This lesson is the ONLY lesson of its kind! I will do more than JUST teach you English vocabulary. You MERELY need five minutes and will BARELY have to do any work to understand how to use these new words.
Thanks, James ;) Besides, I’m wondering is there any difference between odd/weird/strange/bizarre?
ronniepl
yeah this is JAMES and this is engvid and right here is mr E these all mean that we are going to have fun study …. damn i wrote rap song lol……. James prize my effort
smbsmbsmb
Good lesson, two yesrs ago I could not barely understand you, it is just to say you are a good teacher, the only good teacher ?, of course not your colleages are also great. Thanks a lot
machacao
Hey machacao, hope things are doing great! In your sentence you can’t use “barely” with a negative modal verb, so you have to say: Two years ago I could barely understand you!
Best regards, see ya!

10 out of 10! I am merely a genius, aren’t I?))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hey JAMES, I guess (merely, barely) not common words in the US, I always watching movies and TV serial with the sub titles but I haven’t heard these words before never!! they made me kinda confused.
Respectfully,

Hey Taha, I couldn’t disagree more! I can assure you that that’s pretty used in American speech, you will now notice that!

I loved your way to explain it! Thanks
stephanie07
its great lesson but I wanna know about usages of (also,too,either,neither). non native English speakers get puzzle while using these words.
rajatrique
Also
USE
“Also” is used in positive sentences to add an agreeing thought.
Examples:
Jane speaks French. Sam also speaks French.
I love chocolate. I also love pizza.
Frank can come with us. Nancy can also come with us.
PLACEMENT
“Also” comes after “to be.”
Examples:
I am also Canadian.
I was also there.
With verbs other than “to be,” “also” comes before single verb forms.
Examples:
I also sing.
He also helped us.
In verb tenses with many parts, “also” comes after the first part and before the second.
Examples:
I have also been to Hong Kong.
I am also studying economics.
Similarly, since modal verbs are usually followed by a second verb, “also” comes after modal verbs.
Examples:
I can also speak French.
I should also be there.
Too
USE
“Too” is used in positive sentences to add an agreeing thought. It has the same meaning as “also,” but its placement within the sentence is different.
Examples:
Jane speaks French. Sam speaks French too.
I love chocolate. I love pizza too.
Frank can come with us. Nancy can come with us too.
PLACEMENT
“Too” usually comes at the end of a clause.
Examples:
I am Canadian too.
I can speak French too.
I am studying economics too.
If he wants to go too, he should meet us at 8:00.
IMPORTANT
Although “too” is usually placed at the end of a clause, it can sometimes be used with commas after the subject of the sentence. This is usually only done in formal speech.
Examples:
Mr. Jones wanted the contract. Ms. Jackson, too, thought it was necessary.
Donna is working on a solution to the problem. I, too, am trying to find a way to resolve the conflict.
Either
USE
“Either” is used in negative sentences to add an agreeing thought.
Examples:
Jane doesn’t speak French. Sam doesn’t speak French either.
I don’t love chocolate. I don’t love pizza either.
Frank cannot come with us. Nancy cannot come with us either.
PLACEMENT
“Either” usually comes at the end of a clause.
Examples:
I cannot speak French either.
I am not studying economics either.
I don’t want to eat either.
I didn’t like the movie either.

useful lesson
johnbrowdy
My brother is not very tall. He is _________ tall enough to go on the adult roller-coaster ride at Disneyland.
In this question of the quiz I put “only”… afterwards I realized the right answer was “barely”. Alright, that makes sense though I think “only” also fits in there. It would totally change the meaning of the sentence.
So, what do you think?
petrus
thank you james !
netelly21
thanks James, it was an useful topic.
just a question:
can we use ‘Only’ instead of ‘Just’ at question number 5 too?? (interchangeable in this form?)
Dado
9 out of 10…ONLY and JUST one mistake! Thank you for the lesson, James!

Calm down! It’s just a joke. :P
engVid Moderator
ok ok ..great, I though it programmed bot that reports predetermined words, regardless double and hidden meaning !!! thanks Mod for declaring…hehe
kingbode
Great lesson, James, as usual.
One question,though: When we use barely the verb
is in the affirmative or negative?
I’m asking you this because I saw in a movie,
a comedy actually, a scene in which the guy was
learning how to dance. Dancing was his worst
nightmare.
And a man said: ” You can do it. Go! Think of
Edward Swatzneger(I don’t know how to spell this name)he can BARELY walk!
It was funny, but my doubt is, can I say:
” He can’t barely walk”?
I don’t know if I’ve made myself clear but that’s my doubt.
Please, help me James. ( it’s not a command).
Sonia1234
James, could you please explain to me which one is the correct sentence?
It’s about about the adverb: Hardly.
Can I say: “I can hardly stand up” or “I can’t hardly stand up.”
Sonia1234
Got 9 out of 10. It’s really confusing.

You mentioned that you are in Toronto.
Have you ever heard about Celpip which is Canadian English Test. Could you make some videos about that if you know about it…
Sampower
cool lesson from a cool teacher.
Abhi
One of your examples of the use of ‘barely’ is incorrect. You wrote, “I barely have enough $ for food.” You wanted ‘barely’ to act as an adverb for ‘enough’. Instead, in this context, ‘barely’ is an adverb for the word ‘have’, as in “I barely have food.” What your example SHOULD read is, “I have barely enough $ for food.” In THIS context, it means, “I have enough $, but barely.”
By the way, I am neither an English student, nor an English teacher. I am MERELY an advocate for proper grammar.

Hey, James!
I heard sometimes that word “just” means “simply” or translated like that (into Ukrainian or Russian)
e.g “you just press the button, and the machine will do all the work” – is that correct?
ivaaaaaan
You got 7 correct out of 10.

Hi!Sir James i have a question! Which one will be most correct?
A)As she said,the computer was programmed by Mona.
b)As like she said the computer was programmed by Mona.
c)Just like she had said the computer was programmed by Mona. correct ans given to be is b but i want to check its grammar and reply me soon as you can

Hi James
That was a very good and useful lesson teaching us how to use these verbs. Interesting it was to hear the justice explanation about using the word ‘just’ there.
Great study with you James and little student Mr. E .. :-)…
I liked a question about a russian person/ =) Thank you for that =)
I got only 6/10 . I barely have enough punctation. Would you give us more examples?
Thanks Mr. James, I got only 70%, is it correct?
Hi, “Mr James”. I have heard lots of using “I am just ….” in movies and from native speakers. What does it means in here.
Good tips!
Thank you for giving me opportunity to watch your video. This is awesome to affect a lot that learning English by myself.
Your class is better than other classes which one I’v been.
I really wanna be a student of you even though that won’t be.
Plz keep this classes as long as possible.
Thank you teacher James.
I paid reverence to you.
Very useful lesson James, thank you!
This is just an amazing lesson.. Thanks a lot.
I had a doubt with these words, as they are very similar each other..
HEY WHERE SHOULD I GO TO REQUEST A LESSON???
Thx a lot
Your class is so useful and interesting!!
I love it *^_______________^*

These four vocabularies are also similar, though you gave us nice explanations. In most context, I think they can use interchangeablely

MOD-BOT has detected a death threat. This comment has been forwarded to the local authorities, who will be in touch with you shortly.
is this real!!!, it was just linguistic expression , which means to much love !!, not real kill!!
Calm down! It’s just a joke. :P
ok ok ..great, I though it programmed bot that reports predetermined words, regardless double and hidden meaning !!! thanks Mod for declaring…hehe
Great lesson, James, as usual.
One question,though: When we use barely the verb
is in the affirmative or negative?
I’m asking you this because I saw in a movie,
a comedy actually, a scene in which the guy was
learning how to dance. Dancing was his worst
nightmare.
And a man said: ” You can do it. Go! Think of
Edward Swatzneger(I don’t know how to spell this name)he can BARELY walk!
It was funny, but my doubt is, can I say:
” He can’t barely walk”?
I don’t know if I’ve made myself clear but that’s my doubt.
Please, help me James. ( it’s not a command).
James, could you please explain to me which one is the correct sentence?
It’s about about the adverb: Hardly.
Can I say: “I can hardly stand up” or “I can’t hardly stand up.”
Got 9 out of 10. It’s really confusing.
thank you so much you are best titches
cool!! i got 9 of 10.
Thank you James and Mr.E
Great Lecture like always you make! So helpful. Thank you.
You mentioned that you are in Toronto.
Have you ever heard about Celpip which is Canadian English Test. Could you make some videos about that if you know about it…
cool lesson from a cool teacher.
One of your examples of the use of ‘barely’ is incorrect. You wrote, “I barely have enough $ for food.” You wanted ‘barely’ to act as an adverb for ‘enough’. Instead, in this context, ‘barely’ is an adverb for the word ‘have’, as in “I barely have food.” What your example SHOULD read is, “I have barely enough $ for food.” In THIS context, it means, “I have enough $, but barely.”
By the way, I am neither an English student, nor an English teacher. I am MERELY an advocate for proper grammar.
Thanks James for this incredible lesson.
This was an excelent lesson. thanks teacher.
Thank you very much sir you are very valuable for us
I got 8/10, great result!
My last one was incorrect as I am little bit confused b/w merely and only
I got 100, ten out of ten. Thank mate for your teaching and your originality!
Hey guys could anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement ‘she has her name after her father’
Hey, James!
I heard sometimes that word “just” means “simply” or translated like that (into Ukrainian or Russian)
e.g “you just press the button, and the machine will do all the work” – is that correct?
You got 7 correct out of 10.
thank you.
Thanks!
Hi!Sir James i have a question! Which one will be most correct?
A)As she said,the computer was programmed by Mona.
b)As like she said the computer was programmed by Mona.
c)Just like she had said the computer was programmed by Mona. correct ans given to be is b but i want to check its grammar and reply me soon as you can
Wow this test is pretty good! 10 out of 10.
Thanks for that lesson.
Thank you. Still confusing though. I think I need more examples to understand the use of them.
great lesson, 10/10 ty very much!
Every lesson gives me more desire to learn.
