      Hi Alex,

      Thanks for your lesson. I have question.

      what does the sentence really mean
      ” we cannot afford to miss it.”

      please help me on this. I’ve googled it, but couldn’t find a satisfied answer.

Friday, January 18th 2013Reply to this comment

thanks Alex, I study English at College and when we learnt the superlatives our teacher didn’t know the difference between both, also she said that “further” isn’t superlative of “far”, thank you a lot for your lesson.

Friday, January 18th 2013Reply to this comment

    Your teacher was correct. The superlative is “farthest” or “furthest.” :) “Further” and “Farther” are comparatives.

    Wednesday, January 30th 2013Reply to this comment

I think I could go a lot further than Messi in his career.

Thanks a lot , you help me to understand english easily. I Would like to know how to difference verbs in past . I have problems with the sounds ,ending ed :t,d,id sounds

Friday, January 18th 2013Reply to this comment

I’ll leave here my little secret. It’s really hard to know when it’s further- figurative distance whether farther- physical distance.
*
I think like this:: farther is almost like the word FATHER. You don’t want any “physical contact with your father. You want physical distance kkkkkkkk Brazilian laugh), so if you assimilate farther with father you’ll remember that it means physical distance, then it’s easy to figure that further is the one that means figurative distance.
*
It may seem stupid, but it was how I got 10 out of 10

Saturday, January 19th 2013Reply to this comment

Thanks Alex.
what is the difference between talk and walk and between special and private?

Saturday, January 19th 2013Reply to this comment

    To talk is to speak.
    To walk is to move with your legs.

    I’ll let you use a translator for the other words. :)

Saturday, January 19th 2013Reply to this comment

Dear Alex!!! Thank u so much for the lesson. The question i would like to ask u about meaning and proper using the phrases like “here we go” or “there we go” (and sometimes is “here you go”). I think they are very important and useful. I’ll be really appreciated if you have an opportunity to reply

Saturday, January 19th 2013Reply to this comment

    Use “here we go” before you start doing something.

    Use “there we go” after you finish something.

    Good luck!

    Wednesday, January 30th 2013Reply to this comment

Thank you so much, I didn’t know what the difference was!!

I got 100%. But, could you explain the difference between make, have and get ? At school, my teacher said only“this three verbs means pressure, that’s to say someone is restrained to do something.
For examples: – This teacher made us laugh. We were made to wait for hours.
-The management had us sign ten documents.
-If only she could get Mike to dance!

Hello, can you tell me which sentence is correct?
They hadn’t got any further with the work. OR
They hadn’t got any farther with the work.

Thanks you

Monday, June 3rd 2013Reply to this comment

I understand how these two words are used.
I could guess what a figurative distance means, but I’d appreciate it if you could put ‘figurative’ in another word. Thanks!
