I´m learning english and these videos are very helpful to me
hi,teacher thanks for lesson .
Understandably and clearly. Thank you!
thank u very much…absalute you do me great job…Engllish is a simple language, the more you practice then you achive…may GOD help us Ameen!
I don´t understand the last question the quiz
why the correct aswer is which restaurant did you go to???
That is the correct answer. Otherwise, you would need to say,
To which restaurant did you go?
That sounds too formal so people do not generally use that form. So instead, we add the word “to” at the end.
I know it seems awkward, but it is right. Think of the sentence:
I went to the restaurant.
There, we need to use the preposition “to” after the verb “go”. So when we convert it to a question, we need to add the preposition “to” at the end.
The same happens in these questions:
Who did you go with?
Who did you speak to?
All the best to you, Itzel.
thanx alot you teach us in very good and easyway
thanx alot you teach us in very good way
thanks dear best Rebecca for your nice easy explination i was confused whith why the correct aswer (( which restaurant did you go to??? ))and also How did you go? or
Where did you go? or
How did you go? or
When did you go? or
Why did you go? But now I can tell we ask with TO when we have it already at the question RIGHT ?
Now I understand ( with “to” at the end)
very good, i undertand every word! Saludos
Good job Rebecca!
Hello Rebecca!
You always help me the point.
7 correct out of 8
Thank you so much.
Thank you! It was really useful.
i would like to learn
Only 5 correct out of 8, I am really upset.
I have to work hard, before get to late.
Stay cool, you will get it!
All the best, Kumarikaren.
thank you ma’am your a good teacher
Hey! I got 8 out of 8, but let me ask you one question please
When I was uninstalling my antivirus it showed a message “Why you are uninstalling”
I know this is not past indefinite tense, but could you help me out why sometimes people says Question W + Subject instead of
What/who/why/where + do/does/is/am/are + Subject
like “Who did break the T.V.”
Where is the library
or “Who broke the T.V.”
Where the library is
Thanks for your LESSONS
thank you, rebecca. your videos are necessary!
I got 7 out of 8! :) I had a mistake on number 8, pretty confusing :) but I did understand it well. Tnx Rebecca!
thanks very much…so helpful!
7 correct out of 8
Rebeca, thanks for lesson! :)
Ashu, I think the correct form is “Why are you uninstalling”. There is a mistake.
BUT, if the sentence is like this: “I wonder why you are uninstalling” – the correct is this form.
For the question “Who broke the TV” or “What happened yesterday” – this is the correct form. There is a special rule, I think our teacher can explain it much more better than me. Good luck!
I enjoyed your lessen. thank you.
hi,how r u.its nice lecture.U r right sometime we all will do this mistake.thanks
Yes, we all MAKE this mistake!
Good luck to you, Misbah.
Hi guys! I really wanted to view the videos on my smartphone (andriod ) but it doesn ’t work, what should i do? please tell me if there is a way to view it on my phone. Thank you
nice lesson,,easy to understand,,thnx
Thanks rebeca .
I just missed that I had to use ‘to’ at the end of the question “which restaurant did you go to?” :(.
Thanks a lot .
HI, YOU ARE MY BEST TEACHER :)
AS ALWAYS THANKS A LOT
Thanks, it is helpful!
Thank you so much for this important lesson.
lovely lesson as always, hugs n’ kisses 2 u.
I am learning English from you. These lectures are very helpful and clearly understandable.
Thanks a lot.
Ok…what is the mean “go to” and explainme the difference between go to and go in the last question…
Thanks.
7 correct out of 8
Feeling good
Would you mind if I request you that I want the sound in the video more clearly? Thank you so much for your lesson.
nice lesson i learn some thing from you i like you
very good lesson I take the full mark …
thanks .
Since I don’t know where to ask this question, I’ll post it here. Where is Valen and why did she leave the fantastic crew? I love her voice and the way she explains. Is she going to come back?
I mean, everyone’s good in their own way. Rebecca is, obviously, a very smart woman. My advice to her: Smile more! You look so cute when you do that. :-) James has a sense of humour, which is very important for making a class interesting, Alex is very good with words and he can be funny at times, and Ronnie is the cutie, although I can be annoyed by her clicking sometimes. Jon is a new teacher and I watched only one video with him, so I can’t tell.
I’m watching the whole “video library” from the beginning and writing everything that I don’t know in an exercise book. I am sure I will improve my English that way.
P. S. I saw that some users requested transcripts of your videos because they can’t understand everything. I can help you with it. I am experienced with subtitle editing programs. There is an option on YouTube which allows you to upload closed captions/subtitles, so it’s pretty easy. I will do this as a “thank you” for everything you’ve done so far. If you are interested, of course.
thank you ,,
I got 7 out of 8, not too bad…
Kind regards,
Hello dear Rebecca, how are you? missed you very much teacher…!!!

Hi, Rebecca. I wanna ask you, I can useing replace the question How did you go? How you went? or not. and I why did you say in lesson this question? ” what did you do? I think correct what did you go? or not, thank you Rebecca, you are beautiful angel
Thanks for writing. No, you cannot ask,
“How you went?”. You need to say,
How did you go? or
Where did you go? or
How did you go? or
When did you go? or
Why did you go?
Hope this helps!
All the best with your English.
Who did you go with?

hi rebacca , i hav one doubt
i went with my brother.
for the above statement which one of the following questions is correct
1) who did you go with?
2) with whom did you go?
if both r correct……how?
Both are correct.
“With whom did you go” is very formal, that’s all.

thank you for this
nice lesson.
Hello Rebecca,
I read a book and I want to tell someone that I enjoy it. Should I write: I enjoyed or enjoy. What is the differenced?
Thank you
Well, I think the answer is pretty easy. If you say “I enjoyed it” you mean: “I read it in the past (two weeks ago, for example) and I enjoyed it”. You use “I enjoy it” in the sentence: “When I read a book I always enjoy it” (it’s a habit, you regularly enjoy reading books). You can also say: “I’m enjoying that book”. In this case, you want to say that you’re reading it these days and you like it very much.
Hope this helps you.
Walt Whitman
Im realy enjoyed your lesson .I hope you all succese in your life thanke you very much
Hi Rebbeca,
I like how you teach English in your videos!
I am going to Toronto next year to improve my English so I’d like to know where do you live?
thanks mss rebecca
thank you for your video. it make me understand.
Hi Rebecca,
I teach English as you do, but (unfortunately?) I’m Italian; I mean, I have always a lot of doubts about this wonderful language. Since I want my students to speak English in class, they often ask me for permission to speak their mother tongue. They say: Can we speak Italian?
Well, I sometimes feel something is wrong with that question. Isn’t it more correct to ask: can we speak IN Italian?
I also think they may be right because they aren’t actually asking themselves if they are able to speak their mother tongue. They’re simply asking for permission to use it.
I’m a bit confused. Could you please help me?
Walt Whitman
hi walt,
sorry to interrupt. i think ‘can’ could also mean ‘may’ in many situations. i’m an english teacher as well n (unfortunately) not native.. ;)
You are an excellent and nice teacher!…me piache.

thanks alot
Very nice…. Helpful thanks a lot.
hi iam confuse about the last one can you explain pleas
thank u very much
thanks teacher
Hi Rebecca,
Trust that everything is fine at your end. I would like to know which of the verbs don’t go with auxiliary verbs. For example:
1) He is come –> Correct one: He has come
2) He is gone –> Correct one: He has gone
I don’t know why item (1) and (2) are incorrect.
Similarly, I am confused with question formation
1) Is he come? –> It is incorrect
2) Has he come?
3) Did he come?
why item (1) is incorrect? and what scenarios item (2) and item(3) are used?
I Hope that you will clarify my queries
Merci
Thank you for this lesson, you are a good teatcher
Thank you!
Thank you very much Rebecca. It’s kind of you to give us these interesting lessons.
Best regards.

For example
Why you called?
What you bought?
What you did?

My result 5 of 8, 63%
Thanks a lot!
The comments is the verb to be Past Simple Thank you
Thank you for this lesson.I’m improving my English,excelent video.Take care-teacher’s.
this is tuan phan. i ve been visiting this website, but i think there was a little problem on pronunciation, and vowels. so in my opinion, english vowels are very important for listening, also speaking. on the other hands, missing vowels can make different in English studying.
I did 7 to 8. Thank you teacher Rebecca.
I have got 7 correct out of 8. The question number 8 surprise me. It is good lesson!
