Hi there,
Welldone.
Speaking of idioms,I dont know d meaning of this one exactly:”fair’s fair”?!
Lend me a helping hand plz!
Ive got it by myself.
Up me!
thank you. very helpful lesson :)
If English words were written as they are pronounced, I would know to speak it like a real native english speaker. I hate when I look at the dictionary and see one way of pronunciation for a specific word whilst in other dictionary it is pronounced differently. So immediately I get confused, and am not able to use those words in everyday conversation.
sommetimes I feel very much the same,but I think You have to relax,because even here teacher’s pronunciation differ and we do the same speaking our mothertongues,actualy,we just don’t pay so much attention to this.
Thank you very much! I like your lessons.
oops,sorry not teacher’s ,but teachers’
hi,alex very good phrasal verbs like put,is most important for me to learn. from pakistan.
hi james from pakistan
I really like lessons about phrasal verbs. Especially when those verbs are explain so good. Thank you very much Alex.
very good lesson Alex!!!
This was an excellent lesson… I needed some help with phrasal verbs. Thank you very much!
You scored 6 out of 6
Really good lesson
Very good lesson.In English, I have two soft points: The idioms and phrasal verbs. I found them complicated. So I realy need to study them.
just two questions native speakers use generaly simple verbs or phrasal verbs ? In a normal discussion is it commun or marginal to use idioms ? Thanks for your answers Kind regards !
accomodate is right spelled Alex. I did it well on the quiz, keep teaching lovely english, have a good freaking day.
I think it should be “accommodate” – with double “m”. Any way Alex, thank you for that lesson. Please tell us more about phrasals :)))
Merry Christmas to everyone, especially to all teachers !!!
Very interesting and well done lesson…but doing the quiz I found…”when you’re done with the game…” couldn’t it be “when you’ve done with…?…could you explain me it please? :) Thanks…
Type “Let it snow” on google, and see what happens. . .
thank you very munch .I understood the lesson and scored one hundred percent.good luck…!
I think accommodate is the correct word.
I like to talk English always. I’m very happy now .
Dear Sir, I Thakn you so much.
Alex, I have a question. Can’t “put up” mean something like “not be able to bear” or something like that? For instance:
“I can’t put up with him. He is so selfish!”
thank u it amazing explanation
Thank you
Thank you for your lessons!
Hey Alex, you’re excellent teacher. In Spanish when we put down a pet, we use the verb sacrifice. Is it the same in English? BTW I got 6/6. ThxQ.
hi thanks
thanks Alex
so great lesson.
Dear Mr. Alex,
Thank you for this important lesson. I appreciate your effort and I have a small question,
you have chosen two examples through the lesson:
the first:”My boss always puts me down”
the second:”She put off her interview because of an emergency”
Is the first example in present simple and the second in past simple(because of the ‘s’ in word ‘put’ in both examples)?
Regards
thank for this lesson.It was very useful
i love this lesson
thanks Alex
Hi Alex, I enjoyed with this class keep up, thanx
Sarah which city are you from?
I’m also from saudi arabia?
The city government has just erected a monument… Sounds weird :3
I’d like to see more lessons about phrasal verbs, I like them so much. I’ve already checked all the James’s ones and yours. Waiting for more!
Thanks Alex, I like your classes!
Amazing lesson thanks teacher:) I wanna learn moreeeeeeee
Alex, If you come to my city I can put you up at my home. So that I´ll practice my english with you.
Hi! Alex.
very useful and great lesson.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thanks again.
Hi ,Alex. I’m a Thai people.I like this website.Because it help me improve my English.My English isn’t very good.Please explain for me about Put up or to accomodate. I don’t understand it.Thank you very much for your help.Please suggest me if I write wrong.
Thanks Alex for a good and useful lession. Alex, is it possible for you to make a lession about how to pronounce i,g. I am a little unsure of how to pronounce them .I hope u got the point.Merry christmas and happy new year.
I think it’s accommodate but that’s not the point of the lesson.
Could one replace ‘put down’ with ‘put away’? i.e.: We had to put away our dog (…)
Great lesson, keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Excellent lesson.. very useful
Hi teacher
U used pronoun (he) for animal Is that right in English? also how can we differenciate between seprable phrasal verb & nonseprable? correct me if I wrong . thank U very much.
Hi,Allex.Your lesson about phrasal verbs “Put”was very fruitful.Would you add us more? Thanks a bundle.
Nice haircut Alex, it suits you very much.By the way does (suit)just come with clothes or we can use it with hair style also?
Thank for this useful lesson Alex.
Of course you can use the word SUIT to describe that something fits something. Other words you can use in this situation are FIT, MATCH and so forth.
Thank you very much. ;)
Hi Alex, thank you again for this interessent lessons, I learn many things with you. Grazie mille
Thank you Alex for giving us a hand to study phrasal verbs!
Hi Alex,
Thank you for the lesson.is that correct to use put away instead of put back?
I think you can use the phrasal “put away” instead of “put back” since they have the same meaning.
ex:
please put away your clothes.
Thanks Alex. I have done 100%
Thank you very much for this lesson. Great it is useful lesson. In quiz i have been done 80%.
So great lesson.
Great teacher.
Many thanks

Alex! thank you very much.
Great lesson! Thank you so much!!!
Hi Alex, Your lessons are very good and easy to understand.Good job
Thanks for your lesson, it was nice but, I Have a question. In your example when you write “she put off her interview because …” that put off is not with “S” because is third person???
Not, the sentence «she put off her interview» is correct if you think that it is SIMPLE PAST. Remember: the verb «put» is irregular and it has the same form in Present, Past and Participle form.
phrasal are a real nightmare for me, thanks alex, you explained them perfectly well
thanks Alex that lesson is really helpful and interesting
good work, thx :)
Hello Alex. Your lesson is always very good and easily understandable. I always watch your and is feel my English is improving day by day. Thanks for that. I have a problem with the words Although,hence,either, however, and neither. so I will be happy if you teach or explain the meaning and use of these words
Thanks for your lessons. Could you please make a video lesson on separatable and unseparatable verbs?
Thanks, sir i really appreciate

i have question
in seconde example of put down
why you use (( he )) with animal ?
Thanks a lot for you kind help.
Thank you Alex, you help me to improve my level.
For Sultan, i think that it is an error, because animal or thing take it and for human he or she. Thank you for this attention.
Thanks Alex.. It was really nice class.
I have a doubt.
in the quiz, last question.
Our cat, Mittens, was 15 years old when we ___________________. He couldn’t walk anymore.
why Put him down?? why not “Put it down”. could you please clarify.. Thanks
Very good this site. Many interesting lessons about English Grammar.
Thank you teacher. Your lesson is very clear.
Thanx a whole lot Teacher, you have done just perfect
is it correct to say….
(“you want me to put you down?))))
thank you :)
I an an Algerian student and I leart a lot of interesting things thanks to these websisite… thank you
Thank you so much for your lesson, Alex!
thanks Alex for this lesson. I really enjoyed it. Just a other meaning for “put up” : “Put up with someone” means to tolerate or be more patient with him, doesn’t it ?
Hi, Alex you super. Wonderful presentation. Thank you
Hi ,Alex,
you are the best .
I wish you a happy new year .
Bisou.
Tks a lot for everything !!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot, Alex… I have a question that cannot be in the context of the lesson… in the second sentence of ”put down” you used the pronoun ”he” to refer a dog in the parte ”because he was sick ”.. is it incorrect or this can be done?
Respect teacher Alex. May I suggest you one lesson to do for us? I’d like you to do astronomical terms about our Solar sistem. You know, all 8 planets, it used to be 9, but Pluton isn’t a planet anymore, and everything else that is connected with it. Thank you in advance.
Hi Alex..thak you for the great opportunity to practice and refresh my english. I have a question . the word HEAD. As a verb which means move towards. Or to be headed…E.g.Where are we heading? where are you two headed?For the answers I saw FOR and TO. The both words can be used? Or how should be used? Your reply is greatly appreciated..
I think Alex ignored you all x)

thanks a lot, Alex.
Our cat, Mittens, was 15 years old when we ___________________. He couldn’t walk anymore.
put him up.
put him back
put him off
put him down.
Is that correct? When talking about animals, shouldn’t we use ‘it’ istead of ‘him’ or ‘her’? That seems confused to me.
If you know the sex of the animal, you can use ‘him’ or ‘her’. Usually, if it is your pet, you will use those words. If you don’t know, you can use ‘it’.
nice lesson as usual! thank you. can you explain more phrasal verbs. im becoming addict.
Hey Alex, I really love the way you come up with ideas and technique and ensure that it helps the needy ones. Well, I am wondering if you could provide me a free link or resource where I can learn more phrasal verbs. I appreciate any help further. =)
Thanks Alex.
I had problem to use them now they almost easy. thank you.
I get a lot out of this lesson thank you.
I was wounder if you could also explain these phrasal verbs too.
put out, put away.
Hi, Alex. Could you help me. Our teacher gave us a quiz. I couldn’t find the answer to the question “Travelling by train between cities you can choose between 2 or 3 completely different prices. Why?”
it’s nice to explain this lesson

thank you for your explanation.
thanks for the lesson
very intersting thank you very much
hey alex you are brilliant. Even word brilliant isn’t enough to explain your way of teaching….
Thanks Alex.
Could we say put the milk away as like put it back?
Hai Alex , help me with this two sentence, ‘ I have put down the cat’ and ‘ I have put the cat down’. difference meaning or same meaning. Actually, I’m the beginner student, so a lot question around in my head.
You have put the cat down means you have insulted it, which is incorrect, cats can not be insulted, they are not human.
You have put down the cat means you have killed it.
I woud like to thank you for your amazing way to teach;so many many thanks again for you Alex and all the teachers.
Thank a lot.
I am very happy to find this web.I am very happy with these lesson.

In Indian subcontinent,they use this phrase in government offices. The boss can ask the assisstant to “put up” the file regarding leave record etc.
I don’t find this meaning in dictionary.

Thank Alex. Could you please give us more exercises for each lesion? We need more exercises to deeply understand it.

Hello teacher.
i have a question for you and really is not mine i found it while i was watching some vidoes on youtube and really i found a good question after i watched your lesson.the question is( chishikato15 2 weeks ago
“she put off her interview because of an emergency” => there was not need put “s” behind “put” when the subject is “she”. anyone can tell me about this problem, plz! thanks!),and really i wonder too,but maybe i have some boldness and i answered instaid you( imad salah 1 second ago
Well its really good notice.as i understood when we talk about the same person we dont need to add the S.
).so please try to give me the right amswer and told me if am wrong or not.because i answerd according what i understood.thaank you again.
The past form of put is the same as the present form, in this case he was using the past simple in the sentence. I hope you made it out.
hello everybody and than u Aalex for this wonderful leson for the last quetion i think we have to say: put it down instead put him down could you please explain me this point
thanks.
I wish you had more videos with Phrasal Verbs :)
Hello Alex,at first thanks for your English help. When I am using put down, I cannot say ” my boss puts down to me?. Thanks again.
When you are using the phrasal verb put off, and you are cancelling a meeting, you postpone and (put back?), before of it you explained that put back something is return it to its original location, in this case it wouldn’t be put ahead the meeting?, thanks Alex.
Hey Alex,
