It’s really god.
Hello Ronnie,
I would like to thank for teaching us the way you do, that is “phat”. The more I check out your videos the more I want to learn. Anyway, I have been trying to find a pronounciation video on -o ending words but found none. I am italian by the way, and as so I found the way I say them all the way different the way them are ment to be said, they sound longer and I would say nicely. So here’s my request: Would you fancy doing a lesson on -o ending words?
Thans in advance..See ya Pacey!
its very good but death is noun
heheh This site is very good .
ur way of teaching is too good. thankyou for your lesson.
This site is very good today i am first time visit so i am very impresive

thank you teacher ! I learned alot .
so…
Die -> verb (past: died; present continuous: dying)
Dead -> adjective
Death -> noun

Thanks for watching!
Good luck!
hello Ronnie teacher. i learning all of you. I have question. which sentense is correct?
my cell phone is dead
my cell phone is dying.
Both are correct – one is past tense. (My cell phone is dead)
“My cell phone is dying” is present continuous – which means it is happening NOW!
Hi Ronnie,
I enjoy your lesson so much.
BTW, may I ask u something? If ‘my cell phone is dead’ is a past tense, then ‘why don’t we say ‘my cell phone was dead’.
If you say your cell phone was dead, that means that it died and now it is alive. This is past tense.
If you say it is dead, it is present tense, not past.
Thank you teacher. It’s good lesson.
hello runnie, thank u for the lesson pls am confuse on how to use “yours” e.g some one send u a greating message and u don,t want to repeat your self is “&yrs” do u want use or “and u too” pls i will be waiting for your reply. thank you
Yours means it belongs to someone: “That baby is yours.”
You can say “and you too” or “and you” — this is a way to reply if someone says… “Have a good day”. You can say: “You too!”
Hi Ronnie, your lessons funnier than my school and very enjoyable.After watch your lessons it is easy to remember all of these so I want to watch much more video plz…In fact , I need to IELTS vocabulary and I know there are a lot of students need it.Its only suggestion because you’re doing your best.Thank you.

Hello ronnie.
what is the difference bettwen a dog dead and a dead dog.
iam larun english
Ronny,
You are a good and funny teacher:)I always enjoy your lessons a lot.
Thanks.
Ok Aqui é para os brasileiros que estudam inglÊs por meio deste site.Primeiramente para usar dead antes da palavra dead tem que ter o verbo To be que são eles Is,Are e Am e já Died nao é necessario simplificando maiis ainda.Veja o exemplo abaixo;
Dead : Morto
Died : Morreu
agora tenha um nivel de ingles adequado para saber veja comigo.De acordo com a dica á cima vamos acimilar
Carmen is …. (Carmen está…)qual dos dois pode haver mais significado Carmen está morreu ou Carmen está morta.Então é isso aí pessoal.Se gostaram da dica publiquem á baixo e assim continuarei ajudando e se houver alguma dúvida,publique a dúvida em português e assim irei ajudar você satisfazendo o seu desejo de aprender inglês.Bons estudos
That comentary above is just for the brazilians students because have the translation for portuguese of the words “dead and died” is easier for us brazilians.RONNIE WE LOVE YOU.YOU ARE THE BEASTEST TEACHER OF THE WORLD UHUUUUU
