1o/1o :D
thanks a lot. Mr.Adam
very interesting grammar lesson
We are most indebted to Engvid teachers for their free lessons
Thanks so much, Adam.
I got confused of the questions 1 and 9.
What is the difference between hear of and hear about?
Hi Abdullahaae101,
Good question. Usually hear of means have knowledge, while hear about means have information.
If you never heard of someone, you didn’t know they exists. If you didn’t hear about someone, you know the person but not what he/she did, for example.
Does this help?
Thank you, Adam!
Great lesson, Mr. Adam!
Congratulations!
Really, that’s an advanced English grammar topic that is very important for us!
A hug e God bless you!!!
take care!
Thank you.
Thank you, Adam! Great lesson as usual.
Hi Sir Adam. This may not related but this from the video, in which you explained the usages of Phrasal verb “set.” I’d like know if it’s necessary to put a preposition here?
Fear sets in ____ my find.
Hi Carlo,
No, the sentence is good as it is. Fear sets in means it takes a hold on the mind.
Hope this helps.
I need to study the verbs with preposition
Like
To think of
To heard of
To afraid of
I’ve got 40 Sir Adam! 😭😭😭😭
*To be afraid of
It’s a hard topic indeed Carlo.
I’m working on it ;)
It’s difficult
I’ll try to make an example like this.
The teacher of whom I’m afraid will be here.
Is my sentence correct, Sir Adam? 😅
:)
Technically, yes, but not very comfortable.
Better to be simple:
The teacher (that/whom) I am afraid of will be here.
Sometimes a reduced clause is better.
Very useful. Thanks
Thank you Adam for sharing the lesson!
I got 10 out 10.
Hi Adam, if possible, please also explain the difference between “in which and where” “at/on which and when” in your upcoming videos. Is it correct to say: “The book where she discusses…” instead of “The book in which she discusses… “?
Hi Saeid,
I’ll do that, but in the meantime, consider the context:
A book is not a place. It is a thing. It holds information inside it; so…
The book in which she discusses… OR
She discusses ___ in the book… (not where)
Hope this helps.
Only 6 from 10… I will try to improve my knowledge.
It’s all about practice A.G.. Keep at it ;)

4/10! I can’t get the point! Crazy grammar! What can I do?
Keep trying, Jerry. It takes time and practice.
You can also ask questions here ;)
7/10. I mark the 4th option in question no 9 because of the comma missing right after the (the boy).
Hi Ajmal,
Do you mean question #3?
Thank you everyone :)
