Thanks for posting such an amazing lesson 😊

I'm a little mad that so many KZreadrs undermine the value of teachers. Any teacher worth their salt will tell a student whether a rule is outdated or not. Heck! Even textbooks sometimes mention that this and that rule is not always used by native speakers.

Thank you mate. Nobody ever told me this. Native speakers obviously don‘t take the grammar as seriously as learners do. And that causes a lot of misunderstanding and confusion

Aly's like a fine wine - becoming better and better. I sincerely enjoy your every lesson, even if I already know pieces of grammar and vocabulary you're talking about. It's just the best! Makes my grammar, vocabulary and life full 🙂❤

Thank you for this interesting lesson

When this showed up in my feed, I was expecting the usual "say this, not that" clickbait-type video or just saying "listen to how they speak in Hollywood movies, anything goes!" But all four of the "rules" you have mentioned are rather advanced and some of my best students still have misconceptions about them. Props to you!

You: I'm having a friend. Your friend: Thanks for having me! Love that little moment of Matt Lukas and Stephen Fry in QI: - Knock-nock. - Who's there? - Two. - Two who? - To whom!

Another amazing explanation, Aly! I absolutely love your videos every time!!! I had trouble understanding some lyrics when I was learning English at the very beginning... In some Beyonce’s songs she sings “He don't...” 🤷‍♀️

Thank you so much sir for this amazing lesson!

I’m loving this video!💪🏽👏👏👏

Thank you very much Aly, I really like grammar in general and you, indirectly, made it even more fascinating. Another often not applied rule that came to my mind is the double negative like in the title of this song (which I love): "(There) ain't no stoppin' us now" As always, see you in the next class 🤩

Thanks for the video! 😃

Always great teaching, always fun, always perfect!!!

Another enjoyable English lesson! It's so easy to learn English with you. A bunch of thanks, Aly!

Papa, I love and adore you - in the Present Simple because that is a permanent condition 🙂. You have a lot of students from all over the world and a much broader perspective than I do. So I believe it's fair to assume that there are teachers/textbooks that teach outdated/non-existent grammar rules. But I am afraid that's a bit of overgeneralisation. In Poland, where I come from, the textbooks are written by the English and are either 2-5 years old or are regularly renewed. I have never ever heard the rule "Never end a sentence with a preposition" from a teacher (I started learning English more than 40 years ago). And those who regarded "If I was..." incorrect have already retired. So I hope it's not that bad with the English skills of the teachers in Poland 🙂

Aly , the more I watch your vídeos, the more I admire the sort of teacher you are! What a pleasure to have sby. like you to learn English! Thanks a lot!

Very helpful video. I think another grammar rule I was taught is to never start a sentence with the word but or and. I think in formal writing this is correct but I hear a lot of native English speakers use but or and at the beginning of the sentence when they speak. It sounds natural.Thanks for sharing !

"Off my alarm is going" is what Yoda says every morning

3:54 It's interesting for me to hear that textbooks say that it's “were” in the first person form as well. Our high school teacher taught us to say, “If I was…”. But then don't I know if he intentionally broke the rule because he knew better?

Thanks for this video! I know a lot of textbooks where the authors even cross out such sentences as bad, e.g. "I am going to go", and so one could continue with many other examples. One more example occurred to me. After "if" there is never future tense which is not true because not every sentence with if is conditional. For example: I don't know if he will give me the money.

Gracias, nene.

Can you suggest a good vocabulary book📕.

I guess I can say "I'm having lots of problems with that", for example?

For the other rles that don't really matter I would say "there's" or "there was" with a plural noun and the so called difference between "must" and "have to" which doesnt seem to be a real rule nowadays

Could it be that 'off' is no preposition in 'going off', but an adverb? At least according to the examples in wiktionary. In any case, having a preposition at the end of a sentence sounds very familiar for German people (like me :)

The problema are grammar rules/,,usage which Is different in British and American English, e.g. tenses with just or recently

What about coloured future?

Well , another 'grammar rule' that I would like to add is the 'It's I' instead of 'It's me', me and my friend just have argued over this rubbish and I can't even believe the 'It's I' does exist after googling it.

Or ' or "s after names ending in -s in the possessive case

As for prepositions.....which books say it?

something on green-washing vocab please

Solid lesson. Reminded me of a few things like "For whom...?" However, isn't "going off" a phrasal verb? Therefore, isn't the word "off" a particle then?

@beckfield1

Exactly what I was about to say. I'm skeptical of the claim that the rule against ending sentences with a preposition "never existed," but the rule doesn't "fail completely" in the case of a phrasal verb -- the rule doesn't even apply.

hey-ho, my like is the first one. I hope the video is of great help for me

Great lesson! :) I have a question. In the example with "I'm loving this pizza", can I say "Oh, I love this pizza"? Why I shouldn't? Why it should be "I'm loving..." or "I'm love..."? Pozdro z Polski! :)

Sorry for the misunderstanding! You absolutely CAN say “I LOVE this pizza”. My point was that in this context you can say BOTH 🤘😁

Teacher you absoluty true ,but all textbooks and all teacher wants grammar I dont know why this is as this🤦🏻‍♀️for speaking grammar is not veryy major,l think

I'm going to look very stupid but I didn't understand the last example. What does it mean with "I'm having my friends"? Is it "I'm having my friend's" in the sense that I'm having whatever my friend is eating?

Another rule I was taught is the magic "E". We all know that the sound of the vowels in English is different to their names so, the magic "E" makes this vowels sound same as their names. Example: hat - hate, sit - site, pin - pine, etc. What would you say about that?

In modern Romance languages, like French, prepositions just don't sound right at the end of sentences like in English, and phrasal verbs don't really exist, but English is English, not Latin

💙💙💙

Thank you 😍. I always had that feeling that the 2nd condition phrase “ If I was… “ exists🙃. BTW you said “dark example” - what is the proper meaning of it?

And I also think that some grammar rules are not clear to non native speakers because some categories are extremeley vague to them For example no stative verbs After would for past habits? I wouldn't know how to classify some verbs in English

Great video, thank you. 😘 I was listening a rap song. Snoop said: "...he DON'T drive a Cadillac." Can we use "do" or "don't" or "does/doesn't" are the only correct words (next to he/she/it). Thank you.

"I'm having my friend for dinner" Hehehe!

👏👏👍

Hey, I am familiar with all of these. One of the teachers in my uni said I cannot let sentences end in preposition. Fortunately, I ignored this “rule” back then, because I liked how it sounds with the preposition at the end :D And I've been just recently corrected by my teacher when I said 'If I was...' xD Now, about stative verbs in continuous tenses. I've actually watched one of ur previous videos about this, and I am using it properly now. Really helps to express my feelings better ^-^

Yeah I don’t understand when people get super opinionated about what’s “proper” English. It seems classist and ridiculous

Use a sentence with propositions at the end. Sounds so sophisticated, British and cool. Either get it or don't - what are your waiting for?

Dear Aly, if you were my teacher at school, I would have learned English in a couple of years.😊

Yes, people say "If I was..." when they should be saying "If I were...," but it isn't because they're just being less formal -- it's because they never learned the rule.

May I ask a question , plz ? Which one of these sentences is correct ? I failed in remembering to thank you . I failed to remember to thank you. I failed in remembering thanking you. " I failed to remember thanking you."

They also teach us at schools that we cannot start a sentence with a conjunction, don't use "they" when talking about a person who's gender is unknown or wasn't mentioned before.

Actually, there are textbooks on advanced grammar, which cover these topics. For example, «Advanced grammar in use» with the green cover says about using stative verbs in continuous form in one if its very first units. So the title of the video seems a bit click bait to me, sorry.

One of my American English teachers in college once rudely told us to not say "my English is not good" because "the English language is not yours". My English wasn't good enough to argue with him at the time, if that happened these days, I would ridicule the living $h|t out of him. Seriously, a lot of English teachers are not just terrible at teaching, they are plainly terrible human beings.

Some English learners say 'I haven't a dog' or 'Have you a dog?' without 'got'. I always considered it wrong. And then I saw it in a text book. I googled that and found out that it's possible to say so, but this structure is kind of outdated. Is that true? What would you say, Aly?

The funny thing about "whom" is that even some native speakers get it wrong (when they use it as a subject pronoun).

I'd learned some wrong grammar rules that I never konw before watching the movie.

Suppose I could say: "What are we going to have for dinner? I'm having some friends round tonight they'll keep us company". Would that be grammatically ok?

The -ing moment with Papa saying that having doesn't apply to possessive meaning of having. Me: yeah but I'm having my bf over tomorrow Papa brings the example Me ...
