Dear Wes, you are just as cool as cucumber, as sweet as mangoes and as energetic as carrot, I would say. What a brilliant English lesson It was! Actually I was looking for this since the elections were around the corner in my country, India and booooommm you dropped it so my bouquet of thanks to you ❤❤:) Here is my example entailing the words taught in this video- I don't wanna filibuster but just want to tell you that you don't need any confirmation from think tanks of English language for proving how great of a teacher you are. I reckon you are one of the English teachers who is loved and respected unanimously without any polarization reason being that you are unlike other pedagogues who just garner views rather than providing good content with heart ❤and If I were do a poll on top 5 English teachers across the globe then you would definitely top it for sure....

Thank you, Wes! So interesting. The winner-take-all thing is crazy. I wonder if it exists in other political systems. Two small questions - constituents - are the people that actually voted FOR that official, or just everyone with the right to vote? For example, are the constituents of the governor of California - all Californians? or those who actually supported him? impeachment - you said Clinton and Trump were never convicted, but you also said it's not a legal process?.. what are the consequences then? Thanks so much for your time!
@InteractiveEng
Ай бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Constituents would refer to all people of voting age, which in your example would mean all Californians of voting age. However, I think you could use it loosely to refer to all people no matter the age. And when talking about impeachment, it is a legislative process and not a legal one. What I mean by that is if someone is convicted they would not go to jail. Because it's a legislative process, if someone is convicted then they would be removed from their job and unable to run again for office. 👍
