Can you teach more about if? And also words frequently used to describe statistics or any presentation on performance? You have been a great help!

I am confused when to use had, has & have. Even more confused why there is have had, had had…Any practical ways/rules to identify when to use it? To play safe I would normally use straight past tenses but there was a feedback from my American bosses that they cannot get my explanations clearly. Please help!

Love it. Greaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

I am very happy with you.

Fantastic!!!
Thank you very much I like your lessons so much

Hi Velan:
I love this video. You did a great job for selecting this topic to explain the sequencing words. I wonder whether I can add a comma after the words “first”, “next”, “then” and use it as sentence openers.
I look forward to receiving your reply. Thank you in advance for your help.

I’m really grateful to your team for these interesting lessons, and this, I think, is for two reasons – firstly, you have got the natives to teach and secondly, all of your work is absolutely free, which is immensely helpful to many learners who cannot afford.

thank you very good teaching

hi,I think your lessons are wonderful but
you speek a litte bit fast for learnes foreign people,in my case I am from Argentina, it’s hard to follow you not only the speech but also the explanation about the topic.
bye bye

Valen,
You are the best, thank you for your great help I will following these interesting videos.

don’t we have to put comma after first,… second,… ect.?

hi Valen you’re so great, and beautiful aslo………. allow me to ask you!!! are single?

First of all i congrate you for doing such a great job. Valen, your way of teacing is excellent.I listen you carefully.

hi. Valen urs lesson is realy helpfull for english learner. u done a great work

YOU ARE VERY PRETTY & CLEVER TEACHER SO I LIKE TO U

I LOVE VALEN!

Dear Valen
I like your teaching, but, first it was difficult to understand your talking about,after that my hearing is will.

Hi Valen. Thanks for your lesson.
It was helpful to teach childeren.
Thanks and sometimes your pronunciation is too fast so i can’t caught you i missed some words:( but it was very gooood lesson style~!

hi!where is my comment

Hi Valen.How are you?Well i really wants to say thanks.Your idomatic and new words i use in my daily routine life..Thank u so much.you really doing very well..

thanku very much

hola sabes explicas muy bien ose te entiende todo lo que dices y eres muy concreta al momento de explicar las cosas para mi eres una de las mejores

oo la laa

I have a question about the use of ‘preheating’.
In the video you writed ‘while the oven is preheating,~~’.
I think this sentence is a passive sentence.
If this sentence is a passive thing, ‘preheating’ is need to be changed to ‘preheated’. Am I right???
I think my question is a rambling letter, but please answer my question. I’ll wait.^^

hi valenESL
First of all I want to than you for this lesson .
this’s a very good lesson and I really happy ,but I’ve problem with writing and I need to write with I feel and I’m libyan .
In fact I don’t want just to copy stories or like this .
whit my wishes

Thank you VALEN, your teaching method is very interesting.

Whenever I finish writing my Uni assignments, thesis, essays.,etc, I always go to student assistant center to get my essay proofread before submitting. However, sometimes I can’t book for same tutor coz of the schedule. In that case I have to go to alternative tutor. When I get my essay proofread and get that fixed and cruise back for reproofread. Alternative tutor corrects where my prima tutor told me to correct. I was in a ping-pong situation, although, I didn’t tell them about this. All those tutors are either PhD or master’s degree students. I begin to hold question, what is the right grammars? Why essays have to be simple while there’re many books contain so complicated terms or jargons can’t even decipher the context. I think there’re certain degrees of English that people use which consisting from their perspective. Articles, plural forms, and past tense are obvious mistakes you can find, but when people write from their belief like how they select a word from synonyms or their semantics, and pragmatics then maybe difficult to point out the mistakes. What do you think?

your lecture is good

hi i wonder why u put a comma after finally and not after next and then

Hi Valen, thank you so much for your lessons and i want you to know that you’re a great teacher
thank’s a lot

i really understand that lesson thanks

could you tell me if we could change the lastly to a then and the last one would be finally

Thanks Valen. You are good teacher.

hi Valen! you are really great! well, I am using your videos in class to teach my students some English lessons. By the way, I am a teacher in Morocco (EFL teacher) I will be happy if I can get more videos about Passive Voice/ Reported Speech/ wish in present past and future. Thanks in advance

I love and thank you Valen

As always, you are the best Valen.
Thanks from Saudi Arabia.

good job!!

Thank you very much for such a good lessson.

hi valen to say u are a great person good luck

thank u valen u r the best

good video, but please explain me if there is any specific rule for the use of these sequence adverbs, ’cause in spanish they mean the same(after that, next, then), the order we use them in our language don’t change the idea of what we are talking about.

It’s fantastic!! Thank you so much

Fist of all take a contain. Secondly put the contain with soil. Next add it with water. Then wait it a few minutes. lastly the soil poured out with air. That shows you soil has air.

nice teaching, i like the way you talk and teach, its really nice and full of kindness

miss.valen: that is very best lesson
