Teacher Ronnie is really cool.
Thank you Ronnie.
yes she is cool and i like the she teach
Yes and i like her teach method
If i said “you gotta do some thing” it will be right ?
I think it’s not right
you must say “you’re gotta do something”
it’s right
you can’t say gotta after verb to be.
so You gotta … (without are )
i agree.gotta means going to but going to always go with gotta.because it is equal “WILL”
I think going to equals gonna not gotta
gotta means got to. If i’m not mistaken
actually you r wwong and kiro is right
you’re right !
yes you’re right
new but easy
I’d like you to tell something.I’ve been listening you and others teachers on engvd and watching the videos for past six months and I think that my english has improved much.Actually Ronnie you can’t believe that my morning starts off listening your’s and other teacher’s voice and night ends up with you too.I can feel that I am in a classroom and learning english with you.These videos and the explanation of everything you give is really awesome.I really appreciate your teaching..I wanna ask you one question-Is it possible to make a sentence in english without using a verb?And I wanna clarify another thing that is-Everything we think or do or say we must use a verb with a subject which actually causes that action and an object which receives the same.Doesn’t English work in this way?Because when I hear you ,I notice that whatever you describe or tell you use the action word alongwith the actiondoers.I’d like you to solve this problem because I can’t proceed ahead without clarifying it..plz I’m looking forward to your reply…
You cannot have a proper sentence without a verb!
Yes, you are correct~!
this is may be short comands like
ะtention!
Short response like: Yes!(without I do or it Is or somtehing else). But may be that is not sentence justy expression or phrase. May be there are some phrases without object only verb. Stay! Move! Down! Wrung Up! )))
Hi !
Ronnie isn’t it something wrong is this sentence please look up this paragraph again .
Dear ronnie,
i wanna ask you one thing shall i use wanna , gonna, gotta and hafta in my official mail.. pls advise me..pls
No – only in speaking or casual mail!
Hi Ronnie! I’m very happy to get chance to learn lotsa English lessons from you. I really like the way you teach us. I have heaps of questions to you. Some people told me when you sit for speaking and writing test of IELTS you can’t use wanna, gonna and gotta etc, Is that true? The another question is that English is my second language and I’ve been living in Australia more than one year and I love to watch English movies, For me which way actually is better to watch the movies, when I watch movie at home with the English subtitles or without. Can you suggest me please? I just wanna learn English because I wanna be a good English speaker, writer, reader and listener because It’s my dream.
When you do IETLS DO NOT use wanna, gonna, gotta!!! It is “slang”.
If you CAN understand the movies without subtitles, that is great but very difficult! I recommend watching them first with subtitles, then without!! Good luck!
The way you write for a learner impressed me. Your attention would be a gift for a beginner like me. Congratulations.
“Lotsa” I think also derived from “lots of”… Maybe
Thank you Ronnie for lesson
thank u very much for your lesson , it was awesome
hi mem ronnia how r u i really like this video about gonna wanna
but lital bit confussion
can i how to use it
for example: i wanna gotsa pizza
that is crect increct
You can say ” I wanna get some pizza”! Or I want “lotsa” pizza. Listen to the video again! You must keep the grammar rules but just change the pronunciation!
can i say ?
i wanna lotsa pizza
every video is very useful thanks lotsa :)
she is exactly a good teacher.
thanks
thank you teacher Ronie..
it’s really usful information, i heard it today …

Hi Ronnie, I really like your lessons and I’m happy that I’ve found this website :)
I have one question regarding this lesson … what’s the difference between gotta (have got to) and hafta (have to)?? I’m little bit confused :(
Thank you for your reply in advance.
Have a nice day
Gotta is quite slang, whereas have to is a little more formal!
Hi Ronnie, regarding to your answer just above, is “hafta” a quite slang compared to “have to”? And if yes, is it the same for all the others?
Thanks!
Yes, hafta= have to. It is not really slang, it is just how we say it when we speak really fast!
Ok, thank you for your answer I hafta train to speak fast English :)

But, i wanna ask. Is that sentences correct?
I’m going to draw = I am gonna draw;
or i must say
I’m going to draw = I gonna draw. ?
You have to keep the verb “to be”, so you have to say I’m gonna draw!
Hi Miss Ronnie!…Just in a moment, I was searching in google information about passive causative, because that’s the topic that I’m learning in this month…well I saw this page and I really liked but I have a doubt, when I use “gotta”, you said that it is used with “I’ve” right? but I’d like to know if “got” is the of “go” or “get”, I’m very confused, please help me with some examples…

Search on ENGVID for “conversation” – I have done 3 more videos to help you!!! Or you can just search my videos and you will find them!
hey ronnie!!i have a problem with my “s” words.i don’t know when i have to use “s” in a sentence and when i should not use “s”.for example :
you agree to be bound by the terms of license.
you agree to be bound by the term of license.
i have two cats?
i have two cat?
please include your easy example to make me more understand.tq for your help.
If you have more then one, you ALWAYS have to use “S” with uncountable nouns.
2 cats.
If the lease and only one term, you can say term of the lease. If the lease has many terms, you need the “s”!
tq for your reply ronnie =) …if u could make a video on how to use “s”,when to use “s” and when not to use “s” in the sentence that will be fantastic..
than not then teaaaaacheeeer!:-)
What the hell?!!Easy going!
Hi there,hope all’s well with u.,
By the way,did u pass IELTS?!If yes,how was it??In fact I’m gonna take part in too.

Ronnie I’d like to ask you for a lesson about the vocabulary for “going to the hairdresser”. I need to have my hair cut but I’m very afraid about how to explain what I want. Thanks :)
thanks my teacher ronnie.
Hi miss Ronnie i like your teaching way.
thanks and regards,
Ronnie is a perfect teacher,how nicely and clearly she explains The lessons,I appreciate your contribution,Thank u.
ronnie i like ur way of teaching , and i wanna learn more lessen from you …
Really ur a nice teacher,please suggest me how to improve my English, listening skills, speaking skills , and vocabs .
Ronnie, which sentence is correct:
The faith is something that keep us alive, or,
The faith is something that keeps us alive. Please make this clear for me. Thank you in advance.
“The faith is something that keeps us alive”. Faith is singular so you need to put an “s” on the verb. He/she/it all need an “s”!
Hi Ronnie,
This lesson is quite well. Can make more videos like this?
hi dear teacher
l really appreciate you tired for your videos.please Mrs Ronnie l need your help,l confused between pronoun (it) and(she/he-are used for animate) let me give you example
where is the cat? she is under the bed.
why we didn’t say ( it’s under the bed)??please help me.lam looking forward to your reply.thnks again
We can only call cats/pets by he or she if we know if it is male/female. We call animals “it”. However, when we have a pet, we think of it as part of the family so we call it “he or she”!
thanks a lot for your reply dear Ronnie,l appreciate it
I listened to song for Britney Spears : its name :” gimme more”
so: I wanna ask you and help me , please
“gimme more” like a meaning ” give me more”
I mean : ” gimme more” = ” give me more”
like :” wanna” =” want to” on this as.
the last thing , I wanna say it
in American English . the people say :” tryin” not “trying”
I mean: “V+ ing” in grammer but th American people say :”V+in” without “g”
I wanna thank you and James and Rebecca and all you.
for help and for learning. you are good woman.
Wow – please dont get your grammar or anything remotely to do with “English” from Britney.
Hi, I’m sorry but:
I say : I wanna or I’m wanna
that is in your questions
I know from ago : I wanna
thank you, the most wonderful teacher
You can only say I wanna. NOT I am wanna. You have to use “to be” verb with an adjective!
I love the way u saying must have like musta musta that’s cool u are a nice teacher Ronnie
Thank you very much. I am intersting.U are best teacher for me.

I really like your lession because of your method of teaching. i watched most of you lessions and i lerned lot better than school. i appriciate you and other teachers in Engvid.com Thank you very much.
i hope more to learn
Ramu.
Hello Ronnie. Thank you for this lesson. I think you are a great English teacher. I need a favor. Could you do a lesson about indirect questions. I donยดt understand them. Thank you for everything.
Very useful expressions, thanks ;)
“I wanna be a native speaker.”
is it correct ?
Undoubtedly
Thank You very much for your response. I don’t know who ask you this question. But I have dejavu like it’s me ))
So Ronnie I wanna ask you also ’bout outta is that means Out to?
it means out of
Outta = out of… I ran outta gas.
Hello Ronnie I really like the way you teach could you please make video about grammars?
I know a lot of things that I learned long time ago but I don’t really know when or how to use them, For example like:
1- The mirror has been broken
2- The mirror had been broken
What’s the difference between these 2 sentences and how do I use the both of them?
Also: was or were + the past participle how do I use this particular grammar and what’s it called?
Please I need some help I got so many questions and I’m looking for answers :(..
1= present perfect
2= past perfect.
Present perfect we use for a past event that was not routine.
Pat perfect we usually use with another action that happened in the past. Ex. The mirror had been broken after I smashed it.
was/were + p.p. = passive. We use this when we are most concerned with the action than the person who did the action.
http://www.engvid.com/easy-introduction-to-passive/
Hello
Well I think that and as far as I know that the first on
1- is not present perfect, We don’t include the word ”been” if we’re gonna use the present perfect
for example:
I’ve read that book once
is that true?
Hello Ronnie,
I wonder if the sentence I made below is correct in meanings and tenses:
When I woke up this morning, I said It was a long night that I had been dreaming about you or should I just use the past tense in that clause:
It was a long night that I dreamed about you, or It was a long night that I had dreamed about you. Because with the past perfect it happened when there are two actions, with one coming first before another action in the past. So in this sentence is the second verb ”dream” counted as the second action?
Could you give me the differences between which and what when asking questions?
Thank you very much indeed.
I was looking for English class at Youtube and I found You. I’m brazilian man, maybe the intermediate level. This is the first time I see so good english class.
Congratulations.
every video is very useful thanks lotsa :)
ms, i cant not understand can you gave me more quizzes
Hi, Ronnie,I’ve confused between shoulda(should have) and should have (it was pronounce should of) example I should have studied. Or I shoulda studied.which is correct.
Both are correct, but when native speakers talk very fast, we say shoulda!
Ronnie
You’re great.I loved your explanation.
Thank you so much
i must thank you
Beautiful Teacher
Really, engvid.com , is the best website that i have visited to learn english, this website make me not visit other websites for leaning english, i wanna thank all people who work in this website
Hi,Ronnie,
I don’t know what ” Clear the lulla!”means.
Can you help me , please?I found it in a lesson in an English book and I couldn’t find its sense.
Thank you in advance !
Adina
I have no idea, sorry!
ono problem
I know this this is slang word used for penis that’s the Urdu word….
Ronny is pretty cool. I like her really much. She explain the lessions very good.
hi bro i think you made a mistake didn’t you? cause you said: “Ronnie is pretty cool”. since pretty here is an adverb which means “quite”,”rather”, or “a little bit”..so i think you better shoulda said “extremely cool”.Am I right Ronnie?
by the way what I think is that there is a lot of mistakes made by people who translated english words and documented them in a formal way(dictionaries,translation programes..etc)..we should be aware for that.
finally thank you Ronnie for your leading information
Hi Ronnie!
I like you very much! You teach very nicely and I wanna tell you that I gotta haveta sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!! Haahahaha! :-)

Ronnie,how i can improve my pronunciation problem.Reply me
What do you have problems with??
your website is cool. I luv it!
i know the old word how to pronounce it but i don’t know how to pronounce the new age word like
….cache,bullshit like this.
ahahha! If there are words you can’t say, look on-line at a dictionary, they usually give you the pronunciation of the word in both British and American!
how would be -if i say.i gotta read lotsa grammar.
I’ll begin to think that Japanese language is easier than english!!! Why the hell you have to change pronunciations? Why we cannot make it simple and pronounce it according to the grammar? Now I know why I cannot understand people while speaking, but I’m good at reading, writing and speaking. However, thank you Ronnie for your lesson, you did halp me a lot, love you!!!
You are really great. You just explain the lesson in a very easy way.Thanks

can we write “wanna” or “gonna” in a texte or an essay, or we just pronounce it like this when we talk??

Hello
Can I write like
I’m gonna hafta sell my car.
You can only write it in informal situations! If you wrote in on a test, it would be wrong!
Your web page won’t render correctly on my iphone4 – you might want to try and repair that
Thanks teacher I feel so confident when i use this common with the native speaker. I hope i can learn much more in your web site, to improve and develop my English speaking.
Hi Ms. Ronnie. I have a question about using the word “gonna” instead of going to. Last night I talked to my husband and i used the word “gonna” and he corrected me. He said “Never in my life I use the word gonna”. According to him, it is not proper to use that kind of word and we had a fight just because of this and I tried to explain it to him coz that is what I learned from this lesson.But he said in north America they didn’t usually use the word “gonna” instead of going to!!! I wanna hear your opinion. Thanks.
Whoa! That sucks you guys had a fight! I use gonna all the time – never written, always spoken.
Yeah, It really sucks. And I was not satisfied I asked my ESL teacher tonight about the word “gonna” and he said “people who use the word gonna is kind of lo-so or low society and not that smart or didn’t go to school”. And then I realized not to use the word “gonna” anymore instead of going to. lol
It is so cool. I wanna learn negative Sentences as below. Should not have – shouldnยดt have – shouldnave..or might not have – mighnada..cos there are so many silent letters , d or t or h are gone..would, should, might, could , will, shall, or something, Can you tell me pronounciation of Linking of Modal Verb Nagative Sentences ? Thank you ,Dear Ronnie .
What you have written as examples are great!
cos I had so many problem..Itยดs kinda like Link of Modal Verb sounds
I knew all of words..might, should, would, whatever , But I can not recognize the words which I have already known or leanrt..This is Probelm..I can not catch the sound ” not “,, cos They do not say
” not ” but also na, or da,,wouldna, shouldna,, or shouldnave ( should not have ) wouldnave ( would not have ) Do you have any Rule about this negative sentences sounds ? It make me crazy.
Not really….sorry!
thank you for rave information
Ronnie you are very cool, I like learn english with you, thanks
Ronni you are a good teacher,your way of teaching is very good.Actually,today i have opend this site 1st time.i want to learn eng by you,pls guide me from where should i start?

We rarely use proper English grammar “have gotten”. We ignore a lot of grammar rules when we speak!

Hey teacher, Thanks a lot for your classes, I don’t know if the theme is closed, but, I need to know if in a job interview it’s better to use “gonna” “wanna”…for sound more anglo…or is much better to use “going to”, “want to”…or both of them are good?
Thanks for you time!
see you later…
Never use gonna/wanna/havta in a job interview! They are only for slang or when you talk very quickly!
In this video you could add part of films where use this expresions. :) bye.

HI GUYS I WANNA IMPROPE MY ACCENT CAN YOU HELP ME THANKS skype ilyesking5
thanks a lot for these amazing lessons
Yes, native speakers really speak fast and kind of ยซeatยปsome words. I have a channel about Foreign Languages, feel free to visit. Just search on youtube: Nelson Lino. Thank you!
Actually it”s not quite clear for me if “gotta” stands for “got to” or “have got to”. And so, do you say “I’ve gotta go” or just “I gotta go”?
And what about the 3d person singular? He gotta or He’s gotta?
Thank you!
It just stands for “got to”, but when you’re using informal English like this, you can leave out the “have” when you’re saying “I gotta go.” But you have to have “have” in third person singular: “He’s gotta go.”
great !
Hello Ronnie
Do you give privet lessons online ?

Dear Ronnie.
Thank you a lot for your lessons. May I ask you?
If I can use “have got to” instead of “have to”, are they equal? What difference between “gotta” and “hafta” in the use?
4. “I’m _________ have to sell my car.”
I’m GONNA have to sell my car?
Is it correct? Maybe “I’m gonna sell my car”?
are we can use gonna and gotta …etc in writing
And Is it considered formal language
Hi teacher Ronnie
Can we use these three words in British English ?
Hi! Ronnie, well, I just wanna give you a congratulation, because you’re such an amazing teacher. I’ve saw all your videos and you look awesome lately. well and can I ask you a favor?… please tell what’s the difference between MAY and MIGHT. I think that those words can be use like CAN. Am I right?

Hi Ronnie.

I have a question.
in movies, I hear this sentences a lot, realy a lot. ” I gar it “.
it must be ” I got it “.
but i don’t know, it’s a slang or a prononciation thing, or I have to see a doctor for my ears. lol
