you are awesome!
may I ask you about “a”?
do you pronounce “а kid” like “a (cAr) kid” or “a (cAt) kid”?
cause we learnt at school “a” as “a – cAt”. Is it British or just incorrect?
thank you very much,
best wishes :)

Friday, April 15th 2011Reply to this comment

Hi
thank you very much for this lesson. It’s been very useful.I have a concern about a sentence that you you said: “I was raised” why some people say i was raise and not raised. Are you allowed to put the two verbs in the past like was raised? and can we say I did eat or i did ate. I hope that yu can help me with this confusion. thanks

Tuesday, April 26th 2011Reply to this comment

    Hello!
    In this sentence, I was raised, “raised” is an adjective. When we change a verb into the p.p. and use it with was/is it becomes an adjective!
    We cannot say did ate – as did (do) is an auxiliary verb. We change the do verb to past and keep the verb in the base form!

hello ms Ronnie ..how are you ?
when I say …I was brought up in Toronto ..
it means I left Toronto and for example now I’m living in Otawa??????????
please reply
thank you

Saturday, May 14th 2011Reply to this comment

    Yes, if you say I was brought up in a city that means you went to elementary and or high school there. Most Canadians move to another city if they go to university or college.

ronnie pls tell that cant we use “grown up”

Monday, October 10th 2011Reply to this comment

    Grown is the past participle of grow. So we have to use “grown up” with present perfect. Eg.. I have grown up in Canada.

Friday, December 16th 2011Reply to this comment

Hi Ronnie! I don’t understand clearly between “raise” and “rise”! thanks so much! nice day :)

Saturday, December 17th 2011Reply to this comment

    “Rise” is an intransitive verb and “raise” is a transitive verb.
    Intransitive verbs, like rise, do not require an object. “Rise” does not require an object to do the motion. E.g., the sun rises every morning; she rose from her nap around 2 o’clock. The sun is rising on its own as did the napping girl.
    Transitive verbs, like raise, require an object. “Raise” requires an object to cause the motion. E.g., she raised her hand to answer the question; She raised the girl up onto his shoulders. The girl moved her own arm to answer the question and physically lifted the child onto his shoulders.

    Raise is a regular verb: raise, raised, raised

    Rise is an irregular verb: rise, rose, risen
