It’s about a week that I can’t find the quiz anymore on the site.
please,could anyone help me out?
Please try again. The quiz was not working in Internet Explorer 9 for a little while, but it should now be fixed!
Thank you so much Rebecca and thank you so much to all wonderful teachers of EngVid
THANKS, TEACHER REBECCA FOR THIS USEFUL LESSON!!
Thank you for this lesson,
it was very clear !
I will try to use the identical pairs as soon as possible.
The Engvid team really deserves a lot appreciation from the students around the globe for explaining each minute parts of the language efficiently as well as easily.I have written a few sentences below using all the identical pairs.
1.Over and Over :I can still remember each story that my granny told over and over.
2.Word for word :Understanding an English native speaker word for word means being able to communicate naturally.
3.Day after Day :If we keep trying to improve our language skills day after day,no one not even the creator(GOD) can stop us from being able to speak naturally..
1000 thanks!!! Our teacher
thanks 4 teaching. again n’ again thank u Rebecca
hi, Rebecca. I have no words to describe your classes. you’re just perfect. thank you very much for your help. all the lessons on engvid are very important but, when it comes to idioms, slangs and expressions, they are even more important because by learning them, we (foreign students) can speak just like native english speakers do. and I am very eager to go to your country. today, I can’t but I think in the near future it will be possible for me to travel there. I’m from Brazil and I hope you come to my coutry as well. I hope you’ll enjoy it so much. that said, I just can thank you over and over. bye
oops… sorry for the coutry. of course, it’s country.
I have to tell her over and over.
We derived round and round.
She talked on and on.
I said her to stop again and again.
She calmed down little by little.
All in all I think she is made.
Day after day she fights.
I can’t tell you word for word what she says.

High probably ,” Let me finish ” is correct. Think such as; let me see , let me check, let me write your e-mail. To is unnecessary there.
thanks for all
It was really usefull
Brilliant Lesson Rebcca
great thanks for this lesson.
Thanks a lot, Rebecca, for your clear video.
I have a question about one sentence in the quiz to be done after the lesson. The sentence is the following: ‘Day after day she looked after her aging parents, but she wouldn’t have had it any other way.’ Actuallualy, I can’t catch entire meaning of the part after BUT. I understand that here there’s the conditional: type 3, BUT so what. The two parts of this sentence don’t meet each other for me for the time being.
Could you be so kind as to explain me what’s the matter? L
My looking forward…
Best regards,
Rouslan

DEAR SIR
i have a little prob on the usage of ”where”..i know how to use it with all other ways besides this rule please help me..
I wanna know how to use ”where” with these words and what the grammar rule is..pls give me a few examples of your own ones..
1 Due to the volume of emails we receive we are unable to respond to the emails where the answer can be found on our web site itself
2 If you have gone to a website where you have to create an account for yourself..
3 This procedure should be followed in cases where dishonesty has been alleged.
4 I heard a strange noise from the upstairs where the children were playing.
5 There is a stage in life where you can’t even hold a cup of tea.
Thanking you
Roystan
Great teacher you are! You not only explained us the meaning and situation using the adjective pairs or identical pairs but also the emotion in the sentences.
A: ‘ You tend to talk on and on , but only 2 hours I slept last night. I do hope your coming speech is short and sweet, don’t you? ‘
Averting from col for a while, I rushed into a restaurant . How nice and warm it was! I was going to order and have my lunch here comfortably, but the lady in next table was talking so loud , more terribly , she seemed to go round and round. I checked my bill and took my food away as fast as I could eventually.
The little girl cried on and on , I lost my patience little by little. I pretended to cry… interestingly , she stopped crying and tried to find our what exactly happened. Finally, we all laughed together loudly and joyfully. Then , we ate some mangosteen , shared some green tea and watched kid program on TV.
