I’m from Russia and my dream is to visit Great Britain or America. I’m happy that I have such a great opportunity to learn English with the help of the native speaker. And I’d like to add that this speaker is a very nice and handsome man)) It would be great if you invite me to visit your lessons in real life))

I am homeschooling my kids and have been totally at a loss regarding phrases and clauses. You are the only person to have ever made sense of this and I applaud you!!! Thanks a million!

Thursday, September 10th 2009Reply to this comment

James,
you said a phrase has a verb or a noun and you showed some phrasal verbs, but what about “turn on the volume”? it has a verb & a noun (volume) . You wrote “pick it up”, well in this case “pick” is a verb and “it” is a subject noun, so it’s also a noun.
And you said a clause has a verb and a noun.
So please, could you tell me if the two examples I gave you are phrases or clauses?

Dear Mr.James.
Your lessons are very useful and had saved me a lot of time.
Could you upload videos on noun phrases, adjective phrases, adverb phrases, prepositional phrases, infinitive phrases, participial phrases, adverbial phrases, and adjectival phrases. I’m prone to interactive learning and your lessons are excellent for me to understand. Can any of you(all of you are good!) help me with all these please?I’m having an exam pretty soon.Please respond to me as soon as possible.Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Nia

Sunday, June 17th 2012Reply to this comment

Hi James.

I just wonder about the sentence you said “I ate dinner”
Can we use the word “eat” with breakfast,launch and dinner”?

Because my English teacher teach me that we only can use “have” with breakfast,launch and dinner.

We say “eat” with the food.
Ex. I eat pizza.

Could you please explain for me?

Mr.James ❤
I watched your lessons over 90 and made notebook for my memory.
Your teaching saved me from the wall that I couldn’t come up by myself.
I can’t thank you enough and you made me kind of crazy because I laugh alone while I am watching your lessons.
Mr,E is the best suporter for you and he is cute(the neautral ^ ^)
I think you are popular from your students.
The party(yours 100) was not so enjoyable but it was funny.
I wish you keep on teaching everywhere.
