Many thanks Rebecca. Waiting for your new resources ;) Always useful for studying when there´s no internet connection!

knopfler86

Hi Knopfler.
Are you waiting for the resource?
Now, you can try to hover your cursor on “more “, under ” Rebecca ” column, which is also under the video. Then, you will see it on the Rebecca page. Bye. :)

Chloe.Lee

Many thanks Chloe Lee!!!I think yesterday night it wasn´t uploaded.
By the way, in the section “Resources”, I have already downloaded all the lessons. However, there are two (one of Alex and the other from Emma) that there´s no possibility to download. Do you know why?? I think it is useful to have them in paper so that you can carry the sheets of paper everywhere and take a look.
Thanks again Chloe and enjoy your English as I do!!;)

knopfler86

My pleasure. I understood that you went directly to the section ” resources “, and contrastably, I went to there by a tortuous path. hahaha…
Great work! You will succeed through your hard work. Good luck! Okay, bye for now.

Chloe.Lee

Chloe and Knopfler – Glad you both found the resources! By the way, I love Mark Knopfler’s music too! Especially that song, “Our Shangri-la”!
All the best to both of you.

Rebecca

Yes, you are completely righ. It is a masterpiece.
By the way, do you recommend English students to learn English through the songs??For me, it is a good way to remember vocabulary, and also to get used to the English sound. In my case, I know all the lyrics by Knopfler and Dire Straits, and he speaks really clearly in English as you do ;)

knopfler86

Yes, Knopfler86, I think learning English through music is an excellent idea because it’s enjoyable, relaxing and effective. Also, scientifically we activate both the left and right sides of our brain while listening to music with lyrics and so learning becomes much easier. However, like movies, some songs use a lot of slang, so you have to be able to differentiate between what’s right and wrong! You can use music to improve your grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening and singing ability! Have fun!

thank you Rebecca

… Honestly, It is the first time that I have just learnt the spelling of plural nouns as:
fish >> fish, deer >> deer, basis >> bases
stimulus >> stimuli, medium >> media
and, oasis >> oases….
Thus, I think I should learn them by heart, especially the exceptions of plural nouns for mastering my English spelling.
Woooff, I forgot to say a important news that I just got ” The resource of the spelling of plural nouns.
Thank you, prof. Rebecca for this interesting lesson and your resource ” cheat sheet “.
All the best! :-)

Chloe.Lee

Glad to know the lesson and resource were helpful to you. All the best!

Rebecca

Dear Rebecca.

I thought this quiz was a piece of cake for me, but I got 88. Because I didn’t know goose becomes geese. Yes, I’ve learned this now and thanks to it I’ll never forget geese. Also I’ll download the cheat sheet in order to get myself more improved with plural forms.
Thank you Rebecca.

juneriver

I like your attitude to learning and I’m sure you will go far. All the best to you.

Rebecca

I love that exceptions because it can be quite confusing sometimes.I learn a lot with your every new video Rebecca.Many thanks for this one too.I like all your VIDEOS ;-)I found one more plural while learning :)

TEJALKK

Thank you, it’s very helpful :)

dinimeiliani

thank you dear Rebecca

fatehkral

Thank you Rebecca for the great videos.

may

There are always exceptions to the rule, for example:
1) photo -> photos (not photoes)
2) roof -> roofs (not rooves)

Also, one can easily get confused by the differences between the spelling and the pronunciation (a few that comes to mind):
1) words ending in -ph (f sound) add an -s (graph -> graphs)
2) cough (f sound) -> coughs
3) cafe -> cafes
4) coffee -> coffees

Mauro

Interesting explanation, Mauro.

Danddan

Thanks Mauro

AlessandroItaly

some words like:
dwarf; hoof;scarf; wharf can have plural in either -fs or -ves
Some word like:
Chief; cliff; roof ( ending in -ief; ,-of) have plural in -S
some words ending in -ics (politics; statistics=uncountable) can have plural use: politics is a complicated business but what are your politicis

Briklend Handersson

handkerchief also has two plural forms :)

David

Great lesson Rebecca, thank you…

Danddan

Daxesh99

Hi everybody, guys who can write an essay about “express your remorse for buying a product”? actually I have no idea about it & I must do it for my English teacher, if you can, help me, please.

kian

Thanks for this very useful lesson, Rebecca.

I wish that would exist several Rebeccas like you. I am not mocking with this subject, as someone could think. You are a very didactic, focused, well-hearted and, as far as I can perceive, very experienced teacher. You and James are the first ones in this so important English teaching channel, according to the lessons history.

Fabio Cicerre

You are too kind. Thank you very much. Each teacher reaches us in a different way and with a different style. I wish you all the best.

Rebecca

Thank you Rebecca!!!!

Dear prof Rebecca,
I knew if the nouns ending in a single -Z have a plural in -zzes
( quiz=quizzes; fez=fezzes)
I did you test and I wrote WALTZZES but it was wrong. Could you tell me why? maybe before Z there a consonant? maybe it is Germany word
Thank you kindly. H

Briklend Handersson

Dear Rebecca,

It’s really very helpful for us and very easy to understand.

Hello dear Rebecca!
I confess that I get better with your teaching. and I also want to know if finance is a verb, person noun or activity noun?
and another issue> all verbs after proposition there must be in ing form but to?
My best regards

pcossa

“Finance” can be used as a verb or a noun. The person noun is financier. Thanks for your feedback and all the best!

Rebecca

Thanks a lot, I need keep practice.

sandra.e

Hi rebecca,my name is mahmoud 35,im from iran,what was made me to leave comment is that what is the different between past perfect and past perfect continuous?in other word,when could we use?
Thank you alot

Mahmouddd123

Thank you Rebecca, however I’m confuse ” studio”. It is ending with “o” vowel and why not add “es”.

Boonboon

The word “studio” ends with a vowel and then “o”. In this case it ends with an “i” and “o” , just like the word “radio”. So the plural is studios.

You add “es” if the word ends with a consonant and “o”, such as potato, which becomes potatoes. All the best!

Rebecca

Thanks!! It was a really good lesson.

Dear Teacher Rebecca,
I am Haal, female student, would like to ask you a question please. Even though it is not related to “how to spell” lesson.
My question is: Could you please explain to me the uses of “in to” and “into” words?…. How, Where and When can I use them?
I hope to get answer for my question soon.
Do you have other way to contact you personally, such as email? Please if you have, let me know because I have so many English Language questions would like to find answers to them.

Finally, I really like your way of teaching. You have great and very helpful lessons.

Have a wonderful time

Thanks
Haal

Haal

“Into” is a preposition that refers to motion and direction. For example: We walked into the room.

“In” and “to” are also prepositions that are often used alone and sometimes end up next to each other. For example: He walked in to see the bride in her wedding gown. Hope this helps. All the best.

Rebecca

it is

I used to get confuse on many plurals until this video. Now i have no longer any problems with plurals. Many Many thanks Rebecca for the video…

TEKRAJ

Thank you Rebecca for this lesson as well as for another ones!
May I ask you about certain plural words those make me confused, and paticularly I’m confused how to pronunciate (spelling is clear) following plural words:
myth-myths (is plural form pronunciation “mits?);
death-deaths;
mouth-mouths;
month-months.
So how to pronunciate these plural words in a correct way? I think not only me who perplexed of the question
Thank you for respond in advance!

Mitt Domolego

Rebecca, in your cheat sheet you present the noun “news” as the one that has not got singular form and is used only in plural as long as scissors? Is that a typo?
