Hi~ James.
There are lots of good lectures on this website.
This lecture is also good. A little bit short though. haha~
What about ‘Should’?
I think I know about ‘should’ and ‘have to’, but not exactly……
So, sometimes I’m confused.
There is no end learning English… haha~

If there is something wrong with my writing then correct me please~.

Then… I HAVE TO go.

    Well “should” is advice it is the right thing to do or the best thing to do.

    “Have to” is usually used when there is something telling us that it should be done…for example a rule.

    I hope this has helped.

Can you teach me how to use “either” and “neither”? I am still confused up to this time in choosing between these words when I write or speak. One more question, is it a factor speaking spontaneuosly and with the right intonation during the exams?

Hoping for your reply, Thanks James

Hello, James
Thanks a million.
thanks for being such a nice person.
for being so helpful. I am from Peru. I teach English for international tourism. it’s a technical English. I would like to finde a webpage specialized is teaching tourism. situations in a hotel, at the airport, in a bar, in a restaurant etc.
the videos are great.
just a question in which part I can find the icon for grammar.
I wish you all the best.
God bless you.

Tuesday, September 21st 2010Reply to this comment

    We will try to create some lessons on English for tourism. I think a lot of people would benefit from that. Not sure what your second question is about exactly… are you looking for the grammar lessons on this site? If so, just go to the “TOPICS” section in the menu at the top, and select “GRAMMAR” there.

    Tuesday, September 21st 2010Reply to this comment

i couldn’t get when you said “‘must’ is more stronger than ‘have to’”
my question is why?

Friday, September 24th 2010Reply to this comment

How do u do James ?
I’m sorry, my English is not very well.
I’m very exited in learning English language.
Could u make a lesson abou when we use “will” and when we use “going to”. I would be very grateful.
Thanks.

Thursday, October 6th 2011Reply to this comment

Thanks for the lesson. I’d like to see a lesson about word differences. About ones which are considered as synonyms but have some differences between ‘em. For example: strange, odd, weird and bizarre. Or: dirty, filthy, muddy, messy. I know they mean the same thing but it has to be something different between them Well, you got the meaning. It’d be so cool, thanks!

Sunday, December 11th 2011Reply to this comment

James you are really good teacher but i have some problem if i say that’s not fact = have to how can i say? and also must – belief please would like to tell me answer if you don’t mind??

Sunday, December 18th 2011Reply to this comment

I am really learning. You are great teacher I’ve ever seen. It is not boring.

Thursday, January 5th 2012Reply to this comment

what a weird thing, I think there’s something wrong with English lol. Why would facts be less incisive than emotions? I mean, based on this reasoning ‘have to’ should be more decisive since the most amazing things the mankind have ever done came from science, not belief and faith stuffs. Moreover, I miss your quiz James. But I really enjoyed your teaching, you’re the best =D take care…
oh, I almost forgot, is this place on the website indicates to suggestions? James has said in that video, it was supposed to be for remaining doubts.I dunno.
