there’s something Rebecca says in this video “I’m going to BE leaving in a few minutes” that it’s the first time I hear it. I knew the other expression that she says “I’m leaving in a few minutes”. Does the 1st sentence mean something more or different than the 2nd one? Please help me, I’m a little confused.
Hi Gloria
Both sentences are correct and mean more or less the same thing.
Thanks for your interest and all the best to you.
I just can say “awesome”
I do not know how to thank all of you.
That’s a cool compliment, Omar. Thanks and all the best to you.

Hi Rebecca,
I have one question for you, it has nothing to do with this class. I studied English in Mexico, at school there I studied to take the CAE test, this was the last level students could reach. However, I have heard about other two tests the CPE and the IELTS.
I just would like to know which of these three exams is the most difficult and which one has the highest level accordind to the cambridge framework
Thank you so much.
The CPE is higher than the CAE, and is the most advanced exam that CAmbridge offers.
The IELTS has 2 versions — general and academic. The Academic is at a higher level, and is used for admission to English speaking universities, for example.
You can check the Cambridge ESOL website for more specific comparisons and info.
All the best to you.

hi.rebecca; thanks alot for your lessons and iwould like to ask u about the expressions(when person said thank you? the answer ihad studied before is Not at all ) is it corect? and why you didnt held it in your lessons pls answered me
noticed that.> istudied english (LONG MAN CO )
Yes, Ashabi, you can certainly say “Not at all” in response to someone thanking you.
I did not include it in my lesson because I explained different ways to say thank you and not how to respond to the thank you!
Glad you are enjoying the lessons.

Hi, Rebecca!
I would like to ask if you are helping with writing?!
I mean, I need someone who could check my writing (essays) for mistakes, will you help me with that?
By the way, this website and youtube english lessons are great, thank you, and I look forward to get reply!

Thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoy the lessons on engvid.
All the best to you.

Rebecca, please, make a lesson on how to use “have had” and “had had”!!!
Thanks for the suggestion. Will keep this in mind, Past perfect and present perfect can be confusing, I understand.
