    Here's a fun English game for you Dreamers.
    Place the word "only" before or after any word in this sentence:
    *She told him that she loved him.*
    (observe how the meaning changes with each different placement of "only")

  • @wilfredlaboren864
    @wilfredlaboren864 Před 4 lety +1

    Hello. One phrase that you talked about ... “IF I WERE YOU...” gives me goosebumps! I am a non native to English. I learned the language in my later years and I have been living in England for the last 16 years, in Nottingham. Back in the day, I learned that the subjunctive of the verb to be for the first person is... “if I were” and the past tense for the second person is ‘You were’. As you said. (Big sigh of relief here!). Then, such peculiarities got emblazoned in my mind. LONG STORY SHORT, nobody says that! DON’T GET ME WRONG, I love my colleagues at work but the word ‘were’ is nowhere to be heard in their speech. They constantly and consistently say ‘you was’ and ‘If I was you’. HOW COME? I’M NOT BEING FUNNY BUT they are wrong, aren’t they? THE THING THAT really annoys me the most is because I have a foreign accent and a tan, I am always looked down. TO BE HONEST, it hurts!
    BY THE WAY, I love your videos and I am learning lots. May I suggest a topic: The English traps! Or the most common grammar mistakes that native speakers do and how not to fall into them. I hope you appreciate how I used the phrases you talked about in this video. (Wink)

    I'd love to but...
    By the Way
    Don't get me wrong
    How come?
    Long story short
    The thing that...
    If I were you...
    Long time no see
    I'm not being funny but...
    To be honest

    Great episode! Surely, I've heard those phrases but it's good to have them listed. It'll make it easier to practice​.

  • @alexeyveseliev106
    @alexeyveseliev106 Před 6 lety +1

    It is not easy to choose one the best phrase because all of them are useful. But finally I can make a chart. So most useful and new (for me) at the same time are: 1) Long story short. 2) The thing that. 3) Long time no see. By the way if I heard last phrase without preparation, as a non-native speaker I could think that a person wants to not see me a long time, he or she is not happy to see me :)

  • @keerthanasendurvel9685

    I like 'how come' very much and I'm waiting to use it. Great video again Tom, super useful. Thanks so very much.

  • @v.gopalakrishnan350
    @v.gopalakrishnan350 Před rokem

    Don't get me wrong, I love your channel, but the old English Grammarians taught me that intransitive verbs like sleep, dream... usually take an adverbial modifier but not an object except when they're used in the causative sense as in: "sleep the baby! " Meaning "cause/make the baby sleep! "
    Also they take a cognate object as in: "sleep a sound sleep!"
    Here is an Englishman Tom saying, "sleep/dream English!"
    I take it that you mean "Think of English even in your sleep/dream! "
    Is that it?
    Aha! See how I've used the phrase " don't get me wrong in this comment!
    I love your informative channel!
    Thanks for your posts!

    You are the best! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    I've heard these expressions since I moved to London, and most of the time I had to get them by myself, according to the context. I can remember the first time someone asked me "how comes?" When I said I love to live in Paddington. I just sttoped, thought a lit bit and realized he was asking me "why?". It was the only question that could make sense that time. And I answered why I liked to live there , but I was still afraid to be wrong...lololol After that, I googled it and I confirmed I was right. I never forgot that expression and I've tried to use it as much as possible in conversations. Today, I see in this video some expressions I had faced and learnt by myself. Thank you! ♥️
