The difference between THIS and THAT

Awesome lesson Mr James :)

Danny758

Interesting lesson on demostratives James, although it was not a video specially designed for beginners.

Relative time, but especially distance are concepts not THAT easy to grasp at early stages of language learning.

Awesome Video-lesson James.

Regino

This is awesome, I’m happy to be a part of this group.

thickmadam

Very clear lesson. Thank you James!
And… Mr He is very funny :))
This is simply my opinion, right?
Bye to everyone that follow these useful lessons on EnnVid !

Luke

Mr He is very funny .why Mr and He are combination ?

Biswajit12

Sorry friend, I have done a mistake :)
The name of the long worm, that James always drdws on the board is Mr. E not Mr. He
You are right, my apology
Bye for now

Luke

Hey guys! By the way, “Mr He” sounds very interesting :) It might be a good idea for James to refresh his worm-friend..

AlexSem

I agree too. It would be double funny.

Hi, Mr James, and all the staff at Engvid.
You did a good job, thank you. However, when you talk about s/t that is over here(close) and I answer you using the pronoun ‘that’,(that is inappropiate), in this case, (you as native), would you feeling it as a BIG MISTAKE, I am asking, thanks, ta ta

moh-avid

7/9 well demonstrative adjectives and demonstrative pronouns are not my type. I made the wrong choice in the first ones.

Jorge Pedroso

thank you for that lesson, in these days we need to speak a good English.

marienba

interesting lesson. thank you james.

yaoqian

James. Thank for lesson. I think when you said “a”, You must say “b”. :) It’s time to explain word: “there”, “over there”, “here”, “over here”. In today’s lesson You used word “over there”. Why?

i really wanna ask you what is the best way to start teaching english to someone who has not any exprience of it what is the best way to start i mean for example is that good to ask him/her to first memorize some new words or first start with listening by the way consider that he or she doesn’t have time maybe less than 10 session what is your suggestion?
thanks in advance.

abdiwahabSomalo

Hello Mr. James,
This lesson is very useful, but I’m still confused with the sentence: Now It’s that time to learn something new. “Now” means a present time so why don’t we say that: Now It’s this time to learn something new?

SmartNick

You’re really entertaining while doing the lesson james. You really have that natural sense of humor. I only got 5 out of 9, it’s a little confusing to me. But anyway, thanks for sharing this lesson james…

Ryan18

9/9 Good work James!

NaughtyDog88

Very good lesson, James. You’re great.

(It has been so hot in Brazil, James.Lots of
tourists are just melting in the streets.
Carnival time. Brazilians go bananas. Nobody works, just singing and dancing in the streets.
In some States it lasts 15 days.
The “escolas de samba” (samba schools??) are
going to parade. It’s something totally
awesome. You have to see it to believe it.
Prince Charles was here many, many years ago
and he (kind of) danced with one of the
“mulatas”. He seemed so happy.
I think you should come to Brazil and see it
with your very own eyes.)
