WORTH
***value / benefit of something***
- His suit is worth $400
- This phone isn’t worth $200
- It’s worth it
- It’s not worth it.
- He’s /she’s not worth it
I got 10/10, but I have two questions concerning the quiz:
1.”I paid too much for this thing. It __________.”
If we are talking about present benefits, can we use either “isn’t worth it” or “wasn’t worth it”, or we have to watch for the tense used in the previous sentence?
2. “It is worth seeing” — Can we use “of” (or any other preposition) after worth? — “It is worth of seeing.”
3. I have also a question about “had to”. — Can we say “I had to did this?”, or if we use “had to”, we have to put a verb in the simple form, in this case “do”?
4. Is there any difference between “my friend” and “friend of mine”? Can I use them interchangeably?
5. And the last one concerns “go home”. I know that people say “go home” not “go to home”, but with all other locations they use “to”. Can I use “to” with “home”, and can I drop it with other locations? For example “go restaurant” instead of “go to restaurant”?
thanks Alex i don’t know why people in canada and USA they are interestned in watching movies in theatre you can watch any movies HD and 3D in HDbits or CHDBITS for classic movies cinematik and KG without paid any money you said 50 dollars for 3D movie that’s too much
Hi Alex!
I think that for the third question more right answer is the third one:
“She makes a lot of money, but she has no time for her family. It is worth it.”
Really, money is worth very much nowadays for every family!
Thank you for the lesson!!!!!

Lounis
Alex excellent Job! when you have some available time I would like you to review the following expression ( due to due to the fact because of)
Hi Rafael,
These are all cause and effect expressions. They basically means “as a result of.” Examples:
Due to the fact that you came late, you can’t enter the classroom.
Due to coming late, you can’t enter the classroom.
Because of coming late, you can’t enter the classroom.
As you can see, there are some verb changes, but the meanings remain similar.
Thank you Mr Alex for highlighting the issue !
Thanks

Hi Alex, I appreciate the way you manage this lesson, it’s clear, simple and very useful. Of course it’s worth it pay attention to you.

Please correct them if it’s necessary.

I got 10/10, but I have two questions concerning the quiz:

Hi,
the answer to your fifth question is in this video: http://www.engvid.com/6-ways-to-use-go/
Rebecca explains everything about using the verb “go”.
Thanks for the vid, but I didn’t find the answer there, but it gave me some ideas where to look, and I found this:
– “It’s because “home” as in “go home” is an adverb, and adverbs don’t take any prepositions.”
The lesson surely worth it!:)
But i’ve got a question: What is the part of the speech?Is it an adjective or a noun?
Hi Alex …..
can we use DESERVE Instead of WORTH?
Thank u for your lessons
You can say: “You deserve it.”
Hi moawia,
“Deserve” and “Worth” are two different words and don’t share the same meaning.
“She deserves to get the job!”
“It was worth it for her to take the job because now she’s making a lot of money.”
Thank you Alex
Very useful lesson Alex, thank you!
I’d like to know if “worth” must always be used with “be” or constructions like “this suit could worth $400″ with a modal is right too.
Dear sir ,
i am from Jordan ( Middle East ) , my mother tongue language is Arabic , can you help me to enhance my English .
Thanks alor
What do you do to improve your English?
thanks Alex i don’t know why people in canada and USA they are interestned in watching movies in theatre you can watch any movies HD and 3D in HDbits or CHDBITS for classic movies cinematik and KG without paid any money you said 50 dollars for 3D movie that’s too much
thanks
Thanks Alex! It’s worth it!!
Hi Alex!
I think that for the third question more right answer is the third one:
“She makes a lot of money, but she has no time for her family. It is worth it.”
Really, money is worth very much nowadays for every family!
Thank you for the lesson!!!!!
wow! i liked it! thank you very much! such a useful video!
Alex I have a doubt about it.
If I say : It worths 10 dollars , Is it correct?
That is incorrect. You have to say “It’s worth 10 dollars.” You can’t say “worths.”
Dear Alex, could you explain more about the 2nd and the 9th quiz for me?
This is very helpful lesson. It’s worth is lifetime.
Thanks teacher!!!
Thank you so much

Thanks ,and warm greeting from Saudi Arabia
Thanks a lot for this quiz!
Thanks! Alex, could you give me more example,please? I think I need to practice more.
Basically, if something is “worth it,” it either has a good price, value, or benefit. If it isn’t “worth it,” it’s the opposite.
“I can’t believe I paid $15 to see The Clash of the Titans in 3D. It totaly wasn’t worth it.”
“You want me to work for 10 dollars an hour in a factory? No way. That’s not worth it.”
Thank you all , i appreciate all effort you made for this

Hi Alex,
I got an office job. And i really have tough time sending emails when using IN & ON.
I know the general rules about in (inside) on(on top of something)
But when i use email, is so confusing for me to refer something with in or on.
For example.
you can find that message in the RPC programm
or you can find that message on the RPC programm??
in the file?
on the file?
etc.
i wish i could see some videos dealing with business terminologies.
Big hug from Canada.
Thx for the lesson Alex. I have one question to the first quiz task. Can I also say “I paid to much for this thing, it isn’t worth it.” instead of “it wasn’t worth it”. Maybe I bought it 2 years ago but now I recognize that I paid to much.
