You are so funny and charming that although I am fairly advanced in my studies and I know most of the answers, I watch your videos because of you! With you, learning is fun! 😍😍

French and Italians probably say "in Australia" because it is "en" or "in" in their languages when talking about a country.

Hi, Laura & Bez. I was wondering, did you ever plan to do a collaboration with other content creators? 4 of my favourites are (not in order) : 1. Learn English with Gill · engVid, 2. English with Lucy. I don't know if it'd a good collaboration with them (because you're very energetic, but they're very calm and speak slowly). Number 3 is Marina Mogiko from linguamarina. She's Russian, but has been living in the US for long time. Maybe you could do something like accents battles or something with her. 🙂

thanks dear teacher😍😍😍

Amazing 🤩

I have a question… I have often heard people and movies from the UK referring to their boyfriend? husband? as their “ partner.” We do not use this term in the USA. Is a “ partner” one’s husband or boyfriend? Those are the terms that we use. Here in the U.S., a partner is someone that you share ownership with in a business, or a dance mate.

Good question! Partner can be used for businesses etc. However a lot of people in the UK use it as a gender neutral term for the person you are in a relationship with but (usually) not married to. For example, I feel too old to say ‘boyfriend’, it feels weird! So I choose partner because he’s not my husband but boyfriend feels like we’re 15!

@@smashingenglish Thank you for clearing this up for me! Haha…YOU are not old! You are very beautiful.❤️ from Grandma

You're wonderful .

Golden rule: after phrasal verbs always infinitive with ing. I was taught with this one.

You could understand the phrasal verb "to pass out" by explaining that it is "passing out of something", most generally, "passing out of consciousness"

There is actually solid logic in why the phrasal verbs are separable/inseparable but to understand that you probably need to already have a certain level of English.

I do recall people using to bring up as a way to introduce a new topic for instance. He brought up his problem with his noisy neighbors again.

Is that offer with Lingoda still there , please 😍😁🤔🤔

Teacher first I have to say you are gorgeous, looks a lot a famous actress but with light brown/yellowish eyes! Now let's to the questions! 1 What's about the song that say: "look at the stars..(probably you know the rest of the song!)"? 2 Can we use look ahead to incentives, for example; Don't give up, hey come on "look ahead" you are brilliant?

Was wondering if you have ever encountered someone that speaks with both an American accent and a British accent? Like a hybrid. Would love you to answer this.

Hey! A lot of people, actually! Some of my students lived in Britain for a while but learned a lot of their English from ‘Friends’, for example. Hybrids happen all the time! ✨

👏👏👏👏

A useful lesson. Thanks! You pronounce students like “shtudents”. Am I wrong?

Sorry but some of your explanations are grammatically incorrect! "To go to" isn't a phrasal verb! It's just the verb "to go" (literally meaning "to go") followed by the preposition "to". A preposition is followed by a noun (or a noun group): "I go to China./ I go to my auntie's." On the other hand, a phrasal verb is the collocation of a verb (which in most cases loses its initial meaning) and of a particle. Although particles are identical to prepositions ("over", "out", "in", "up",...), they don't follow the same grammatical rules. Their role isn't to introduce a noun (or noun group), but to modify the meaning of the verb: for instance, when you add "out" to the verb "to pass", you change its meaning entirely. When you say "to get over", you're simply using the verb "to get" followed by the preposition "over". That's why "over" is "inseparable" as the preposition has to precede the noun (or noun group): "It took me some time to get over our break-up". Conversely, "to drop off" is a phrasal verb, so "off" isn't a preposition. As a result, you can't say "You drop off me" because it would imply turning a particle into a preposition, which is a grammatical no go. By the way, here's the rule you didn't manage to explain: the particle of a phrasal verb is separable, whereas a preposition isn't "separable" for it has to precede the noun (or noun group or pronoun). Sometimes, phrasal verbs can be followed by a preposition, for instance: "to break in on a conversation". "In" is a particle and "on" is the preposition introducing the noun group "a conversation".
