you are awesome!
may I ask you about “a”?
do you pronounce “а kid” like “a (cAr) kid” or “a (cAt) kid”?
cause we learnt at school “a” as “a – cAt”. Is it British or just incorrect?
thank you very much,

Yousif Al-shitaiwi

nice video for English thinks alt

aziz

Hi
thank you very much for this lesson. It’s been very useful.I have a concern about a sentence that you you said: “I was raised” why some people say i was raise and not raised. Are you allowed to put the two verbs in the past like was raised? and can we say I did eat or i did ate. I hope that yu can help me with this confusion. thanks

reina

    Hello!
    In this sentence, I was raised, “raised” is an adjective. When we change a verb into the p.p. and use it with was/is it becomes an adjective!
    We cannot say did ate – as did (do) is an auxiliary verb. We change the do verb to past and keep the verb in the base form!

    Ronnie

      i was born in lebanon and i grew up there and i raised by mom and dad thank you so much ronnie

      zienali33

      ooh!
      now I understand!!

hello ms Ronnie ..how are you ?
when I say …I was brought up in Toronto ..
it means I left Toronto and for example now I’m living in Otawa??????????
please reply
thank you

mcrahim2000

    Yes, if you say I was brought up in a city that means you went to elementary and or high school there. Most Canadians move to another city if they go to university or college.

    Ronnie

I really liked this one, I didn’t know about the “brougth up” expretion (my teachers did not told me anything about it….
anyway thank you
Now I got a confussion; If i use “did” the verb must be in past or present?
tnx 2 u

mario

    When you use “did”, the other verb is usually a base verb!

    Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for your wonderful explanation. I always looking forward to seeing a new video clik. THanks again and hope to see your another video again!
Mucho gracias!

Shing Mang Tun

thanks ronnie i love being taught by you even on the computer

faiz ul islam

ronnie pls tell that cant we use “grown up”

faiz ul islam

    Grown is the past participle of grow. So we have to use “grown up” with present perfect. Eg.. I have grown up in Canada.

    Ronnie

thanks

faiz ul islam

Hashmatullah ghazizay

Thanks teacher to show our mistakes.

lupe79

Hi Ronnie! I don’t understand clearly between “raise” and “rise”! thanks so much! nice day :)

chickie

    “Rise” is an intransitive verb and “raise” is a transitive verb.
    Intransitive verbs, like rise, do not require an object. “Rise” does not require an object to do the motion. E.g., the sun rises every morning; she rose from her nap around 2 o’clock. The sun is rising on its own as did the napping girl.
    Transitive verbs, like raise, require an object. “Raise” requires an object to cause the motion. E.g., she raised her hand to answer the question; She raised the girl up onto his shoulders. The girl moved her own arm to answer the question and physically lifted the child onto his shoulders.

    Raise is a regular verb: raise, raised, raised

    Rise is an irregular verb: rise, rose, risen

    Ronnie

      yeah right but i still love you

      firasaboala

      thanks Ronie much!

      chickie

      Kardi Siboro

        You can use this to teach someone! No problem!!

Hi Ronnie,

I like your way of teaching,good work!!!I am a graduate in Software engineering.I passed out in 2011,but i didn’t get any job yet because of my poor english speaking ability.When i go for an interview,i ll get nervouse and i wont be able to answer any of the questions thereafter.I know the answers but i don’t know how to express that idea in english,may be because of my poor vocabulary.And i dont know how to differenciate between past,present and future…and when to use can,could,may,might,will,would..etc.Please help me.

Hi Ronnie, i’m brazilian and i love your lessons! i would like to ask you about a question: i heard sometimes a lot of texts using ‘ing’ as infinitive. An Example is “I enjoy browsing through the paper pages”, in portuguese it looks like a infinitive, there’s some rule about it or i’ve ‘lost the point’. Thank you so much. :D

sheeda

Hello Ronnie, Thank you very much for your lesson. I have a doubt with the quiz no. 2, please clarify my understanding. Before this lesson I ever learned the lesson of Emma that is “Grammar Mistakes – GROW or GROW UP?” followed this link….. https://www.engvid.com/grow-or-grow-up/. Emma’s lesson is not compare the different of tense so after I learned your lesson I have a question to ask you, when to use “grow up” and when to use “grew up”. The more I think, the more I confuse because it can use in both situation of children say about now and future and adult say about the past ????? -_- Thanks for your time ^_^

prapatsornpal

Dear Ronnie I would like to thank you very much for not only this lesson in particular but for all the amazing, enthusiastic and interesting engvid lessons of yours. You are an excellent teacher. In one of your lessons, you mentioned that after am/is/are we should add to the verb ed/ing, I would like to know if the same rules apply when you use was/were. For example, I was tired, they were engaged in the

ilerey

Thx Ms!
I was born in Rwanda. or I grew up in Rwanda.

Ronnie, are these 2 sentences same?

Paul HITIMANA

    That’s a really good question! They don’t mean the same thing, because sometimes people move around. For example:

    “I was born in Rwanda, but my family left the country when I was just a baby. I grew up in Tanzania.”

    Or, “I have lived in Canada for most of my life, but I grew up in Rwanda.”

    Does that help?

    engVid Moderator

      Thank you!

      Paul HITIMANA

Ronnie, i need your help about when do we use present perfect tense. because i always make confusion with simple past.
