I got 9 correct out of 10 questions/ How about the sexual organs? Are they less important? )

Valery teacher

You can live without it, but – is it life?

Volodymyr

Hi Valery,

As Volodymyr mentioned, the sexual organs are not vital, meaning you can live without them. So, though not less important, they would be subject of a different video.

Adam

thank you Adam.

cuscamayta

That’s good lesson. I think using illustrations can help us to learn quickly and easily.

Iman5316

Hi Iman,

That’s probably true, but there are copyright issues to consider. You can do an online search for these. There’s lots out there ;)

Adam

Thank you for your lesson, it really is useful.
But I have a question, umm… why do our bodies have such parts? And each part has a defect or not.
I will support you forever, Adam. Thank you if you answer my question.

AmyLe

I believe that “exhale” could be the correct answer in the question 6 as well.

Marcio07

Yes, I think the same

Camilo Martinez

Exalar (em português) é passivo (deixa sair)[como o perfume, uma fragrância]
Expelir é ativo (botar para fora) [como um cálculo, urina, fezes etc.]

RubensGD

Yes, I think so.

Momo-www

Hi Marcio,

That’;s a good point, though the lungs expel (get rid of). Generally we exhale from the mouth. The action involves more than just the lungs. Does this help?

Adam

We can say that “oxygen is inspired and carbon dioxide is expired by the lungs”, can’t we?

genilvan

You could, but no-one really does. It’s more technical.

Adam

Hi Sr. Adam, you’re very good teacher.

Rsgld

great lesson thank you very much.

Adam

Thanks

Maged Mohey

Hello Adam~
I can not understand Whythe answer is *expel*, not *exhale*? Could you explain his? Thank you so much.

Carol Chan

Hi Carol,

Good question. The lungs expel (get rid of). Generally we exhale from the mouth. The action involves more than just the lungs. Does this help?

Adam

It was a very good lesson very useful for me, thanks Adam

omontiel0511

it´s so good! hearing and remember about some subjects and finally to be checking the different meanings of words that sometimes can be easily confused.
Thanks.

Hi Adam! You should have put on a medical gown and stethoscope to give as this lesson …Of course it’s a joke! Really interesting! A bit fast, but I understood you well however, thanks a lot!

luislopezter

Thanks, Adam.
I would like to ask “the popularity of social networks across/in/among all age groups is rising.” Which preposition should we use in this sentence?

Sophie

Hi, I would also like to ask in the following sentence ‘The government’s own Central Pollution Control Board lists 15 substances in fireworks which it says are “hazardous and toxic”.’ Why do we need to use it after which? Can we omit ‘it’? Then ‘which’ represents what and ‘it’ represents what? When do we need to use ‘it’ after ‘which’?

Sophie

‘which’ goes with fireworks, which of course can’t say anything. ‘it’ is the Board. Technically. which should be that ;)

Can’t take ‘it’ out. Can rewrite like this:
The government’s own Central Pollution Control Board lists 15 substances in fireworks that are “hazardous and toxic”. (the ‘it says’ is redundant).

Adam

Hi Sophie,

I would use across, but like this:
The popularity of social networks is rising across all age groups. (among can also be used, but across suggests a spectrum).

Hope this helps.

Adam

Great lesson as usual!

Adam i have question, if i don’t know word where can i translate this word for georgian? i seen your youtub videos and i don’t use google translate and when i went oxforddictionary there is only english translate and i want to transalte for my tongue and can you help me?

GiorgiKacho

Hmm. Two good alternatives we know of, DeepL and Bing Translate, don’t have Georgian. Have you tried translate.ge?

engVid Moderator

Hi GiorgiKacho,

I’m afraid I don’t know where to find Georgian, but the moderator’s suggestion might help.

Adam

I know it has nothing to do with my body & organs, but could anyone please explain to me which of the following alternatives is (or are) correct: (1) a few hour instruction, (2) a few-hour instruction, (3) a few hours instruction or (4) a few hours’ instruction?

When I was writing a text a few days ago, I decided to go for the last option — though it was not any decision in the truest sense of the word but the very first and natural choice of mine which I had not pondered over for hours before making it… I just made it. Now, however, as I am proofreading the text, some doubts have arisen.

Options (1) and (3) are clearly wrong because of the lack of punctuation marks – the hyphen and the apostrophe, respectively. But what about the other two options? I read a post on the Internet (though the website was not a one I would call “a reliable source”) that “a few hours’ instruction” is an archaic and “more dramatic” (whatever it means) expression, and that the author of the post would basically never use it personally. But why? Whereas “a few hours’ instruction” has around 15,000 Google hits, “a few-hour instruction” has none…

Also, should I use the article “a” before “few hours’ instruction? Here (https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/5577/should-you-say-hour-or-hours-in-this-type-of-sentence) one person says I should not.

ernest

And one more thing: what about “a few(-)hours(-)LONG instruction”?

ernest

(1) “a few hour instruction” is incorrect because “hour” needs to be pluralized to “hours”.
(2) “a few-hour instruction” is correct because the hyphen connects “few” and “hour”, indicating that they function together as an adjective modifying the noun “instruction”.
(3) “a few hours instruction” is incorrect because “few hours” needs to be treated as a single concept and be hyphenated, as in option (2).
(4) “a few hours’ instruction” is also correct, where the apostrophe indicates possession and shows that “instruction” belongs to “a few hours”. This option implies that the instruction is associated with or given during the few hours

leduquej

“A few hours’ instruction” may sound a bit more formal or old-fashioned in some situations, but it is correct. You can easily find similar examples, like “a few minutes’ work” or “a few hours’ drive” (though most people, even native speakers, get the punctuation wrong). A more natural way to say it might be “a few hours of instruction”.

I’m not exactly sure why, but you generally only see compound adjectives like this with exact numbers (“a two-hour wait”, “two hours’ wait”), and not with words like “few” or “many”.

engVid Moderator

OK, so, generally, the possessive form is a bit more old-fashioned (and perhaps more British than American) but both are perfectly correct.

Here: http://random-idea-english.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-ten-minute-walk-ten-minutes-walk.html, this is all well explained and exemplified, too.

One should just pay attention to their punctuation and remember that before the possessive form there are no articles — it’s a two-hour instruction, but: it’s _ two hours’ instruction.

Thanks, endVid

ernest

Hi Ernest,

The moderator gave a good answer (a few hours’ instruction).

When in doubt, change the structure:

After receiving instructions for just a few hours, …

rodick

Hi Engvid Team,
could you please explain the difference between the word of ‘Expel’ and ‘Exhale’?

daahirjaalle

Expel means “to push out”, not just physically. For example: “squids swim by expelling water behind them”, or “I was expelled from school because I got in a fight”.

Exhale has a more specific meaning; it means “to breathe out”.

6. The lungs absorb oxygen from the air and _______ CO2 from the body.

Does “exhale” correct?

Jerry Gu

I used to think that organs’ names have to be similar in different languages, becouse they are made from Latin. But they are much different in English, Ukrainian and Russian languages. It’s interesting.
Thanks, Adam.
