Hello, thank you very much ….your lessons are cool
How we use “listen” and “hear” in past and future ?
take care

Wednesday, March 3rd 2010Reply to this comment

    In the future tense, you can say “I will listen/hear” or “I am going to listen/hear”. In the simple past: “I listened”, or “I heard”. (pronounced like “herd” – the “a” is silent).

Hello, you are one of my favourite teachers. I am from Brazil and I am writing just to thank you for the great lessons. I am learning so much
I would like to do (Or make or…I have a question about it) a suggestion: Please, upload lessons on possessive case, it would help me and so many people.

Thanks for every lesson. May God bless you!
Your sincerely,
Valldecy

Thursday, March 4th 2010Reply to this comment

    Thanks Valldecy,
    You can say “I would make a suggestion”, or “I have a request”, or “Could you please make a video about…”
    I’m so sorry but I don’t understand what you video you want… I don’t know what you mean by “possessive case”. Could you please give me an example so that I can help you?

I have a question. When we talk on the phone, the other person can ask like this: ” Can you hear me (what I am saying)?” I think we concentrate on talking on the phone. Then why do we say like that?

    Keep means to remain. Eg.. I will keep this apple for 3 days. (The apple will remain for 3 days).
    Put means to place or position something somewhere. Eg.. I put the apple on the table. (I placed/positioned the apple on the table).

    Put or keep … whats major difference??

    What if I write ” We should keep a complain box in all police station”

    Or should I write ” We should put a complain box in all police station”

    Sunday, August 21st 2011Reply to this comment

      Keep means to have something already there and not remove it.

HEY RONNNIE,hye,,need ur some help,which sentence is More preferable,I am hearing to you,Or,I am listening to you

Sunday, August 21st 2011Reply to this comment

    I am listening to you

    Monday, August 22nd 2011Reply to this comment

      but whenever,usually we taLK ON PHONE,if we cant hear the other person,they usually ask r u hearing me,even if we r concentrating on what they are saying,then y they prefer to use,r u hearing me?

      Tuesday, August 23rd 2011Reply to this comment

        All the time it happens…

        Sunday, September 18th 2011Reply to this comment

        Well,actually when we talk on phone,we’re sending sounds,so the talker says:”are u hearing me??” means are you receiving my sounds? and when the talker says :” are you listening to me?” here the focus is on the inforamtion and the speech he is giving to you.
        Bievely,as Ms Ronnie said,listening has to do with concentration,and hearing has to do with sounds regardless its meanings.
        i hope that my sharing was clear and helpful!!

Hi Ronnie!
Thank you for the lesson.
I have a one question. What about poetry? Do we listen to the poetry or do we hear the poetry? I remember that once I faced with the phrase “I heard the poetry”. Is it an exception? Or we just don’t pay much attention to the poetry? :)
Is there any other exception?

Sunday, December 4th 2011Reply to this comment

Hi Ronnie, your videos are excellent, I have a little trouble with verbs wich need “to” to work, Could you do a video about that? It would be very useful for me. Thank you
