Thanks so much for your lesson.
I know that “As long as” also have a meaning like “because”. But i haven’t seen this meaning in your lesson.
Could you tell me whether you usually use “as long as” with a meaning like “because” ?

claudio77

Another question, Alex. Is this phrase correct?

“If you were here, you could play a round of poker with us.”.

Because I’d like knowing if it’s possible to use “as long as” as long as I were using imperfect present?

Thanks, Teacher!!

Can I ask a question?
I missed only No.9.

Please let me know the answer. Thanks.

sarah2013

Hi Alex. Good job! You used to live in Poland, didn’t you?
I’m from Poland.
I have a question that is connected with English grammar.
How many tenses are there in English?
In my opinion there are only TWO tenses (present and past) Am I right?
e.g. Pres. Cont. is aspect

what should I do?

Hmmm. What’s the file size of the photo you’re trying to upload?

engVid Moderator

Thank you very much.

colors view

Hello Alex,
My question is about 2d sentance form your examples. So, we have a sentance: “You can come as long as YOU’RE quiet”. Why we use YOU’RE and don’t use “…as long as YOU’LL BE quiet”?
Thanks a lot for your lessons,
Anna

anavoitiuk

Alex said at the beginnig of the lesson that the expression “as long as” is generally use in present tense….try to listen the video for another times!! Bye :)

paolo85

Thanks paolo85 for you comment.
I got that we use ‘as long as’ expresion only for present tense and what about transaltion? How should we translate ‘…as long as YOU’RE quiet’ As future?

anavoitiuk

I think so….I suppose that we have to write the sentence with present tense but we can translate as future!!! Are you agree??

paolo85

Thank you Alex. There is very useful.

hanabara

Thank you Alex for your time!!

paolo85

Hi Alex. Is there any difference between “for” , ” since” and ” as long as ” when the meaning comes to the duration? Can they be used in place of each other from that meaning? Besides, is it possible to use ” as long as ” when we have conditional in any form of it instead?
Thank you

Hi there,
I should learn English as long as I will command it fluently. As long as I will learn English I be able to said I am educated person. I think when individual is not able to speak foreign language can’t call yourself as educated. Acc to this I am half educated individual because of (my estimation) I know English in 50% I think.

precieuxdossa

very good, thank you

Reyger

Hi Alex!
my question is: Why the verb “allow” is in Envid’s list of verbs that SHOULD be followed by gerunds, if the verb Allow can be followed by an object + the infinitive, by a gerund, or by a noun. The gerund is used when the subject of the action the gerund describes is unnecessary, as in for general statements.

Examples
Her parents allowed her to go to the party.
Her parents don’t allow smoking in the house.
My parents don’t allow dogs.

Do we have to take out “Allow” of that list in your web? or there is any explanation?

Mayita01

I watched this video twice on June 05, 2021, and took the quiz after watching it once. I got ten correct out of 10.
