Thanks a lot! It’s very useful!
my score was 8 of 10…….
It is a very useful lesson but at the same time it is very difficult for many people like me, because when you speak with a native English speaker it is so hard to hear the difference sounds between these words and others as well. Thank you very much
10 out of 10… By the way, there’s a misspelled word in one of the sentences. Think it was “We owns” instead of “We own.”
I think it’s “We own” instead of “We owns”.
We use “s” at the end when it’s SHE, HE, or IT. With WE, THEY, YOU, and I, there is no added “s” at the end.
this has no such word as “owns” instead own.
great tutorial!thanks!
please Alex make the lesson about “ain`t” again! i`m begging u))
You can be a professor
Thank you

Hello Alex, thanks for the class, could you put the Pronunciation of the irregular verbs.
Hello, could you please advise me about the next sentence?
He has joined the team since 1990.
is it correct to use since with the verb to join? it only can happens one time and can’t be continuous…. Thanks in advance for your help
helpful lesson sir. thanks lot.
Hello Alex, thank you for your pretty intersting and very helpful video lessons.I like your lessons,you are awonderful teacher.
Thank you Alex
Hello Alex!
I hope, now I can improve my pronunciation of these two sounds. Thanks for the lesson.
I also have another question…
One of the meanings of “get” is “become or start to be”.
I feel confused about the expressions:
get plus adjective (for ex. get dark).
On the other hand we say “become older”
Can we also say “become dark” and “get older”?
I guess, there’s no rule, but maybe there’re some tipps, when we should use “get” and when “become”?!
Could you clear it up?
Thanks you in advance.

Hello professor Alex
My name is Joseph
Thank you for this beautiful lesson
I learned a lot from this lesson
Is it correct? We owns a pair of pink PANTS. We own but not owns, right?
and
He’s a generous MAN.
* A
* E
man is a singular so it should be A and plural should be MEN = E
thank´s man – Obrigado

Thank you
10 out of 10 tanks teachers for yours all videos
my score is 8 of 10
Seems like right answers are already in the words.))) That`s why it wasn`t really a good qiuz. I mean, when you look at the words in the sentences (written with capital letters) the vowels in the middle are the right answer. So you just choose it! )))) Am I right?
That1s why it was easy to score 10 of 10.)))
thanks,lovely lesson

Thanks it is very useful. This is similar to a the science of “Tajweed” which is a set of rules which dictate how the Qur’an, the Holy Book of Islam, should be read.It is very interesting to compare between the principles of English pronunciation and the principles of “Tajweed”. You will find a lot of similarities. Thanks

Hi Alex. Would you please make a lesson to explain the sound difference between fool/full pool/pull food/good ?
In IPA they are different but I’d like to confirm with you. Thanks.
Hi everybody !!
I kindda found a trick to pronounce man/men bad/bed land/lend differently so I would like to share with you and if possible receive Alex’s opinion.
It’s about pronouncing the “A” in “man” as if it was to letters. E and A. So we would pronounce meh-an beh-ad leh-and in a very brief way.
I hope it’s correct and that you find it useful.
CAN YOU HLEP ME
WHETH DIFFEFNT BETWEEN CAN AND COULD
