Thanks! That is a well-written email. On Patreon, we covered writing emails from all angles. That is a good one to review. Sorry to hear about that terrible fine and delayed luggage. Nightmare! However, it still looked like it was an enjoyable vacation. I've been to Paris once. I loved it. By the way, the maximum amount for a Super Thanks is £500.
Thank you for the kind and generous support! Well, I do realize there was some repetition in my message, and I could have elevated the language more, but I didn't want to sound too flowery. That kind of tone could actually backfire. I really hope my email is received and read. In my first draft, by the way, I capitalized "euro"! Oops. Then I learned. I appreciate the Super Thanks -- it makes up for the fine. Ha ha! See you on Patreon in September. :)
@@Englishwithjennifer I'm sure the email will be read. It would be great if it resulted in proper signs being put on the trains and at the stations. They simply need to say, "Gardez votre billet en main." Yes, "euro" is like "pound" and "dollar." It doesn't need capitalized unless it begins the sentence. This gives me an idea for a lesson. "What words do we capitalize?" As for the Super Thanks - J’espère que vous obtiendrez plus, Madame.
Well, to be fair, I'm sure tourists in the U.S. have had some negative experiences as well. I wouldn't say that customer service here is consistently good. It depends a lot on the individual person. In general, though, servers are polite if not exactly friendly. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello mam As we know gerund phrase working as noun . So can we use gerund phrase or gerund with Dummy subject "THERE" as noun. As)-- 1) -- THERE was [fighting in the class] . 2)-- THERE was [starting a new business] in town. Is "THERE" word still "DUMMY subject" in those sentences ? And what is the real subject in these sentences ? I hope you help us .
A dummy subject is a placeholder. The real subject follows the linking verb. Not all gerunds easily or logically function as subjects: (correct) There was fighting. (incorrect) There was starting. >> More natural: Someone started a new business/Someone set up a new business in town.
@@Englishwithjennifer Nice question So mam in your example Example --). "THERE" was fighting in the class. In this sentence What is real subject and Is "THERE" word working as DUMMY subject or Adverb of place. Please reply
Welcome to real world. I happened to me in Athen, when I got on the Bus with my ticket on hand. But this ticket needed to be introduced in a as to speak a scissors in the middle of the bus. So when suddenly out of the blue showed up a staff's member that requiery show him my ticket return. So , this staff' members started to yell that my ticket into the scissors. So the drivers closed the bus door. and i was brought a near "POLICE STATION", I was trying , I was trying, for longer give my opinion , that I had no idea about this rules , a part of the passengers start to yelling to the staff members and the drivers , that we are tourist. ( my ex-wife and I) .....finaly after paying my fine i was setting free, I thought the gallow was waiting for us. Be careful if you ever by chance want to travel to Grecee, don't count on me for such a ruthless public service. end trans
So sorry, Manuel! I've never been to Athens. It certainly helps to be informed in a new country. I can at least say that I wasn't treated harshly or disrespectfully in Paris. I think some degree of understanding and patience with tourists should be shown. Let's hope for more positive traveling experiences in the future!
Lost 200 dollars last month, on my way to my family in Fargo. I live in Europe, brand new rules, you need to get an American Visa, or "wave-card". Lost money are nothing, I couldn't visit my family.
I'm so sorry. Not being able to see family is a true loss. That hurts more than losing money, right? I know I need to have perspective. Relatively speaking, our problems were minor. It was inconvenient not to have clean clothes and all our toiletries. There was even one medication that I should have packed in my carry-on and not my suitcase, but I had been counting on getting my luggage within 24 hours. To be honest, even without all those things, we were okay. No one was injured. We all were healthy. We were able to enjoy each day in Paris. Eventually, we did get our luggage. As for the fine, I accept that it was my responsibility to obey the rules. 50 euros hurts, but losing it didn't make me poor. I'm still rich in other ways. This was the first big international trip I took with my children, and I'm blessed to have had the opportunity. I hope you get to see your family again soon! Thanks for watching and for sharing.
Ha ha. I suppose if you've been to Paris several times, it could seem boring. We enjoyed our stay. I'd love to see Amsterdam. My daughter asked to visit Paris, and my son was excited to see it as well. It was their first big trip to Europe. They'd definitely love to visit other countries. We'll start saving for the next trip! I hope I can get by with English only in Amsterdam. I don't know a word of Dutch, though I'd be willing to learn some of the basics. My children enjoyed seeing some of the major sites in Paris, and we soaked up the history and local culture in less-visited sites as well.
No, I went to Paris once but I didn't like it that much. For Amsterdam, don't worry you'll definitely get by with English, a good number of people there speak more then one language. Here are other countries to visit with your beloved family, at least one or two should be in your bucket list: U.K , Spain, Italy , Belgium , Portugal , Switzerland , Austria , Romania, Mexico , Peru , Argentina , Egypt , Morroco , U.A.E , Qatar , Russia , Japan , Australia , New Zealand , and why not China. Sometimes, it seems exciting to go around the world!
I wish I didn't agree with you, but I'm inclined to believe this. It's fair since we need to follow the rules, but I truly feel they should do a better job of informing passengers and not rely on fines to introduce us to the rule.
I was married in Russia, and the marriage certificate lists me as "Lebedeva." However, here in the US, it's less complicated if my children and I have the same last name: Lebedev.
My name is Essam, and I follow you from Egypt. I want to say that you are truly the best teacher on the planet❤
Hello Essam. You're very kind. Thank you for choosing to study with me. Wishing you all the best!
I love your videos teacher! You are a awesome.

They just don’t care. I had the same feeling when visiting Madrid, Spain. American hospitality and kindness is not seen in Europe.

Hello mam
As we know gerund phrase working as noun .
So
can we use gerund phrase or gerund with Dummy subject "THERE" as noun.
As)--
1) -- THERE was [fighting in the class] .
2)-- THERE was [starting a new business] in town.
Is "THERE" word still "DUMMY subject" in those sentences ?
And what is the real subject in these sentences ?
I hope you help us .
A dummy subject is a placeholder. The real subject follows the linking verb.
Not all gerunds easily or logically function as subjects:
(correct) There was fighting.
(incorrect) There was starting. >> More natural: Someone started a new business/Someone set up a new business in town.
@@Englishwithjennifer
Nice question
So mam
in your example
Example --). "THERE" was fighting in the class.
In this sentence
What is real subject and
Is "THERE" word working as DUMMY subject or Adverb of place.

Hi beautiful 😘
It's a scam against the tourists
I wish I didn't agree with you, but I'm inclined to believe this. It's fair since we need to follow the rules, but I truly feel they should do a better job of informing passengers and not rely on fines to introduce us to the rule.
From your signature I can assume that you are married to a Russian man 😉
Once upon a time. :)
@@Englishwithjennifer more correct way of writing and speaking that would be "Lébedeva" with an -a at the end (feminine gender) 😊
I was married in Russia, and the marriage certificate lists me as "Lebedeva." However, here in the US, it's less complicated if my children and I have the same last name: Lebedev.
