hi there . You don’t be worry , when you say with someone about something . It’s up to situation that they will know what you say with them …. i have met this case and I have asked my foreign teacher . Can i make friend with you ?
hi there , you don’t worry about that .. when you say a sentence then they will know what you say ( this is verb or noun ) .It’s up to situation of sentence …. beacause have very many countries said English , them hear very fast (even the voices are small )
Thanks a million Ronnie… I got what your teaching.. it’s very easy… I will wait another video…

hi
Hello Ronnie!
Your lessons are very helpful (I’ve seen all of them)und I’m grateful for what you do for all of us.
I have some questions, or it’s better to say, a suggestion.
I wonder if you could create a lesson about the differences between “start” and “begin” (and on the other hand “finish” and “end”).
I’ve looked up by a dictionary, aber the explanation there is so, “start means to begin…”
It’s a circle :(
It will be also interesting, if you explain, when we should use:
- finish + verb-ing/+to infinitive
- start + verb-ing/+to infinitive
- begin + verb-ing/+to infinitive
Thanks a lot in advance. I keep watching.
I meant, what is the difference:
- between “start” and “begin”
- and also between “finish” and “end”
Start and begin are the same but we usually use start in conversation. Begin seems too formal.
Finish and end are essentially the same but we use end to talk about roads, streets, lines.
Finish we to talk about tasks…I finished my homework. I finished the book.
now you two to mention it. What is the difference between finish and end up. I’m getting quite confused with this. thanks and kind regards
Finish means you stopped doing something. I finished my homework.
End up is the result of something. I ended up in Siberia.
thanks alot Ronnie
absolutely fantastic teaching by ronnie.. :)
thanks
thanks ronnie

hi your lesson is very good for me thanks .can you tell me what is mean (share)and(twitter)
Share and Twitter…..Twitter is a social networking site like “Facebook”.
Share (verb) means to give something to someone else. On Twitter and Facebook you share information.
u r great,thank u very much:)
Thank you so much for making a webside like this. Im from Norway, so websides like this makes it easier!!:)
Hi Teacher Ronnie Can u tell me how to post our pics in facebook and u are a great teacher i have ever met worldwide
Sorry I cannot explain how to post pics on Facebook. You can use the verb have/has but in North American it is more common to use the axillary verb “do”.
Ronnie, sorry to say, but you are making too much grammar mistakes. It is correct to write “auxiliary verb” etc. Don’t be angry, I’m just noticing all mistakes I can, and it is the best way to learn something. I wish you all the best
I meant too many mistakes, I made one too. . .
and one thing more i would like to suggest regarding a matter in question Tags can we write have nt it instead on doesnt it
Because of that, I prefer to say: ” sheet of paper”….lol
Thanks for the video, dear teacher!
Thanks Ronnie for informing me about this matter . 1 thing more i would like to suggest that can we use grand pa instead of granpa or grandma instead of gramma
Ronnie your teaching power is oustanding and a power that no one can win it .
Thank you

ssss .. shhhh ..SO it’s simple
thanks
Ronnie,
In my language Tamil Ronnie (Rani) means Queen.
You are really a Queen in English teaching.
Thanks
Ms. Ronnie you’re very effective teacher for me..the way you teach is very very cool not boring..and I can easily understand what you are saying.. ;) good luck
Dear Ronnie,
thank you for your lesson which was very clear. I have a strange request!! Would it be possible for you to make a video with all the letters of the alphabet? (spelling) I mean I’d like you pronounce them all once (a,b,c…z!) because I confuse the pronounciation of some letters and I’m not always able to understand the address email of my customers on the phone!!! (when they spell it!)Thank you for your help.
Hi Ronnie,
your way of teaching is sooo charismatic! I love it:-)
And I have a question regarding this lesson about “s” sound in the middle of words or in word junctions. For example, when people say “classroom”, it seems that they pronounce “clashroom”..? Is this correct?
It is not correct to pronounce classroom as “clashroom”. A lot of ESL students make this mistake because the “SSSSSS” is difficult to say for some people!
Also, a lot of times we say “s” like a “Z” sound – for example boys sounds like ” boyz”.
Dear Ronnie,
I really need your help! I mix up the pronunciation of some letters of the alphabet. It’s a big problem for me because I can’t write the names of the persons during a spelling. (I can’t write correctly their address email!)Please make a video about the pronunciation of the english alphabet!! Thank you!
Ok I will do that for you!
hi ronnie , i want to asked you a question . the “s” and “z” sounds in the end of word .Eg ” Lips –> lipz “. when we say fast . this ” z “sound hear like “s” sound . Is it right ? and Is this sound important in communication . when i said like that , do everyone understand ?
Hai! I hope my answer can give you helpful.
The sound of lips no /lipz/, is / lips/ because when the endings of the word such as p, t, k, f, th, we should sound the ending word is /-s/. If you want more clearly explanation, i suggest you can watch Emma’s video which is ” pronunciation S endings”.
Good luck.
thank you so much
Thank you so much Ronnie, I really like your lesson. I’m very interesting in Your explanation that make me easy to understand your lesson.
Thanks.
Cecilia

I’m really need to talk with no fear to be criticized. Please help
hi Ronnie , i want to asked you a question . the “s” and “z” sounds in the end of word .Eg ” Lips –> lipz “. when we say fast . this ” z “sound hear like “s” sound . Is it right ? and Is this sound important in communication . when i said like that , do everyone understand ?
Lips – sounds like an “s” all the time – never a “z”.
The basic rules are – if the END of the word is voiced = your throat vibrates you say it as a “Z”. (n,d,v,e,r) eg —pens, reads, goes, lives cars, sees, hears.
If it is unvoiced =your throat doesn’t vibrate. ( t, p, k, c, g.) You sound it like a “S” gets, bags, looks, stops, rice.
Hope that helps!
thanks so much …. i hope you have good many lesson
