Yes, a/an is a convention making to English easier to speak.

Actually, "less than two pounds" is correct, because it's referring to the weight, not the number of pounds per se. And related to that, amount is often used incorrectly instead of number, as in "amount of people" and "amount of cars".

According to the double negative - it is used in slavic languages. We say "I don't need no book" and it is absolutely correct ;)

I'm a native speaker, but I still love your videos, Lucy! I swear you could sell sand in the desert :P Must say that I disagree with "weighing fewer than 2 pounds", though. You're referring to the total weight, not the individual pounds. Similarly, I would say, "I waited for less than 30 minutes", rather than "I waited for fewer than 30 minutes". Otherwise it sounds like an accumulation of individual minutes, as opposed to a time period.

@durabelle

Thank you, I came to see if someone else agrees that this one was a mistake, although otherwise the explanation for fewer/less sounded right! The way I understand it you would only use fewer when measuring weight with actual pound weights, so there wouldn't be a continuous scale from zero onwards but just 0, 1, 2 etc. as possible weights. In this case the baby could easily weigh 1.99 pounds, so it needs to be less.

I'm an ESL teacher. Been teaching in China for 10 years. This is a fantastic video! With the a/an, I usually explain to my students that you'll need to use "an" if the following word starts with a vowel. It's simple for them if they have already gotten the vowels down pretty well along with the spelling of the vocabulary for the lesson. Thanks for the video. Subscribed. Cheers

Thank you Lucy for your presence in media, nothing better than taking lessons from a lovely teacher !

Number 9 is tricky because people usually remember that if the word starts with a vowel, you use "an," but it is not always the case. Also, "an honorable man" is correct, not "a honorable man."

Congratulations Lucy🎊🎉 !!! I wish Mr. and Mrs. Simkins a lifetime of happiness and prosperity ❤️❤️

4:21 I think that weight is uncountable (because there’s in principle an infinite number of possible values within any given finite range), so I believe the correct statement is ‘the baby weighed less than two pounds at birth). At least going by the standard definitions of the words countable or uncountable. (Eg, anything that takes values in the real numbers is uncountable whereas anything that takes values in the integers is countable.)

I disagree with your closing example for "less vs fewer." "He weighs less than two pounds" is correct. "He weighs fewer than two pounds" is at the very least awkward. The reason is that the meaning is that he weighs less than the "entity" of "two pounds." Would you say "his weight is fewer than two pounds?" I would think not. You would say "his weight is less than two pounds," not "his weight is fewer than two pounds."

Hello, Lucy, First off, congratulations on your wedding. I wish you and your husband the best. Well, I have some doubts regarding the use of 'less' and 'fewer'. You say that 'less' is used on singular and uncountable nouns, whereas 'fewer' is used on plural and countable nouns; I understood that. However, according to another English teaching channel, they say that there is an exception when it comes to quantities and measures, which in this case, we've got to use 'less' instead of ' fewer '. So, the correct thing would be 'less than two pounds' instead of 'fewer than two pounds'. Could you clarify this, please? Thanks and greetings from Venezuela!

Thank you, Lucy and welcome back. Best regards.

Actually, number 2 should be: 'The baby weighed less than two pounds at birth.' because the weight could very likely be a portion of a pound. You would only say fewer if a baby's weight were always rounded up to the nearest whole number. I hope that makes sense.

ANYBODY who listened to this IS going to benefit. This short tutor was such AN amazing feat. YOU and I should be making LESS mistakes from now on. Thanks to KZread or we WOULD HAVE missed this. Besides other advantages. I had BEEN IN my chair and fully engaged.

The last one is the only one, that I as a german would make. All the others seem to be rather native speakers' mistakes, that may originate from specific regions. That doesn't mean a foreign speaker who learns the language by (possibly wrong) example couldn't adopt them. The last one stands out, because it can be seen as a false translation of germen, as we use "in" when referring to a travel destination in the past, so you really have to remember, that this is different in English.

Hey there! I would love to know your opinion about my videos. I have recently started teaching on KZread! Let me know what you think!

I am new to your channel and I have just subscribed to your mailing list! I am learning the language and find it to have many details on how to write and speak in the correct manner, like my native language has (greek that is). I really enjoy your lessons and I hope you forgive my mistakes on my writing! Congratulations on your wedding! Love from Greece

Hey Elaine! I would love to know your opinion about my videos. I have recently started teaching on KZread! Let me know what you think!

I even read comments on KZread videos where people who may well be native speakers mix up "they're", "there" and "their", "it's" and "its" and the like.

Thanks for the interesting lesson, I have often heard the confusion with me/I and a/an, glad to have an expert chime in on it. Something else I've heard more and more recently that I believe is incorrect is using whenever instead of using when, for example, "I let my hair grow long whenever I started high school", is that right or wrong?

@vinamr3945

In that instance, "when" would be incorrect. Whenever is generally used with actions that repeat or have the potential of being repeated. For example, "I am uneasy whenever I'm with a group of people" or "I will be ready whenever I am tested for this subject"

Also whenever is more commonly used when (no pun intended) the time for an event is uncertain like, "I'll come over whenever I feel like it" Though in that case when is also correct.

"whenever" is wrong in that sentence. I let my hair grow long WHEN I started high school" is correct. It answers the question "When did you let your hair grow long?" It refers to a specific time = when. An example: "When did you start learning English?" Answer: "When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989." or a longer version of that answer: "I started learning English when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989."

You can only start high school once, you cannot repeat the action so it is "when" not "whenever" "Whenever" is for when the situation is repeated

Virtually all check outs in grocery stores have a sign indicating "12 items or less" when "12 items or fewer" is correct. I've seen the proper sign only once.

Lovely video. Great to see you back! (And many happy returns on the wedding!!) On the a/an it is correct to say “an hotel” rather than “a hotel”. So your Italian friend is not entirely wrong - it’s very stylish to use “an” before a word beginning with an h, especially if the h is silent!

@ecwadorlife667

Oh, please don’t give people incorrect information. “An hotel” is never correct and using “an” before an unpronounced “h” isn’t “stylish”, it is standard English.

@@POCEnglish i am giving u an opportunity show me why i should subcribe.

Don't stress about the fewer/less distinction. That was the personal preference of some prescriptivist grammarian in the 18th century, but common usage before and after didn't match the rule. I use fewer and less the "correct" way because I learned English as a foreign language, so I just learned the rule without any experience to contradict it; but there's no reason a native speaker should bend over backwards to accommodate the taste of some guy 250 years ago.

Loved it! Thanks a million Lucy!

Thank you for teach me English👍👍🇬🇭🇬🇭

I thought you might talk about exceptions to the a/an rule with pronunciation like "an hour" or "a uniform" because the 'h" is silent and the "u" is pronounced like a "y" consonant.

They’re actually not exceptions :) she said ‘an’ should be put before vowel SOUNDS not letters. So both of the examples comply with the rule and do not constitute exceptions :)

Hi Lucy, very extremely helpful video. I wish you will teach the use of 'a little'. I now understand the use of 'little' by the help of this video

The last point was interesting. Thanks for the advice, my english become better every day. I was to england and america aswell and I consume english media almost daily, but I don't remember to hear about this rule of the diffenrences between in/to before.
