Sir which one is correct
Whom did you meet?
or Who did you meet??

Abb

    Whom did you meet? correct and formal way but CORRECT
    Who did you meet ? it is not correct but 99% of people say that.
    tips:
    if you do a test, you must use whom.
    In your life you can use who. love. h

    Briklend Handersson

      This is the most sensible way to look at it. Thanks for helping out.

      Alex

      Thanks Mr. Briklend. That was a pretty good example. I will remember it for the rest of my life.

      Abb

      What if I use “whom” instead of “who” in a conversation with an American or British, Will it sound good???????

      Abb

        You’ll have better luck using “whom” with a British person than you will an American or Canadian person. :) Still, even in England, people will not be upset if you say “who.”

        Alex

          Thank you sir.

          Abb

          Sir, can we have a grammatically correct sentence as follows,
          “I did do that”????

          Abb

          Absolutely. You can use did, do, and does to emphasize something in the present, or to provide contrast.

          “We didn’t like the service at the restaurant, but we DID like the food.”

          “You know what? She DID say she would be here on time, so where is she?”

          Alex

          Sorry, I typed “to emphasize something in the present,” but it could also be used to emphasize the past with “did.”

          Alex

          Thank you very much sir.

          Abb

          And Are those sentences correct when I need to write an essay?

          diegovss

          Sir i got 10/10 quiz is really easy

          Pratyush gahlot

      Thank you so much , sir !! but are they the same meaning ???

      Lay Vimol

      Thank you Alex
      You’re my teacher and a good teaching

      Preemada

        Let’s practice English together

        Andrey Alferov

    good question.

    gozisik

      Yes, It is. Thanks.

      Abb

    This is a tricky one. Informally, it makes no difference since people say both. Most will simply use “Who”. However, the correct answer is actually “Whom did you meet?” since the object – someone – is what is being asked about, and the is the part of the sentence that is receiving the action.

    I would say “The person whom I met was the head of the company.” Therefore, my question must be “Whom did you meet?”

    In the end, almost NO native English speaker will ever ask this question or even think about it. :) Most just say “who” for every situation because they don’t actually know the rules for who/whom.

    Alex

      I meant to type “and THAT is the part of the sentence” in my first paragraph. :)

      Alex

      Perfect Alex, and because anyone can see the level of the lesson, for beginners, totally understandable.

      Bergvolk

        For sure. Thanks for watching!

        Alex

Thank you very much! This is very helpful lesson!finally I have understood!

Faberliya

Happy04

    Great job!

    Alex

Thank you, Alex.
Teacher What may be different in these two questions?
when did you arrive?
when are we arrive?

Muad Abdiaziz

    when are we arrive it doesn’t exist it is wrong. when are you arriving it is ok and correct

    Briklend Handersson

    The first question is correct, the second question is wrong. :) You could say “When are we arriving?” but never “When are we arrive?”

    Alex

Thank you i got 5 corect out of 10

Ismahan mohamed

    That’s okay. Review the lesson and try again. :)

    Remember, you only use “do” if you want to ask about a simple action.

    Alex

Thanks a lot Alex for teaching this befogging concepts.Most of the time both things are used incorrectly while speaking.But now after watching this video both do and be will be used correctly by us.Thanks once again :)

      Alex

Thank you Mr. Alex a good explanation in this lesson, I would also like to know by the beginning of learning the English language from the point zero because my level is very weak in English and you very much once again thank you

ibrahim bensaad

    I make videos for all levels. You will see more beginner lessons in the future.

    Alex

Thank you Mr. Alex lesson I would also like to advice you to start learning English because my level is very weak in terms of like learning to write in English, as well as to understand and communicate and thanks again

be-djamal

    Hi be-djamal. Here are my suggestions.

    1. Get a notebook or make a file folder on your computer for English learning.

    2. Watch lessons about English, read lessons about English, and do practice activities.

    3. Challenge yourself and always try to learn new vocabulary. Even 1 word per day!

    4. Put everything you learn in your notebook and review it regularly.

    5. Learn! :D

    Alex

Thank you Alex, but I got only 9 from 10

Alserg

    “Only”? 9 is very good!

    Alex

thank you!!

mirelle07

    You’re very welcome. :)

    Alex

ok for the lesson alex

lear57

    That’s great! :)

    Alex

Thanks for you
It was very clear and simple lesson with your amazing explanation

positive_learner

    That’s what I always try to do. I’m glad it was easy to understand!

    Alex

I always confused and did not understand which one should I use between Do an Be until I find this vedio. After watching the video, I still got the first question wrong because it was my habit. Now, I get it and thank you very much for amazing explanation. :)

charmbaito

    You’re very welcome. I’m glad it was helpful!

    Alex

excuse me ,i have two questions which is not realated to this subject , but i love to share them with you .
(thats sucks and just do it) what do them mean ? somtimes i hear these slangs and i cannot find out their meaning. i will be gratefull if you help me

m 16

    “That sucks” is slang for “That’s bad.” You can use it in a variety of ways. For example:

    -The movie sucked.
    -This song sucks.
    -I think this vacation is going to suck.

    “Just do it” is a command that means DO IT NOW and don’t waste time. :) It’s also the slogan for Nike.

    Alex

Thank you Alex!
It’s important review the basic rules sometimes.
Much greetings by Italy :)

Luke

    For sure. Thanks for watching and commenting, Luke.

    Alex

hi teacher how are you ; first of all i would like to say: thank you so much i have learned a lot of things from you …my english difficultie : when i read an essay in english i find some hard expressions that i can’t understand even if i understand the words in its real meaning but the form is difficulte for example:”unifying the study of these diverse subjects of study is sociology’s purpose of understanding how human actions and conciousness both shape and shaped by surrounding cultural and social structures” i found this expression in an essay about sociology …my problem is the first part of the expression from the begining to ”how human..” thank youu soo much

karimon

    That’s a very academic sentence. It’s also far too long and repetitive, and I say that as someone who has a Masters degree! I would write it this way:

    “Unifying the study of these diverse subjects is sociology’s purpose: to understand how human actions and consciousness both shape and are shaped by surrounding cultural and social structures.”

    Basically, human actions are shaped by cultural and social structures.

    Alex

      so many thanks , first i thought you dont like to answer me but later i found out you must be busy .thats why people say do not judge too quickly!.and finally i got an idea its a really good idea to make a speciall part on the site to answer peoples question , it makes your site numberone not only over the world , bur also over the univers speciall for the allian who want to make contact with us !!

      m 16

        I love science fiction, so I laughed at your final sentence. Ha. Thanks!

        I’m glad I could help.

        Alex

          hello , what is the diffirence :
          i have been to china
          i have been in china

          m 16

          If you just want to say you have travelled there, the correct sentence is “I have been to China.” “I have been in China” is also possible, but it literally means you have been in the country. Most students say “in” when they MEAN to say “to” in this situation.

          Alex

          what is wrong on this sentence and why ? We were pleased to have the opportu
          nity to watch such talented dancers
          to perform
          a
          highly
          acclaimed new
          ballet

          m 16

          it was a test , and they say we must change the last
          option and write “carried umbrella away”.why?

          Sitting

          under an umbrella at a tiny
          table in a sidewalk cafe, Bob was
          startled

          when a gust of wind suddenly

          carried it

          away

          m 16

Hi Alex,

Is it grammatically correct to ask? When are we leaving? and/or When do we leave?

Thanks in advance.

ezsosa

    Both are perfect questions. :) I’ve used both. It just depends on my mood.

    Alex

thank you sir for this leason it was very simple and understood

GAZALa

    That’s great to hear!

    Alex

Nice! Great! Clear!

karik44

    Perfect! I’m glad it was easy to understand!

    Alex

Thank you Alex.
I have a question ,Are the sentence correct?
Where do you come from?
Where are you from?

Chloechou

    Both questions are common and correct. Nice job!

    Alex

What type of tenses do we use after the word ‘would’ and what is the difference between might and may?

Abbey98

    “Would” is used with the 2nd and 3rd conditionals, which are not part of the simple, continuous, perfect, or perfect continuous tenses. It is also used to talk about repeated past behaviors. E.g. In high school, I would always go out on the weekend.

    Might and may are quite similar in meaning and basically mean “maybe”.

    Alex

      Is this correct sir Alex?:
      “I would eat my breakfast every 7 in the morning.”
      Is ‘would’ necessary in this sentence?
      and
      “She would be bringing her homemade cookies this afternoon.”

      Abbey98

        They are if you have an “if” clause that makes sense. As they are, the second sentence doesn’t really make sense, while the first one has a different past meaning.

        Alex

thank you master alex ♥

Ahmed mohamed

    You’re welcome, Ahmed. Thanks for watching!

    Alex

Hello Alex .
Thanks for this lesson . Can we used the past participle of a verb as an adjective and use be as the main verb . For example: Were you shaved and combed when she arrived ?
Or
How was he dressed up that you didn’t recognise him ?
Thanks for your answer . Bye

tsamp

    Absolutely.

    For example, “I was really impressed by him.” Your examples are good too.

    Alex

Hi Alax,
very nice and easy explanation of complex problem.
Got 10/10 on quiz .thanks for your video

sanjaysi

    Nice job! And you’re welcome for the video. I enjoyed making it.

    Alex

Good lesson, its very usual but still some time we get confused. got 100% :) thx Alex

Jogie

    No problem. It takes time and regular practice. You also have to pay attention to what you’re saying.

    Alex

Thank you very much, Alex!

Elena

    You’re welcome. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the lesson.

    Alex

Hi Sir,
Can I use:
Are you finished your work?

SmileHoang90

    Yes, absolutely. :) In this case, “finished” is a participle adjective.

    Alex

      Alex must have misread your sentence. The correct sentence should be “Are you finished WITH your work?” or “Have you finished your work?”

      David

Hi Mr.Alex

    You’re very welcome. That was the idea. Thanks for watching.

    Alex

Hello, Alex! Nice to see you again.
How to make questions, by using be or do is piece of cake for me. But reviewing basics is very important to improve skills. So you gave me a good opportunity to look it back! Did this lesson help me? Yes it did! Am I smarter than before taking this lesson? Yes I am! I’m not even smart though, now I’m smarter, at least. Thank you for the lesson.

juneriver

    If you learned something new, I’ve done my job. :)

Please, make alesson about Participle I and II.

    Good call. I’ll keep that in mind.

    Alex

Hello,
Can you please explain to me the expression “to the tune of.” I’m having trouble understand it.
THank you.

alba03

    “They fined him to the tune of $2,000.”

    “to the tune of” means around or about; it usually refers to money that someone had to pay for something. It’s not extremely common, but it’s still good to know.

    Alex

    Alex

HI TEACHER
IS IT CORRECT THIS SENTENCE
I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD LEND ME A POUND.
THERE IS A WOULD IN THE IF-CLOUSE.

gag

    This sentence is grammatically correct. It’s the second conditional, and you use “would” in the “if” clause because you have to use a past simple verb in the “if” clause when using the second conditional.

    Alex

      Dear teacher,
      Shall I consider using “would” in the”if”-clause more polite?
      If you would lend me a pound, I would be grateful?

      gag

        It certainly sounds more polite in the context of your sentence, but it can also sound commanding and forceful.

        “If you would clean up your room more often, you wouldn’t be coughing all the time.”

        Alex

Thank you Alex!

SkyArg

    Not a problem. You’re welcome.

    Alex

      It’s really helpful thanks sir

Thank you Alex for the answer, now is clear for me. I’m watching this videos and I learned more than other methods.

    Yay! :) That’s fantastic to hear. Keep studying, and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for all the latest videos.

    Alex

Sir I have a doubt what is the difference between
I have to go and I ‘m to go as I know have to we use for compulsion and I ‘m to we use like I’m to eat food. I’m to go I ‘m to play etc. but I have heart that people use I have to instead of I ‘m to please make me correct

m@@hi

    “I have to” is used for obligation. You don’t have a choice in the matter. It’s also far more common and informal than “I’m to,” which can also be used formally for obligation, but I’ve never heard anyone ever say that in Canada or the USA. :)

    Alex

i’m sorry for my wrong written Mr alex and thank you one thousand once

Beriani ismail

    No problem.

    Alex

Dear Alex,
Will you please give us a lesson on “Verb Phrase”
containing “Simple Verb Phrase” and “Complex Verb Phrase”, and also “Noun Phrase”

gag

    I’ll keep this in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Alex

Dear Alex,
Will you kindly explain to us examples starting with “Having + p.p.,……” or “Have + p.p., …”, and what is the tense in this case?
because there is no teacher talking about these sentences at this website.

gag

    “Having + PP” is in my lesson on adverbial phrases.

    “Have + PP” can’t start a sentence.

    Alex

      Hello, Alex,
      There is no a lesson called “adverbial phrases” which is by you on the site, so could you please type its Link here.

Would you kindly give us a lesson on

Thank you. I’m in my 30s. :)

I will have more beginner lessons soon.

Alex

Alex . Can you tell me what’s different between ” Me too” and “Me as well”.

Thùy Duyên

    I’ve never actually researched this topic, but I would say that “me too” is much more common and also sounds more informal than “me as well”. Personally, I use “me too” far more than “me as well”.

    Alex

Thank you for correcting my English Alex

Abdulwahid ali

    No problem! As always, thanks for watching.

    Alex

Hello Teacher,
If we find these phrases in a sentence, do they mean that the sentence is in the past tense? And what kind of past?
Would have been … or would have p.p.
Should have been .. or should have p.p.
could have been … or could have p.p.
might have been … or might have p.p.
and etc, on the same rhythm
I hope you understand my message!

    These all express an unreal past. They use the form of the third conditional.

    “Things might have been different if I had watched less TV as a kid.”

    “You could have called me if you had really wanted to talk to me!”

    They all talk about a past possibility or past advice (should have) that is just a fantasy now because the moment is gone.

    Alex

Hello teacher,
I am telling my mom that
“I won’t go to the party tonight.”
The next day I told my sister that
“I wouldn’t go to the party last night.” Or
“I didn’t go to the party last night.”
Which answer is correct?
What is the negative in the past of “won’t”?
I am so confused about this.!

gag

    You would say “I didn’t go to the party last night.” There is no past negative form of will in the context you’re asking. You normally just say “I didn’t,” “I couldn’t,” or “I wasn’t able to.”

    You can use “wouldn’t” if you’re using the third conditional to talk about the past.

    “I wouldn’t have gone to the party if I had known you weren’t going to be there.”

    You can also use it to talk about past repeated actions.

    “She would never answer our questions correctly!”

    Alex

Hello,Alex, i was puzzled by a sentence”So I look at this picture,and I see the extraordinary” isn’t “extraordinary” an adjective, does”I see the extraordinary” make sense

Jack Den

Thank you very much teacher.

raadali

    You’re very welcome!

    Alex

Hi teacher…could you make a lesson about passive forms in all tenses… That’s something you promised me a year ago :-)

haman87

    Whoa. Really? Sorry. I actually just started working on a resource for the passive voice on the weekend. I hope to have it finished in the next two weeks and posted to the site.

    Have you searched for “passive” on the site? Ronnie and James have each done lessons on it. Are you just looking for the structures?

    Alex

      It’s OK teacher,I know you’ve been really busy.thanks alot for considering me.
      Yes that time I searched and I saw those video that you mentioned but I think there are not fully satisfied me.I’m looking for the structures and their all tenses and at which moment or time I should use each tense in my writing or conversations

Hello teacher,
Present simple: I work
Present progressive: I am working
Present perfect: I have worked
Present perfect progressive: I have been working
Past simple: I worked
Past progressive: I was working
Past perfect: I had worked
Past perfect progressive: I had been working
Future simple: I will work
Future progressive: I will be working
Future perfect: I will have worked
Future perfect progressive: I will have been working
These are all tenses in English, I think, but the two last ones are not clear to me till now, will you explain them to me more in illustrated sentences?

gag

    Sure.

    Future perfect – something you will have completed by a point in the future

    -By the time I’m 50, I will have visited Japan.
    -When you finish this final essay, you will have completed 4 years of university!
    -We’ll have lived here for 20 years next year.

    Future perfect continuous – used to talk about something that will have been in progress until a point in the future

    -In 3 more weeks, I will have been studying English in Toronto for 2 years.
    -If she’s still here next year, she’ll have been working with the company for 25 years!

    Alex

Hello, teacher,

Over the years many villages have been absorbed into the city.
Over the years the building fell into a state of disrepair.
Over the years, I’ve accumulated hundreds of records.
This is your past sentence as example:
In 3 more weeks, I will have been studying English in Toronto for 2 years.
Is there normally a comma after “time reference / over the years” in these examples, if they were at the beginning of a sentence?

gag

    That’s correct, but some people will disagree with me and say it’s not necessary. :) Most writing style guides will recommend the comma, though.

    Alex

Thank you very match

Hello teacher,
Defining relative clause
Non-defining relative clause
Restrictive relative clause
Non-restrictive clause
Identifying relative clause
Non-identifying relative clause
Are these all above talking about one topic with different titles or there is a difference among them?

gag

    No difference at all. They are just different names for the same thing. :)

    Alex

Hello teacher,

Come and sit ‘by’ me.
We stayed in a cottage ‘by’ the sea.

Come and sit ‘beside’ me.
He kept his bag close ‘beside’ him at all times.

He sat down ‘next to’ Pam.
There’s a public telephone ‘next to’ the pub.

It’s a little village ‘near’ Cardiff.
I don’t want to sit ‘near’ the window.
I’d like to live ‘near’ my parents, if possible.

The prepositions above are confusing words to me (by, beside, next to, and near)
Do you have a magic solution how to use them easily without any embarrassment?

gag

    No tricks, unfortunately. Just memorization and trying to think of the logic to them.

    Near = close to
    Beside = next to/directly to the left or right
    By = around/near/close to

    Sorry. Wish I had better news for you. :)

    Alex

Thanks a lot for this useful tutorial video, by the way i got 10 correct out of 10 in this quiz because of you, many thanks ^_^

      pedrock

Hello teacher,
Last year and past year
last test and past test
last attempt and past attempt
what’s the difference between last and past, and how to use them?

gag

    “I failed the last test” can have two meanings.

    1) I failed the most recent test
    OR
    2) I failed the final test/final exam

    Past can have a few different uses.

    “How did you do on past tests?”
    -Any test done before the present

    “This past test was pretty easy.”
    -This means the most recent test. You always need to use “This” or “That” before “past” for this meaning.

    Alex

Thank you Alex, you explain us very clear this lesson

Hi Alex,

They invited me to stayed for two weeks in their (home/house)in Yemen.
Which one is correct, why?
What’s the difference between house and home?
Thanks

gag

Hi Alex,
May I ask which one is correct if you want to know some one woke up or not yet?
(1) Did you wake up?
(2) Have you woken up yet?
And
Can I use “yet” with the simple past tense?
Thanks :)

SmileHoang90

    Hi Smile,
    I have studied this rule already, and I can answer it for you:
    If you don’t know that something happened or not, use the present perfect, so “Have you woken up yet? is correct.
    Concerning your second question, as far as I know, you can say: “I didn’t see that movie yet.” with negative past tense in American English!
    I am still learning! Sorry Alex, I took your role! pardon me!

    gag

      oh, Thanks ****man!
      Have a nice Sunday!
      P/s: you have a very-hard-remember nick name @@
      haha
      by the way, do you think “a very-hard-remember nick name” is correct or not? :)

      SmileHoang90

        fahdbensalman is my full name, my first name is fahd, my family name is bensalman.
        “a very-hard-remember nick name” is wrong.
        you should say
        ” a very hard nickname to remember”
        because (remember) is a verb not an adjective so it doesn’t come before a noun.

        gag

Thank you,Alex!Your lesson is very helpfull- I got 8!

Hello Alex,
Glancing at himself in the mirror just moments before the job interview, Enrico felt good about his appearance.
Why do we use “ing form” with the verb “glance” in the first clause although the whole sentence is in the past tense?
This grammatical rule is confusing to me.
Could you explain this rule for me more?

gag

    It’s called an adverbial phrase. It shortens the full clause, “While he was glancing at himself in the mirror” by removing the adverb (while) and the subject (he), and leaving the verb + ing.

    It’s also common to start a sentence this way formally.

    Alex

      Hello Alex,
      Apart from the case above which is in the simple past tense,
      are there another cases which begins with “verb+ing form” but not in the simple past?
      In other words, do we use this rule in all tenses?
      if yes, give me these cases.

      gag

May Allah reward you greatly.
It is a veru useful lesson, Sir.

Autumn Autumn

Hello Alex,
What is the difference in meaning between these two sentences:
Seeing an accident ahead, I stopped my car.
Having seen an accident ahead, I stopped my car.

gag

Dear Alex,

Are these structures correct grammatically?

Having finished my work, I went home.
I went home having finished my work.

After finishing my work, I went home.
I went home after finishing my work.

Which one is formal?
Which one is informal?
Which one is used in writing?
Which one is used in spoken conversation?
Which one is wrong?

Are these structures (the second clause after the comma) always in the simple past tense?

I am extremely confused!

gag

“Where do you go?” and “where are you going?” means this same, so what is the difference and when I should use which them?
Thanks and please answer.

Christian Bartosz

    They are different tenses, so they don’t necessarily mean the same thing.

    “Where do you go?” is the present simple. It asks a general question. For example, “Where do you go if you want to be alone?”

    “Where are you going?” is the present continuous and it asks where you are going at the moment, or in the future.

    “Where are you going this weekend?”
    “Hey, where are you going? The class isn’t finished yet!”

    I hope this helps. Thanks for your question!

Alexandre Reis

There are some mistakes on the next short text. Could you find them?

In this one, Alex explains the difference between ‘Do’ and ‘Be”, and how we must be used them. The key is identification if there is a base verb or not, if there is, we should use “Do”, on the rest of cases, almost of them, we used “Be’, when we have the adjective, noun, preposition or adverb. The other key is to be careful if the tense indicates the actions si occurring, in this cases, as we are using “ing”, we should use “Do”. Thank you, Alex

IvDzen

Hello, I have some trouble with these two questions.

1) Is she always hungry?
I don’t understand why we use “Is” (to be) instead of “Does”.
Isn’t to be hungry a verb? Shouldn’t we use “Does she is always hungry?”.

2) Do cats hate water?
I don’t understand why we use “Do”.
Isn’t “hate” an action verb?

Thank you so much for your help.
