Just one question dear Rebecca:

Is it possible to say . . .

“I’m just sitting here watching the world GOING by”?

Thanks very much for your precious time and one hundred percent commitment Rebecca.

Regino

Yes, Regino, it would be correct to say that. Thanks again, and take care!

Hi Rebecca. Another great lesson. May I ask you for some explanation on the tenses usage in your example no 1?

1. Present simple + “since” seems to be unorthodox. Is it, in general, allowed? Would present perfect work in your example as well?

2. In the second clause, could present simple or present perfect be used instead of simple past “had”? Is it correct to say “I’ve been so happy since I knew you” ?

Regards

onuhamara

He had the whole world on his feet, but instead of being in the top of the world, he was only watching the world go by. So he lost is opportunity to moving up in the world. Oh poor boy.

Jorge Pedroso

oh…it is wonderful ^_^

anoksha

Thank you, the truth is, I’m only playing with the idioms, only for practice the writing. About the meaning of the Idiom “the world at his feet” means be admired by everyone.

Jorge Pedroso

“he had the world at his feet “…i can not understand this idiom …may you explain it to me again ?

anoksha

For example – Imagine two boxer fighers. When a fighter KO his partner. The partner on the winner feet.
That mean you get success in something.

dvlprBulat

Thanks a lot

anoksha

I think the world of English yours in EngVid. Thank you.

mckeown

Hi, Mckeown! Be welcome to EngVid group! I don’t know if saying “I don’t think the world of him” is grammarly correct, but I am sure it wouldn’t be very polite… ha ha.

Natthi

Dear Rebecca,

That is a nice lesson again! I regard you a very didatic teacher. So I would like to suggest you a lesson about the differences between “thou” x “you” and “ye” x “you”. I know it is archaik English, but it is quite used in classic books like “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, by Harriet Beecher Stowe, or “Moby Dick”, by Herman Melville, especially among the Quaker characters. Of course I can understand them, because “thou” is very similar to the “tu” used in latin tongues. However, I have doubts in pronunciation and conjugation. It is not easy job to find that in books! If you may attend my request, I will be rather glad and grateful. As a Brazilian proverb says: “knowing does not occupy space”!

Best wishes,

Eduardo

Eduardo França

wowwww I am on top of the world since I watched lessons engvid. I am truly moving up in the world and I realy Think the world of my teaches Engvid. Many thanks Rebecca god bless you

Rebecca

Hurray, got 10. This lesson reminds me of Ariel (…part of your world) and Aladdin (I can show the world…). Thanks Rebecca.

juliancute14

Thanks, Rebecca.
I would like to ask a question.
I know the phrasal verb ‘save up’ money.
But can I say ‘save up’ water?

Sophie

Yes, you could say “save up water” if you know the water is going to be switched off, for example. In other words, you are going to save up some water so it is available later. All the best!

Rebecca

Thank!Beautiful lesson!

AlessandroItaly

yess 10/10 love this quiz

Bung Harris

Dear Rebecca,
Here is an idiom for all students:
STUDY LANGUAGE IS OPEN TO THE WORLD.
Best regards.

Peter

Thanks !

xFabian

Thanks 100%

Ruben FJ

Thanks so much Rebeca. I really love this site.

marbeck

Any advice for studying the academic poetry ??

ghasa

I suppose you mean serious poetry. A lot of poetry uses words and expressions in unusual and creative ways so a good book or teacher will help you understand what the poet was trying to convey. I wish you all the best.

Rebecca

thank you.
if someone would like to practice speaking can add me on Skype

Good evening, Rebecca.
I am Haridan.
I have been studying with your lesson on Youtube channel but today I would like to bother you about my worrying. Why can’t I listen English clearly ? Even if I can translate while I am reading the subtitle. But when I don’t read the subtitle I am confused and can’t understand what they are speaking. In one topic or lesson (if I read the subtitle) I know almost all of words, there are just 1 or 2 words that I don’t know.
This is my big problem when I talk with a native speaker or other.
How can I improve ? I have been trying to listen such as BBC radio, engvid lesson, Introvert by Jade ect. But my listening skill is still not good. Are there tricks or techniques for that, Could you please please recommend for me ? Thank you.

Haridan

You could work through some special books for ESL / EFL learners that focus on listening skills. You could also use the guidebooks for the TOEFL, IELTS or TOEIC exams and follow the transcripts while listening to the CD for the listening sections of those exams. In addition, listen to the same passage more than once till you can understand without the subtitles or transcript. All the best to you.

Rebecca

OK that was fine , I felt I’m on top of the world :)
