Dear valenl,
thank you so much for your videos.
my doubt is when to use be, have, do, auxiliary vebs
esp when to use them and how to form tenses and questions using these auxiliary verbs.
for instance:
Present Perfect
FORM
[has/have + past participle]
once thank you so much & “God bless you”.

Hi Valen,
Thank a lot for this video. You are amazing. Has anyone said that you are one the most beautiful women in the world? I am sorry if it seems that this type of talking is irrelevant here. Wishing you very good luck.

Thanks for your lessons. I’m from the USA teaching adults English in Slovakia! Is there a way to save the videos so I can show them in a classroom that does not have an Interment connection?
Also, Valen, were your parents big Van Halen fans? Hopefully the “Old” Van Halen with David Lee Roth and not the “New” Van Halen with Sammy Hagar! : )

Thanks
Hello Marco Arancibia,
Your question is really very interesting. I’m curious does really exsist any adjective
with one, three or more than three syllablles and ending with “y” ?
This lesson is for the beginners (me included) and not for the smart asses.

pllease help us
thanks
koug
thank you nice teacher so i getting good way with your videos
Bong
Very informative. Thanks a lot.
May I add, if I am not mistaken, that one syllable adjectives already ending with an -e preceded by a consonant, the comparative is formed by adding -r only. (e.g. wise – wiser, late – later)
Also one syllable adjectives ending with a consonant x or w and silent consonants, doubling these consonants are incorrect. Add -er to form the comparative. (e.g. new – newer, lax – laxer)
tarig
thank you so much , for these efforts
Patricia Carrillo
The explanation is clear, but the teacher keeps saying continent instead of consonant.
