You will surely have to ask and answer the important question of where and when you were born many times in your life. Yet many students make mistakes when providing this critical information. Watch this English lesson to get it right.
Great video. Great class!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!

I think you should also mention the preposition at when talking of specific place where one is born: ‘I was born at County General Hospital in Chicago, Illinois’
Mauro
Yes, thanks for this information, Mauro.
Rebecca
awesome
i understood well
vidya
Glad you did, Vidya. All the best to you.
Rebecca
Thank you Rebecca that was nice ^^
mouhcine
hi Rebecca it’s beautiful lesson i wanna know what difference in accent ”burn _ born ” can you help me
thanks a lot
caeser
It’s true that some people may not distinguish clearly between these two words.
You can pronounce “born” like I have in the video and also like the name Jason Bourne in the Bourne series of movies (Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, etc.)
The word “burn” is pronounced more like bern or turn or learn. The vowel u in the word burn takes on more of a short e sound, as in the words above.
My best to you, Caesar.
Rebecca
Thanks a lot.
Majed
why the preposition on be used ON your birthday.
Abdul Khaliq
The word “on” is used in the phrase “on your birthday” because we generally use “on” when we refer to one day or one date. Examples are:
on Monday
on January 25
on New Year’s Day
Therefore, we also say:
on my /your / his / her birthday
Hope this helps, Abdul. All the best to you.
Rebecca
Hi dear Rebecca,
This lesson will help students answering the questions mostly asked by the examiner during speaking module of IELTS.
Thank you very much.
sania1982
Yes, you’re right. They do ask such personal information questions in the first part of the IELTS speaking exam. Thanks for pointing that out, Sania. My best to you.
Rebecca
I love your classes. You explain so easily and so calm that we understand everything you said.
pascoa
Thank you kindly, Pascoa. One small correction, if you don’t mind: so easily and so calmly.
My best wishes to you.
Rebecca
good lesson thanks for you rebecca….
frishta
that really very useful, thank you Rebeca
salma73
Hi mam,
If I want to mention time,date and year together, how can I tell it?
Thank you.
backer
Good question. In this case, we would need to use more than one preposition, according to the information we are giving. For example,
I was born at 5:15 a.m.on June 15, 1990.
My best wishes, backer.
Rebecca
Thanks so much
Mnnosh

Rebecca
hi
there’s an expression I’d like you share it with you guys, to show where you born and rise at the same time:
I was born and breed in Blida.
is that Ok dear Rebecca.
raheem
Thanks for thinking of that, Raheem. The expression is “born and bred”.
For example, if you say, “She was born and bred in France.”, it means she was born there and grew up there and she is French in terms of cultural characteristics.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Raheem. All the best to you.
Rebecca

thanks alot you are great
shaimaa
Great!!!
claudiotcjr
MAM, good lesson! I have a question and I have always been confused in preposition which you have used ‘on Sept 25’ but I was told that , when we talking about months and years we use the preposition ‘in’ e.g I was born in September 25,1995…PLZ tell me am I wrong or what else?
shayra
Sorry, the correct preposition for one day or one date is “on”.
So we have to say,”I was born on Sept 25, 1995.”
However, if you are only giving the month and year, then you can say,
“I was born in September 1995.”
Perhaps that’s what you meant.
All the best to you, Shayra.
Thanks for your very kind words. My best to you too, RMJB.
Rebecca
Hello Rebecca. Thank you very much for lesson. I have a question, how can i say my birthday, if i want to say date and year, i mean with wich preposition? Thank you.
nuash
You can say,
I was born on January 25, 1995.
We say this because the month comes first and we have to use the correct preposition before we mention months, which is “on”.
All the best to you, Nuash.
Rebecca
Thanks rebecca for your lesson that’s so interestting

Hope you will help me as well as othe peopl who having problem is use of them by posting a video on use of could and shoul in simple present.

Hello Rebecca. I am revising the verb tenses right now, and I really enjoy studying with your video lectures. I have a question:
Is the verb “was born” past tense of the verb “to be born” or passive voice of the verb “bore”?
If the task is to determine the verb tense in the sentence “I was born (time expression).”, what would be the correct answer? I have already read several explanations about this problem but none of them refers precisely which rule to follow. Thanks.
nikoenglishlessons
Which are correct?
a) Where were he born?
b) Where was he born?
c) Where were they born?
d) Where was they born?
Thanks a lot!

hi Rebecca it’s beautiful lesson i wanna know what difference in accent ”burn _ born ” can you help me
thanks a lot
It’s true that some people may not distinguish clearly between these two words.
You can pronounce “born” like I have in the video and also like the name Jason Bourne in the Bourne series of movies (Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, etc.)
The word “burn” is pronounced more like bern or turn or learn. The vowel u in the word burn takes on more of a short e sound, as in the words above.
My best to you, Caesar.
Thanks a lot.
why the preposition on be used ON your birthday.
The word “on” is used in the phrase “on your birthday” because we generally use “on” when we refer to one day or one date. Examples are:
on Monday
on January 25
on New Year’s Day
Therefore, we also say:
on my /your / his / her birthday
Hope this helps, Abdul. All the best to you.

I was born at 5:15 a.m.on June 15, 1990.

Thanks for thinking of that, Raheem. The expression is “born and bred”.
For example, if you say, “She was born and bred in France.”, it means she was born there and grew up there and she is French in terms of cultural characteristics.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Raheem. All the best to you.

Great learning on your part! Congratulations to you, Deliasik.
This is great lesson. You all of are great teacher.
Thanks Rebecca for one more good lesson..:)
so tell me Where were you born?
thanks alot you are great
Great!!!
MAM, good lesson! I have a question and I have always been confused in preposition which you have used ‘on Sept 25’ but I was told that , when we talking about months and years we use the preposition ‘in’ e.g I was born in September 25,1995…PLZ tell me am I wrong or what else?
Sorry, the correct preposition for one day or one date is “on”.
So we have to say,”I was born on Sept 25, 1995.”
However, if you are only giving the month and year, then you can say,
“I was born in September 1995.”
Perhaps that’s what you meant.
All the best to you, Shayra.
Please watch my other video on “at, on and in” prepositions for a full explanation.
Here’s the link:

Thanking for the exemplary way of teaching
Thanks for your very kind words. My best to you too, RMJB.
Hello Rebecca. Thank you very much for lesson. I have a question, how can i say my birthday, if i want to say date and year, i mean with wich preposition? Thank you.
You can say,
I was born on January 25, 1995.
We say this because the month comes first and we have to use the correct preposition before we mention months, which is “on”.
All the best to you, Nuash.
Thanks rebecca for your lesson that’s so interestting
It is very an easy lesson.
Nice lesson mam
Good lesson Rebeca…..Thank you…
Thanks a lot :D
thanks can u explain about the word “sucks”
Usually, when people say “It sucks.”, they mean that something is very bad.
It’s slang.
Good luck with your English, Sara.
also do lessons on subjunctive mood.with special reference to “to be”
Great teaching! Thank you.
You teach this lesson beautifully.
Thank you kindly. My best wishes to you.

Hope you will get this message in good health and spirit. Ms Rebecca would you teach us use of could and should in the present simple. These two words really confuse us a lot. I have watched some videos on use of these words but not got to use them in my conversation or writing. Hope you will help me as well as othe peopl who having problem is use of them by posting a video on use of could and shoul in simple present. I have seen all of your videos they are wonderful, no words to comment on. Looking forward that’s it.

Hello Rebecca. I am revising the verb tenses right now, and I really enjoy studying with your video lectures. I have a question:
Is the verb “was born” past tense of the verb “to be born” or passive voice of the verb “bore”?
If the task is to determine the verb tense in the sentence “I was born (time expression).”, what would be the correct answer? I have already read several explanations about this problem but none of them refers precisely which rule to follow. Thanks.
Which are correct?
a) Where were he born?
b) Where was he born?
c) Where were they born?
d) Where was they born?
Thanks a lot!
b and c are correct
thank you you help me more
Thanks a lot

Hi Rebecca! Your lessons were so good! I think they will such great lessons if they were provided substitles. By that way, learners can improve theirs English easily, by sight and hearing. Their are some in your lessons but not all. Hope you don’t mind with my request. All the best to you.
We’ve added subtitles to most of the newest lessons on the site. We will try to add subtitles to older lessons in time.
Excuse me, Rebecca! There is a mistake in my writing! “Hearing” instead of “earring” .
I was reborn when I signed up to EngVid. People you are great.
