  • As you know, there is often more than one way to say something. In this lesson, I focus on a very common situation and teach you twenty ways to say “I don’t know.” These include “I have no idea,” “How should I know,” “Beats me,” “Your guess is as good as mine,” “I’m probably not the best person to ask,” and many more! Is this the most useful video you’ll watch today? Don’t ask me. Find out for yourself and check out the quiz when you’re done! www.engvid.com/learn-english-...

      *Hi, Alex 👋*
      Here is a quick correction in regards to an error I noticed 👍
      "Your shoulders" is redundant (repetitive), as shrug intrinsically means to raise one's shoulder.
      Hope this helps!
      Feel free to reach out if you need any more help 😅

    Hi Alex! Thanks for taking time to explain us. BTW, I'm from Caracas, Venezuela, but at the moment I'm living in T&T, specific in Port of Spain, I hope you have some clue where it is. I didn't have any idea where you are from, but I heard about you in your introduction. But if you ask me when Maduro will quit the power, I have to tell you: you'd ask to someone else, because nobody knows.

      I think it's all about convention.
      In general English, we would not omit "to" before the verb.
      But, as people adapt to different writing styles, they tend to also omit to...
      Would I use it? No.
      It's better to be safe than sorry.
      Stick with conventions.

    Have you googled it? Density of a black hole depends on its size. Generally the larger they are, the less dense they would be. The density of an earth-mass black hole is about 2.04×10^30 kg/m3 with the size less than a cm. It's a lot. The largest known black hole with its size about 1300 astronomical units has only a density of about 0.0045 kg/m^3, which is about 300 times less than air. However, he density at the center strives for infinity. So called 'singularity'. Yo may ask: how is it possible? Beats me.
