PREPOSITIONS in English: under, below, beneath, underneath

Thanks for video and I am interested .I have recognized my doubtful points and I got this lesson.
I will greatly admire if you would teach a lesson about how to use “may”,”might”,”will” and “would” in sentences and their differences.

Kanchapa

I’ll see what I can do Kanchapa ;)

Adam

Really the above request is so much important to get the correct difference that is making confusion.I will appreciate for your future efforts. thanks in advance.

EdwinUnni

Keep trying Edwin. It’s all about the practice ;)

Adam

Sorry Mr. Adam! I got 6/10. I’ve concerned with Th pronunciation (ð). Sometime I heard the voice of (d).I know this is out of our lessons but could you explain me please. Thank you sir!

Vongvilya

6 isn’t bad Vongvilya ;)

It’s a little hard to explain pronunciation with only typed words. Essentially, the ‘th’ sound pressed air between the teeth and tongue whereas the ‘d’ sound is a pop sound.

Not sure if this helps. I’ll try to make a video about this.

Adam

50/100))) While you were teaching me I was playing FreeCell… sorry

Kuramovoz

Kuramovoz

Hi Hdhdname,

I’m not sure what kind of help you’re looking for, but if you Google this term you’ll find lots of materials about it.

Adam

I got 7/10 as well. It was little confusing. I didn’t understand the real destination of “underneath”))

Mir Murad

Hi Mir,

Generally, if something is touching the top of it, then it underneath that something. Does this help?

hamid mohebbi

Thanks

JMaddy

I didn’t watch the video first

mariont

I am so sorry I have started my quiz before completed the lesson. I have got 3/ 10 !!. For me, the most common is the under and below only. Sure I will listen to it, again and again, to reach them all understand.

MalakEl Mahdi

Hi Adam. I was always taught that we use UNDER when one thing is exactly under another, and we use below when one thing is below a level of another thing. So when things are exactly vertically one over another we use OVER and UNDER and when things are on different levels but not exatly vertically we say ABOVE and BELOW. So it is completely different from what you said. ???

Jarek58

To be honest, Jarek, most people will understand your intention based on the context. If they are not sure, they will ask for clarification. That said, there are technical definitions as well. Over is most commonly used to include movement, and below is most commonly used to include level.

Was there a specific example that was new to you in this lesson?

Adam

70/10. Thank you!

chapacolr

Thank you Adam! These words are sometimes very confusing to use…

John B

You’re not alone John. It’s just a matter of experiencing these words as often as possible. you will see that context plays an important part.

Adam

Thank you so much.

Ne Myo Aung

Thank you Adam! In my mind, I had a lot of questions to use these words. Now everything is okay. I understood how I can use it. But of course I need to make more practice.

aysedemirel

Keep working at it Aysedemirel :)

Panjshir

Try it again, Panjshir. It’s all about the practice ;)

Adam

Thank you very much, it helped me a lot….!!!

Jakub Alvarez

Mr. Adam can you help me with fifth question? I don’t get it.Can I use below?

raging beast

Hi Raging Beast,

Technically, yes, you can, but the implication will be different. If you dropped it there on purpose (with intention) then it would be below. If it is accidental, then underneath. This is because the idea of something on top covering it and making it difficult to reach would use under.

Does his help?

Adam

This topics aren’t very easy to learn because they are very similar each other and they create confussion among them, but we have studied them a little more than before and then we know how to use them better. Thanks teacher Adam, it has been a very interesting lesson as always.

angardiobel

Sorry, “These topics…”

angardiobel

You’re right, Angardiobel. These words can be confusing, but in most cases the listener will understand you even if you use a slightly different word. Just make sure the general idea is clear and practice until these become easier.

Adam

oh thanks 7/10
i think its enough to start

pankaj singh negi
