If you want to ASK him you can say “Why did you go off suddenly”? Or Why did you go offline?
thank u thank u so much ronnie
i m a big fan of yrs i like u very much
Hi, I’m replying cause’ the leave a message button didn’t work. I just HAD to say that you made me laugh a lot we your cute and funny way to teach. I wish I had have a teacher like you when I studied in Brazil, Spain and in France. In those countries the English language is so badly thought !! OMG
I think that we must at first learn how to speak before learning stuff like how to write a correct phrase because if no one understands when you speak a “correct phrase” because of your pronunciation … after writing this message to you, I’m going to look after a video where you teach us how to pronunciate the vowels when they are combined in words. ex: ae ai ao au ea ee ei … etc. And I would love to watch a video where you explain to us how we pronunciate the letter i because foreigners pronunciate it as the letter e. Most people don’t see the difference between bit/beat pitch/peach and so on. have a very nice day !! I like you very much. Carlos.
hi ronnie how are you i learn a lot english by listening and watching your engvid.com and you are a very good expleaner

come,came,come(irregular)
Goodluck with ur English!

hi fatima i just wanna ask u tht
someone is gonee for luch so tht we can say tht way e.g. he has gonneout for luch or say he went out for luch which one is correct?
Hi there,
Both r correct,but it depends on what tense do u wanna use?,simple past or present perfect??!
Plz b careful about dictation,u know wrong dictation disturbs the Language n makes misunderstanding!
The best 2 u.
yes but these sentenses r in past tense
n wat u mean by diction
He went out for lunch. He’s on lunch. He has gone out for lunch. He’s not here.
Thanks ronnie u the best

Gone is used when you have not returned.
Went is used when you left some place and then returned!

OK!
thnx to you ronnie love u and the whole team, from egypt
im hard here guys yeah thank you so much
You are hard?????
Tks Ronnie. You’re the best to teacher.
I did quiz very well. Lily from Brazil
Thanks a lot Ronnie. Pronunciation is a skill the most of the students require, like me!
A have a question about vocabulary: what’s the difference between “trip” and “travel”?
thx in advance, bye
Hi there,
Trip:a journey 2 a place & back again,specially a short one 4 pleasure or a particular purpose.
Travel:2 go from 1 place 2 another,specially over a long distance.(2 travel around the world)
Hope I could help.
Trip is a noun. I’m going on a trip.
Travel is a verb. I’m traveling to Alaska
But we can say: “I’m goint to traveling”?
And “I’m going on a traveling”?
thx Ronnie, you’re an excellent teacher!
You cannot say “I’m going to traveling”, but you can say I’m going to travel! Remember once and for all that GERUND and INFINITIVE are never used together!!!
So, why “I’m looking forward to meeting you” is correct?
“I’m going to traveling” Is wrong. You can say “I’m going traveling”.
“I’m going on a traveling” NO! Traveling is a verb. You have to say “I’m going on a trip”! Trip is a noun!
I hope that helps Bruno!!!
I have learned a lot here
thank you.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
can you tell about ‘substances’. Is the T sound?
We say it like “sub-stinc-siz”

Could you help me?
Thank you!
Hmmm–check if your browser is up-to-date.
tanks ronnie i am new here .i hope you helpe me for learning englesh
Hello teacher Ronnie! How are you? I will be migrating to Canada very soon. I learn a lot from your lessons especially “pronunciation”. I am not a native English speaker but our 2nd official language is English. So, I have a different accent, I pronounce some English word incorrectly and I find it difficult some times or most of the time. Lol!
I want to learn how to speak, talk and sound like a Canadian. If you don’t mind, can you teach me how to pronounce some of these words Teacher Ronnie:
-written, kitten, cotton, button, mountain, bottom
-mouth, months(I find it hard to pronounce month and months). How do you pronounce “THS”?
-coupon, data, about
-certificate, predicate(will it be pronounce as “KIT” or “KAYT”?), enumerate, alternate, liquidate, consulate(will it be pronounced as “EYT” or “IT”)
-able, applicable, convertible, table, vulnerable, adorable, cable, marble, gamble, humble(would you pronounce it as “BALL” of “BELL”?
I hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day Teacher Ronnie.
Sorry, I cannot “type” how to say words! I suggest you go to an online Canadian dictionary and listen to the words! Good luck in Canada!!!
Could you make a video about phrasal verbs?, because that confuses a lot of people including me..please
your effort is greatly appreciated.
hey ronnie . how to eat ourself . plz reply me soon . thanks.
BBQ’d I think would be the tastiest!
I wish that you can help me to immigrate to Canada.I really want to work and study there and for sure i want to see you :) face to face
Great lesson! Thanks.
thank you so much Ronnie.
Hi Ronnie
U’r my favourite teacher, please can you give us a lesson about phrasel verb?
Sure!
I have great regard your efforts .
Can you tell us why do we write the letter “d” in “Wednesday” although we don’t pronounce it ?
Because it is a silent letter!
Dear Ms Ronnie,
Thank you very much for your free lessons. Your lessons are cognitive and marvellous.
Could you recommend me popular fairy-tales in Canada.
Thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Ra.
Sorry, I don’t know many. You should google “Canadian fairy tales”!!!
Thanks a lot for this lesson!
como se diferencia los tiempos entre el presente perfecto y el pasado perfecto
Present perfect – past events in you life. Ex. I have been to Mexico.
Past perfect = The past perfect tense is often used when we are relating two events which happened in the past. It helps to show which event happened first. Ex.. After I had taken a bath, I brushed my teeth. (my first action = past perfect!)
Can we say this? im goona traveling?
No. I’m gonna travel.
Hi there Ronnie! Your lessons are the best ones :D well, even if it isn’t connected to this lesson, I’ve always wanted to know if using “ain’t” was correct,what were its meanings because I usually read it in the lyrics and hear people using it but I didn’t see it on my English schoolbooks.. I wish you could light my mind and explain this “mystery” :P xoxo bye
“Ain’t” means “isn’t”, “aren’t”, “hasn’t” and “haven’t”.
But it’s only okay for casual/informal conversation!
Thank you so much EngVid :)
“ain’t” is very informal. I think it makes people sound uneducated when they say it – I don’t recommend using it! In songs they NEVER follow grammar rules!!! It is art!
Finally, I found some thing that It’ll improve my speech.
I think there are still so many silent letters left … would u mind to explain us the rest … ^_^ thanks …
Ok.
Hi Ms. Ronnie. How do you pronounce the word “says”?
say”z”
Thanks a lot, Ronnie. Your lesson is really helping me a lot.
thanks alot
how you pronounce

Talk”t”
Play “d”.
Look at Rebecca’s lesson on simple past pronunciation!
please tell me the correct pronunciation.
climb, comb, crumb, debt, doubt, numb, plumb, subtle, thumb, tomb, climb, crumb, dumb, comb
All of these have a silent “b”.
acquire, acquit, blackguard, czar, muscle, scissors, victual
When added to the end of a word, it changes the pronunciation of the word, but is in itself, silent. hope, drive, gave, write, site
halfpenny
thought, through, daughter, light, might, right, fight, weigh
hour, honest, honor, heir, herb
business
blackguard, knead, knell, knickers, knife, knight, knock, knot, know, knee, knowledge

colonel – opossum
corps, coup, pneumonia, pseudo, psychology, ptomaine, receipt, psychiatrist, psychotherapy, psychotic
butter, finger, garden, here, myrrh
I am still waiting your answer ms ronnie.how can I get to site of english dailogues
Google “English dialogues”
Ronnie you are a good teacher.Thank you for this good lesson
Hi Ronnie,
I have a question, but it doesn´t have anything to do with your lesson. I hope you can help me.
It is about the use of past perfect. I know past perfect is used to talk about an action in the past that happened before another action in the past. i.e:
“After I had bought the paper, I went home.”
I´ve seen a sentence that really made me feel unsure about past perfect. Here you have the sentence:”Before they had set up the social networking sites, we didn´t have any way of communicating over long distances.”
Logically we didn,t have it first, and then they set it up. Why is it used the other way around.Hope you can help me. Thanks, Richard.
Because they use the word “before”, it is telling you that there were no ways of communicating, until the sites had been set up. The word before is what is confusing you!
thank you Ronnie it Great Lesson
VERY INTERESTING LESSON.THANKS
you are perfect teacher , thanks a lot
Dear Teacher Ronnie
I have homework.Can you help me?
Using TOO or ENOUGH in the answer.
Can we walk to the supermarket?(close) Yes, it is too close. or
Yes, it is close enough.
Thank you very much
When we use “too”, it means something is bad or negative. “I have too much homework.” “I have too many problems.”
When we use “enough” it means the quantity is perfect. “I have enough money to buy the top.” “I have enough time to help you!”
Too = bad
Enough = okay!
I’ve got 4/4.
i hope i will understand & speak english in a better way ronnie u are a nice teacher.
Thanks Ronnie ma’am . You have been become of mine best English teacher in Engvid.com. Whenever i come to Engvid.com I choose your topic and listen to you very carefully. you know why i have liked you because of when you are going to teaching your body language expressions help to me understand to topic and you have a very excellent tact which smiling. Thanks Ronnie Madam.
Hi Ronnie
“Lan brought some food for the party”
“She_, we have plenty”
Which answer is right?
A. needn’t have brought
B. didn’t need to
thanhk u
b
thank you very much
can you explain to me, i don’t understand
Hi Ronni, i want to ask about the word “obvious” it is has a silent letter?,because i heard many people say it with silent b & some others say it with silent v
I would say ah-vee-ous. So, the b is silent. People’s accents/where they are from will change the pronunciation of words!
you know what Ronnie, there is something makes you special in explaining lessons in such an easy way. you are doing something like chatting with our minds so we won’t forget the rules specially when you draw or link the rule to something in life
I love you Teacher Ronnie you have a good things for me

Hello teacher!
I would like to ask you some questions.
‘What r silent words?’
Are they every ‘ k ‘ before ‘ n’ ,
every ‘ p ‘ before ‘ s ‘ and ‘ n ‘ ,
every ‘ w’ before ‘ r ‘ ,
every ‘ l ‘ between ‘ u ‘ and ‘ d ‘ ,
every ‘ s ‘ between ‘ i ‘ and ‘ l ‘ ,
every ‘ b’ between ‘ vowels’ and ‘ t ‘ ,and
every ‘ t ‘ between ‘f’ and ‘ e ‘ , ‘ s and e’ , ‘ s and l’?
Answer me teacher please!!
Sorry, English does not have a simple pattern like this for silent letters – they are all different!
That is becouse english include many words for diffrent laguages and don’t have its own alphabet. Latin, greek and franch espcially and many others langugea affect to english. And I/ve even heard russian word ‘pgrom’. And Canada I know 50% franch country)))))))))
Hi Ronnie!
thank you for your wonderful lessons!they are very helpful!!!
i just have a question – I came to canada to study music at university and it’s been almost a year since i came here (i’m from russia).
Now i’m working very hard on my english because i’m trying to get rid of my russian accent although many people i meet think that I speak english since birth but not for a year..
could you tell me what can i do you to reduce my accent?
Hi Ronnie!thank you for your wonderful lessons!they are very helpful!!!i just have a question – I came to canada to study music at university and it’s been almost a year since i came here (i’m from russia).Now i’m working very hard on my english because i’m trying to get rid of my russian accent although many people i meet think that I speak english since birth but not for a year..could you tell me what can i do you to reduce my accent?
The only advice I can offer you is to listen and repeat how native English speakers speak! And listen and repeat and listen and repeat – a million times!!! You need to hear how you say the words vs. a native speaker! You should also record yourself to hear how you say words! Good luck!
Hi Ronnie I am from Colombia.I am an AACOUNTANT ,I have my inetrview with american company (HOUSTON ) my porblem is that I can`t understands quick,Iwas studening in ELS HOUSTON TEXAS, 2005,2006, but I can havo good conversation my porobles is question

cuidate te felicito por tu trabajo exitos
You should think about what questions they will ask you in the interview – most companies ask the same questions. Prepare your answers. Also, if you don’t understand what they have asked you, just ask them to repeat it… if they are good people, they will try to help you understand the question!
Check out these videos on job interviews in English –

thank you for helping me
Hi..Sir.. i have a doubt. I passed exam, I have passed exam. When we use this ? what is diffrence between this two words ? Which is correct?. Thankyou.
First, I am not a “sir”. My name is Ronnie! Sir is only for men!
You have to say I passed my exam = simple past tense.
OR I have passed my exam = present perfect. They are both correct!
We use present perfect if the action is based on life experience and has no time marker. We use simple past for routine actions with a time marker!
In this situation, I would use present perfect!
nice video
i really want to improve my english in speaking skills. my yahoo is : inception.life@yahoo.com.vn, awlays welcome ^^

For grammar, you just have to memorize the rules. For your accent, listen and repeat English words, then record your voice so you can hear and improved your accent!

Mosquito breeding goes on unabated in rural India
The intensified antilarval measures taken up by the civic authorities during the recent outbreak of chikungunya and dengue in the rural India do not seem to have had a positive impact. Several areas continue to be mosquito-breeding centers on a large scale, researchers of the vector Biology and Control laboratory of the Andhra University have found. The laboratory officials found large density of mosquito larvae in the water samples collected from different districts. The samples were taken from East Godavari, Nellore, Srikakulam and areas near by lakes and ponds. The density was 2000 to 2100 larvae per dip of water in these localities on an average while the normal limit is less than 200 larvae per dip of water. Each dip of water contains about 300ml. The uni-dimensional method of using only chemicals to curb mosquito menace, perhaps , was the reason for this , the researchers surmise.
“Instead, an integrated mosquito management using physical, chemical and biological methods should have been taken up. Networking of various agencies involved in the efforts is also crucial. Mosquito control is a continual exercise and results cannot be expected by taking once-in-a-year anti-larval drive” says fellow Researcher with UGC on Vector control K.Hemalatha. The Vector Control Department would be submitting these recommendations in the national-level workshop on Integrated Mosquito Management to be held on Monday through Visakhapatnam municipal Commissioner Ms.Satyavathi.B.
Spreading of mosquitoes in rural Indian and need to have an integrated approach to effectively control the breeding of mosquitoes.
Modern Indian life
India is a culturally and ethnically diverse nation. In view of rising crime, it causes for several departments of administration of both central and state government have been failed to be vigilant. Many of elected leaders and administrations have been retorting since independence. During elections, voters have been hearing the rumble of wrong promises across the nation.The iniquities of Indian politicians and authorities are a bolt on humanity and it began to poverty and scurried death. The corrupted politicians must be battered in the court of law and according to world lore, the Indian politicians the highest depositors in the Swiss has healing properties.A confrontation between looting political parties and the parties led to a tense situation in all fields of employment and lives of people. Country side did not heed the advice of the others because of their obstinacy. People never dare to bias towards facilitation and development of infrastructure.
India is not only the oldest civilized nation but also mother of several launchers like “Yoga, Kamasutra, gurukula education”. The infrastructure of the rural life such as handy crafts, joint families influenced due to poor administration and unworthy policies. Authorities and elected leaders are making people burst into hysterical tears at the hopeless theories. Youngsters are bickering when they play crucial play in the society due to corruption and crime. How nation could see the pinnacle of the success above their expectations ? Let hope to see the path of climbing Himalayas.

Thank you, Ronny. I really do always thought that my favorite magazine Psychology must be pronoced with (psi) as the greek letter.
You are really professional teacher – you can explain everything to everyone in many ways because you really understand it.
I’m really pleased to learn your lessons.
You are the best. But don’t turn up your nose ;)
We say it like “sigh”!
Ronnie that lesson was very informative. What is the rule when you have to pronounce words that have two constants in the middle. I have no problem with compound words, but other words I do with two constants letters that are together. Do you pronounce the first letter in the word or the second letter for example in the word investigate like the letters s and t. How do you determine what letter will be silent. Would you please do some examples and explain and how to use could and would whats the different with those two words. Please respond Thyou
hi ronnie i have a problem with songs specially rap songs i like to sing with lyrics and i can’t cause its really hard so please can u tell me what i’m gonna do to improve my english correctly :D ?
Don’t listen to rap for grammar. Vocab is OK but NEVER listen to music for grammar! Keep on watching the lessons to help you improve!
if i have a teacher like you in childhood i’ll be much much better
Thankyou so much Ronnie for your valuable classes… i like fun with studies and i’m sucessfull in that bcz of you,now i’m regular student of you thanks.
Thanks for the lesson, Ronnie. I’m sure it helped a lot of people who struggle and/or are learning English. :3
Thank u for lesson. Questions are: “S” is always silent with letters ‘isl”? If there is any rule in what case letter “t” is silent ? May be when it stays after or together with some other letter(s)? In what words else “t” is silent?
Ronnie, you’re amazing! I like your lessons very much! They are simple and understandable! Thank you! Keep on the good work :D
Thanks Alot it was really helpful..
hi ,, Can i say?
Your shipment is cleared Or your shipment was cleared or your shipment has been cleared
thanks
If the shipment was just cleared (at that moment that you are talking) use “is cleared”.
Was cleared and has been cleared are the same = they mean the shipment was cleared sometime in the past!
Thnx Ronnie

with one is correct.
Question 2, (at the) the sound (eight the)
but Look at me we didn’t read the sound (look eight me but we read (look cake me)
like> thank you (thank Q),.> we didn’t read thank you
