I won :)
Thanx Mr.Alex
Nice job!
Alex I really wanna thank you for helping me learn English you are very very very nice guy. Whatever I say wont be enough so I’m going to say only thank you 10/10 :)
Useful expressions to talk about sports Alex. However, this time we couldnΒ΄t get rid of the verb+preposition combinations either.
The use of the correct preposition, however, help us to convey our ideas properly.
Thanks for this superb video-lesson Alex.
Ciao

Thanks!MR Alex

If Poland is not in the World Cup, I usually cheer for Germany. I have an uncle who lives there, and I’ve always enjoyed watching Germany’s style. I know a lot of people dislike it, though.
It was blew me up.
Im bad:(
Pretty good! I got 9/10.
That means, I could say ” Arsenal were beaten by Chelsea 9-10″ I’m so sorry but I’m a great big fan of Chelsea. So never mind! Thank you, Alex-The Lion “I watched Madagascar”

That’s great to hear! Thank you so much!
Nice video, Alex!

and the quiz blowout :D
thanks mr.alex
Thx teacher… :)
I did it.
thanks, Mr Alex
I have a question.
“Josh and Peter are siblings, another siblings are JJ and loner”.
“Josh and Peter are siblings, other siblings are JJ and loner”.
“Josh and Peter are siblings; another pair of siblings are JJ and Loner.”
I’m not sure if this is your intention, though.
FC Barcelona is more than a club for many reasons. Not because they’ve won a treble twice (three trophies in a single season)or because they’ve been the only team in Europe which has won six trophies in a year. But because they represent freedom of speech, especially under the Franco dictatorship, but also Independence of Catalonia and any other country in the world, just like Canada did on July 1st, 1867.
Ja,Ja, ja…You have some sort of confussion about Spain. Catalonian is part of Spain and will remain Spanish till the end of times.
That’s what people like you said about Mexico, Cuba, etc. I’m sorry, nothing is forever. Oh, and I will pretend your comment didn’t sound totalitarian. Remember your own words and we’ll see who right and who’s not. Have a good one.
i should repeat this video again because i got just 6/10 and i hope get 10/10 in next
That’s the right attitude. Review and try again.
very useful video, thanks master alex
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Unfortunately, I could not become a pro at speaking about the sports, because I am not a fan with those kinds of sports such as soccer, hockey, baseball. But I have learned the important vocabulary related to sports.
However, the quiz was beaten totally by Chloe. And all in all, Chloe blew the quiz out. Wow!…Go Gunners.
Thank you for this fun and useful lesson, teacher Alex. :)
Very nice
I was beat by the quiz .7-0 for me but I don’t feel that it is good
Hi Alex, I know this is completely out of topic but I was just wondering, about the use of “a few / few “, I saw a video on here that if you say, “I have FEW pens”, it means that you don’t have enough pens whereas “I have A FEW PENS” means you have enough. So my question is, does this rule apply to when, how do i explain this.. say, someone asks you “have you been to London before?”, Is it grammatically correct to answer with “yes a few times”?
Yes, that is correct. :)
great less, Alex…thank you…it was very accessible.
great lesson, Alexβ¦thank youβ¦it was very accessible.
Thanks. That’s what I was trying to do.
I like this lesson because I often watch Major League Baseball. It’s very helpful for me. Though the Jays made 11-streak win, and temporarily were on the top of the standing, they are now 2nd place due to beaten by theYanks. Today, Tanaka has done a complete game against the Jays. AL east division is as hot as this summer! Thank you, Alex!
Go Jays! I don’t follow baseball a lot these days, but I’m happy to see Toronto finally doing well after all these years.
This is my 1St visit and i got a great experience
9\10 thanks so much for the expliaciΓ³n Mr alex
This was my first class wiht you, very interesting and fun,thank you for all, i am going to take a lot a classes.
Welcome to EngVid! Thank you very much for watching.
Thanks Alex!
Now, I know how to speak about sport matches in English. I will use this to talk to others about sports, excluding soccer :-)
The quiz was a nail-biter.
7/10 :-( I never thought I could fail this quiz, but …. It happens. It was a blow out, I think.
Thank you Alex I got 8 correct out of 10 . I really like your lesson because I love football match.
this is my first time parctice English with you
i got 8/10….so exiting
thx so much
Wow 9/10!!!
One little “t” on “bitter” and I didn’t do all correct =(…
Hi Alex,
What a fantastic lesson! You have taught me this everyday English that I can use to communicate with friends in daily life. It is more than the dull English learned in school for taking the exam.
Fully support you as a fan living far far away on another side of the globe.
Thanks a lot. I genuinely appreciate your support.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot, i got 9/10 ;)
Hi Alex, wouldnΒ΄t be “Chelsea WAS beaten” instead Chelsea were beaten? I assume tha Chelsea as a group should be considered in the third singular person. Thanks!
Good catch! “Chelsea were beaten” is acceptable in British English, which uses third-person plural with groups. The UK is the heart of English-speaking football culture, and so I think this is why Alex uses a bit of British English here.
Hi Alex, great lesson about the sports. Thanks!!!
I love football
thanks a lot.
Good lesson ALEX ! Could you make lesson about rugby ? This will be great I Think )
I don’t think I know enough about rugby to make a useful video, but maybe one of the other teachers would be interested in this!
the lesson is very good
very nyc lesson
Thnk you Alex !
Thank you teacher. i got 8/10 _*_
I am not really a football fan but I love Barcelona because of Messi
That’s a good reason. Messi is a wonderful soccer player.
Very good lesson.Thanks
Thank you Alex.
You’re very welcome.
Wow ! great thanks my Gunner ^_^ Alex
I love soccer, but in my country the baseball is the sport most popular. My favorite soccer team is the Barcelona, it’s the best team of the momment.
Alex your explanation was spectacular, congratulations!
Thank you very much!
I know that baseball is the most popular sport in Venezuela. The Blue Jays are lucky to have Encarnacion!
9/10
9/10 tnx
Alex, I have a doubt.
Why not say “Chelsea was beaten by Arsenal”?
This is also possible. However, “was” comes after “it”, and I would never say “It was beaten by Arsenal” to refer to soccer. I will always say “They were beaten by Arsenal,” which is why I say “Chelsea were beaten by Arsenal” in the video.
…and now I just like typing Chelsea were beaten by Arsenal. Haha.
very cool
9/10, this quiz was beaten by me =).
Thanks a lot, Alex. The lesson is helpful.
9/10))) thank you Mr. Alex for your lesson)))it was very interesting for me)
Hi Alex, my favourit teacherβ¦so nice lessonβ¦I wish I had you in our school in Toronto as a teacher for English learners or my private teacher β¦the method of teaching in our school is really boring cuz they always focus on writing essay and I donβt like it.
Writing is definitely important, but it needs to be combined with oral practice.
thanks a lot dr
Oh, I was beaten by the test!! I need to repeat lhe lesson again.
Try again and see if you can improve!
have you ever thought about record lesson together? i think it will be great.
It’s difficult to coordinate our schedules because we live in different parts of Toronto, and I actually live around Montreal. However, I will let you know that we all had dinner together this past weekend, and there is a special video coming!
i mean two teacher
Thank you
thankyou very much
10/10. A very helpful lesson. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Fantastic job!
Thanks Alex,It’s a good lesson.
Can you explain how use once in a sentence
Once I make a video, I’ll let you know. :) You can basically use it as a substitute for “When” in a lot of cases, but it’s a little more complex, so a video might be a good idea.
thank you teacher is really amazing..
Thank you very much!
Your explication is easy to understand. Thank you! Congrats! :)
Thanks, Giovana. Also, don’t forget to say “explanation” instead of “explication”. :)
thank you alex .
i confuse between blowout and blow out
“Blowout” is a noun.
-The game was a blowout.
-I think it’s going to be a blowout
“Blow (someone) out” is a phrasal verb.
-Arsenal blew out Aston Villa.
-Barcelona blew them out!
I hope this helps a little bit.
7 / 10
:D
Not bad! Keep studying!
Thank you Alex you are full of energy an pay a lot of attention to your learners I hope you would be so for ever
As long as I’m healthy, I’ll be this way! :)
Thank you teacher, i’m very happy to be with you as a learner

In italian language a team is considered a “third person” but in english isn’t.
So, I cannot say Chelsea WAS beaten by Arsenal.
It’s right?
thanks Alex!

Hello Alex! Quite interesting lesson. Brazil lost against Germany in the last World Cup. The score was 7-1. It was a blowout. And a shame too. Everything happened at home… By the way, can I use the verb “to support” in other situations? For instance: “I am supporting my brother in his new job” (I mean I hope he gets on in his new job). Thank you in advance.
9/10 score…Thanks a lot, teacher :)
Almost perfect 8/10
amazing lesson
Merci Alex pour cette leΓ§on Γ l’usage des fans de football.
Hi Alex. As an Arsenal fan do you remember russian player Andrey Arshavin ? The four goals against Liverpool at 2009 were unforgettable. Have you seen Euro 2008 and what do you think about Russian national team and Arshavin there?
P.S. Did I write this sentence correctly?
I got 8/10. Thanks for the lesson! I live in Italy and I am an Inter Milan fan!
