A collection of videos to help teachers of English as a second language. Although, non-native English speakers will get something from these videos, They are not really for those learning English, but will they help those who are teaching it.
With more than 25 years experience of teaching and training teachers, I have decided to put some of that knowledge in videos to help you get the best of your class and give you some ideas of how to teach the different forms of English, including conditionals, reported speech and even subject reflective pronouns!

I didn't see anybody make a video like that how did you get the idea to make this video? 🤔🤔
Very fond of the analysis, I am. Yet another amazing video!
I couldn't agree more, it's bit rough and ready and I recommend that the king HIRE you Gary. If he does, you'll be quids in old chap ! I hope you get a phone call from the palace. Wishing you all the best. I must love and leave you 🙏 Take care for now.
Surprised you only have 7.13k subscribers with quality content like this. Great little video with some humour at the end :D
Thank you for your comment. Sadly, I have neglected this channel to focus on my other channel @garisullivan However, I have promised myself to put more effort into this channel, so i will make more videos that, hopefully, you will enjoy. I'd be grateful if you would share this video with family, friends and people you hate so I can boost my view numbers.
Thanks guv !
your content makes me ineffably happy
Thank you so much. I am happy to bring some level of happiness
Seriously I see so many mistakes Even English teachers in German schools make ridiculous mistakes nowadays. As if they didn't even care about English....
You have exposed them Garry 😮 You the man !😉👍 Most of Americans can't speak English for a toffee and we know it, don't we? Greetings from Casablanca.
Dialectal differences exist. Not sure if any applied here tho. We call everything a shovel where I'm from 😅
Where I'm from a long handle is a shovel and a short handle is either a spade or a trowel. A flat shovel is just a flat shovel.
Diamonds were a reeeeeally poor example for this 😅 It's compresses coal with a marketing team. You can make it in a lab.
I said “run away” 😅
Diamonds are overpriced, as DeBeers artificially inflated the prices by making them artificially “valuable” by making them scarce when they are not, truly. Their value is in utility, in small chips and shards for cutting and grinding, and in these instances, they are quite cheap!
This is due to the very complex phonetics of the Portuguese language...we have 14 different vowel sounds, for example. But there's a very difficult one for Portuguese speakers...the short a sound in apple, app, cap, bat...if you notice, most Portuguese natives will pronounce a short e sound instead like epple...and I've had sooooo many arguments about this with my family hahah they just don't hear it
To be fair, diamonds are overpriced though.
i said ignore
you're so autistic and i love you
this is so entertaining for no discernable reason
🎉❤❤❤❤
Ahh,helpful and entertaining
When you want to call a spade a spade and this guy shows up 😹
I never laugh at comments. Well done
Cool video sir!
Good one, unc.
What about avoid? That's what I said, but I guess it's a different context.
Omg thank you
Thank you for the effective lesson! I hope the word effective is suitable here.
so true to die for
You forgot one. "Doo-doo".
Not so much forget. I just had to be selective.
😂 I guess that aircraft cockpit was complex, but uncomplicated? Here's a relevant definition: "Pedantic": Said of an academic distinction without a real difference. Often meant to create an appearance of sophistication and superiority. True: "don't be fooled". In actual practice, they are synonyms and using one for the other is fine. Just look up antonyms of complex and see what you get. How's this for sophistry: calling something complex and complicated is repetitive and redundant.
Thank you for your comment. They are two different words and have two different meanings. It's how English works.
@@PastTenseofBanana You're a very good sport for responding, but I remain unconvinced. Just reasserting something does not make it so. Synonyms are different words having the same meaning. In maths, "complex number" does have a specific technical meaning not expressed by "complicated number", but I know of no other context in which the two are not interchangeable. Since I'm going a bit out on a limb, perhaps your opinion would prevail if you were to cite some counter-examples. If you convince me, I'll say so. On the other hand, I am not conceited enough to believe it's worth your trouble. Cheers.
@@rweaver6 Why can't the maths example convince you? There, very clearly, is the different use of the two words. Why are you so conviced the different meanings ONLY apply in maths? I feel I have to point it out to you that the onus of proff is on you. You are claiming the definitions I use are wrong. Where is your proof of that? If you absolutely demand evidence from me. One guy called rweaver6 pointed out that even in maths the words have different meaning. Isn't that good enough evidence for you?
And what does among mean?
Among = Within a gathering or a selection of something
I'm follow you from Oman
Thank you for following. I am proud and delighted that I have a follower in Oman. You have made my day.
*Nowadays, it would be: 'dislike' or 'unlike'* *Before, it was: 'let it be' , 'discontinue' or 'disregard'*
thank you
thank you
Don't hit the roof gaffer! Keep your hair on !
Just saying it as it is
I concur.
Great video. Nice jokes. I learned a lot 🤭
Glad you enjoyed! I tried to make my videos a bit different from other channels.
BBC English Language expert "Fast and quick are both adjectives and both mean 'moving or happening at speed'. You can often use either and the meaning is the same. This car is very fast. This car is very quick."
Always question BBC language experts!
I don't know about in the US or Australia, but in the UK, the Oxford English dictionary states Fast and Quick adjectives can be interchanged. Yes you can say a car is very quick, in British English. Like many "rules" in English, it's a matter of opinion or style and usage.
A car can travel quickly and fast, but they mean different things. You can say a sandwich is filling and tasty, but they mean different things.
i did not expect this😅
I have so many more examples. Stay tuned!
Great! 👍
Thanks! 😃
xD The car accident frightened me xD This footage is hilarious xD love it :D
I am glad you enjoyed the video. This is a very old one, but I think it shows where I am trying to go with the channel.
What about when you ‘beep’ at someone?
The past is "beeped". I say this rule doesn't work for all double e verbs. Watch the full video on my channel for more details.
What about See?
The past is "saw". I say this rule doesn't work for all double e verbs. Watch the full video on my channel for more details.
Bread, mmmm bread
Something many of us enjoy
Greet = gret
Exactly what I thought
Actually, it's "greeted"
@@PastTenseofBanana Thanks! It was a joke, my friend.
@@transhumean We had no way of knowing until you told us. Thanks for watching and commenting, though.
So in other words, the past tense of yeet is yet
I understand "yeet" is American slang meaning "to throw without caring where it lands". I would not be surprised if the past tense of "yeet" really is "yet"
Cheers Gov!
My pleasure
it's bred
It is, indeed.
Short yet very informative. keep doing these videos please .
Thanks for your comment. I intend to make videos more regularly for this channel. Stay tuned.
i think followed: opposite of following someone is being followed yourself
Oh! A very interesting answer.
I am 26 and I said Lead and Follow both. 😊
I guess you're "old at heart" :)
