hi MR JAMES i have a problem with my spelling can you help please please please
thanks nice lesson
Thanks for your lesson. Really get it.
hi James, didn’t get all meanings ??? what should i do ???
perfect! thanks….:)
HI James
you said ” Did we get any email today ?”
this question sounds in the past tense why you didn’t use “got” ?? thnxxxxxxxxx
Hello there,
Muhammad25jan this is a simple past tense question and therefore as the rules say: negative and question forms are made using auxiliary verb “did” and simple form of main verb. That is why we use get instead of got. Hope that clarifies your question. Cheers
Other meanings:
get=obtain
get=buy
get=understand
get=fetch
get an illness=Contract a disease
get=score
get
Hi James-san
I’m sometime confused about the use of “get” causative verb
For example
I got the door to shut properly.
I had the door shut properly.
Both are OK or not?
I got Boss to check this document.
When asking superior person, can I use this expression?
Br,
Yutoshi
wow I picked up how to teach sth effectively.
I got it ;) tnkx
this guys is good
5 of 6. Great Job Mr. James
Thanks James,
What are happening with your mic the sound is not so good. I think there is much echo sound. Anyway the class is good as always.
Thanks again,
We had a problem with the sound in this video and a couple others, unfortunately. Sorry.
I’m really happy to rely on an excellent material like this one, I hope you will keep helping us to understand English language for more years !!!
you have a nice way of teaching.i applause you. please do some more

Hey James! Well it’s quite useful site I have ever seen. And especially the way you teach is damnly ammmazing hehe!! hope you get meh ;)
you are agood explaner
Hi i think he use the funy way in teaching .
wow!!!!!!!1 i really understood clearly….
Thx, a nice and smart explanation
The Honorable Administrator,
I’d like to inform You that the quiz is so different from what Mr.James has explained. On the video, the explanation is about five kinds of the use of “Have” that are to express action, possession, necessity, modals-past(e.g. should’ve&could’ve), and perfect. Mr. James didn’t explain about “Get” at all. However, the quiz (and the title) is about the meanings of “Get” such as receive, answer, cause/become, and to go and bring back for use.
Both video and quiz should’ve had the correlation each other like most videos.
I really like this website. That’s why I write this all. I do apologize for this comment.
Regards,
Rifai.
thank u james u are neci teacher.
too fast … I must repeat :(
It is nice to get that information from EngVid
yup…i get it…..thank you soooooooo much……
get (+ object) = receive
It’s useful tip, thanks James!
This lesson is so useful. Many people do struggle with this verb and its variants.
Thanks James “Can you get the door?” What does it mean?
it means: “can you open the door?”
That’s the difficult part “Can you get the door?” For me it means that you go to the door and open it, someone outside the door come in so you can receive the person outside the door meanwhile you answer to the command to go toward the door. I hope I get it the meaning, tell me if It’s right
James is my favorite, I got everything ;)
Good Day Mr.James,
First of all I would like to say thank you.It was very clear to understand all the points and I liked your teaching skill.So I have a favor for you which is like full English lesson for all levels teaching by you.For instance, on this site it’s hard to know and find what lesson comes next,so it would be nice if it’s well organized and easy to use.Thank you!

The lesson was very good. But the people viewing these videos, don’t already master in it… so it is very hard to get you especially in the speed you teach… Please try to speak slow, clear and with minimum jokes so that we can understand it better and get maximum out of it..
Mr. James i love your lessons.. i love you

Hi James. It seems to me that you speak too fast to understand you for not native Americans. I got you only partially.)) Could you slow down a liitle bit?
I think that you teach fast , a little slowly will be better . fortunately i get 100% in the quiz . Thanks a lot at all :) .
i’ll be crazy, he is to fast, i saw this video 4 times to understand it all. but he is great! i love uuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
“Get” was more difficult for me than “have”. Is there more topics ?
10/10 This is easy!!!!
