say “Me too”? It is like using “I” as a subject. Please, explain it us.
Yes, we do say, “Me, too” or “Me, neither”, which is a bit of an exception to the general pattern.
The normal patterns of usage are what I’ve explained above. Thanks for your comments and all the best to you, Ashot.
wonderful website! It’s really helpful ;)

According to “CLIFFS TOEFL BOOK” after de verb
to be the subject pronouns must be used
for example
1.- It was she who called you
2.- Is it I you were looking for?
these are examples given by the book
I would like your comments on this please.
Interesting!
I think the first sentence is right ,but not the second one
thanx….itz awsum
Thanks! Happy Easter to everyone. Kiss!
Nice, lesson I´m happy to be a part of engvid.com, the best site for learning English
Great to have you on board the engvid express! My best wishes to you, bigboy85.
Great!! Thnaks for your lesson.
great lesson
‘She and I is going out.’
OR
‘She and I are going out.’
Confusing….Different hearsay
She and I are going out.
You are right, Alex. Thank you.
She and I are going out.
Mang , the second option , is the correct , because you have two people in the sentence , these two people are = we and as you might know , we say we are … look no matter how many people you have in a sentence , as long as you use I it will be always = we . Hugs from Brazil .
Thanks as always for your help, Ricardo. My warm regards to you and all your students in Brazil.
She and I are going out.
Thank you so much.
amazing..wow i got perfect score.thanks teacher Rebecca.
salam mis Rebecca
i have question
what is differrence between object pronoun, possive adjective and posessive pronoun
Hello Salam . I will show you the difference .
My
Your
His
Her
Its
Our
Their. these words are called Possessive adjectives.
Mine
Yours
His
Hers
Its
Ours
Theirs . These words are called Possessive Pronouns .
Now , I will show you a few examples in how to use both of them in English
Possessive Adjectives.
This is my car .
This is your car.
This is his car . Note , after a possessive adjective , you need a noun
Let’s take a look now , in how to use the possessive pronoun.
This car is mine .
This car is yours .
Observe , the possessive pronoun does not need a noun after it , it can be used by itself .
If I were you , I would watch some lessons about it on the internet .
Hugs from Brazil . I hope it help you .
tnx dear friend now i understand
You ‘re welcome buddy .
You are an amazing teacher, Ricardo! Thank you very, very much. Your students are fortunate, indeed, to have you.
It’s really easy.!

Thanks Rebbeca.
Thanks a lot Rebbeca.
thank you very much!!!!
this kind of lessons are very useful!! Greetings from Mexico…
thanks rebella the lesson was very clear!!!
Rebecca,thanks for the great lesson, I have a question regarding this sentence, Please call me when you get home! why there is using present indefinite tens for future.??
When we use a conditional word or phrase, such as when, if, as soon as, before, after, etc, we need to use the present simple tense in that part of the sentence, instead of the future tense.
For example,
When I come to London, I’ll call you.
If I come to London, I’ll call you.
As soon as I come to London, I’ll call you.
Before I come to London, I’ll call you.
After I come to London, I’ll call you.
In all of the examples above, we used the present simple tense in the part of the sentence with the conditional word.
We could switch the parts of the sentence around and the same rule would apply:
I’ll call you when I come to London.
I’ll call you if I come to London.
This seems strange to many students because in other languages the sentence would be:
If I will come to London, I will call you.
This sentence in incorrect in terms of English grammar.
So you need to get used to using the present simple tense in that conditional part of the sentence.
This is a really good question as we use these kind of sentences a lot, and therefore there are a lot of chances to make mistakes or get it right!
Thanks a lot for your intelligent question, sm. My best wishes to you.
thank you teacher rebecca.
thans alot
It is very good.Thank you very much.
Rebecca, I was taught in my grammar classes that the correct response to “who is at the door?” is “It is I”, because the implied response is “I a at the door.” ???
Well, no one really speaks like that in real life. So the much more common response would be:
“It’s me!”
My best to you, Lynda.
thank you
thanks for all
it was fantastic.
thank’s a lot for the interresting lesson
Hi Rebecca,
I am a great fan and user of Engvid.com. I would like to request a short lesson on reflexive pronouns and their uses. My students often ask “What’s the difference between I, My, Mine etc?”
Thanks for all your help.
Rashida
Thanks for your kind comments and for watching the engvid lessons. I will plan a lesson such as you have requested. My warmest wishes to you and your students, Rashida.
hey, rebecca ,
i have little difficulty in listening the english. what should i do?
There are books available that specialize in developing your listening skills in English. Try to borrow some from a library if you can. Start with simple materials and move on to more advanced listening exercises. If you are already advanced, you could borrow some TOEFL or IELTS books and follow the script as they speak, so as to connect the words with the way they are spoken by different English speakers.
I wish you all the best, Shahid.
Dear Rebbeca.
Thank you so much for your lesson.
good luck

My mife and I will be having wedding aniversary on December.. AM I RIGHT MS REBECCA? Pls correct me if iam wrong.. TYVM
I may be mistaken, but here my variant:
My wife and I are going to celebrate the wedding anniversary at December.
(wife and I = subjects + are coz it 2 persons, going to + verb = coz you already planned it, I suppose. for planned future use present tenses).
Sorry if I’m wrong. I learn English too.

Hi Rebecca
Thanks for your lessons.
Are the following sentences correct?
I will speak to you after i reached there.
Before i will reach there, i will speak to you.
please help me.which is correct:
Ronie and I ate icecream.
or
I and Ronie ate icecream.
Hi Rebecca – which is correct/
We were sitting in the room, she on the chair, I on the sofa
We were sitting in the room, her on the chair, me on the sofa
teacher, could you please teach us active and passive voice??? its too confusing!!
Rebecca,
Your lesson was well organized and obviously helpful for many students. As a foreign language teacher in the U.S., one of the most difficult tasks I have is getting students to understand their own language and how poorly most of them/us use it. Unfortunately, the answer to your last question is incorrect. In English “It is I” is grammatically correct but hardly anyone in America uses that form. “It is me” is simply the accepted spoken equivalent.
Phil: the correct form is “…she on the chair, I on the sofa” since “she” & “I” are refering to the subject “we” stated in the first clause.
Kumari: the passive voice happens when the traditional subject is either understood or unnecessary, so the direct object is turned into the new subject, usually by using some form of the verbs “get” or “being”. “My parents grounded me.” becomes “I got grounded” or “I am being grounded”. Everyone knows that “parents” do the grounding, so that word is not critical. What’s important is to whom it happened (not “who it happened to”). You can identify if a sentence is in the passive voice by adding “…by the man/woman” to the end of it and it still makes sense: “I got grounded…by the man/woman”. Also, if the subject is not the one doing the actual action or verb of the sentence then it is passive. “I got grounded”: if “I” is not the one doing the “grounding” then it is not the traditional subject and therefore must be passive.
Ecxellent lesson Rebecca, thanks a million

Please reconsider your “correct” answer to number 8 Although we Americans routinely use “me” after the verb “to be” it is not correct in formal English grammar.
Hi Rebeca, I have enjoyed your lesson today and i will like you to explain the difference between YOURS FAITHFULLY AND YOURS SINCERELY as i had on my exam and I had not knowledge of difference. Many thanks for your teaching as.
Hi, Rebecca! Are these correct?
“It was me who called.”
“That was Alex and me whom you saw.”
“It is us clerks who work hard.”
Thanks for your feedback.
100% yeah, thank you very much.
Hello Rebbeca,thanks for a usuful lesson.
