Sorry Alex but I know when we talk about the wheater it says. “what’s the weather like?” Why it uses the “to be” verb in this question? Thanks for answer. Bye
Because “Like” in this sentence is an adjective not a verb.
We answer with “the weather is cold/hot/bad,” which are adjectives. The be verb can be followed by an adjective, -ing verb, noun, preposition, or location. If one of those things follows the be verb in the answer, the be verb will be in the question too.
good day sir alex,it is a great lesson for everybody,could you please give us example of verb to be,i’m confused,thank you soooooo much,and God bless
apet,
I will be doing a lesson in the future on the verb “to be.” Here are the basics:
The verb “to be” can be followed by…
-an adjective (happy, sad, terrible…)
-a noun (a doctor, a teacher, a ghost)
-a continuous verb (swimming, eating…)
-a preposition/usually a location (at home, by the pool, with my friends…)
A great lesson! Alex, could you please explain for me why we use the question “Why do he do?” for the answer “He’s a teach.” I chosen “Why does he do?” and it is wrong :(.
Thanks mr. Alex really it,s very uesful.
I want from you to do a leeson about (a)when i use it in a sentense.And what the differnce between b-verb and v-verb bec. I don,t understand percently in the lesson.
Thanks.
thanks alot sir.. i want to speak english but i didnt try before because i hadn’t any source.. please dont laugh guys i am a beginner and please point out if i made any mistake.. thanku :)

Dear Alex,
kindly I wanted to know the differences or uses between the following conditions:
1) present perfect continuous and present perfect simple
2) past perfect and past perfect continuous
3) future perfect and future perfect continuous
Teacher Alex thanks a lot,I have two private students and your classes are really useful for me,Dear could you please let me know if ‘Where do they party’ in quiz is right or not,I think where does your party is better?
Again thank you
Hi, Thank you for the good class.
For example in the next question
Who speaks the best English in your class?
Do not use the auxiliary verb do
When using the auxiliary verb?
I find it hard to understand in which cases the questions using the auxiliary verb and when not to use.
Hi, Alex

great lecture sir alex i got 9 out of 10 :)
i like the way you teach
good one alex
Sorry Alex but I know when we talk about the wheater it says. “what’s the weather like?” Why it uses the “to be” verb in this question? Thanks for answer. Bye

He’s a teacher = he IS a teacher. Than why the question is “what does he do?” not “what is he?” Thank you
Thank you . Iwanna ask about this question he is a teacher & not used
sir alex, in your quiz… he’s a teacher.
why the question is “what does he do???”
Hi Alex
Great lesson on question Thanks
Could you explain diff. between Whom vs Who
Thanks again bye
The basic difference is that “who” is active, and “whom” is passive. For example:
I saw a guy who was riding a pink bike this morning. (the guy is doing the action, so we use who)
The woman whom he married is named Joanne. (someone married the woman, so she received the action)
I hope this helps! To be honest, most native speakers are not even aware of these rules when they speak, and generally use “who” for everything.
It’s my pleasure to have a teacher like you.
Thanks
I was also confused.
but
thanxxxxxxx
COULD YOU DO THE LESSON FOR US. IWLL HOPE THANKS ALEX, YOU ARE GOOD TEACHER . THANKS IN ADVANCE
Sir Alex! I don’t understand of active and passive voice. Can you please elaborate this for me. Thanks
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the lesson.
I have a question,
I can’t understand the different between “I worked” and “I was work”
Hope you will help me.
HI alex Great lesson, it is very useful for everybody.thank you so much.

It’s “be verb.” I will be doing a lesson on it in the future. :)

Not a problem!
thank you very much. You are the English teacher.
thanks to evereybody,especially To the Teacher,this is perfect Coaching}}Ahmad From azerbaijan, Baku
Hi Alex! Thanks for the class!
Why this phrase isn’t correct: What do you shop on the weekend?
Thanks!
The sentence seems strange. I think you are trying to ask one of the following questions…
“Where do you shop on the weekend?”
“What do you shop for on the weekend?”
Even the second question is strange, because it means you always shop for something on the weekend.
hi alex..
“What do you shop for on the weekend?” instead of this can we say
“What do you shop for on this weekend?”
Is laudable
The service is great
Morning Sir, :)

Hi, Thank you for the good class.
For example in the next question
Who speaks the best English in your class?
Do not use the auxiliary verb do
When using the auxiliary verb?
I find it hard to understand in which cases the questions using the auxiliary verb and when not to use.
really , your perfect , i start to fix my mistakes , thank you
thank you very much, from turkey:)
Does it means that “Where are you from?” is wrong?
Nope! “Where are you from?” is perfectly fine. It just uses the verb “to be,” which is a special case.
hi Alex if i say “When i will get it?” instead of “When will i get it?” will be any problem ?
Sat, the correct question form is “When will I get it?” The other form is incorrect.
thanks
