Thanks
A good book for improving grammar is English Grammar in Use by Ramond Murphy. There are many books for improving writing. Depends on what kind of writing you need to do. For the TOEFL or IELTS essays, you can use some of the exam guide books such as Delta or Barron’s which are quite helpful. Have a look at the Writing section of http://www.goodluckielts.com for sample essays, keywords and other tips. All the best!
Glad you found the videos helpful. We are working on more lessons. Please let us know if you have any special areas of concern and we will try and address those topics. Good luck!
Glad to hear the lessons helped you. The grammar used in regular conversations in America is pretty much the same as anywhere else. However, the pronunciation can vary and words are often joined together in casual conversation so “Would you” can sound like “Wouldja” and so on.
We’ll try and put together a lesson on this for you. Thanks for watching.
hi dear Rebecca!!! i’m from Afghanistan-Bamyan, did you hear about Bamyan??? however,
so i want to be your student in the intermedate level, so could you please guide me about this? please please help me, so i love to be your student.
Sometimes we just ignore the difference between “going to” and “will” because they mean kinda the same, but now I know the difference. (planned and unplanned)
Talking about Future Tenses…
I just wanna ask: When do we use SHALL and SHOULD?
Thanks, Nilo.
First of all, shall is used more in questions these days, not sentences, For example,
Shall we dance?
Shall we go to a movie?
It is a very polite way of making a suggestion or offer or invitation.
Should is used more to imply that it is a good idea that something is done. For example,
We should really stop smoking.
You should wear a jacket. It’s freezing outside!
In my country we respect the teachers and we respect him/her equal with god bcoz who show the right track a beginner and shape his life
I am really happy and kind your team and management spread free awareness of ESL to all over the world .
You are really a good Teacher.
Thanks.
Thank you for your very kind comments, Sunil.
I really appreciate it, and when students respect the efforts of their teachers, we have a win-win situation where everyone benefits. Good for you that you know how to receive, which is as important in life as knowing how to give.
This was my first lesson here in EngVid. I think it was so interesting and could understand so well the concept of the lesson, despite the fact that I have a lot of problem to understand listening.
Hi Rebecca
I’m really glad to find out your site since it is the greatest site I’ve never ever seen one like it. Also, I’d like to thank you for your work as a teacher for hundred of sudents; I really admire you as a teacher and I hope you are my teacher at the University.
Dear,
I’m a new student in this site and I’d like to aske you to give us more lessons about several tenses.
A new student values you as the greatest teacher.
Thanks, Lisa. So glad I could help you. I wish you the very best with your English.
Thanks to everyone for your comments. It really gives all of us here at engVid a lot of motivation to continue recording new lessons and to know that we’re helping you.
Hi Rebecca,
Your teaching is wonderful.
I am sitll confused about when I should use future tense like “will be +gerund”. what differences between “will be +gerund” and will + verb”, when I use future tense?
Thanks,
Sarah (from Vancouver)
The difference is this:
In the Future Simple, will + verb, you are describing an action that will happen at a particular time in the future. For example,
It will rain tomorrow.
Susan will watch TV tonight.
In the Future Progressive, will + gerund, the action you are describing, will be in progress at a particular time in the future. For example,
The children will be sleeping when I get home.
The action of sleeping will begin before I arrive home, will be in progress when I arrive and will probably continue after I arrive.
Oh, I am here for first day and I made mistake:
First I made quiz based on this lesson, and after that I saw the lesson from film.
Now, I can make the quiz without mistake buth it is late.
Thank you Rebecca.
hello rebecca,
I really like your way of teaching. you are so straightforward and to the point. there is no scope for any confusion when one listens to your lecture. good job!
I have a question relating to the future tense lesson.
You said if it is planned, you use ‘going to’.
ex: I am going to visit my mom on sunday.
But I was wondering if we could say the same planned thing by using WILL which is normally used for unplanned activities.
ex: I will be visiting my mom on sunday.
I would be very thankful if you could clear my doubt.
You could certainly use “will” and it will be understood, but usually in conversation we use “going to” for planned activities.
I know im asking a lot of questions but after watching your video I liked your way of teaching so much that I wanted to get all my doubts (which i’ve been living with for years) cleared . could you also tell me the difference between several and many.
ex: I have many friends or I have several friends.
ex: many people were crossing the road or several people were crossing the road?
You never need to apologize for wanting to know more! That’s a very positive act.
There is no difference between “many” and “several.”.
They are synonyms, used to refer to countable nouns.
I truly enjoy listening to your lessons. Can you explain this sentence to me?
I could see the waves lapped against the rocks. Someone told me that I shouldn’t use lapped. Thanks.
Thank you very much for your teaching in English I learned a lot of different used in terms of communications and the correct usage, I am one of your vivid fans, in your English club, more power to your group.
Hello Rebecca!Thank you very much for your lessons!I m Josie Im from Checheniya.maybe you have heard about it.I try to do my english better and you help me in this way!Thank you again!Good-luck!

hello ma’m……..i liked your each n every video on youtube….i m looking forward for one one video for each tenses bcoz this is a weak point of my english….you r a very gud teacher and i respect you a lot….i think….you r teaching with very basic ideas so that any average student can understand your lesson….it will be very helpful for me as i m preparing for my toefl…..
thank you so much….
take care.
I’m going to visit John and
I’m visinting John on Sunday
are two different things.
At the intermediate level it is important to make the distiction between using the present progressive and goint to to express futurity.
You are misleading students when u say you can say
I am going to visit John and
I am visiting john on Sunday
mean the same!
Please read Leeach Geoffery’s Meaning and English Verbs
Hi,
very good explanation! Thanks.
I think about the Present Simple tense. It is also used to talk about the future events. For example: “The game starts on 6 p.m.” I would love to hear more about using correctly the future forms.
Hi,
Thank you very much. Your video about the future tense is great and helpful. It gave me a clear idea about the future tense. But I am still confused abou using the future simple perfect and the future perfect continuous. Do you mind if you send me more vidoes about verb tenses on my email: zokaalwan@hotmail.com. thank
Hi Ma’am Rebecca, I’m a Filipino and i’ve been looking a site like this for a long time. I’m so glad that i found a teacher like you here, i watched some topic on video to your demo and it is helpful to learn and to enhance my knowledge. Thank you very much, more power and God bless!
You had done a great job Rebeca …….
I m quite impressed about your work ….
I wonder if i get some more English lessons from you,I would be highly obliged if u can send some English lessons to my email id….
Thankyou..
Thanks Rebecca,there is really a slight difference between the use of “will” and “going to”;
Remark: I think there is a trouble with this video, the picture and the sound are not enough clear.
You are right, nabeyle. This was one of the first engVid lessons, when we did not yet have proper equipment and YouTube’s video quality was very low.
Hi Rebecca, I was doing some search online when I came across your website and I just wanted to let you know that you’re an excellent teacher. Very simple, yet very useful. You’re amazing! Congratulations!
hi rebecca ds s anne from phils…wow! this is my first day in your website,it really helps me a lot. How I wish you were my teacher when I was a student…thanks again! Take care and God Bless You!
hey! i m really thnkful to you . i m student of bcs in pakistan but i am very weak in english but after looking this video i m hopful that i can improve my english thanks
This is my request to you please if i do any mistake to solve the quiz, web site must flash the correct reason in front of the question-answer, though i could understand how i did mistake.
Hi vijay. Some of the quizzes do give you the reason that the answer is correct, but not all. I will ask the teachers to write these explanations for more answers.
Dear admin,
this is my request to you to improve the voice quality of the videos, i think you peoples are using hanging micks for sound recording, instead of that you should use shirt collar mike or may be something else like that, so that the quality will get improved. currently there is a little-bit echo in almost every videos.
i hope you will consider my request
and this for madam Rebecca – VDO was nice madam..!
thank you
`Congratulations for this site and thank you for teach us so many usefull things. I live in Argentina and told a lot of frends to visit this page. I would like to known more about verbs followed by ing or infinitive. thank you very much
..Good day..I took the quiz ma’am Rebecca and i found out that if the sentence is an interrogative sentence it should be “going to”, may i know why? it really confused me… thank you…
Hi, teacher. I have some questions to ask, do you mind to explain it to me? Thanks.
1)The Bank has made an official announcement that it _____ lay off 500 employees next month. Everyone is really tense. Why the answer is ‘will’ since the Bank has made the decision?
2)_____tomorrow? Why the answer is ‘Are you going to work’ and not ‘Will you work’.
I’m confusing about these questions and hope to get teacher’s explanation. Kindly thanks.

dear rebecca thanks for helping me with ur brief lesson.I just joined ur lesson recently ,it is wonderful.Iwas wondering if you could tell me about this guestion,iam alittle bit confused .The bank has made an official announcement that it-lay off 500 employes next month.every one is really tense.
i thought the answer is going tobut not, is it not a planned action?it says bank will announce next month.
hi, i have seen some of your lessons. your method of teaching is great. i really loved your style and way of teaching. could you help me in speaking English fluently. thanks
Hi, Rebecca, I have a question about tenses future, If it was the sentence ” I’m visiting London on Sunday” will be for future, but if was ” I’m visiting London” will be just present continuous. Did I use” will be” Correctly ?
ex: These buildings will be the biggest
or these buildings are going to be the biggest
or these buildings are being the biggest.
thank you very much.
Hi, hudhayfah27
I think
1. These buildings will be the biggest. – It means “I think they will be the biggest” (only your personal opinion). Am I right?
2. These buildings are going to be the biggest. Again, you make a supposition that they will be the biggest (considering certain conditions). This is more sure.
3.These buildings are being the biggest. That is not correct. To be is a stative verb (in this situation) and continuous can’t be applied here. Take a look at http://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-stative-verbs/
and http://engtek.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/stative-state-verbs/ and study.
The question about “I’m visiting London (on Sunday)” is interesting. I want to know correct explanation, too.
thank you Rebecca for your useful lecture .
I didnt understand this question:Isn’t it a planned action of the bank?
The Bank has made an official announcement that it _____ lay off 500 employees next month. Everyone is really tense
-will
-is going to
I have no words to say how much you help me to improve my English, both the grammar and the vocabulary . You are so clear, your examples are perfect to understand the topic you teach and i will continue watching your videos as much as i’ll have time.
Hi teacher!
Could you please give me a while to tell me what are differences between your English and American English. Sometimes I got confusion between them. That gives me hard to explain to pepeol. I mean pronunciaton.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Ms Rebecca.thanks a lot for your lessons.i’ve made the quiz and done a mistake in the question about the bank that has made an announcement.why shouldnt we use going to instead of will?due to the fact that it has been planned.could you explain it if possible?again thank a lot!

Thank you Rebecca.
Hi Rebecca,your explanation on the use of the future tense is clear and helps a lot.
thanks Robecca your lessons really help me a lot… thanks again :)
hello rebecca,
I really like your way of teaching. you are so straightforward and to the point. there is no scope for any confusion when one listens to your lecture. good job!
I have a question relating to the future tense lesson.
You said if it is planned, you use ‘going to’.
ex: I am going to visit my mom on sunday.
But I was wondering if we could say the same planned thing by using WILL which is normally used for unplanned activities.

I would be very thankful if you could clear my doubt.
You could certainly use “will” and it will be understood, but usually in conversation we use “going to” for planned activities.
Hope this helps. My best to you.
also I would appreciate it if you could give a lesson on when to use the following sets of words:1) also,as well,even,too.
2) end,finish,over,done,complete.
ex:class is finished or class is over.
ex:you finish your homework or you complete your homework.
3)many, few,some,much,more,less.
I know im asking a lot of questions but after watching your video I liked your way of teaching so much that I wanted to get all my doubts (which i’ve been living with for years) cleared . could you also tell me the difference between several and many.
ex: I have many friends or I have several friends.
ex: many people were crossing the road or several people were crossing the road?
You never need to apologize for wanting to know more! That’s a very positive act.
There is no difference between “many” and “several.”.
They are synonyms, used to refer to countable nouns.
All the best to you.
Thank you!!! This lesson was vary useful for me. Your lessons help me to understand how to use English language in real conversation.
I truly enjoy listening to your lessons. Can you explain this sentence to me?
I could see the waves lapped against the rocks. Someone told me that I shouldn’t use lapped. Thanks.
Thanks for adding me as friend in engvid.com Thaaaaaanks…….
So will future is uncertain when used in conversations and becomes certain as soon as it is written on paper?
If will is more formal, can’t I just use will all the time, when writing and conversing?
Thank you.
PS: In the fifth question of this quiz is a typo. It reads regis(t)ered, without the “t” in brackets.
I have fixed the typo in the quiz. Thanks for letting us know about that.
Halo Rebecca

I’m going to visit John and
I’m visinting John on Sunday
are two different things.
At the intermediate level it is important to make the distiction between using the present progressive and goint to to express futurity.
You are misleading students when u say you can say
I am going to visit John and
I am visiting john on Sunday
mean the same!

Hi,
very good explanation! Thanks.
I think about the Present Simple tense. It is also used to talk about the future events. For example: “The game starts on 6 p.m.” I would love to hear more about using correctly the future forms.
Good luck!
Hi,
Thank you very much. Your video about the future tense is great and helpful. It gave me a clear idea about the future tense. But I am still confused abou using the future simple perfect and the future perfect continuous. Do you mind if you send me more vidoes about verb tenses on my email: zokaalwan@hotmail.com. thank

I would like to hear about Future perfect continuous and Future simple perfect tenses. Is it possible? Please,help me! I’am counting on you! Thanks.
This is my request to you please if i do any mistake to solve the quiz, web site must flash the correct reason in front of the question-answer, though i could understand how i did mistake.
Hi vijay. Some of the quizzes do give you the reason that the answer is correct, but not all. I will ask the teachers to write these explanations for more answers.
Dear admin,
this is my request to you to improve the voice quality of the videos, i think you peoples are using hanging micks for sound recording, instead of that you should use shirt collar mike or may be something else like that, so that the quality will get improved. currently there is a little-bit echo in almost every videos.
i hope you will consider my request
and this for madam Rebecca – VDO was nice madam..!

Many thanks for your lessons, they are fantastic
Hi, teacher. I have some questions to ask, do you mind to explain it to me? Thanks.
1)The Bank has made an official announcement that it _____ lay off 500 employees next month. Everyone is really tense. Why the answer is ‘will’ since the Bank has made the decision?
2)_____tomorrow? Why the answer is ‘Are you going to work’ and not ‘Will you work’.
I’m confusing about these questions and hope to get teacher’s explanation. Kindly thanks.
me too
but 2.question is right
thanks teacher,it’s help me a lot

reply me rebeeca
Hi, Rebecca, I have a question about tenses future, If it was the sentence ” I’m visiting London on Sunday” will be for future, but if was ” I’m visiting London” will be just present continuous. Did I use” will be” Correctly ?
ex: These buildings will be the biggest
or these buildings are going to be the biggest
or these buildings are being the biggest.
thank you very much.
Hi, hudhayfah27
I think
1. These buildings will be the biggest. – It means “I think they will be the biggest” (only your personal opinion). Am I right?
2. These buildings are going to be the biggest. Again, you make a supposition that they will be the biggest (considering certain conditions). This is more sure.
3.These buildings are being the biggest. That is not correct. To be is a stative verb (in this situation) and continuous can’t be applied here. Take a look at http://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-stative-verbs/
and http://engtek.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/stative-state-verbs/ and study.
The question about “I’m visiting London (on Sunday)” is interesting. I want to know correct explanation, too.
Good luck!
Hello, overview here: http://engtek.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/expressing-future-activities/
Hope it is useful :)
very knowledgeable
Thank you so much ms.Rebeca 8)
thank you Rebecca for your useful lecture .
I didnt understand this question:Isn’t it a planned action of the bank?
The Bank has made an official announcement that it _____ lay off 500 employees next month. Everyone is really tense
-will
-is going to
