I don’t know how could I leave a comment without reply anyone. Sorry about that.
I have a question, what is the difference between “whole” and “every”? Becuase I thought that “whole” meant a complete grupo as “every”.
Your videos are excellent, thank you in advance.
Whole means: the WHOLE pie.
But every mean: every pie individually in a group!
All of the people on engvid fond of u mr/James

Hi
All the time I have found good lessons in this website, for that reason I think that everyone should go to visit this place.
Thank teacher
thanks for your lesson.it’s very interesting
Not good..unable to understand properly. when to use or not
i apricet u. thank u keep cary on
Thanks a lot James. It’s a very good lesson. I’d like to download it for my students.
Can I know whether you are teaching British English or American English
Actually, James is Canadian. This means most of the expressions and grammar will be from American English, but sometimes the spelling of words will be British.
how can i check the mistakes!!
Please take the quiz again. There was a problem earlier, but it is fixed now.
i learned a lot from your lesseons.
thanks james.
hi,may i know where can i find the lesson which is teaching about “when can we join every with a noun and leave a space?” thanks in advance
Hi, james it was really great, everytime i enjoys your lesson.Thanks
Could you please make a lesson or just explain me the difference by reply abouts the words-
tend to and intend to
these words confuse me always. Waiting for reply
thankyou very much
Hi Amy. James is busy, but I can answer this question for you. These two expressions ‘tend to’, and ‘intend to’, sound very similar, but they have different meanings.
tend to – This is used to talk about something you do often. ‘tend’ here comes from the word ‘tendency’ — like a habit. For example: “I tend to bite my nails.” or “Amy tends to comment on James’s lessons.” or “The teacher tends to wear black.”
intend to – This is used to talk about something you plan to do. ‘intend’ comes from the word ‘intension’. For example: “I intend to fly to Paris in December.” or “I intend to buy a car for my wife.”
Hope that helps you out.
Thanks James….:) Your lesson is so interesting and you are funny one :)
hi everybody!please,when did disappear all mark in quiz??now it is not comfortable to do.is it return??thank u!!!
There was a problem with the quizzes for one day. It should be fixed now.
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you have done a remarkable work . i was always using these two expressions wrongly whenever i talked in english language but now i corrected my mistakes regarding these two words . i hope you will bring us such lessons in future which will be very useful for us

I’ve heard that there is some way to personal learning english with some of the teachers from here, is that correct?
If so, then I’d like to ask James, does he teach a personal(may be by skype)?

hey 1 how can i change the nik name face ???
no comments about teacher James, he’s always ! great ! thanks !
NancyStela, we will be changing the way you change your picture on the site soon, by the end of October 2010. Please wait until then!
Hi James. I’m from Italy. Great your English Lessons ! I appreciate them in general. But I am a little confused about the differences between ALL and EVERY. I am a Math, so “All men are mortal” and “Every man is mortal” … is equivalent as “statement”. Hence, I would think that the difference is only grammatical but not in the meanings. But It seems to me that your exposition has got something of Mathematic. So, at the end, I’m a little confused …. Is your exposition a mathematical or grammatical exposition ?
Anyway, thanks a lot ! I really like your shows and they help me a lot.
Dear James
Greeting…
Really thanks
Great teacher you are, James! Congratulations!

thank my teacher for all lessons
I haven’t understood that lesson well, but I like it. Maybe after next watch I’ll understand :).
Best Regard from Poland.
Hi James…
i have a question about your exemple (8:54):
All people enjoyed themselves.
Everyone enjoyed …
You didn’t write on board..so..my question is: Everyone enjoyed themselves?? like first example?
obs.: Everyone is here… or even a part of a song: Everyone is someone in L.A…
I’m so confused right now…help me..
[You didn’t write on board..so..my question is: Everyone enjoyed themselves?? like first example?]
He said “enjoyed themselves, bla, bla,…”, which means so on?!?
I think so :)
Uhm,
Could you please explain what “obs” stands for?
By the way, my name’s Uy, from Viet Nam, nice to see you there. :)
My question is if “Everyone” is always used as “he/she” combining with “is”…and if “Everyone” combine with “itself” or “themselves”…
That is it! Did u got it??
See ya!
Dear EngVid,
I find your videos useful and it’s helped me a lot. Tks! :)
I would like to ask you a few questions. :D
In one paragraph, I read that in some cases native speakers prefer being called by name to being added an extra word – like “Mr” or “Mrs” before their names.
My old teacher, from New Zealand, used to call himself Michael. We thought it would be more polite to add “Mr” before “Michael”. :( We did so, and he was called “Mr Michael” during his time with us (a 24-student class)
Therefore, I was rather disappointed when I read about this. Can explain more clearly to me? On which occasion can I call one “Mr.” or “Mrs” ???
Tks once again!
Best regards from Viet Nam
Uy
Sorry, our dear teachers
Please you explain for me this doubt between using Mr or Mrs, or only your names.
Thank you so mach
Rosalino Rita

I’m hoping to understand difference between anything and everytging for example…” I love her more than everything” I love her more than anything…. I know how to use but I am not native speaker so I can not explain this to my friend

Could you help me with this one?
All children like to play with water.
All children, in my family, like to play with water.
The second sentence sounds weird for me.
Would you be so kind as to explain me why I
don’t feel it’s right?
Thanks in advance, James
i still dont get why “all the time” and “every time are not the same meaning
I very like your lessons!) Keep doing it!)
Here I go again!!
Question: Is it true there is a phrasal verb for
each verb?
Is the “each” correctly used here?
Thanks in advance
Thank you.
Thank you, James. Great explanation.
Hi there. I wonder if anyone could resolve this doubt: I’m trying to convert this sentence (this is where everything ends) with using “all”, and I figure it would be something like: this is where it all ends. However, I can’t find the grammar rule for the inclusion of “it” Does someone knows it?
Tkanks James for your lessons, you are really a good teacher and other your collegues shoud use your method in teaching english
Dear Sir.James,
Very nice lesson indeed. I was wondering if I might ask you a question?
Would it be possible to be pleased with a lesson on two words.
Let me explain presently: Anyone; Any One; Everyone; Every One; Everybody; Every Body. Be that as it may on web there is a strongly confusion. Pay my respect to you Sir. H
Hello James,
you talked about : All Of et All About
but there are All + the proposition FROM
could you please help us to understand the difference between All From and All Of ?
thx
Every time when I am watching your lessons, I learn lots of new things!
I improve my English skills all the time due to you are teacher with a passion!
I would like to ask you for lesson about Cleft sencence.
Thanks for lesson. I love it!
Thanks
Please tell me the meanings of tend to? And its usage.
What is the deference between Each and every? Sir
hi . can i use “everyone” instead of “anyone” in this tense :
“he loved you more than anyone in this world”
I’m confused “any” should use in negative and question tense why they used it in this form
All for whole and every for an individual, and all of them in groups, then I have understood the lesson but it would be necessary to see more examples reading and comparing them. Thanks a lot, teacher James from Engvid, a good explanation.
All of sessions that you present it are perfect
I got full score
Thank you James
How about the way to use everything and anything ?
Thanks James! Very happy to see you again.
Thanks for the lesson, yet I got 3 out 5.
Hi james,
how’ve you been.? I got 5/5. I’m jubilant ;)
I do like your sense of humour. I think it’s better than sour complexion of every teacher from my school.
I look forward to next lesson from you.
I hope you are doing well.
Take care.
Talk soon.
thank you Teacher James. I got 5/5.
