hi rebecca, ur lessons are awesome, i understand each nd every lesson on engvid. the way of teaching of every teacher is very impressive. bt i have one problem, i understand all the lessons and also use them bt i really get stuck while speaking sentences fully. i normally speak punjabi bt when i try to speak english in a same way, i face too much difficulty on how to complete a sentence. i m very gud in my writing skills bt the problem is with speaking, understanding and using tough words . so can u help me?

Nice lesson Rebecca. However, it would have been useful to mention that an expression with ‘ago’ refers to a finished time, and is normally used with a past tense.

Thank U

Thank you Rebecca! It’s very clear explanation.
I like it and it’s easy to understand because of your very clear accent.

thank you sir .

thanks so much for teaching me, it is so useful for me because i understand that how to use the verbs ago / before

i m very thankful you rebecca for clarify my doubts.

Thank you so much

Hi,Rebecca
I’m a little bit confused about “Ago”
Here is it ” I moved to canada 5 years ago” Is it mean Now I’m not living in Canada anymore??? Well, “Ago” mean we are talking about the past ??
Thank you kidly.

Thanks. i did well the test.

Thank you Rebecca 4 all you’r doing here 4 us!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you !!:P

Hi, Rebecca.
And what about direct and indirect speech?
Example:
One year ago George visited his friends in Canada.
George said that one year before he had visited his friends in Canada. Is that correct?

Dear Rebecca,
Thank you so much for your great help to all of us who are learning English. Your teaching method is very accurate, that is why I like EngVid so much.

i am really happy today because i learnt somthing that very important. i could now distinguish when exactly i say ago or before?.
this lesson is really benificial to english students.

Hi Rebecca! Thanks for your lessons.I understood the difference between the two words. Can the word “before” be used for future tense also? For example: Please complete the work before I return.
