English Vocabulary – How To Talk About Death and Dying

It’s really god.

apezuela

Hello Ronnie,
I would like to thank for teaching us the way you do, that is “phat”. The more I check out your videos the more I want to learn. Anyway, I have been trying to find a pronounciation video on -o ending words but found none. I am italian by the way, and as so I found the way I say them all the way different the way them are ment to be said, they sound longer and I would say nicely. So here’s my request: Would you fancy doing a lesson on -o ending words?
Thans in advance..See ya Pacey!

Pacey

Thanks for watching!
Good luck!

Ronnie

hello Ronnie teacher. i learning all of you. I have question. which sentense is correct?
my cell phone is dead
my cell phone is dying.

odko

Both are correct – one is past tense. (My cell phone is dead)
“My cell phone is dying” is present continuous – which means it is happening NOW!

Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,

I enjoy your lesson so much.

BTW, may I ask u something? If ‘my cell phone is dead’ is a past tense, then ‘why don’t we say ‘my cell phone was dead’.

Delis

If you say your cell phone was dead, that means that it died and now it is alive. This is past tense.
If you say it is dead, it is present tense, not past.

Ronnie

Thank you teacher. It’s good lesson.

sopharath99

hello runnie, thank u for the lesson pls am confuse on how to use “yours” e.g some one send u a greating message and u don,t want to repeat your self is “&yrs” do u want use or “and u too” pls i will be waiting for your reply. thank you

wumi

Yours means it belongs to someone: “That baby is yours.”
You can say “and you too” or “and you” — this is a way to reply if someone says… “Have a good day”. You can say: “You too!”

Ronnie

Hi Ronnie, your lessons funnier than my school and very enjoyable.After watch your lessons it is easy to remember all of these so I want to watch much more video plz…In fact , I need to IELTS vocabulary and I know there are a lot of students need it.Its only suggestion because you’re doing your best.Thank you.

Ok Aqui é para os brasileiros que estudam inglÊs por meio deste site.Primeiramente para usar dead antes da palavra dead tem que ter o verbo To be que são eles Is,Are e Am e já Died nao é necessario simplificando maiis ainda.Veja o exemplo abaixo;

Dead : Morto
Died : Morreu

agora tenha um nivel de ingles adequado para saber veja comigo.De acordo com a dica á cima vamos acimilar

Carmen is …. (Carmen está…)qual dos dois pode haver mais significado Carmen está morreu ou Carmen está morta.Então é isso aí pessoal.Se gostaram da dica publiquem á baixo e assim continuarei ajudando e se houver alguma dúvida,publique a dúvida em português e assim irei ajudar você satisfazendo o seu desejo de aprender inglês.Bons estudos

Brazilian

That comentary above is just for the brazilians students because have the translation for portuguese of the words “dead and died” is easier for us brazilians.RONNIE WE LOVE YOU.YOU ARE THE BEASTEST TEACHER OF THE WORLD UHUUUUU

Brazilian

Hello jamie19,
First you can’t say dog dead because for that you need the verb to be for you use dead,in this case you just use died,The dog died.the died dog is wrong.you’re welcome by answer you ask ^^ goodbye
