    Putting into practice what you have just learned, eh? Good for you Rena! It seems to me that Adam has no other option.

    Bye for now.

Very useful lesson!
:D

Thank you Adam for your useful lesson. I am in doubt, nonetheless. “6. I wonder if Tom will come to the party.” I was absolutely inaccurate in this case. Although the right answer was “both are correct”, I’d rather disagree because I was taught that we should avoid to use “if” with “will”. Thus the right answer had to be “whether” from my point of view. Could you explain this issue for me?

Gosha

    Hi Gosha,

    You are confusing ‘if’ as a noun clause conjunction with ‘if’ used as a conditional clause conjunction. If you will study hard, you can pass the test– this sentence is incorrect because you can’t use if+will. But when used as a noun clause (to show option) it is ok.

    Does this help?

    Adam

      Hi, Adam.
      1) What’s the right for your example – “If you study hard, you will pass the test.” – That is?
      2) About N 6: I don’t understand the meaning – “I wonder whether Tom will come”… It means I wonder in any case? – he will come/he will not come/ he will die/ he will will sleep / …. , anyway I wonder ???

      vev17

        Sorry, I meant (N 6) – Tom will come or Tom won’t come – in both case I wonder ??

        vev17

          I had the same question until I opened dictionary and understood:

          “I wonder” in this case is not “be surprised”, “I wonder” = “I ask myself”
          or “I’m interested”.
          So I wonder whether Tom will come to the party OR NOT COME – is correctly.

          Ranger12

          Hi Vev,

          I’m not sure if you had the same issue as Ranger, in which wonder means be curious or ask myself. So I wonder if he will come, means I am not sure and am curious whether he will come or not.

          1 is correct ;)

          Adam

          I understand. Thank you!

          vev17

          I understand now

          Lilibeth123

        1- yes

        2- I am curious to find out if he will come or not

        Adam

      Hello.
      I think you should make a video of a minute or less, and make this conditional clause conjunction and noun clause conjunction thing more clear regarding the use of ‘IF’.

      Zeeshan Abbasi

Oh God! I was terrible in this quiz.I`ve just got 5 correct out of 10. I will have to study this lesson again and again and again

Briklend Handersson

Thank you Adan!!
Your lessons have helped me a lot.
this was the first teacher I know on engvid website, and now I can realize my improviment.
I cannot say thank you enough!!

    “Adam” :p

    anderson-weider

Thank you, Adam! You make english grammar easier,

Gofeli

Aren’t the questions 6 and 10 the same case?
Why are the question 6 both if and whether and the 10 only whether?

samuel.martins

    I think that I’ve found the answer:
    “We use whether and not if after prepositions” (Cambridge Dictionary Online)
    Is that really the case?

    samuel.martins

    Hi Samuael,

    The preposition is part of the story, but the main idea is that in sentence 10, the ‘or not’ is understood and therefore not mentioned. But the idea of it is there. ‘depends on’ here, suggests that you will progress, but the speed will depend on A (try hard) or B (not try hard). If we used ‘if’ the idea would be that you wouldn’t progress at all, but we already know you will progress.

    Does this help?

    Adam

      hello adam I’ve got 7 to 10 on your lesson about if and whether is right?

      dekasse

      sir, IS there any logical reason behind using whether after preposition ?

      IMeMyself

      I’m still having a hard time trying to “see” that difference in the question number 10. About number 6, does it change the meaning of the sentence the choice between “if” or whether?

      Adrianoy

Tanks a million Mr Adam.it was great

heidar

Great Lesson Adam!
Thanks!
Jesus Loves you!
:D

tiagoamericoo

Both correct but whether more better to use:p

hachom

Thank you

chowva1

Thank you very much. Now I know they are not completely the same thank to you :)) “You are handsome whether people notice or not!” Am I correct? :)))

Sebert

    If you say so Sebert ;)

    Adam

Adam. As usual great lesson. It’s very useful study pair words. Often I think about it. I mean, when to use this word, or when use that word.Thank You.

eurokolchoznik

Thanks alot mr Adam.You gave us a very very prasious and useful lessonAnd I hope you will always give us this type of lesson so once again thanks alot and a bundle of thanks

Usama Shaikh

what is nounphrase

mani chandu

    I think this: for example, we have a structure: “to say to someone”, someone in this case is used as a noun. So when you say: “He said to his teacher that he couldn’t come.” According to the structure, you can see “someone” is “his teacher” in the sentence. So it’s a NOUN PHRASE. Because “his teacher” isn’t a noun, it’s a phrase but it’s used as a noun so it’s called noun phrase. Hope i am correct :)))

    Sebert

    Hi Mani,

    Sebert was close. A noun phrase is a phrase with a noun as the main focus and modifyers used to identify or describe the noun:

    the boy in my son’s second-grade class–this is a noun phrase with the boy being the main noun. The other parts identify which boy.

    Does this help?

    Adam

Thank you!

longloveu

Thanks ! :-)

xFabian

Thank v much “Adam Sir”, awesome straightforward explanation,. :) .

DJ-Dharm-Jarwani

5/10 Ugh… I understood the lesson, the concept, but when comes the moment to chose between one or the other the sentences let me very confused. Anyway for me “if” in the majority of the cases and “whether” when is possible two alternatives. Thank you Adam.

Jorge Pedroso

I got 80%
Thanks Adam

Alaa Taha

Thanks a lot Mr.Adam. You’re doing a great job as usual very useful lessons.
The way you teach is amazing. Keep up the good work.

abood2012

Good lesson very usefull! Thanks!

I got a little question, hope it won’t bother you!
I know it’s not the topic but when you say for instance ” my key fell out of my pocket” Could you put “from” instead of “of”?
My key fell out From my pocket!
Thanks very much

Klownerz

    Hi, there! I’m not a native speaker, but the two sentences have a different meaning for me. “My key fell out of my pocket” means it didn’t get in when you tried to put it in you pocket. In the other hand, “My key fell out from my pocket” means the key was inside your pocket but it fell out. Hope it helps

    Sandrab92

    Hi Klownerz,

    Both can mean the same thing, but I would say the key fell from my pocket, without the ‘out’. The ‘from’ includes the ‘out’.

    Adam

I don’t know why i felt that you were not energetic as always while explaining this lesson,Adam.:-/
Anyways,Thanks a lot for one more useful lesson :)
Take care :)

TEJALKK

    well, I think he is human, people don’t have to be always energetic or happy. And what is important, is that he is always willing to help others to learn.

    iconica15

      Yes,you are absolutely right iconica15.i agree with you.I always appreciate his kind cooperation and willingness to help us.He is the best teacher ever for us.I think this feelings come spontaneously when we care and love that person a lot and the same thing goes with Adam :)Take care.

      TEJALKK

        Thank you for your response Tejalkk, take care you too.

        iconica15

      I don’t agree with either of you :-)
      As any other teacher on engVid, Adam does his job in an unbiased way. Maybe I can agree that each of them has their “style” of teaching or entertaining, but perfection doesn’t exist.
      Happy week start, guys! :-)

      Antonella

        Hi Antonella, I appreciate your comment, definitely Adam has a great style :).

        iconica15

        I do appreciate your view,it is true that all engvid teachers have fantastic and unique teaching style due to which it has become interesting learning english:)
        Have a great week ahead to you all guys and take care :-)

        TEJALKK

      well said!!!

      catwazel

    :) perhaps you’re right Tejalkk. I think I filmed that one pretty late. I’ll be better in future :)

    Adam

      Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to consider my comment,Adam :-)

      TEJALKK

I got 10 at the second try. =)

Knightsudd

“I’m coming over, whether you like or not…” :-)
Oohhh :-O
That sounds–a little–insolent and haughty… Try and see what happens. If you like it… (You might regret it!) Ha ha ha.

Hey, teacher Adam, even if can’t believe it, I got 9 answers correct out of 10.
Anyway, please explain better to me the last sentence:
“How quickly you progress depends mostly on ______ you try hard.”
Why does this sentence accept both if and whether? I chose if because I think one has no option to progress if he doesn’t try hard (condition), at least a little.
Thanks :-)

Antonella

    I think in this case whether is replacing the word “regardless”. I don’t think “if” can do this function.

    iconica15

      Thank you, Carolina ;-)
      Your explanation makes sense.

      Antonella

        Hello everybody , hello Antonella
        I try to give my explaination to the sentence you mentioned earlier .
        The beginning of the sentence is ‘how’ and this interrogation expects to possibilities so ‘wether ‘ seems the good option . . If you work hard you will progess or if you don’t work with enough assiduity you won’t quickly progess . You just can say ‘ wether you try hard or not ‘ .’ Wether’ can’t be replaced by ‘ regardless ‘ in that case . Hope that helps .

        tsamp

          Wow, tsamp! Your explanation is powerful.
          Thanks! :-)
          To be honest, I don’t remember now what I chose! Ha ha ha, poor me.
          I would now use ‘whether’ because it sounds better, but let’s leave out such hyperbolic doubts. I have more important things to think about in life.
          Thanks again :-)

          Antonella

        Your welcome, hopefully I’m right, otherwise I’d appreciate some corrections.

        iconica15

    According to the Macmillan Dictionary, after “the preposition” you have to put “whether” instead of “if”: << There are doubts about whether the system is safe.

    AlessandroItaly

      That’s true too Alessandro, but it’s also about the idea of how quickly you will progress, not if you will progress or not.

      Good point taken though :)

      Adam

        Thank you Adam very very much, your explanation is very important because on Macmillan there isn’t it or, maybe, I haven’t realized again the explanation on Mac. In every case, thank you again. You are a great teacher as always!

        AlessandroItaly

    Hi Antonella,

    Actually, I think it only accepts whether for #10. The question isn’t whether you will progress or not. You will progress. The question is how quickly, so the speed depends on whether you try hard or not, and the ‘or not’ is understood so not written.

    Does this help?

    Adam

      Thanks, Adam.
      I checked again that sentence by retaking the test and you are right :)

      Antonella

      Precisely, the question is ‘if you try hard you’ll progress quickly if not you won’t progress so quickly’. So the question is ‘if you do something or not’ = ‘whether you do something or not’ ( no need to write ).
      Two things/choices, one or another.
      #3. Why not the red one, the dark one and so on? Because the answer could be :’ Neither of them, he took the yellow one’.
      What is my mistake?

      aroibas

    To me, the last sentence doesn’t convey “Regardless”. It is actually giving two options in which “or not” is dropped.

    sonofsun

Very usefull information. At extra classes we learnt about if|whether, but they didn’t explain the differences between them, so I just want to thank you Adam.

    Mauro

      Hi Mauro,
      You are nice. I am very glad to have your answer; plus, I have just learnt one sentence from you.
      Thanks for your feed back. My best to you.

      Chloe.Lee

    Hi Chloe,

    Mauro gave a good answer. Actually, when you are in doubt about a structure, just use a different one that you are sure of.

    I will give the money back to you as soon as I can whether today or tomorrow.– in this case, say either as soon as I can OR either today or tomorrow. Saying both is redundant.

    I wonder whether/if my sentence… both ok, but I’d go with ‘if’ :)

    Regardless,

    Adam

      To my favorite teacher Adam.

    Adam

Thank you very much for teaching. I could not understand regardless. When do we use “regardless” related to “whether”

Thanks,

Respectfully,

Ariunbolor Purvee

ariunbolor

    Hi ariunbolor,

    Regardless of whether you believe me or not, you are the right person for the job.
    Regardless means ‘it doesn’t matter’. I believe what I believe and your opinion is not going to change that.

    Does this help?

    Adam

Thank you Adam, it´s was very helpful.

pabloperez1010

i got 8 out of 10..ha ha ha

Adam, I am confused with the use of, if or Whether, when a word is used as the other or when both.

    Hi Gil,

    Watch the video again. Can you give me a specific example?

I like the way you teach. Thanks for helping me learning English.

    Adam

Dear Respected Sir Adam,
I have a question? The below mentioned phrase is not comparative then why we are using whether here? Please advice
“How quickly you progress depends mostly on whether you try hard”

farina 123

    He’s said the ‘or not (Regardless)’ is implicit.
    “How quickly you progress (OR NOT) depends monstly on whether you try it hard.”

    Doumeki

    Hi Farina,

    We are discussing whether you will progress quickly or progress not quickly; we are not asking if you will progress or not.

    Does this help?

    Adam

Very useful lesson indeed

Thank you very mucho for the video.

MartinGzaGzman

Hey, I have a question about 2nd quiz question:
“Please let the front desk know _________ you need extra towels.”
Right answers are both (if, whether), but logically we should call front desk only if we need extra towels, so there is only 1 right answer – if.
Am I wrong?

icebeer

    Hi Icebeer,

    Technically, you’re right. I didn’t provide enough context. However, Some people always want extra towels, so once they check the room they can decide whether they have enough or not.

    Good point made , though. I’ll take care with context in future.

    Adam

      Sorry, another point. In some formal situations, people will use whether instead of if just for the formality of it. That;s a choice though.

      Adam

Thanks Adam for this great video.
If I want to master this piece of grammar, I have to practice more and more whether it’s difficult or not.
I’m looking forward to watching your next video.
Thanks again.

great lesson. Thanks again!

theus0307

Thank you, Adam! That really helped!
I have a question but it’s not about this lesson. When I speak in English with somebody and I talk about the future I get confused with using ”will’ and ‘going to’. What is the difference between these two and when do we use each of them? I ask my teacher about it but I still don’t get it but when I watch your videos and everything I didn’t understand at school gets clear thanks to you. :) So I will be happy if you explain it for me! :)
Thanks in advance! :) Have a nice day. :)

Annie00

    Hi Annie,

    Use will when talking about the future that you decided on at the time of speaking. For example, if you just got the idea to go to the beach and someone asks “what will you do this weekend?”, say I’ll go to the beach. Going to is used when you had already decided before and maybe even made some plans. In this case, you would say “I’m going to the beach”.

    Also, for immediate present action, use will– the doorbell rings, and you say I’ll get it (now).

    Does this help?

    Adam

Very useful lesson!
Thank you, Adam!

Whether to use if or whether is a somewhat complex decision, however, whether we like or not, this issue must be tackled.

    Adam

Sir, what is the difference between less and lesser. I get totally confused about those aforementioned words. I would be highly thankful to you if you make a video discussing the differences….Waiting for the video…Thank you..

Abb

    Hi Apurba,

    Less is a comparative adjective (I have less money than you). Lesser is an adjective of quality (His car is of a lesser brand than mine).

    less — more
    lesser — better

    Does this help? I’ll see what I can do about a video

    Adam

      Thank you sir, thank you very much.You do not even know yourself, How much I owe you for this. It is not like that I did not take the help of others….I watched many a videos to find out the difference between them, but I could not get until I got to know that lesser is the opposite word of best……Thank you….Thanks a ton..

      Abb

        Sorry mistyped I actually wanted to say LESSER IS THE OPPOSITE WORD OF BETTER’.

        Abb

hello Adam thank you for the lesson i got 8/10 :)

Best lesson Mr. Adm.

fazil Rahman

I like the lesson, thanks)
But I don’t understand one point. There was a sentence “Do you know _________ he took the blue one or the white one?” in the quiz, and it seemed to me that both if and whether were correct. The sentence is quiet like the second example in the video.

But I don’t understand one point. There was a sentence “Do you know _________ he took the blue one or the white one?” in the quiz, and it seemed to me that both if and whether were correct. The sentence is quite like the second example in the video. Where am I wrong?

liliumsapiens

    But this comment is important because it contains my question!

    liliumsapiens

      Hi Lilium,

      Here we have a direct choice between blue and white, so the correct answer is whether (not if), because we are asking about one or the other. (technically, you can use ‘if’, but then you are asking if I know or don’t know his actions, meaning he could have taken either one, both, or neither).

      Does this help?

      Adam

        Yes, thank you!
        You’ve made it clearer to me.

        liliumsapiens

        If I got it right, the sense of the sentence depends on using ‘if’ or ‘whether’.

        liliumsapiens

          Indeed :)

          Adam

How well………………….?
Спасибо.

KATRIN777

Adam couldn’t you make a lesson about interrogative sentences which begin with HOW WELL,HOW MUCH,HOW LONG?
For instance: how long time ago (did) you went(go) to school? (sentences like this are difficalt for me(I mean their grammar))Thank you Adam.(it’s important and I think many others in this forum will
approve it)

KATRIN777

    sorry like THESE/

    KATRIN777

      Hi Katrin,

      I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, remember that the adjective that follows ‘how’ contains the meaning of the question (how long ago = when in the past, how much time before…)

      Adam

        So it must be: How long time ago did you go to school?

        KATRIN777

          No need for time (how long means how much time).

          How long ago did you…

          Adam

thank you sir.

    Good luck :)

Thanks Adam, where can I find more tests to study such topic more properly?

    Hi Michael,

    Do a Google search. you will be surprised by the number of sites that offer all kinds of quizzes. :)

    Adam

Thank you

badrino

thanks a lot. It’s very useful

Kartiko

Thank you, Adam! Your’re my favorite teacher))

Salo Daria

Thank you, Adam. But for me this lesson not very clear((

sashadana

Thank you. Adam! It is very interesting and clear lesson. I thought that I understand this lesson, but my test result is only 7 correct out of 10 :(
And I don’t understand my mistakes.
Question #2 – Please let the front desk know _________ you need extra towels. Why answer if is incorrect? IF you need extra towels THEN let know. It is condition, right?
Question #3 – Do you know _________ he took the blue one or the white one? I answered – both are correct
Question #10 – How quickly you progress depends mostly on ______ you try hard. I answered – both are correct

Could you, please, explain these questions?
Thanks!

Elena

    Hi Elena

    2- both are correct because whether is more formal (hotel worker to customer) and because some people automatically ask for extras. I should have given more context on that, but the formal part is still true.

    3- completely different meanings for each– whether– choice of blue or white. If I use ‘if’ then I am asking about your knowledge of his actions. Technically, can be correct, but not a common question– I would ask “do you know what he did?”
    10- one point is that you shouldn’t use if after a preposition. More importantly, though, is that the ‘or not’ is understood here. We are comparing quick progress vs. slow progress, not progress or no progress (how quickly suggests that progress is coming regardless)

    Does this help a little?

    Adam

      Thank you for the reply, Adam! It does help me a lot.
      Question #2 is still not completely clear for me. But #3 and #10 became absolutely clear.
      Thanks so much for your lessons and answering our questions.

      Elena

        Thanks for your question.It’s all same to me.Now I understand by Adam’s answer.Thank u,Adam!
        But I feel that:
        Question #3 – Do you know _________ he took the blue one or the white one?
        is similar with
        Excample #2- Do you know if(whether) the exam is on Friday or Saturday.
        So I didn’t think of any more to choice the answer both.Maybe Question 3# he have more selection, Excample #2 exam is limited to a few day.Is this understand right?

        Bob1975

          oh,He has more selections.The exam,a few days.

          Bob1975

only 5/10, I thougth I got the point.
thx anyway.

Hello Adam,Thank you so much for your teaching, I got the point 3/10 only, I will try to improve my english, but pls help me how I start to study english (Ex.: grammar, vocabulary …. which one first) Thanks

Anna99

    Hi Anna,

    I would start with vocab and basic grammar structures like verb tenses and parts of speech. Then move to clauses and phrases and so on.

    Really, it’s up to you. Some people learn by doing, so engage more. Others learn by reading, so read more, etc. Find out what way you learn best, then build a program for studies from that.

    Good luck :)

    Adam

I didn’t understand question 10.Can you please explain it?

aminmehdi01

    Hi Aminmeh,

    We use whether here because, one point, you shouldn’t use if after a preposition. More importantly, though, is that the ‘or not’ is understood here. We are comparing quick progress vs. slow progress, not progress or no progress (how quickly suggests that progress is coming regardless)

    Does this help?

    Adam

sir, i want speak english with very well because coming 1 month i will attend the interview in my job career..so pls any one teachers and brothers and teachers correct me!!

gokul r k

Thank you everyone :)

Adam

Hi Adam thank you for shedding light on the topic that I’d been having problem with.If only we had facebook group on Facebook so that we can practice our english by chating each other on the group.

moha egypt

Thanks Mr. Adam…I enjoy your teaching very much :D

MumuhMB

Could you please tell me how to use independent and independence. Many Thanks

joellechan

    Hi Joel,

    Independent is an adjective, independence is a noun.

    I want to be an independent person, but the only way to have independence is by getting a job and money.

    Does this help?

    Adam

Thank you, Adam.Great lesson.

Sonia1234

tks for the class teacher, but in my opinion, when the “right answer is both are correct, if you choose one of them, the question must be correct, can you understand me?

Andreagiugliani

    Hi Andrea,

    I do understand, but then it wouldn’t be entirely correct if you missed half the correct answer ;)

    Adam

Thx.That’s really helpful :D

Jennyhuynh.leo

It was a great lesson. The more we study, the less mistakes we ll do about this topic. Thanks a lot!!!

Alexandra 64

Very nice lesson

Laiwang

Thank you. This is very practical.

MichaMup

thanks. I’ve got 6 out of 10.
if I want to improve my English I have to study hard.

trozo

Hi Adam, as always your lessons are fantastic: you explain everything in a clear and easy way to understand although still detailed and complete.

In this particular lesson I was just wondering if you can explain us a little bit better how we can distinguish a noun clause from an adverb clause as I am not sure I can say the difference between
“Do you know if Dan is coming? (noun clause)” and
“Let me know if you are coming” (adverb clause)

Thanks a lot and please, keep uploading new and wonderful lessons!

BenniBetta

    Hi Benni,

    Fair enough. Try reversing the order:

    If Dan is coming, do you know?
    If you are coming, let me know.

    The second works as a conditional, the first does not.

    Although, technically, you can say the second one is using the noun clause as a complement.

    Does this help a little?

    Adam

According to your explanation, I undrestood that in the example:

Do you know _________ he took the blue one or the white one?

the answer could be “both are correct”, because of the “noun clause”. But the correct one is only “whether”.
Could you explain it a little more? Thanks…

eortega64

    Hi Eortega,

    The question is more about the blue or the red, a choice, which suggests whether. If we used if, then the question is about your knowledge of his actions (he took the red, the blue, both, neither), so the meaning changes. That being said, if could technically be correct, but then you would likely change the question to begin with.

    Does this help?

    Adam

10 out of 10.thanks for the lesson adam

tomal

Hello Adam!
I just wanna say that I enjoy all your lessons!
But, actually, I got a little confused with this lesson… It’s a little complicated for me to understant that exist 2 ways: If and Whether.
So, I’ll keep practicing…
See you!

thank you

mang thang

    Hi Mang,

    If waht is the beginning of a conditional clause with a noun clause inside.

    What if is the beginning of a hypothetical question or scenario:

    I know you don’t like him, but what if you had to live with him?

    (not the best example, but hopefully you get the idea)

    Adam

dawa lama

Thanks for the explanation, Mr. Adam.
I have a question, does whether has the same meaning with ‘either’ and ‘neither’?

sincerely,

ibrahim muhammad amin

    Hi Ibrahim,

    No, those are prepositions that refer to one or both of two things.

    Adam

      thank you so much, Sir!

      ibrahim muhammad amin

Hi Adam! thank you for the lesson!
but , I think there is a problems in those quizzes

the 10th ,I strongly feel that it should be like ” How quickly you progress mostly depends on How hard you would try.”

please tell me if I’m wrong.

lklh222

    Hi Lklh,

    You’re not wrong:

    How quickly you progress mostly depends on how hard you try.

    But this is just another way of saying it.

    …on whether you try hard (or not)–this essentially provides the same option.

    Adam

Thank you for lesson! I got 9/10.

I’m confused but my score went well.. Yey! ;)

Hello,
Thank you Adam, it’s very interesting lesson,
Please, I can’t understand when we can use both of ” if ” and ” whether “

Bdouda

    Hi Bdouda,

    If the situation is one where two possibilities exist, you can use either one.

    I don’t know if this is right or not.
    I don’t know whether this is right or not.

    Adam

You are both handsome and clever thanks a lot :)

ozgekayaaaaaa

Thanks Adam :) Great lesson!

muratdemir

Sir, it was an awesome lesson.
Sir, please check if the following sentence is incorrect,
“I don’t know whether or not to eat something before dinner”.

Abb

    Hi Apurba,

    “I don’t know whether or not to eat something before dinner”. this is ok.

    Adam

      Thank you sir for giving the answer.
      Sir, would you please tell me which one is correct among the following sentences,
      “What did Steve Job die of?”
      “Why did Steve Job die of?”
      “How did Steve Job die of?”

      Abb

Adam, I have a question. If a sentence ends with “or not”, we should use “whether” and can’t use “if”. Am I right? By the way thanks a lot for the lesson.

yuzars

Hiii Adam!
Should I use do or does with somebody, everybody, anybody.

Bahadorzadehalraisi

    Hi Bahadorzadehalraisi,

    Use does (these are all singular pronouns).

    Adam

6th point of the queez – I wonder _________ Tom will come to the party. Do you realy use “will” in condition clauses? I am not sure it is correct. I would say I wonder if(whether) Tom comes to the party.

Hexor

I got 70 points. I think I should watch this video again and try to figure it out.Anyway,thanks for this lesson.Oh! I almost forgot :)! Can you tell me the difference between using “should” and “better” in daily conversation?

suong mai

Thanks Adam for lovely lesson !

uhayat

thanxxxx Adam.

Bahadorzadehalraisi

thanks Adam for your teaching

lench

This lesson is so complicated, but you make it clear. Thank you so much.

Ning Archaree

I have a request. It would really very much apreciated if you could make a lesson about using WILL after IF. I know, it’s ok to use WILL after if as long as it’s not conditional. I tried finding such topics on the internet and i wasn’t satisfied with the given examples. Native speakers themselves can’t really explain when we can use it.
In the song by Savage Garden in the chorus : i would fly to the moon and back if YOU”LL be my baby….

Nickolai

I don t understand this lesson, i m confused by ….OR NOT. :(

Antony io

thanks for your lesson!!

Rasim01

Hi Adam, Thanks for lesson! Can you please explain why question 4 not having the right answer “both are correct” instead of “if”.
” Question-4. Can you let me know _______ anyone calls for me, please? “

sam023041

Even though your lesson is very clear, it is very hard to get the right one sometimes. It seems that you need either a little more context or information to exactly know which you should use between them.

lukeman

Thanks a lot, Adam! I have been waiting for this lesson!

Symon

Thanks Adam

Salman almutairi

Can I mention three options when I use “If” ?

Would you like to upload the video about “WHEN AND WHILE” ? Because I am confused which one is proper to use in my writing. Thanks Mr. Adam.

Could you explain why the answer on number 7 and 9 is using if? I don’t get it well.

YacubFahmilda

Very helpful, Thank you

mdaker

Hi. Thanks for your amazing lessons. I had a question regarding if and whether. Can you tell me when we use commas in sentences with “if” or “whether”? Is there a situation where a comma can be optional? Thank you so much.

Thanks Adam.7of10.

Thanks fro the lesson
You rock !

It’s clear for me when to use Whether… But I don’t know when to use Whether or if :(

Rickubai

Thanks for your lesson Adam!
I have a question about 2th
“Please let the front desk know _________ you need extra towels.”
The answer is both are correct.But do the answers”if”and”whether have the same meaning?
I think if I use “if” , “if you need extra towels” can be a conditional clause. is this right? thanks!

ts821171

It is not clear when both are possible. It seems it’s possible every time even if the meaning is different as explained with 2 otpions. Adam, Could you clarify ?

Thierry79

    Is the “regardless” subtlety make the difference or the case when we can use both ?

    Thierry79

Adam is the best teacher I’ve have in my life! thanks a lot! my english is improving day by day

Alan Teles

Thanks for new informations
You are really good at teaching.

The last question on the quiz I do not understand why both are correct , I thought it is conditional so I choosed if

Good Evening to Adam and to all. My name is Carla and I come from Italy. I have just found out engvid, it was suggested me by my English teacher. I am enjoying it very much, and I appreciated this and other lessons, thanks.
I wonder if weather, whether and wether have all same pronunciation.
Thanks!

Carla Letizia

Hi Adam, this lesson drives me crazy. I listened it three times, in three different moments. Every time it seems to me I got it, and so I do the quiz after.
First time I got 90%. Second 50% and this night, the last, 50% again.
I almost failed all answers about “both are correct”. I failed 2,3,4,9,10.
I cannot understand why.

Thank you for this lesson, Mr. Adam.
Yet I have a question.
If I want to say to a friend that I don’t know when the exam and also want to exaggerate my ignorance, can I say: “I don’t know if it is on Friday, Sunday or Monday.”
Here are more that three alternatives, the exam can be on Saturday as example. Would the sentence be grammatically correct? If not, how can I fix it?
Could you help me, please?

IgorSaf

Hello Adam,
First, thanks a lot for all your lessons.
It is very helpful for my understanding. I’m presently learning for the TOEIC exam.
About this lesson, I have a question.
In one of my test, I think have a case not explain in your movie.
The sentence is “It is highly doubtful _whether_ Kelvin is going to return to work after his illness.”
Does this sentence is corect? Could you tell me more about this sentence construction please?

Best regards,
Antony.

Adam is my most favorite teacher among the 12 teachers on this website.

rituelidaeli

Hi Adam,
First of all thanks for the great lessons. I’m still confused, though.

First, in your example ” Let me know whether/if you’re coming.” “Know” can be vi or vt if I’m right. If the “know” is vi, the clause should be adverb conditional clause. In such case both whether and if are correct, meaning regardless. Am I right?

Second, what you have explained question No 10 means that “whether” includes the meaning of how much effort being made and how s/o achieves something, whereas “if” indicates only the result being achieved or not. Is that it ?

Looking forward to your response. Thanks a bunch!

You Shan

good lesson

Hi comrade Adam, your channel is very useful, but I suggest to go to the depth of English and teach us how to answer our literature exams. I face difficulty when I study literature. In addition, I hope to talk about more advanced grammar go deep deep deep we want more knowledge man !! I like your accent, thank’s.

ABDUL MANNAN SHARIFF

I completly liked this lesson, “If” is a common conditional for me, now I had increased my vocabulary with “whether” for evertime I would have in a sentence more than one alternative…. “I will take the TOEFL to study in the US, weather you like it or not”… yeap.. I loved it. lol

Hello Adam. And I wanna ask you: there’s some questions in the quiz where “if” and “whether” are correctly to use. Why if i’ve chosen one of them system defines all sentence like wrong? I think, its silly

Hello Adam,

I always had the doubt how to use if and whether; today this lesson was great although the grammar is a little difficult, more if we don’t put it in practice, whether yes or not we need this grammatical norm. Bye…….. John

I got 7. It is a little tricky. I will succeed whether it takes two months or three months.

You are really great teacher. I Love so much your teaching style. I am learning free from you what ı need . May be it would be hard for me with money. Long live Adam

Hi Adam.Each and every time fill the quiz isn’t successfull,just scoring 50 or 60.I’m wondering why,but all the lesson put my attention.I’ve scored 60 in the quize this time.I have another problem,that I can’t use in sentences all the grammar tips,you are teaching.I’ve been working to write a good,a efficient sentences,but making mistakes all time.No body can correct my sentences around me.Maybe that’s way,taking many grammatical mistakes and struggling all the time for me.Thank you Adam.Best wish for you

Klausss

Hey Adam!
I hope you are fine. I really want to thank you for making your videos so informative. I have never taken any online English grammar classes before, but when I saw your video on youtube, I said to myself that he is the man I need to listen if I want to improve my English writing. Thanks a lot, Adam, for making things this much easier.

Hello Adam,

Thank you very much for your lessons. They are very helpful!
I have a question regarding the quiz.
#2: I answered if because I thought it was similar to your example “Let me know if Dan is coming”. I thought #2 was a condition: If you need towels (condition), please let us know; otherwise, don’t let us know. However, the right answer was “both are correct”. Could you comment on that, please? I would appreciate your help.

Cheers
Liza

    I also think that the second question is a conditional sentence.

    A to Z

Thanks Mr. Adam.

Alex-1956

I got 7 out of 10. I guess I am okay with this lesson. My mistakes questions are 4, 6, and 10. 10 is a tough question. Thank you mr. Adam.

Thank you!

iuryrodrigues15

thank you so much it helps a lot! love you and planning watch all videos been here !

englover99

7 out of 10 not bad for beginner ?

Vinceh87

Why can’t I see the question2 as a conditional sentence? I feel confused now. The word “know ” can be transitive or intransitive.

A to Z

I got 8 at first attempt. Thanks for the lesson, sir.

Kingsley Kunda

Thank you Adam. Very interesting lesson. 7/10

Hello, Adam. Thank you for the lesson.
I have a question for you.
In this sentence:
How quickly you progress depends mostly on ______ you try hard.
Is it ‘you progress’ or ‘your progress’? I’m a little bit confused.
I think must be ‘your progress’ Am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.

rossrdrz

    Now, I see. Progress in this case is a verb not a noun. I think that I have replied to myself. :)

    rossrdrz

Hi Adam,

I wrote an email to my customer saying “the delivery is tight, we are wondering whether we can make it or not”. Is this sentence right?

Gladys Lam

What a wonderful lesson! I did not tell the difference between these two words. Thank you very much.

HermanW

I’ll leave a comment here whether you reply to my comment or not. :)

Great lesson, thank you very much!

Dear Adam,
Although it was a little complicated for me, I got 80. Thank you for this lesson.

M.Karbalaei

I love all ur videos i have no complain either.but while answering quiz questions what if you add numbers on them to count on the questions.

yordisha

Dear Adam
I truly appreciate for all which you learn to us.

h.pourshanbeh@yahoo

Excelent Lesson Adam,

Could you please make a video explaining the proper use of ‘RATHER’?

Thanks in advance!

David Nin

Nice topic.

Ray28

Great lessons. Thanks

ek tola

Hey Dear Adam, I highly appreciate your efforts in explaining this wonderful lesson. I cannot see why both if and whether are correct for this sentence. “I wonder _________ Tom will come to the party.” because I believe the sentence does not contain two alternatives. Thus, to use whether the sentence should be as follows “I wonder whether Tom will come to the party or not”. Could you help me, please?
