    Here’s an advice: try role-playing. For instance, get a good movie on DVD, set the language and the subtitles to English (or better, get the movie script off the Internet), and try speaking as actors do. Then, when you’ll know whole dialogues by heart, try ‘acting’ the scenes as naturally as possible. Remember to turn the subtitles off, or you’ll end up looking at people’s feet in everyday’s life! ;-) Joking…

James you’re cruel, how can you say : “you should always were condom”, what is my pewe:))sausage. Well you know I’m kidding, I always were at least one in my wallet. For me (you’re the best means redundancy) so I shall say just you’re James, and I hope you will post in a lesson, something about will and shall. You shall do this because many people make promises without knowing. I will watching you:d

Hi James,

That was excellent.

I am actually having problems with: Modals of Deduction…any help or lesson would be great.

Sunday, March 28th 2010Reply to this comment

James, where is the quiz? It’s a good example of deviation of expectation, haha. You’d better prepare a quiz, when you say that there’ll be a quiz. :) you shouldn’t joke about it !

Tuesday, March 30th 2010Reply to this comment

Wow, I liked that so much… Specially because I teach English here in Brasil, so it’s very helpful for me when I have to prepare my classes!!!

Thanks!!!

your examples are amazing!!!! COngratulations

Sunday, April 4th 2010Reply to this comment

Hi james, your lessons are really exciting. I have a question: is this sentence right or wrong? “In English, modals are used to express possibility” I think it should be “In English, modals are used to expressing possibility”.

Tuesday, April 27th 2010Reply to this comment

    well on general terms its the present simple tense. Its used this way over and over (Present simple = repeated actions or habits)

where is a quiz? :O

Monday, December 20th 2010Reply to this comment

I learned that when I talking about peopIe, I could use “She” (for female) or “He” (for male). When I talking about things, I should use “It”.
This expression you wrote “You’d better take drink. HE will kill you!”, according I learned, is wrong . Can I substitute “drink” with “He” “as in your sentence?

I AM NEW HERE AND I THINK YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER JAMES, KEEP IT LIKE THAT

Saturday, April 14th 2012Reply to this comment

Hi James, it’s nice to meet you!
I’m a newcomer at this site and I find it very helpful. So far I’ve watched about 30 of your short lessons and I really like your style of teaching, basically your easy to understand explanation and interesting examples + illustrations (you are really good at them) + impersonation that makes me feel like I am really sitting in the front row of that classroom, like I really am your student.
The only request to you would be to give examples to each case you mention the particular word is used in. For instance, if you say that modal verb SHOULD is used both when it’s a right thing to do and when there’s a deviation of expectation, then, please, give us a sentence to each situation.
Thanks for your attention!
Helen
