Thanx for the lesson, Alex! Keep it up!
Thanks, Valery. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! such great vocabularies.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson.
I didn’t get a chance earlier to thank you enough for your recommendation about some really good books. I had read the ‘wonder” by R.J. Palacio, and I can tell it was an extremely interesting book which I benefited a lot on so many levels. and I’m about to get the others, though that is not easy getting them in where I live. So, thank you so much
Hi Hassan, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s probably my favourite book from the five I recommended in that video. I would suggest getting your hands on The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time next.
Thank you, certainly I will.
Very useful lesson, thank you Alex!
A smile!
My pleasure! I’m glad it was useful, byte.
I join to previous students. Great lesson! I’m not in advenced level but everything was clear, no matter it was difficult. My result is 100!!!!! Thanks a lot, Alex!
That’s great, Larisa! I’m happy to hear that it was clear for more than just advanced students.
It was a very clear explanation, as always. I have had a good punctuation, this material is not much easy to memorize yet but despite of this, I appreciate a lot this work!
“I appreciate this work a lot!” My pleasure, hrodebert. I’m glad it was clear and useful.
Hallo Alex,
please, could be used this expressions in the IELTS speaking part ?
(The questions about economy, politics, …)
Or would it be too formal ?
Absolutely! I think your examiner would be quite impressed if you managed to use something like “this stems from…” or “this is triggered by…” in your speaking section. It’s more important to use a variety of tenses and structures in the speaking section, though.
Although I got eight out of ten It seems quite difficult to use. Just in case not look stupid among professors, I remember cause and effect power verbs. Thanks a lot.
You shouldn’t want to remember them to not look stupid in front of professors. You should want to remember them so you can use them in your own work, studies, etc. Good luck, Yurgen!
That was Great. Thanks
You’re welcome. Thanks for checking it out!

Take care!

HI, Alex
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
I have some questions about the following information.
As an English teacher, I always want to help my students learn as much as possible, but sometimes I’m not sure which (phrasal) verb doesn’t have passive usage and which should have sb. as the subject.
Can you help me check them? Thank you so much.
A create/produce/cause/trigger B
A contribute to/result in/bring about/give rise to/lead to B
A is responsible(accountable) for/is to blame for/answer for B
B is created/produced/caused/triggered by A
B is brought up by A(how about other phrasal verbs?)
10/10 thankss!!

I liked so much this lesson
I enjoyed so much this lesson
I enjoyed the lesson and the lecturing methodology as well!
The increasing new cases of covid-19 brought about new stricter measures, lead to a new Lockdown.
Almost a year, since March 3, 2020, which was the first Lockdown, in Greece, the pandemic caused several problems to our lives and economies.
While we are waiting for public vaccination, named “Eleftheria” (Freedom), is crucial to stay at home, wearing a mask, keep physical distance, and be responsible for the virus spreading.
There’s no doubt we are living in hard times.
Politicians and doctors agreed that all these measures were based on the one-year observation of the virus.
People are divided into those who believe and those who denied the existence of the virus.
We are all exhausted.
I watched this video twice on May 7, 2021, and I took the quiz after watching it once. I got 10 correct out of 10.
Thank you, Alex!
Thank you so much Teacher
