Hi there Emma. I would like to know more about as if and as though. For example:
She acts as if she were a kid.
Let’s convert it into past tense
She acted as if she were a kid. (I find this easier to say)
She acted as if she had been a kid. (questionable).
thank you
Thank you so much Emma for your efforts
Dear Emma , thank you so much , you really make lessons very simple and easy to understand .
Forgot to say , i got 100 / 100

hello
emmat you perfectly masters education
Emma, I would like to know if I can use the term ” brand new ” instead of ” State of the art “, Do they mean the similar?
For instance, brand new Samsung phone = state of the art Samsung phone
Great lesson!
My major and my work are connected with IT. Glitch is similar to bug.
A bug is a device that is used to locate people and objects.
A bug is also an error in software.

Thank you,Emma!
If you ask me, this Video is state of the art. It seems to me that I’m technophile, am I ?
Thanks lots……. I wan to ask you. My english teacher during my secondary time said then that. If will use” mind”to ask for something in sentence that the reply will be negative. It is true. E.g did you mind to give me our pen. Said if you say NO as the answer it mean Yes, but if you Yes as the answer it mean No. So enlight me more about it.
Thank you so much emma mam, your lessons are very good and your way of teaching is attractive.
I like the way you teach. You seem to me very professional and easy going. In my book you are a smart and cultivated teacher. Do not worry if you are technophobe, as far as you aim your goals, I will be a faithful student of yours. I truly enjoy your lessons, I always learn something new. Regards.
Hi, Emma,
Thanks a lot for your lessons. And besides, you are very attractive !!!
I’d like to know how to use “what” or “which” in cases of connecting clauses. For example : I remember my mother, what/which (?) makes me
happy.
i got 100 marks
Hi Emma, thank you so much for this lesson and I´ll continue improving my English for sure using these key words. Have a great evening and as always it´s a privilege to take classes from you, best regards.

Very useful lesson. Thank you!!!
nice lesson
i used to get a 2600 atary console with many cardrigdes but not an Odissey console in 1980 .it is called videogames. that’s outdated . after i bought a superninterndo console in the early 1990s. they sell in city Lima Perú . in
Florida they doesnt sell it anymore . they are obsolete, outdated . maybe through amazon.com you can find it . i think it is a pawn shop . like a good will ,thrift shop .
looks like antique shop . threft shop in Florida . you use gift card , prepaid credit card for the new technology .

Hi Emma,
I’m a System Analyst and I really love Technology. I am glad, every thing that you said about Technology is what I live with every single. Now I can say, that I’m a technophile,
Thanks a lot for your great lesson.
thank you so much Emma, and i learn a lot from the video you prepared.
Thanks a lot
Engvid is very user-friendly. By the way, I am Technophile:) Take care.
I don’t know technophobes.
I got 100 :D thanks Emma
To be honest, I underestimated the topic of this video until I discovered a world of words due to this lesson. The word “technophile” I strongly believe could be extremely useful in the TOEFL, so thats why I decided to look some other words suffixed with -phile- likewise autophile, aerophile, astrophile, computerphile, bibliophile, gospelphile, pianophile, brandophile, caninophile, americophile… I would say if they are not helpful at the end, at least I increased my vocabulary lol
A few more you may encounter: “Anglophile” and “Francophile” (someone who admires English/French culture), “cinephile” (someone who is an expert or passionate about film), “ailurophile” (someone who loves cats). Not all -phile/-philia words have a positive meaning, however. “Necrophilia” means a sexual interest in dead bodies; a “pedophile” is someone who is sexually interested in children. Both are considered dangerous and disturbing!
Thank you for your enriching replay. Your insights are worth their weight in gold.Thanks again! Greetings from Dominican Republic!
It’s the first time to know these words ?
Thanks alot
Hi there it’s very interesting all these work that you writre before
