      Ronnie

        rav

        hi Ronnie! You look nice with your teaching style ,tll me one thing.
        These letters were silent when we were kids and now we are grown elder they are still silent are the on protest?:-)

        nomi

        if i m chating with somebody n sudanly he want off n i wanna ask him
        so is tht right way to say that
        were u wnet off sudanly is that right ans

        jass

          If you want to ASK him you can say “Why did you go off suddenly”? Or Why did you go offline?

          Ronnie

          thank u thank u so much ronnie

          jass

          i m a big fan of yrs i like u very much

          jass

        Hi, I’m replying cause’ the leave a message button didn’t work. I just HAD to say that you made me laugh a lot we your cute and funny way to teach. I wish I had have a teacher like you when I studied in Brazil, Spain and in France. In those countries the English language is so badly thought !! OMG
        I think that we must at first learn how to speak before learning stuff like how to write a correct phrase because if no one understands when you speak a “correct phrase” because of your pronunciation … after writing this message to you, I’m going to look after a video where you teach us how to pronunciate the vowels when they are combined in words. ex: ae ai ao au ea ee ei … etc. And I would love to watch a video where you explain to us how we pronunciate the letter i because foreigners pronunciate it as the letter e. Most people don’t see the difference between bit/beat pitch/peach and so on. have a very nice day !! I like you very much. Carlos.

        CarlOS

      jass

      ifsomeone just arrived at office
      so we can say tht eg. sir has just came to office
      is tht correct?

      jass

        I suppose u wanna use “present perfect”,in this way u can say:
        He has just arrived or he has just come.
        present perfect:have/has+pp
        come,came,come(irregular)
        Goodluck with ur English!

        fatiima8

          thanks for yr reply

          jass

        Yes!

        Ronnie

          if i wanna say some one tht no one in the office noe he has gonne out for luch is tht correct or say he want for luch which one is correct

          jass

          Sorry,
          I coulden’t catch u!!!!
          More & better explanation plz.

          fatiima8

          hi fatima i just wanna ask u tht
          someone is gonee for luch so tht we can say tht way e.g. he has gonneout for luch or say he went out for luch which one is correct?

          jass

          Hi there,
          Both r correct,but it depends on what tense do u wanna use?,simple past or present perfect??!
          Plz b careful about dictation,u know wrong dictation disturbs the Language n makes misunderstanding!
          The best 2 u.

          fatiima8

          yes but these sentenses r in past tense
          n wat u mean by diction

          jass

          He went out for lunch. He’s on lunch. He has gone out for lunch. He’s not here.

          Ronnie

          Thanks ronnie u the best

          jass

          jass

          wat r the diff between gonne n went
          when to use these

          jass

          Gone is used when you have not returned.
          Went is used when you left some place and then returned!

          Ronnie

midocac

johan

    You are hard?????

    Ronnie

Tks Ronnie. You’re the best to teacher.
I did quiz very well. Lily from Brazil

Eliete

Thanks a lot Ronnie. Pronunciation is a skill the most of the students require, like me!

A have a question about vocabulary: what’s the difference between “trip” and “travel”?

thx in advance, bye

brunopromano

    Hi there,
    Trip:a journey 2 a place & back again,specially a short one 4 pleasure or a particular purpose.
    Travel:2 go from 1 place 2 another,specially over a long distance.(2 travel around the world)
    Hope I could help.

    fatiima8

    Trip is a noun. I’m going on a trip.
    Travel is a verb. I’m traveling to Alaska

    Ronnie

      But we can say: “I’m goint to traveling”?

      And “I’m going on a traveling”?

      thx Ronnie, you’re an excellent teacher!

      brunopromano

        You cannot say “I’m going to traveling”, but you can say I’m going to travel! Remember once and for all that GERUND and INFINITIVE are never used together!!!

        Merlin

          So, why “I’m looking forward to meeting you” is correct?

          brunopromano

        “I’m going to traveling” Is wrong. You can say “I’m going traveling”.

        “I’m going on a traveling” NO! Traveling is a verb. You have to say “I’m going on a trip”! Trip is a noun!
        I hope that helps Bruno!!!

        Ronnie

I have learned a lot here
thank you.

Quinto

saboory

Hello teacher Ronnie! How are you? I will be migrating to Canada very soon. I learn a lot from your lessons especially “pronunciation”. I am not a native English speaker but our 2nd official language is English. So, I have a different accent, I pronounce some English word incorrectly and I find it difficult some times or most of the time. Lol!
I want to learn how to speak, talk and sound like a Canadian. If you don’t mind, can you teach me how to pronounce some of these words Teacher Ronnie:
-written, kitten, cotton, button, mountain, bottom
-mouth, months(I find it hard to pronounce month and months). How do you pronounce “THS”?
-coupon, data, about
-certificate, predicate(will it be pronounce as “KIT” or “KAYT”?), enumerate, alternate, liquidate, consulate(will it be pronounced as “EYT” or “IT”)
-able, applicable, convertible, table, vulnerable, adorable, cable, marble, gamble, humble(would you pronounce it as “BALL” of “BELL”?
I hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day Teacher Ronnie.

jandox

    Sorry, I cannot “type” how to say words! I suggest you go to an online Canadian dictionary and listen to the words! Good luck in Canada!!!

    Ronnie

shaimaa

Hi Ronnie

Mohamed Kabiri

    Ronnie

I have great regard your efforts .
Can you tell us why do we write the letter “d” in “Wednesday” although we don’t pronounce it ?

khalidmfy

    Because it is a silent letter!

    Ronnie

Dear Ms Ronnie,
Thank you very much for your free lessons. Your lessons are cognitive and marvellous.
Could you recommend me popular fairy-tales in Canada.
Thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Ra.

Ra

    Sorry, I don’t know many. You should google “Canadian fairy tales”!!!

    Ronnie

Thanks a lot for this lesson!

Muzoxi

como se diferencia los tiempos entre el presente perfecto y el pasado perfecto

noemi

    Present perfect – past events in you life. Ex. I have been to Mexico.
    Past perfect = The past perfect tense is often used when we are relating two events which happened in the past. It helps to show which event happened first. Ex.. After I had taken a bath, I brushed my teeth. (my first action = past perfect!)

    Ronnie

Can we say this? im goona traveling?

samsonpervaiz90

    No. I’m gonna travel.

    Ronnie

Hi there Ronnie! Your lessons are the best ones :D well, even if it isn’t connected to this lesson, I’ve always wanted to know if using “ain’t” was correct,what were its meanings because I usually read it in the lyrics and hear people using it but I didn’t see it on my English schoolbooks.. I wish you could light my mind and explain this “mystery” :P xoxo bye

pacoman17

    “Ain’t” means “isn’t”, “aren’t”, “hasn’t” and “haven’t”.

    • That isn’t right. >> That ain’t right.
    • They haven’t been there. >> They ain’t been there.
    • Aren’t you coming? >> Ain’t you coming?

    But it’s only okay for casual/informal conversation!

    engVid Moderator

      Thank you so much EngVid :)

      pacoman17

    “ain’t” is very informal. I think it makes people sound uneducated when they say it – I don’t recommend using it! In songs they NEVER follow grammar rules!!! It is art!

    Ronnie

Finally, I found some thing that It’ll improve my speech.

adilson56

I think there are still so many silent letters left … would u mind to explain us the rest … ^_^ thanks …

legonia

    Ok.

Mansoor

I am still waiting your answer ms ronnie.how can I get to site of english dailogues

youssef morrocco

    Google “English dialogues”

    Ronnie

Ronnie you are a good teacher.Thank you for this good lesson

Regis

Hi Ronnie,
I have a question, but it doesn´t have anything to do with your lesson. I hope you can help me.
It is about the use of past perfect. I know past perfect is used to talk about an action in the past that happened before another action in the past. i.e:
“After I had bought the paper, I went home.”
I´ve seen a sentence that really made me feel unsure about past perfect. Here you have the sentence:”Before they had set up the social networking sites, we didn´t have any way of communicating over long distances.”
Logically we didn,t have it first, and then they set it up. Why is it used the other way around.Hope you can help me. Thanks, Richard.

Richard

    Because they use the word “before”, it is telling you that there were no ways of communicating, until the sites had been set up. The word before is what is confusing you!

    Ronnie

thank you Ronnie it Great Lesson

khalidwamer

VERY INTERESTING LESSON.THANKS

ASLAM MASROOR ANSARI

you are perfect teacher , thanks a lot

asaher2011

Dear Teacher Ronnie
I have homework.Can you help me?
Using TOO or ENOUGH in the answer.

Can we walk to the supermarket?(close) Yes, it is too close. or
Yes, it is close enough.
Thank you very much

PAO

    When we use “too”, it means something is bad or negative. “I have too much homework.” “I have too many problems.”
    When we use “enough” it means the quantity is perfect. “I have enough money to buy the top.” “I have enough time to help you!”
    Too = bad
    Enough = okay!

    Ronnie

I’ve got 4/4.

eoj07

Hi Ronnie
“Lan brought some food for the party”
“She_, we have plenty”
Which answer is right?
A. needn’t have brought
B. didn’t need to
thanhk u

kyu

    b

    Ronnie

      thank you very much
      can you explain to me, i don’t understand

      kyu

Hi Ronni, i want to ask about the word “obvious” it is has a silent letter?,because i heard many people say it with silent b & some others say it with silent v

friska

    I would say ah-vee-ous. So, the b is silent. People’s accents/where they are from will change the pronunciation of words!

    Ronnie

you know what Ronnie, there is something makes you special in explaining lessons in such an easy way. you are doing something like chatting with our minds so we won’t forget the rules specially when you draw or link the rule to something in life

I love you Teacher Ronnie you have a good things for me

Hello teacher!
I would like to ask you some questions.
‘What r silent words?’
Are they every ‘ k ‘ before ‘ n’ ,
every ‘ p ‘ before ‘ s ‘ and ‘ n ‘ ,
every ‘ w’ before ‘ r ‘ ,
every ‘ l ‘ between ‘ u ‘ and ‘ d ‘ ,
every ‘ s ‘ between ‘ i ‘ and ‘ l ‘ ,
every ‘ b’ between ‘ vowels’ and ‘ t ‘ ,and
every ‘ t ‘ between ‘f’ and ‘ e ‘ , ‘ s and e’ , ‘ s and l’?
Answer me teacher please!!

Tharlay

    Sorry, English does not have a simple pattern like this for silent letters – they are all different!

    Ronnie

      That is becouse english include many words for diffrent laguages and don’t have its own alphabet. Latin, greek and franch espcially and many others langugea affect to english. And I/ve even heard russian word ‘pgrom’. And Canada I know 50% franch country)))))))))

      Victor Adamenja

Hi Ronnie!

Now i’m working very hard on my english because i’m trying to get rid of my russian accent although many people i meet think that I speak english since birth but not for a year..

artem

ar422692

    The only advice I can offer you is to listen and repeat how native English speakers speak! And listen and repeat and listen and repeat – a million times!!! You need to hear how you say the words vs. a native speaker! You should also record yourself to hear how you say words! Good luck!

    Ronnie

Hi Ronnie I am from Colombia.I am an AACOUNTANT ,I have my inetrview with american company (HOUSTON ) my porblem is that I can`t understands quick,Iwas studening in ELS HOUSTON TEXAS, 2005,2006, but I can havo good conversation my porobles is question
bye I love your job have a good day
cuidate te felicito por tu trabajo exitos

ORLANDO ROA ACUÑA

    You should think about what questions they will ask you in the interview – most companies ask the same questions. Prepare your answers. Also, if you don’t understand what they have asked you, just ask them to repeat it… if they are good people, they will try to help you understand the question!
    Check out these videos on job interviews in English –
    http://www.engvid.com/job-interview-questions-answers/
    http://www.engvid.com/job-interview-dos-and-donts/
    Good luck and tell me how the interview went!
    Buena suerte!!!

Rasha

thank you for helping me

badar

Hi..Sir.. i have a doubt. I passed exam, I have passed exam. When we use this ? what is diffrence between this two words ? Which is correct?. Thankyou.

shajibhai

    First, I am not a “sir”. My name is Ronnie! Sir is only for men!
    You have to say I passed my exam = simple past tense.
    OR I have passed my exam = present perfect. They are both correct!
    We use present perfect if the action is based on life experience and has no time marker. We use simple past for routine actions with a time marker!
    In this situation, I would use present perfect!

    Ronnie

nice video

Lyn oxMy

Ronnie thanks your simple explanation really I get lot of words is difficult for me, i am from Somalia teacher Ronnie i want your consultant, I am interest to learn English prefect but there is two barrier for me one is grammatical problem and other accent so how can i solving that problems in a easy steps please advise me.

thanks

Abdul

    For grammar, you just have to memorize the rules. For your accent, listen and repeat English words, then record your voice so you can hear and improved your accent!

    Ronnie

Mosquito breeding goes on unabated in rural India

The intensified antilarval measures taken up by the civic authorities during the recent outbreak of chikungunya and dengue in the rural India do not seem to have had a positive impact. Several areas continue to be mosquito-breeding centers on a large scale, researchers of the vector Biology and Control laboratory of the Andhra University have found. The laboratory officials found large density of mosquito larvae in the water samples collected from different districts. The samples were taken from East Godavari, Nellore, Srikakulam and areas near by lakes and ponds. The density was 2000 to 2100 larvae per dip of water in these localities on an average while the normal limit is less than 200 larvae per dip of water. Each dip of water contains about 300ml. The uni-dimensional method of using only chemicals to curb mosquito menace, perhaps , was the reason for this , the researchers surmise.
“Instead, an integrated mosquito management using physical, chemical and biological methods should have been taken up. Networking of various agencies involved in the efforts is also crucial. Mosquito control is a continual exercise and results cannot be expected by taking once-in-a-year anti-larval drive” says fellow Researcher with UGC on Vector control K.Hemalatha. The Vector Control Department would be submitting these recommendations in the national-level workshop on Integrated Mosquito Management to be held on Monday through Visakhapatnam municipal Commissioner Ms.Satyavathi.B.
Spreading of mosquitoes in rural Indian and need to have an integrated approach to effectively control the breeding of mosquitoes.

Modern Indian life

India is a culturally and ethnically diverse nation. In view of rising crime, it causes for several departments of administration of both central and state government have been failed to be vigilant. Many of elected leaders and administrations have been retorting since independence. During elections, voters have been hearing the rumble of wrong promises across the nation.The iniquities of Indian politicians and authorities are a bolt on humanity and it began to poverty and scurried death. The corrupted politicians must be battered in the court of law and according to world lore, the Indian politicians the highest depositors in the Swiss has healing properties.A confrontation between looting political parties and the parties led to a tense situation in all fields of employment and lives of people. Country side did not heed the advice of the others because of their obstinacy. People never dare to bias towards facilitation and development of infrastructure.
India is not only the oldest civilized nation but also mother of several launchers like “Yoga, Kamasutra, gurukula education”. The infrastructure of the rural life such as handy crafts, joint families influenced due to poor administration and unworthy policies. Authorities and elected leaders are making people burst into hysterical tears at the hopeless theories. Youngsters are bickering when they play crucial play in the society due to corruption and crime. How nation could see the pinnacle of the success above their expectations ? Let hope to see the path of climbing Himalayas.

You are the best. But don’t turn up your nose ;)

Anny

    We say it like “sigh”!

    Ronnie

Ronnie that lesson was very informative. What is the rule when you have to pronounce words that have two constants in the middle. I have no problem with compound words, but other words I do with two constants letters that are together. Do you pronounce the first letter in the word or the second letter for example in the word investigate like the letters s and t. How do you determine what letter will be silent. Would you please do some examples and explain and how to use could and would whats the different with those two words. Please respond Thyou

Von

thanks

    If the shipment was just cleared (at that moment that you are talking) use “is cleared”.
    Was cleared and has been cleared are the same = they mean the shipment was cleared sometime in the past!
