Thanks

anilbds1984

Hi mam and sir,
u both have given me a lot of information about the english.
I want to thank you very much.
But I want more videos where can I get?

faiyyajshaikh

Hi Kuku

A good book for improving grammar is English Grammar in Use by Ramond Murphy. There are many books for improving writing. Depends on what kind of writing you need to do. For the TOEFL or IELTS essays, you can use some of the exam guide books such as Delta or Barron’s which are quite helpful. Have a look at the Writing section of http://www.goodluckielts.com for sample essays, keywords and other tips. All the best!

Rebecca

I loved this suggestions :D

carteiraind

Hi faiyyajshaikh

Glad you found the videos helpful. We are working on more lessons. Please let us know if you have any special areas of concern and we will try and address those topics. Good luck!

Rebecca

Hi anilbds1984

Glad to hear the lessons helped you. The grammar used in regular conversations in America is pretty much the same as anywhere else. However, the pronunciation can vary and words are often joined together in casual conversation so “Would you” can sound like “Wouldja” and so on.

We’ll try and put together a lesson on this for you. Thanks for watching.

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca your lesson helped me too get a 100 on my language test Thank You

joneque

u r a nice teacher Rebecca

Honda

gulaqa yaqubi

Hi Robecca , could I use this sentences ( I am going to go to thailand )and ( I am going to com ) please explain me thank you very much

Chansovannaroth

Very lucidly presented

y.b.lall

Thanks. My best to you.

Rebecca

Nice lesson,Rebecca!

Sometimes we just ignore the difference between “going to” and “will” because they mean kinda the same, but now I know the difference. (planned and unplanned)

Talking about Future Tenses…
I just wanna ask: When do we use SHALL and SHOULD?

Nilo_M.

Thanks, Nilo.

First of all, shall is used more in questions these days, not sentences, For example,

Shall we dance?
Shall we go to a movie?

It is a very polite way of making a suggestion or offer or invitation.

Should is used more to imply that it is a good idea that something is done. For example,

We should really stop smoking.
You should wear a jacket. It’s freezing outside!

Hope this helps!

Rebecca

Thank you Rebecca 4 giving me a good english lessons.
I hope to see all english lessons in this site and good luck you all

Thank you Rebecca

A new student values you as the greatest teacher.

lisa

Thanks, Lisa. So glad I could help you. I wish you the very best with your English.

Rebecca

Hi Lisa. We’ll be adding some lessons on various tenses in the near future. Keep checking the grammar section, and thanks for the kind comments.

engVid

Thanks to everyone for your comments. It really gives all of us here at engVid a lot of motivation to continue recording new lessons and to know that we’re helping you.

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
Your teaching is wonderful.
I am sitll confused about when I should use future tense like “will be +gerund”. what differences between “will be +gerund” and will + verb”, when I use future tense?

Thanks,
Sarah (from Vancouver)

Sarah

The difference is this:

In the Future Simple, will + verb, you are describing an action that will happen at a particular time in the future. For example,

It will rain tomorrow.

Susan will watch TV tonight.

In the Future Progressive, will + gerund, the action you are describing, will be in progress at a particular time in the future. For example,

The children will be sleeping when I get home.

The action of sleeping will begin before I arrive home, will be in progress when I arrive and will probably continue after I arrive.

Hope this helps!

Rebecca

Rebecca

Oh, I am here for first day and I made mistake:
First I made quiz based on this lesson, and after that I saw the lesson from film.
Now, I can make the quiz without mistake buth it is late.
Thank you Rebecca.

George_n

Hi Rebecca,your explanation on the use of the future tense is clear and helps a lot.

mira

thanks Robecca your lessons really help me a lot… thanks again :)

hossein

hello rebecca,
I really like your way of teaching. you are so straightforward and to the point. there is no scope for any confusion when one listens to your lecture. good job!

taiyaba

I have a question relating to the future tense lesson.
You said if it is planned, you use ‘going to’.
ex: I am going to visit my mom on sunday.

But I was wondering if we could say the same planned thing by using WILL which is normally used for unplanned activities.
ex: I will be visiting my mom on sunday.

I would be very thankful if you could clear my doubt.

taiyaba

You could certainly use “will” and it will be understood, but usually in conversation we use “going to” for planned activities.

Hope this helps. My best to you.

Rebecca

also I would appreciate it if you could give a lesson on when to use the following sets of words:1) also,as well,even,too.

2) end,finish,over,done,complete.
ex:class is finished or class is over.
ex:you finish your homework or you complete your homework.

3)many, few,some,much,more,less.

taiyaba

I know im asking a lot of questions but after watching your video I liked your way of teaching so much that I wanted to get all my doubts (which i’ve been living with for years) cleared . could you also tell me the difference between several and many.
ex: I have many friends or I have several friends.
ex: many people were crossing the road or several people were crossing the road?

taiyaba

You never need to apologize for wanting to know more! That’s a very positive act.

There is no difference between “many” and “several.”.

They are synonyms, used to refer to countable nouns.

All the best to you.

Rebecca

Thank you!!! This lesson was vary useful for me. Your lessons help me to understand how to use English language in real conversation.

Riva

I truly enjoy listening to your lessons. Can you explain this sentence to me?
I could see the waves lapped against the rocks. Someone told me that I shouldn’t use lapped. Thanks.

ann1970

Thanks for adding me as friend in engvid.com Thaaaaaanks…….

dannah

So will future is uncertain when used in conversations and becomes certain as soon as it is written on paper?

If will is more formal, can’t I just use will all the time, when writing and conversing?

Thank you.

PS: In the fifth question of this quiz is a typo. It reads regis(t)ered, without the “t” in brackets.

TheAnyKey

I have fixed the typo in the quiz. Thanks for letting us know about that.

engVid

thank you so much….
take care.

Nidhi

I’m going to visit John and
I’m visinting John on Sunday
are two different things.
At the intermediate level it is important to make the distiction between using the present progressive and goint to to express futurity.

You are misleading students when u say you can say
I am going to visit John and
I am visiting john on Sunday
mean the same!

Please read Leeach Geoffery’s Meaning and English Verbs

George Varughese

Hi,
very good explanation! Thanks.
I think about the Present Simple tense. It is also used to talk about the future events. For example: “The game starts on 6 p.m.” I would love to hear more about using correctly the future forms.

Good luck!

Hi,
Thank you very much. Your video about the future tense is great and helpful. It gave me a clear idea about the future tense. But I am still confused abou using the future simple perfect and the future perfect continuous. Do you mind if you send me more vidoes about verb tenses on my email: zokaalwan@hotmail.com. thank

Hi vijay. Some of the quizzes do give you the reason that the answer is correct, but not all. I will ask the teachers to write these explanations for more answers.

engVid

Dear admin,
this is my request to you to improve the voice quality of the videos, i think you peoples are using hanging micks for sound recording, instead of that you should use shirt collar mike or may be something else like that, so that the quality will get improved. currently there is a little-bit echo in almost every videos.

i hope you will consider my request
and this for madam Rebecca – VDO was nice madam..!

Hi, teacher. I have some questions to ask, do you mind to explain it to me? Thanks.

1)The Bank has made an official announcement that it _____ lay off 500 employees next month. Everyone is really tense. Why the answer is ‘will’ since the Bank has made the decision?

2)_____tomorrow? Why the answer is ‘Are you going to work’ and not ‘Will you work’.

I’m confusing about these questions and hope to get teacher’s explanation. Kindly thanks.

reply me rebeeca

Uzma

Hi, Rebecca, I have a question about tenses future, If it was the sentence ” I’m visiting London on Sunday” will be for future, but if was ” I’m visiting London” will be just present continuous. Did I use” will be” Correctly ?
ex: These buildings will be the biggest
or these buildings are going to be the biggest
or these buildings are being the biggest.
thank you very much.

hudhayfah27

Hi, hudhayfah27
I think
1. These buildings will be the biggest. – It means “I think they will be the biggest” (only your personal opinion). Am I right?
2. These buildings are going to be the biggest. Again, you make a supposition that they will be the biggest (considering certain conditions). This is more sure.
3.These buildings are being the biggest. That is not correct. To be is a stative verb (in this situation) and continuous can’t be applied here. Take a look at https://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-stative-verbs/
and http://engtek.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/stative-state-verbs/ and study.

The question about “I’m visiting London (on Sunday)” is interesting. I want to know correct explanation, too.

Good luck!

My korean teacher always taught me that “be going to” is used when the future is close and “will” is used when the future is far. So I knew like that until now. However, after listening your lecture, I’m able to clear the conception of both. Thanks Rebecca ^_^

sometimes both options seem to be correct, i did the quiz and scored 10 out of 10, but to be honest sometimes it wasn’t totally clear which of the options were wrong or correct. Is “I’ll” just preferred in the sentence at the end of my comment or really the only correct answer grammatical wise, because both sound correct (I’ll / I’m going to ) and you could argue that it’s planned that he is going to speak to his family about the job offer.

“I just got news of the offer, but I’m really not sure what to do. I think _____ talk to my family and then decide whether to take this job.”

Hi Rebecca! Thanks for your teaching.since I have found this site i have really improved my English grammar and my speaking.
But I have real problems with speaking and reading comprehension. My teacher can’t help me at school .another reason is that i am in europ and i need to speak english.

Rasoul

Hi Rebecca,it was a very helpful lesson for me. Thank you very much. These days I’m studying grammar a lot. At an English website, I learnt that there was a form of “be going to have done”, “be going to have been doing” and “be going to be doing”… Are these forms more usual? Can we use them as much as “will be doing/will have done/will have been doing?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks very much.

acej0312

Hi Rebecca, First and foremost,thanks for your excellent English lessons. I have one question. I can’t understand at the end of the video when you say ” I hope __________ to make that clear to you and good lock with your English”. Which are the words missing?

josecatelli

Although I put it will for getting full score , I still think the right answer should have been ‘ it is going to lay off some staff. ” Because a bank seldom makes decision lack of plan.

stupor67

Nice to meet you Rebecca. I have a question. On quiz number 3, why “He is going to” can’t be an answer? I don’t understand. The suggested full sentence is “He’ll” probably go home before coming to the party.

thiruselvi

Hi Rebecca,
When should we use the present continuous with future meaning and when should we use the going to?

I understand both are planned, but is there a specific case when we need to use the “present continuous with future meaning” and another case when we need to use the “going to” future? Thank you!

During the quiz I had a question. Would you mind answering it, please? There was something like “the parents send their children IN a French School. Why not to say “TO a French school”? See you! Bye-bye.

Thank you for your lesson. It was interesting.

Erashev

I am fully aware of the different usages of the future tense with( going to, will and the use of the present continuous). Personally, I consider this tense as one of the easiest tenses to deal with in the English language. However, I have always wondered, why do I sometimes hear or read statements that are clearly were somehow planned and yet were expressed with “will” instead of “going to”?. After watching your lesson, it totally makes sense now!.

Thank you so much.

Hi,Rebecca. I’m from Malaysia. I thought I’m quite good in English as I can speak, read and write but now just i know my grammar is so poor. It’s really hard even i have learned it before.
Please help me on the quiz of question 6.
The bank has made an official announcement (isn’t it “planned”) on next month (“present continuous”). So i choose “is going to” but why the answer is “Will”
Hope to receive your reply soon. Thanks

mastan68

Correcting my comment above…

There are two controversies here. Number 1 – “Since we’re not done”… Hasn’t the speaker made a plan to call when he or she gets home?

Number 6 – The bank has made an official announcement… Is it not a plan to fire the employees? In my opinion number 1 and 6 should be “going to”. Please help me Rebecca

giolima

Thank you so much
I’ve done this competition and I’ve got 8

Dear Rebecca, I am a new member of the Engvid community. I love the way you teach in fact, I would never stop watching your videos.
Could you please explain to me why I should use the form TO + VERB+ING sometimes? For example, “I have devoted my life to helping people”. Did you make a video of this lesson? Thank you

Marty91

I’m going to study English on engvid in every morning,maybe I’ll leave a comment after every lesson.

StevenJ

Please do!

Isn’t “an official announcement” considered as planning? in Q.6 ? shouldn’t we use going to instead of will?

Thank you, Rebecca!

JJulian

Hi Rebecca. Thanks a lot for helping us in your language.
I made 3 mistakes in your exercises and think they are all of the same kind. They were nr2,9,10.
In all these cases there is a question. The person who asks doesn’t know if the person who answers has planned/decided or not something.
My question is: each time we ask such questions, that is we don’t know if the person has decided/planned or not something, do we have always to use the form “going to”?
Thank you in advance for your explication.
