      Mam, "have" is a stative verb, we don't use it on a sentence which is present continuous. But at the end of this video, you gave an example "I am having breakfast", could you please give more clarification on that.

    Rebecca is one of the best English teachers I have ever come across. Her accent ,for a teacher, is second to none - it's so sweet and clear. The pace she adopts is what learners really need. She looks decent too. Moreover, her body language ( posture, eye contact, facial expressions and gestures) is perfect. I also find her voice quite appealing and engaging.
    Being a teacher of English myself, I strongly advice
    learners of English to subscribe and commit to her lessons.

    Rebecca, you're a lovely teacher with an amazing hand writing.

    • @PaleMist
      @PaleMist Před 2 lety +8

      Nice complement, but for the sake of English learning, "writing" is an uncountable noun aka mass noun aka measurable noun, as such "writing" cannot receive the indefinite articles "a" or "an" therefore "an amazing hand writing" is incorrect; the way to write that sentence would be "Rebecca, you're a lovely teacher with amazing handwriting.". And also, "hand writing" is not the same as "handwriting": "hand writing" is a construct for clausal subjects e.g. "A hand writing something is an ancient practice." whereas "handwriting" refers to one's particular method of writing on paper e.g. "His handwriting is very good.".
      Other than those two things, you did well. Keep up the English learning!

    Hello dear teacher Robeca, Your lessons, your narration is very valuable and instructive. I am sure that those who watch your lessons learn a lot. Your posture, seriousness, and true teaching personality are also much more important and necessary. I hope you always continue as such and as a developer. I sincerely thank you. I wish you success and happiness.

    Your lesson is extremely comprehensive. I like your tone, body language and organizational skills. I have only one question: How can we remember the conditions of each tense to make proper use of each tense while written and verbal communication?

      Have you seen German grammar? There are also cases and genders in it. English is like playing in a simple mode after German.
      So what I was trying to say, don't be afraid of English 😆

    Hi Rebecca, I can't explain how much you are helping me to improve my English. I don't know how you do it because I don't only learn but I also enjoy your lessons. I'm sure if I continue this, I will be able to communicate with my kids in no time. Sometimes they laugh at my grammar. They speak only English and I speak Dutch and a little English. That's my problem. But many many thanks from The Netherlands.
