So you'll learn the difference between "swimming" and "go swimming", when NOT to use YES and NO in English. How to respond to SHALL WE questions and much more.
There are 5 grammar challenges in all. How many do you know.
This video was recorded partly in London in Mount Street Gardens, Mayfair and on Upper Regent Street.

English speaker here. These are interesting.....little rules about our language that I've never really thought about before. I love language so keep 'em coming!
OK, you got me on the forgot/left one. I always assumed that 'left' is used if it was done intentionally and 'forgot' if you truly forgot. Nowadays, I'm 'leaving' an awful lot of things at home, none by design, I assure you.
"Yes, let's" must be a UK thing. Here in the States people are more likely to say, "Yeah, sure," "Sounds good," etc.
It is proper to say yes. Do not use slang unless you are around your friends who do not care or maybe from poor backgrounds.
In India we say 'yes,definitely ', 'why not',' sure' and even 'sounds good' ..depending on the context..And I think that's perfectly fine.
We say those in the UK too, he's speaking more traditionally
@@ratherbfishing455 lol what? I've probably said some other alternative 1000 times for every time I've said yes. Sometimes it sounds stiff and in most situations I think yeah, sure, sounds good or something else are more appropriate expressions. English is a very casual language overall in my experience
@@ratherbfishing455 Being proper is also a UK thing. And using the word "proper".
A very insightful choice of mistakes. Most Mediterranean languages (and others I might be unaware of) do feature the mistaken version of almost all of these cases. My native language, Greek, is no exception. It took me forever to work out why "run in the park" should be a mistake, and "if yes" and "forget something at...(place)" are perfectly correct in Greek. So first language interference is inevitable there. Thanks again, keep up the great work!
One episode and I got hooked. Wish I encountered this channel earlier.
Now you're here stick around.
I wish I had come across...
@@anaisabel2956 I wish I had stumbled across
new yorker here, i disagree with you about ‘i run’ vs ‘i go running’ .. i would say either of your choices. in fact, using the one with fewer syllables is quicker, so if my information is understood correctly, i see no need to add useless baggage. “i run every day in the park before i start work/school/etc.” love the palm tree !
Exactly. This isn't a "grammar mistake" - it's just a stylistic choice.
0 out of 5. Terrible failure. I need to read Wren & Martin's books on grammar again. Thank you for this humbling video.
We need more of this grammer for advanced please. Thank you
5 out of 5, proud of my English teachers in Maharshtra
I’ve become fascinated with these videos. I’m a native English speaker, and, as such, am not used to analysing the language I use. I’m learning a lot from you about why I say the things I do. The use of go -ing for a leisure activity was interesting, although I wanted to say “I go for a run” rather than “I go running”. Is this just an acceptable alternative?
Aye; OK.
I am not a native speaker but I am sticked with the one you mentioned.
An excellent teacher makes you love a subject, thank you!
O My god you are the best teacher ever!!!!! the only one !!! the best of the best! I have never had the tips you are giving to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you ever
The best teacher ever,I’m so happy i found this channel❤️
some of these seem to be more peculiar to British English usage; in America we are not so strict in phrasing as that; there are variations, it's just our way, as the language is evolving constantly. However, for foreigners learning English, these are good and useful tips as they navigate their voyage into our language and want to make themselves understood. English is a hard language to learn properly, despite what I have heard foreign speakers say, precisely because we are constantly absorbing and inventing new words and new ways to say something.
This guy is actually pretty amazing. Great work! 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Great video ... even for us native speakers. One dead give away for me that English is someone's second language is if they say "how it looks like" instead of "how it looks" or "what it looks like".
Brilliant! Many thanks for making this and the other videos. Finally something for more advanced learners of English :).
you know what! back 12 years ago in Russian school we were taught that 'shall' was a synonym for 'will', only it was used for 'I' and 'we'. OMG
I just can’t stopping watching your videos! They are quite necessary in my life, no words to describe how much I appreciate it and thankful. I’d say that your accent is a must!
Hello, I tough that your explain Will be very difficult for me, but I'm trying to watch some of your videos and I love it. Always saw the difference between British and American..and I heard better American,but you have a clear pronuntiation. Thank you
I really like your approach in teaching in this superb series you have started. It will definitely help English Students out to steer clear of these common mistakes. Thank you so much.
Wow, great use of the new vocab you've learned on this channel!
I know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@@victorryker1277, You're right. You're barking at the wrong tree. Sorry
@@victorryker1277
Bullshit.
I have never ever went to a language school, just listened to native speakers, so all my knowledge is from mirroring them, which is exactly how you learn language initially, but it is very useful to know why things are as they are. I love the channel, so keep it up!
I've watched numerous videos about "go" on youtube. However, the videos never clarify why we add "go" before and verb(ing). Thanks for this, you know what you are doing, unlike the others
Great as usual
Informative, useful and fun.
Thank you for your special and remarkable effort.
Cheers✌
A great comment as usual. Cheers
As always, sooo good. Great delivery and examples. Ha ha, best than private tutors!!
Thank you very much.It’s always good to check one’s grammar mistakes especially when English is not your native language. It was quite useful!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate what you do. love
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are a fantastic teacher. :)

I'm a native Englush speaker in the USA, but you still stumped me on a couple. One of them (Yes, let's) is not used in the US, being more of a British type of phraseology.
Also, I was taught in school on the "If so, then...." to use a comma there to separate those phrases.
Very interesting, these videos.
Sorry I’m being a pain in the proverbial!
Your tutorials seem really good, I’m watching them as entertainment! Brilliant 🤩 👌✌️
Thank you very much for this lesson. I learnt a lot.
Thanks Sir.
It's really cool! I have been making so many mistakes!!!!!!
Great explanations!!!!!! More amazing places from London please!
F.T.Wood in his book Remedial English Grammar says when the word Home is preceded by possessive adjectives like my, your etc we can very well use to before the word Home...but if it comes alone without any possessive adjectives before it, it is an adverb that should not be preceded by" to"
Thanks Sir you are too good my mother is also a english teacher in India at a mandal but not as good as you. you are too good 🙏🙏🙏. Thanks once again.

Definetly challenging! I'd need to watch your videos more than once, but you really go deep ''into'' your language, and I love it. What I'm still troubling is: how to transform your tips in real knowledge for me! Really thankful for your sharings ... and wish you, all the best and... stay mellow!
Thanks, yes I try to give a deep explanation I'm glad you found it useful.
great video thank you
I have found you out a short time, and it has been being very useful. Thank you
Really the best way to teach us that, by having to "think" before the explanation is given we remember a lot better compared to passive learning
Yes, indeed
