Professor Alex, you are great! Thank you so much for your lessons! I’ve always gotten confused with those doubled letters, and now it’s very clear to me! I’ve been studying english for many years, and I was never told about this rule nor about ordering adjectives (another great lesson!). Hope to hear more from you!

Hello Alex,

Why do you use ‘is’ instead of ‘does’ to form your question at 1:10?
Great video though. Looking forward to your answer.
