Hi Adam! =)
I was wondering if these expressions can be used in IELTS essays, or maybe writing letters.
Thanks for your contribution to the learning community!

Hi Naacho,

These are mostly slang uses presented here. Better not use them on the IELTS.

Good luck ;)

Would also like to ask about the pronouciation of the word “et cetera” which I hear as “ex cetera”. Probably my hearing is poor?
Thanks in advance.

EllenMars

Hi Ellen,

No, your ears are fine. It’s more like eksetra or eksetera
:)

Adam

I’ve also heard this pronunciation of “et cetera” lots of times. But I haven’t found it in any dictionary yet. Why is that? Is it just spoken English or typical for some areas?

Sindiso Ncube

Hi Sindiso,

Ideally, try not to break up words. But, if necessary, make sure you cut between syllables and add the hyphen there.

Adam

Dear Adam
Thanks so much for your videos on YouTube
I have 2 questions
1) Can you introduce one forum for finding speaking coworkers in English? because I need to speak with native speakers for better and better my speak skill

2) I have searched your videos on YouTube but I could not one special video about physics units terminology and would you like presenting one video in that subject?
best regards

Mojtaba

Hi Mojtaba,

As far as speaking partners, you will need to do a search for that. I’m afraid I don’t know which ones are very good.

As for the physics vocab, I’ll see what i can do.

Adam

thank you

keniuj

Good evening, Adam. Firstly, congratulations because your lessons are always cool! In this lesson I just missed some examples, some phrases with the expressions “break the bank” and “own up to”, I didn’t get that clearly…

Murilo Martins

I joined this site only recently, and like the videos of Sir Adam very much. Interesting lessons, not boring.

Prakasan PP

Sir, somewhere in this video you say “The companies, they”. In India we have a tendency to use pronouns indiscriminately, and in competitive exams we have to strike out the superfluous pronouns to get the right answer. I m sure in writing you would not have used this style. May I get this clarified? I like your style of teaching very much.

Prakasan PP

I just wanna thank you for the excellent job. That’s very inspiring.
