Do you know who ms. Rebecca is?She is our excellent English teacher.

Loved this lesson; but just to let you know that I heard people talking the wrong way. How this can happen?

amazing lesson thanks a lot.

thank you very much Ms Rebecca, I’ll take advantage of this useful lesson.

Teacher Rebecca you´re a great teacher, thanks for your wonderful lessons =)

thanks so much Rebecca for this important lesson….

yeah, wonderful lesson. now I know, thank you so much, u were great again as always.

It seems, if there is a way to do explaining wrong, you will do it.

(a) you address learners who supposedly aren’t fluent in English by constantly SPEAKING, instead of showing auxiliary verb movements on the board with arrows and gestures. You try to be informally chatty, inserting native speaker’s idioms (of which you are not even aware) and then even attempting to joke – droning on and on and on.
Of course, you might claim that “classroom English” is as much part of the learning as anything else, but this kind of flowing chattiness basically presupposes the level of knowledge on the part of your students that is beyond the primitive topics like indirect questions

(b) you never bother to DEFINE what you are talking about. You start using “embedded” (i.e. employing a quirky and non-standard term) as if everyone in the world knows what the heck this is about.

(c) Instead of saying “while posing a question involves changing the word order, indirect questions do NOT neet that, therefore they are SIMPLER” – you introduce a psychological suggestion, you order your students to FAIL on the psychological level by telling them instead that NOT doing something is MORE COMPLEX !
When it rains, put on a raincoat. When it does not rain, it’s much more difficult, because you have first to put your coat on, and then take it off.

(d) Correct teaching means not demonstrating errors. Errors must remain strange, stick out because they are unfamiliar etc.
When you need to demonstrate an error, you must do it in the way that makes it distinct, different (by any means – erasing it, crossing it out putting it in a different place on the board, not alongside correct examples etc) The first thing you do in the course of your explanations is show the error side by side with the correct sentences, thus making the student remember them together – you again psychologically program him to fail later.

Urrrgh.

best

it doesn’t work i watch it on Youtube ????????

I had answered with the wrong choice for the question 5 and 7 … i want to to understand if we have embedded question that mean we should late using (is , was or any personal pronouns ) in every cases or What ?

This lesson is very helpful in many confused asking situations. Thanks ….

Hello Rebecca, one more time your lesson has been very clear and easily to understand but it’s because you are very good at teaching and It’s obvious that you love your work.

Thanks Rebecca ,I really appreciate it.Thanks again for your time and efforts.my best wishes to you .have a good one.

Rebecca, thank you so much!

This is really helpful. Thanks for the lesson. But I still got one question about the embedded questions. If I wanna say for example “What would you do if your girlfriend slaps your face?” Is this sentence correct? Is the punctuation correct too? Thank you so much

I think it’s wrong to use a question mark in these questions.

Miss Rebecca! Your class is very easy for understanding! Thank you very much!!

Hi Rebecca,
Could you tell me, which sentence is correct?
1) Do you know who was the building built by? or
2) Do you know who the building was built by?
Thanks so much.

I am going to undertake the IELTS exam sometime soon and I haven’t been studying much because I get bored really easily when studying by myself. However, today I was really good, studied for hours and didn’t get bored and all I can say is – thanks to your videos! I get comfortable on the couch and watch your videos for hours. Great way to study!
