23/25 thanks a lot. you are best teacher!
Cool. Nice job on the quiz.
and 24/25
Beginner or no, there is always something new to learn and you let it clear… Many of we might know these common verbs but, being honest with you my estimated friend… the phrases that you used, I never have used since i have been learning English and that could be horrible for some but, for me it is fantastic! new phrases are on my list! Thanks Alex!
Awesome. I tried to choose some useful sentences. Just because the verbs are easy doesn’t mean the sentences or expressions you can make with them are easy too.
Great thanks
You’re welcome.
Enjoyed your lesson one more time Alex! Glad there are just 25 most common verbs :-). If you’re heading Niagara falls, just have a lovely time with your family.
I am looking forward to seeing you is the correct form. After a preposition, if you want to use an action or activity, you must use a verb plus -ing.
I like your course so much. It’s help me for my IELTS preparation
That’s fantastic! Good luck!
thanks for this great lesson .
I get 24 on the exam because i never heard about ” do the laundry ” before
(Y) (Y)
In that case, you learned something new!
Thanks Alex. I got a lot of satisfaction out of the test!:)
Thanks Alex! 18/25 :(
Thank you again Alex!
It was a intresting and useful lesson.
Have a nice week, and see you next lesson.
Wow! 25 in 25! Thanks a lot Alex! By the way, I have two questions to engVid team. First: Do you think in start teaching another language as French for instance using the same method? Second: Have you thought about to open engVid to on-line classes? (I guess in that case not for free). Thanks again.
I got 20 in 25

Absolutely! I’ll make more useful lessons for a long time to come!
i had it all correct. Thank you.
Don´t leave teacher Adam! We need you. I mean it! This lesson came in very handy. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I meant teacher ALEX guys! My mistake :(
Could someone please explain why the sentence “I’ve always wanted to have a dog” constructed in Past Participle tense istead of Present Simple?
Hello Nikita!
Well, we use the Present Perfect Tense to express situations that have started in the past and continue until now, but we don’t say exactly when they have happened. In this cases we usually don’t use dates or adverbs like yesterday, last week, ago etc.
On the other hand, we use the Past Simple Tense when we say exactly when the situation happened. For example, “I wanted to have a dog 10 years ago”.
I hope I could help you. Bye!
Alhamdulillah, I can’t believed that I get score 88. It’ a good start for me
i got 21 out of 25. are you from indonesia? where do you live?
Thank you for this lesson. I got 25 out of 25. I’ve turned out more confident since I’ve started to watch your videos!

Great lesson as ever, Alex. I thought about the list of all the lessons (for every teacher in this website) that it would be helpfull if there would be another column with the number (from 1 on) so the students can identify better each lesson. It is a little thing for the website, I am not sure if it is an easy o difficult thing change the website.
Thank you very much, Alex. I got 25 scores.

why this answer “do” not “go” 3. I’ll ________ the laundry later.
make
do#
go
The phrase is “do the laundry” and not “go the laundry.” :) Same with “do your homework,” “do the dishes,” and many more.
Thank you, Alex.
Hi Alex,
I noticed that you sometimes pronounced ‘ed’ as /t/ or /d/.
Can you tell me when I should pronounce ‘ed’ as /t/ or /d/? This has confused me for a long time.
Thank you :-)

Hi coach alex maybe you forget to mention the verb´conjugation go-goes
Hi Dear Alex
Would you please let me know which one is incorrect? and Why?
The architecture exhibited in the Empire State Building and conveyed us an idea of the prevailing attitudes of the day is important for the historical and cultural value it represents.
1)conveyed
2)prevailing
3(is
4)it presents
Thx alot
The sentence is a bit of a mess. I’d say…
The architecture exhibited in the Empire State Building conveyed an idea of the prevailing attitudes of the day; it is important for the historical and cultural value is represents.
Hello Alex, i am from India. I am enjoying your lesson very much. It is very useful. you r a great teacher.i got 24 out of 25. Thanks.

You Are a Very good teacher, you explain the lessons with the way that i can’t fast understand
Thanks :)
Hi Alex. Thanks again for your lessons!
Among these 25 most used verbs, there is no love. “All we need is love”, as said a famous group :)
Haha. Too true. I love this.
“So” at the end of the sentence
Hi Alex!Thanks for your job!I have one question.When you explain about verb “give”, you said “Who gave you that pen?”.I think need say “Who did you give that pen?” Isn’t it?
Thank you a lot!)
“Who gave you that pen?” is the correct sentence. When you don’t know the subject (“who” in this case), there’s no need to use the auxiliary “did.”
These verbs are really very useful. Thanks for this collection Sir.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Hi Alex
