cristianemarques

you are a good teacher.

Furesr

I wonder answering number 9.!! Is there any mistake?

Can

Hi Can,

No, the answer ‘knockout’ is correct. It’s a noun.

Adam

Thank you. I made three mistakes. It’s great for me. But I can’t catch 6 item. Explaine please!!!

Алексей Окунев

Hi Алексей Окунев

When we say someone is a knockout, we say he/she is very good looking. It’s an adjective. So, the girl is so good looking that I want to date her.

Does that help?

Adam

But in the description of this lesson you used the “knockout” as an adjective to change the word lesson. Which I understand as “super awesome lesson”.
And I left the comment meaning that you are a knockout (super awesome) teacher.

anton7rich

My favorite teacher. Thanks!

Danilo Besteti

Hey Adam,
thanks for the lesson, good idea indeed!
I got it better when you use real examples cause I’m a visual person!
Cheers!

Ricca

Hello Adam,
thanks for the lesson, I really appreciated that.
But in the Quiz number 9 the answer knock out is correct but when it shows the correct answers it shows the wrong answer knockout .

shad

Hi Shad,
\
This one was a bit tricky. Knockout is correct. Here we are asking about the situation (it), so are looking for a noun. IT is called A knockout.

Does that help?

Adam

This quiz knocked me out ;)

mohibms

Adam, what does mean this sentence: ” Knocking off your hat or mooning the judges will not impress anybody.”?

adyce

Hi Adyce,

That’s a pretty funny sentence. Not exactly sure what the writer meant, I’d need to have more context. But if I had to guess, I’d say it means clowning around won’t help you. knocking off your hat, might mean hitting it off your head. Mooning is slang for pulling down your pants and showing your bum. Sounds like it might be at some contest.

Funny anyway. :)

Adam

Pls anyone help me how i can make this sentence passive —I think, people will forget it very soon—

lilit87

i think it will be forgot by people very soon.

Suraj rai

Thank you

Lilit

Hi Lilit,

Hope it’s not too late, but:

I think it will be forgotten very soon. (don’t need to mention the people unless they are specific people.)

Hope that helps

Adam

I think, it will be forgotten very soon.

Mary

ur face knock me out

saasa

lol. The only problem is that your sentence can be good or bad. :)

Adam

Mr. Adam pls help me how i can make these two sentences passive
1.I think, people will forget it very soon
2. They said, that had finished their work in time

lilit87

1. I think, it will be forgotten very soon.
2. They said, that their work had been finished in time.

imho:)

sergey

1- I think, it will be forgotten by people very soon.
2-They said, that work had been finished in time by them.

farhan

2. They said, that work was finished in time.

Ruslan

Thank you

Lilit

Actually, Sergey got it right except that you don’t need the commas.

1. I think it will be forgotten very soon.

2. They said (that) their work had been finished in time.

Adam

mr Adam i cant understand the exact meaning of knockoff and also knock off can you gave me more examples i,ll very thank full to you

anglina117

Hi Anglina,

I have a Picasso painting in my house. I don’t have millions of dollars, so it must be a knockoff (fake). Some painter knocked off Picasso’s ideas and made paintings to sell cheap.

Although, knock off can also mean finish, like I knocked off work early today.

Does that help?

Adam

Hi,
I absolutely love the meaning for “Knock up”

thananwut

thanks Adam
got 8 out of 10,but still need for more practice.

monika82

mairei

Great,GOD b you

Sam

got only 7 corrct answer. still confuse : )

mairei

how many phrase verb, I should learn for understand the fist sentences in English.
There a mechanism for easily memorize ??
Thanks Adams is interesting you class

Mario

I don’t learn them in the way you try. For example, I heard once an expression “spill the beans”, and I asked a native English speaker for explanation. He tried his best, but I couldn’t understand what that means. And then, suddenly I got it. How? I was watching a movie — there was a scene I understood well, and someone said the phrase. I knew exactly what he was talking about. I think there is no better way to learn stuff like this — you have to listen to native speakers and pay attention to what they do and how they act.

morfik

Hi Mario,

There are books dedicated to phrasal verbs and idioms that you can study, but I agree with Morfik– learn by seeing it used in context. When you watch a movie or read something with an expression you don’t know, write it down then try to guess it’s meaning in the context of the conversation. If you can’t guess it then, google it.

good luck :)

Adam

Thank you so much Mr Adam . I really like lessons on phrasal verbs .

libyano

Hello,

Thank you for the lesson and for quiz but it seems to me that I didnt get it very well. I made 2 mistakes. Could you, please explain why at the below question the correct form is Knock off? As you say in the video Knoff off = to steal or to knoff off the table. 7. Bill Gates may never be knocked ______ the list of the top ten richest people in the world.
• in
• over
• down
• off
Thank you again :)

Luiza

I have the same question!! I don’t understand why know off is the answer… POlease Adam explain us!!

caro

Hi Luiza,

If I knock the glass off the table, I basically remove it from the table, make it fall, right? If Bill gates gets knocked off the list, he is removed, he falls from the top ten to a lower number.

Does that explain it?

Adam

But, for the same reason, the answer “Knocked down” wouldn’t be correct? In your own words “If Bill Gates gets knocked down the list, he is removed, he falls from the top ten to a lower number.”

Marcio07

Hi Mr.Adam,
This was a fantastic lesson and the way you explained, absolutely very nice.
Please arrange a lesson on “Elder vs Older” which is very confusing for me.
I shall be very thankful.
Thank You
best Regard,
Riaz Noor Afridi

Riaz Noor

Hi Riaz,

It might take some time to get that lesson up, but for now, remember that older can only be used as an adjective and a comparative (old + er). Elder can be used as a noun or an adjective. You should respect your elders (that is, people older than you). Elders here is a plural noun. to compare age, older is more common that elder.

Does that help?

Adam

Dear Adam,

What a helpfull and usefell lesson. Thank you a lot for it. KEEP UP with you job.

GOOD LUCK.

PAULO - BRAZIL

Good example!

meliha

i got 3 mistakes and then i watched again but i don’t know why for question 7 right answer is “knock off”.

daogiauvang

Hi Daogiauvang

If I knock the glass off the table, I basically remove it from the table, make it fall, right? If Bill gates gets knocked off the list, he is removed, he falls from the top ten to a lower number.

Does that explain it?

Adam

this lesson is pretty useful. Thank you Adam!

Hi Natobyte,

It’s slang. It means to get a girl pregnant.

Adam

Hi Adam,

I read your comment and saw the lesson again. Now I got it the meaning of “knocked up”.

Thank you very much!

natobyte

I didn’t understand why the correct answer is “Bill Gates may never be knocked _off_ the list …”

Cláudio

Hi Claudio,

If I knock the glass off the table, I basically remove it from the table, make it fall, right? If Bill Gates gets knocked off the list, he is removed, he falls from the top ten to a lower number.

Adam

Thank you very much Dear Adam

“To knock someone up is a slang way of saying to get someone in trouble with her parents” — it could mean this, especially when you are young. xD

Do you see it?

Adam

thanks

sahar

Hi Sahar,

This one was a bit tricky. Knockout is correct. Here we are asking about the situation (it), so are looking for a noun. IT is called A knockout.

Does that help?

Adam

very very good lesson aadam

gopi

Hi teacher! I did not understand question nine of the quiz. It says: 9. When one boxer punches another and the second one falls down and can’t fight anymore, we call it a ________. According to the quiz, the right answer is “knockout” together, but in the video you said that “knock out” separate, means “put someone unconscious”. So i don’t get it.

patriciaramos22

Hi Patricia

This one was a bit tricky. Knockout is correct. Here we are asking about the situation (it), so are looking for a noun. IT is called A knockout.

Does that help?

Adam

thank you very much

kingmadi

Dear Adam,
I loved this lesson and I need to memorize all those phrasal verbs. I have a sugestion for your next lesson. How about going to a soccer game? I would like to know some words used there.
By the way, do you like soccer game or football?
Bye bye.

PAULO - BRAZIL

Could you please tell me about using It, Its, Look or looks

ko26

Hi Ko,

Your question is a little too general I’m afraid. Can you tell me more specifically what you want to know?

Adam

this is the first time i study with adam and i found him a great teacher, adam you are a KNOCKOUT teacher!thanks a lot.

kenzaham

I have some questions:

1. Do we use a preposition “to” when someone wants us to do something? For example:
“join us” — “join to us”
“give dad” — “give to dad”

2. Quantities + people. When we talk about people and we want to express how many entities there are, do we use “of”?

million people — million of people

3. How to pronounce following numbers:

1/3, 2/3, 3/5, etc.

4. How pronounce 0,764 and other similar numbers. Do we only use “point” after zero, or is there other way to say it?

5. When we are talking about time, what does exactly mean “by 10”?

morfik

Hi Morfik,

1. Usually when we have both a direct and indirect object, we’ll need the to if it comes between them. (Give it to dad- it-direct ob., dad-ind. obj) However, if the order is reversed, then don’t need it. (Give dad the key vs. Give the key to dad)

2. A million people (one million people). Millions of people. (don’t forget the s.)

3. 1/3- one third, or a third,
2/3- two thirds,
3/5- three fifths (the ths is a bit hard to pronounce, but not as hard as 5/6 five sixths) ;)

4. How pronounce 0,764 and other similar numbers. Do we only use “point” after zero, or is there other way to say it? Nope- zero point seven six four. It’s called a decimal but we always say point. 1.23- one point two three

5. By means on or before. It might be a little confusing to compare by/until, but that might make a good lesson. Anyway, 10:10 is too late. Unless of course I completely misunderstood the question.

Adam

Thanks, you and other EngVid teachers have answered to all my questions that I had written in my notebook. xD Now, I have to review them from time to time, but most of the answers I learned almost instantly. Thanks for your time. :) Of course, I will be asking another questions, but now I need some time.

morfik

Outstanding !!! Thanks Adam

Luis

love it

Ana

could you plz, give a lesson about: money. what’s the meaning of, I owe you and you owe me?
what’s the real meaning of balance?

Ana

Hi Ana,

I will definitely try. For now:

I owe you suggests that you did something for me or gave me something, and now I need to return the effort. You owe me is the same but in reverse.

As for balance, you’ll need to give me a more specific situation. otherwise it just means equal.

Hope that helps :)

Adam

Hi Mr. Adam I know you will read my comment as other student here, a suggestion for all crew of engVid.com, could you make a special video at 500th video lessons as a celebration, maybe attended by all English teacher here, I think it will be fun and can’t wait for that… thanks ^_^

ichakushina

Hi Ichakushina,

gacha22

Hi, Tanks for you’re lessons!!!
Today I were Tinking about why people sometimes say: I gonna….(read a book) and sometimes they say gotta? can u explein me that I have asked to my teacher, but she doesn’t did not how to explein me that….

gatito22

“Gonna” is short for “going to”, and “gotta” is short for “got to” — so “I gotta read a book” means “I have got to read a book”, or “I must read a book”. Hope that helps!

samirpro

Hi Adam. The other day, I came across a knockout girl and I was eager to talk to her. Unfortunately, as soon as I started talking to her, I found myself on the ground knocked down by a kind of gorilla, her so-called boyfriend (she would be better off with me as a boyfriend). The monster was wearing knockoff Hugo Boss suit and Church shoes and a Rolex watch. I wanted to knock him out but, you see, I’m so tender that I didn’t. I had just enough time to tell him next time I would meet the girl I’d knock her up, I saw thousands of stars being knocked out I don’t know why. Life isn’t smart!!

Adam I have one doubt but not about this topic. what’s the difference between words AMONG and BETWEEN? thanks

fernando302

Hi Fernando. I guess the diference is: when you use between, it means that you are talking about two things/places/people. For example: I must to choose between these shirts (I must to choose one of these two shirts). Otherwise, when you use among, you’re talking about three or more things. For instance, “My socks were among hers”. I hope you get it.

Abdul Qayum

Hi, guys!
I couldnt find appropriate place to put my thoughts on.
Could you give me a short explanation why its so easy – to understand Adams’ lessons. And at other hand, i cant understand even 10% of what native english speakers talk about. I mean Discovery channel, news on TV, etc.
Are these lessons (hopefully not) are used to improve students, who are really good with english daily talking already? Thanks.

Hello sir. I have a question for you. Please answer me if you have time.
I really don’t know exactly this phrasal verb ” knock out ” which means ” put out of order”. And I really don’t understand the example below ” Bill Gates may never be knocked off the list of the top ten richest people in the world. Thanks for reading !

Hello Mr Adam. I’m a new student in English department, and I wanted to ask you. What co does mean when it lies in the beginning of the words and where it came from . I have perfect lecturers in my university, just like you . But I don’t have the ability to them about every thing. May I have your answer, please.

Armin Barker

i am too confused about the question number 9 . you said that knockout means out of order and knock out means to hit and beat someone. could you please clarify that to me

Mossab Mahmoud

I am boastful to say I got 10/10 in first attempt. However, I watched this video 3 times before taking the quiz.
Thank you Sir Adam! :)

Dani Mereles

Thank you for your lesson.

werawan

Terrible. 60%. Good teacher , bad student:)

elenagraham

thanks a lot mu best teacher..But there is another meaning of “knock up” an example.. The players have a couple of minutes to knock up before the match start…. Is it mean to “warm up”?

samir yehia

I looked it up, and apparently you’re right — for sports played with racquets, like tennis, it means to hit the ball around for practice before a match. However, as someone who knows very little about sports, if I heard that I would assume the players had to very quickly get some people pregnant!

mika00079

Thanks a lot, this is very useful

Alan Cabezas

I would never have thought that the “knock up” means to make someone pregnant.

III.Empereur

Me too lol.

cybertiguy

Most interesting I complement my knowledge with online dictionary and one meaning that is important (I know you can’t review the thousands of different meaning) for know over is “to make a strong often positive impression” The band performance knocked me over completely.

cybertiguy

I am super duper fan of your teaching Adam.
I really find it interesting and enjoy learning. I would definitely like to meet you in future. I am

akshayk

It is pleasure for me to watch your lessons. Thank you!

Elena S.

Hello,Adam! Thank you for your excellent lesson! But I do not understand one of my mistakes. It is a sentence 7 about Bill Gates. Why is “knock off” used there?
As I understand “knock off” means “steal”. So, how could Bill Gates steal the list of the top ten richest people in the world. I think he is not a thief.

Nikitosik97

Also, before Adam defined it as to steal he said that, for instance, you can knock off something from the table. Типа, смахнул крошки со стола. You should listen very carefully to his explanations.

Egghead

Thanks for your video and test!!

tina101

Hi Adam. Thanks for your efforts about teaching, first of all.
Can we say about question 7,
knock down means fall off table etc.
knock off means drop to the bottom of the list…
so knock down uses about physical, tangible and knock off intangible things

aslanmakina

And you have said that
knockout means very very beautiful
but in Question 9, knockout have used for noun of knock out
Am I wrong

aslanmakina

thanks for your’s good job

dag47

As always, very useful. Thanks, Adam!! You´re the best!

Alyne007

romankvit

Hi Adam,

I don’t understand the sentence with Bill Gates in the quiz.
How he can be “knock off” from the list?
It means for me that he was steal from the list.
Could you please help me with this?

fruzsi

Adam, you knock it out of the park! :)

nutondev

appreciate alot your lesson and i learn even though i got 7 out off 10 thanks

namv

8/10! I meet a girl which was a knock at 11 years before. A knockoff present was given when I was a poor guy. We married after one years later, then I changed a really diamond ring for her.

Jerry Gu

Good theacher! Word, meaning and examples!

AlexSkydiveK

hello.
Bill Gates may never be knocked ______ the list of the top ten richest people in the world.
You said “knock off” means “steal” and it almost like “knock over”. SO, why the answer of this question is “knock off”?

m.m.s.i

in the Quiz question NO.9 what is the correct answer 3 or 4 and why?

Hoda97

Hi,Adam.
It’s too late to meet your vedio,thanks about teaching.
