hi Emma,

1)Petrol and gas have makes up major sharing in total energy consumption over the time span.
2) Petrol and gas have made up major sharing in total energy consumption over the time span ?
Which one is correct ?

If there is a present perfect tense sentence and I want to use phrase verb MAKES UP. Then should I use MADE UP or MAKES UP?

vaghanideep

finally, i scored hundred percent in quiz examination conducted by engvid .Credit goes to you teacher .

rameshwar rao p

Excellent first time I do this kind of exercise and also I think that explenation was very well, it will help me in my daily work

cruzalp

Thanks Emma,

The chart shows that ________ half (53%) of the voters were under the age of 35.

Why we cannot put ‘over’ in this sentence?

liuxian

if you want to use over it should be
Just over
Slightly over
if you used the word over alone it makes your sentence inaccurate

magde

I have been questioning the same thing. I will appreciate if anyone could explain this.

zehra.cakir

Which one is correct:
Fifty percent of the living expenses ARE (?) rent.
Fifty percent of the living expenses IS (?) rent.
.
Thanks Emma for her lessons!

K2016

Hi, I also got confused, but I think both are correct. Help us, Emma!

Júlio César L Sousa

As I know, the correct one is

Fifty percent of the living expenses are rent.

because
expenses: plural
expense: singular

Tigani Ismail

Yes, the right answer is are.

Hingka Lee

But the subject of this sentence is “Fifty percent” which is singular.

You Kim

yes you are right.The answer is are.

ellendayo

How can i request to be your friend!

Nan Aye Aye Aung Tun

Thanks Emma,
1/The chart shows that ________ half (53%) of the voters were under the age of 35.
Why we cannot put ‘over’ in this sentence?
2/Which one is correct:
Fifty percent of the living expenses ARE (?) rent.
Fifty percent of the living expenses IS (?) rent.

Fairym

1. in terms of fraction, 3% is a slight percentage and not befitting for “over” over comprises of larges changes say more than 10%.

2. Fifty percent of the living expenses is rent.
(compare, one out of five colors was very bright)
the subject verb agreement : verb should agree with subject which is “fifty percent”.

should i write “To put it in a nut shell” in the beginning of conclusion in IELTS writing task 2 ?
Some argue that writing “To conclude/In conclusion” is much better than that.

This wasn’t much helpful but yeah it did come handy.

Before you grade someone’s great efforts, try to be at a minimum of “one tenth of their caliber”; because, it is very easy to post derogatory comments but very hard to selflessly suit and post such nice videos and that too free of cost….

Hi Emma,
There is a mistake in your note.
The percentage is 42%. You wrote:
Slightly above, just over – 40%
Slightly below, just under – 45%
Is it the opposite, isn’t it?

Devanice

42% is just above or slightly above 40%
42 % is slightly below 45%

its perfectly correct… :)

vadrenaline

Hi there!
Is that correct to write?: “According to the pie chart, coffee makes up 20% of the total”

pubududsmk

Good class Emma.. you are very cool

elmindog

Emma, in some exercise I can use both situations below: ” very small or smallest “, ” very large or largest “, because here in Brazil the English teachers say that is correct use only ” smallest, largest and etc ” I think superlatives… Do you agree or I can use both situations?

You MUST say “slightly over” and NOT “slight over” : an adverb (slight+LY) is the modifier of an adverb/preposition (“over”). An adjective (“slight) is the modifier of a noun. Otherwise your teching is good and lively.

I am very grateful and thankful to you Emma, I just started following your channel to learn the English language that I need so much, I am a PhD student from Algeria in the Department of Economics, and considering that my level is very weak in English and it is something that defects and hinders me in carrying out high-quality research, so beware of this message that I sent it to you now and edited it with the help of Google Translate, so I intended to follow you and I thank you for your endeavor again, I hope for your help.
