Eating and drinking are things we do every single day, but the vocabulary available to talk about them is much richer than the obvious words we use on a regular basis. In this English vocabulary lesson, you will learn different ways to express eating and drinking in creative ways. How would you tell someone you wanted more than a snack but less than a meal? Do you know the difference between wolfing down, devouring, and scarfing down food? Watch the video to find out, and make sure to do the quiz afterwards to practice what you learned!
hi thank you so much james really it was so interesting to learn this word i will try more and more to learn it see you sooner james

I think there is a mistake in the last question in the quiz. It should be “spat”, not “spit”, I think.
corlioneo
The past form of ‘spit’ can be ‘spat’ or ‘spit’. We have changed the it to ‘spat’ on the quiz now though to avoid confusion. Thanks.

phamquynhanh
I think there is a tense error in seventh question (is so good – scarfed down). Am I right?
sibelka
No, there is no error here. “My mom’s cooking is so good” means that it is good in general. That means that whenever she cooks, it is good. This includes the instance when the speaker “scarfed down” his plate in one minute. We could also change the sentence to say “My mom’s cooking is so good that whenever she cooks, I scarf down my plate in one minute” or something similar.

Hello James .
I have got 90 . Question 2 can have as an answer ” bite” . I don’t want a full meal , I want something small , and small is subjective enough to indicate a hamburger for example .
James I definitely need to solve when to use Ing form or infinitive form verb after a verb of perception . You wrote on the board ” I can hear you munching over here” . Why didn’t you write ” munch” instead . Yet ” hear” is a perception verb .
I listened to previous engvid videos and it still confuses me . Can I rely on you to get finaly the right explanation ?
Thank you in advance .

I agree with Corlioneo and Sibelka about their conjugation remarks . But Errare humanum est !
