Sang Huynh

Gill you are an amazing teacher. I can improve my grammar only by watching the engvid website. Thank you all engvid teachers?

Mathew Martin

sure she is. I’m in love with the British accent. I hope one of these days to master the British accent.

Nabil

Thanks for your time make this video. Now I totally confident when I use them

Tuyet tran

exactly, that’s one of the benefits you could get when you keep learning and that is confidence. you feel sure of what you are saying.

Nabil

I got 10 out of 10. Thanks for the great lesson. I have enjoyed watching your lesson and I will look forward to a next upcoming lesson from you. Oh, I just saw a bird flying out of the window while I was typing this comment.

sunhoek

Really?
Oh, That’s great.

noah

Nice use of the verb. I’m waiting for the upcoming lesson as well.

Nabil

I understood the meaning of see, Watch and look thanks to your perfect explanations.
Thank you Gill.

beernaard

Indeed, it was a perfect explanation of the three verbs. I’m sure everyone has understood how to correctly use all of them.

Nabil

Thanks a lot for this lesson i hope that there will be a lesson to explaine the difference betwwen cause and because please .

Eng zainab

Hello zainab, Cause can be a noun which means a “reason”. It can also be a verb which means “lead to” or “to be the cause of”.
ex: I hope that the children haven’t caused you too much trouble.
On the other hands “Because” is a conjunction which means “for the reason that”.
ex: I told him because Zainab told me to.

’cause, cos or coz are the informal ways of saying because…when you’re speaking you might say ’cause instead of “because” because it’s easier…however when you are writing you have to use “because”.

Nabil

thanks a lot now I am known how the differences between see, watch and look

Anyway, if I make skype, I contact you if possible.
I need someone to speak English with me.

Thank you!

yvonna

Hi Gill ! I’m sorry but I don’t understand 5 question – whay “If you HAVE lost…” I thought I should say “If you lost …” !? What did “have” need for ??? Thank you !!!

Vladkabatkovich

Another lesson for you:

bencebacsi

Hello Gill ,
Thank you for this lesson .
I entirely wached it , looked for the quiz and saw that my answers were right .
I have something to ask you . You wrote on the comment attached to this lesson “your comprehension skills by practicing looking at the context of sentences — one of the keys to learning new vocabulary. ” I would like to know :
– is ” looking at ” a verb at the gerond form or a noun in this sentence ?
– why “learning ” is at the ing form . Does “one of the keys to learn new vocabulary ” make sense ?
I am looking forward to reading from you.

tsamp

Thanks for better understanding this words.

KRAIYUT

Hello, Mrs Gill. A great and very useful lesson, as, indeed, all of your lessons. Be kind, make, please, a lesson about the differences between “will” and “shall” (in which cases it is correct to use one or the other). Thank you for your work, wish you all the best.

Platonov

Hi, Platonov! Well, in the past “shall” was a modal used to express Future Tense for all persons (I, you, he/she/it, we, you, they), like “will” nowadays. However, in modern English we usually use “shall” only for the first persons (I, we), I don’t know why!

Eduardo França

Oh, thank you! Now it became clear.

Platonov

I Got 80/100 it’s a good begining as a my first lesson , i wanna practice and improve my english , so , if someone want to do this he can add me on skype achenXmen and it will be a pleasure

Sidney

Thank you very much for this useful lesson Gill :) Even during my studies it helps me to refresh my memory.

Sunny-Okic

Congratulation, you speak all this languages? Nice byeeeeee

dfantauzzi769

Yeah and I always try to get better and better. A language is so complex, there is always room for improvements. Now I enrolled for Portuguese. Its a really beautiful language but the pronounciation is really difficult, even more difficult than french.

Sunny-Okic

If you don’t mind I’d like to talk English with you, in order to improve my english. Do you have Skype? my nikname is donatello133, bye see you soon

dfantauzzi769

Hi, Sunny! I liked reading you are learning Portuguese, my mother tongue. I acknowledge it is a hard language, but I am sure you will manage learn it. French will help you, because both of them are latin. “Boa sorte!”

Eduardo França

Thank you. Now I’m concentrating more on Spanish and Italian as my roots are half Italian , so I want to improve :) I have French too , its also a very difficult language but it sounds so elegant. Learning languages is easy for me and I like that so its not that much of a difficulty for me :D

Sunny-Okic

Well,anyway if you need help for learning Italian I’m here at your disposal, see you

saadsafa

Thanks

ashutenko

Perfect Gill, I need to know the difference between those words, thanks.

Maliban

Thanks Gill. But could you please give me clear explanation of difference between see and watch with reference to past tense?

Jibanjyoti

Hi, Jibanjy! There is no difference between the verbs “to see” and “to watch” in the Past Tense. So, “He saw the film yesterday” means the same that “He watched the film yesterday”.

Eduardo França

Good website for learning English. Thanks teachers.

thehoach

ı agree with you

eymenerden

Hai Mrs Gill, could you explain or talk about the different between “seek and search” and usage of it, when can we use those, or in what condition? is there any specification in those two words? I would be very enlightened and Would be very happy if you make a video to talk about what I asked you. Thank you.

Evanda

I understood after I saw this video. It is very important topic. Thanks
Thumbs Up!

Is “look” similar to “listen”, and “see” similar to “hear”, considering the active and passive roles of a person?

Thank you teacher for your your helping material….only to add one remark is that look for ,i think, is a phrasal verb.It means to search for something and is clear enough to recognize it from the other verbs of sight.Thank you again

Hello, Gill! I have to admit that, although I finished my English course some years ago, I didn’t know the difference between “to look” and “to see” very well. Actually, I used to think it was the opposite! But now it is all right, thank you. And don’t worry! It isn’t complicated any more.
