Are you making these 5 grammar mistakes in English? Take the test in our video and see how you do. I've been teaching English for 15 years and these are some of the most common English grammar mistakes I hear.
So If you don't know what a compound adjective is, when to use SO and SUCH when to use COME and GO, when to use WHEN and WHENEVER amongst other things then stay tuned.
This is part one of 2 grammar videos (10 common mistakes in total).

I'd been looking for the rule for some time but I didn't find any until now.

By the way, regarding the vertical garden: I have heard, I think it is in China that they are making the same but using the structure (pillars) from the bridges, to clear the air in the city.

    Greetings from Serbia. I got four out of five hehe. This and that were not so tricky... "This" changes to "that" when turning sentences from direct into indirect speech because the time reference changes, so this is kind of silmiliar... The first sentence is basic grammar as well. (I am a fourty-year old man, or I am fourty years old...) Thank you for the amazing content. I found your channel by chance a couple of days ago. What a jewel! Thank you Sir.

    It's always a pleasure to learn english with your videos. I found a violation of the rule #3 of this lesson in a book written by a guy whose name I forgot. He wrote : " To be, or not to be, that is the question " . This sentence is referring to the present ,so we must use the pronoun "this" instead of "that". 😄

    Hi Gideon. Great video, as always. I must say I'm quite discombobulated by your explanation about the difference between "come" and "go", as I've always thought it lay in the position of the speaker/writer rather than in the movement towards the listener/reader. For example, if I say "Could you come over?", it means to where I am, not to where the listener is.

  • @LetThemTalkTV

    Thanks for your comment but "could you come over?" is asking the listener to move to the direction of the speaker". "Could I come over" I asking for permission to move to the direction of the listener. I hope the discombobulation is somewhat reduced

    I have watched so many videos which seemed determined to make me waste my time, being titled something like "advanced english : mistakes you are definitely making without knowing" and yet featuring only elementary problems. It was incredibly annoying, and so common that, after having wasted time with enough of those videos, I was wondering if perhaps the problem was with me. Once you reach a certain level, there isn't much left. It seemed that trying to improve my english with videos was pointless. I still tried this one because I remembered liking other videos from your channel when I first came across it looking for alternatives to "really", "probably", and others words too commonly used. I am glad I did watch it ! It reminded me that I do still have things to learn. And, along with your other videos, it helped to take me down a peg : after watching so many "advanced" english videos without learning anything new I was feeling far too smug with myself ^_^' It's nice to finally find things I did wrong and can improve upon ! :) I also like the fact that your videos are entertaining, yet not overly distracting with over-the-top entertainment (unlike some others which I won't name, because this is a matter of personal preference, and not of objective quality).
