good stuff i really enjoyed listening to you
i would like to ask a question
how can i put shut in, in a sentence?
u cn use ‘shut in’ in a sentence like “he’s been shut inside that room for more than a year.”
it can be either shut inside or shut in.

Hey James! Don’t cry out!
Please, shut your piehole, otherwise I’ll shut off my computer. Besides that I need to shut down my home work ASAP. I hope to do it before the company shut off the eletricity.
Thank you guy…It’s very useful!

Godak
that s a good practice,u have learnt too fast
ali
heyy,
it’ll be “shut down” my computer; u dont use that after besides(in that perticular sentence)
u’ll say i need to finish my homework, cuz u cant use the verb”shut” with homework n it’ll be ” before the company “”cuts off”" the electricity”
PS- n its not a company tht manages the electicity stuff.

Hi James
It’s interesting to listen to your lessons.
You’re a funny teacher. I like your lessons very much.
But…..could you please slow down the speed the way you talk…..

Thanks a lot for your funny lessons~

Hello James, The videos you made clear my five-year-confusion on grammar problems.
I have a couple questions on MOVIE DIALOGUE grammar (colloquial talk)
In the movie ‘THE DARK KNIGHT”
In a scene, Joker said: “If tomorrow I tell the press that, like, a gangbanger will get shot,
or a truck load of soldiers will be blowing up, they will lose their mind.
– Q – why he used “a truck load of soldiers will be blowing up” INSTEAD of “A truck load of soldiers WILL BE BLOWN UP?”
(since the second one is grammatically correct, why he used the first one instead? Is there any explanation on how American colloquial talk function?)
In a scene when Joker was finally caught & locked up in cell, Mayor tells Gordon (the man who catches Joker) to go home.
Mayor (to Gordon): “Go home. The Clown will keep till morning.”
Q – Why the mayor didn’t use the passive tense instead (the clown will be kept till morning.)?
These two questions have been gnawed at me for months now, any ideas?
Thank you, K
