There is no any excuse for my pause; I appreciate you for this video. Significantly important examples of correct usage dozens of prepositions! Thank you Greg. And stay healthy, three of you.
you are making a great job on this channel, I start learning english too much better after I met you, like you're a life savior, thank you very much for your work!
Finally! Now I know the difference between "day dreams" and 'night dreams" in english. In polish we have two different words to distinguish it :) Thanks :)
Hi. Can I use the infinitive past instead of using "of"? example:he was suspected to have killed his neighbor. he was suspected of killing his neighbor.
According to your last short video, you asked to chose the right sentence: Think of me or Think about me, I answered think about me, but i know that think of me is also correct, unfortunately i didn't write it, thank you very much teacher Greg for the clarity of this presentation 👍
"I thought of you because of your upcoming birthday, and I was wondering what to buy you for special day." "think of" sounds perfectly correct to me in this example. I. e., in the sense of conscientiously remembering somebody for one reason or another.
My students regularly write, "Jane spoke ON her feelings". It has become a pet peeve of mine since it SOUNDS incorrect to me. I would write, "Jane spoke ABOUT her feelings". Am I wrong?
Hi Greg thanks for the great video. I read many books by classical British authors and many times they use the word about like this: move about, hang about, walk about. And it is not the meaning of on something. Can you elaborate a little bit about this? Thanks!
(Disclaimer: USAmerican English speaker here.) 'About' can also be used to mean something akin to "around" or "near to"... Although, it tends to be a bit more archaic and/or reserved for more stylized speaking/writing when used I'm that way.
Sir please make a video on full uses of can because it is really complicated And i know when you teach this topic, there will be no room for doubt plz make
How we gat meaning when collacation comes? I think we should get meaning as usual but sentence becomes advance structure. Ex - I think of going there - I'll go there I am interested in applying the job - I'm excited now to apply the job I am afraid of working here - i'm scared So it's just the things we usually get meaning i mean when collocation comes we should get meaning like we normally get but sentence structure only becomes advanced like ing form comes after preposition. Am i correct sir?
Please explain. Which way is correct, better or more often used in regular conversations. 1. He is twice her age. = she is half his age. 2. She is twice as young (as he is) 3. She is twice younger than him Thank you.
Number 1 is the most common. Number 2 isn't as common but also isn't wrong (you're more likely to hear "twice as" used when multiplying rather than dividing...Such as 'she is twice as old') Number 3 sounds very unnatural though I can't think of why exactly. 😅
It's mostly a greeting. A more casual version of "How are you?" Note: People could be genuinely inquiring about your state of being OR, more likely, they just mean "Hello".
At least in USAmerican english... They can either be used interchangeably... OR wait on can be also used to describe a waiter/server at a restaurant providing service to the restaurant's patrons. "Please, wait on table 9." "The person who waited on us at the restaurant was so nice."
Listen can be used without a preposition well outside imperative phrases. - Hello, I've got a question. - Yes, I'm listening. I tried warning Jeff, but he just wouldn't listen!
@Sam Forrest To be honest, my goal after the summer is to eventually do one a week... but I'm not willing to reduce the quality to do so. Anyway, just so you know... it's my plan to do so ;-)
I found ur videos some days ago... I should have found your channel before my interviews 😭😭😭shit... Now I am realising... What stupid mistakes I made....
"We forgot about the time when we went fishing together." What does this imply? Does it imply that we didn't realize the time or we forgot the event of going fishing ?
This is a tricky one. It could be either based on context in the conversation as a whole or even where the stress is applied when speaking aloud. "We forgot about the TIME when we went fishing." VS "We forgot about the time when we went FISHING."
"Consists in" is not exactly wrong that context but it does sound a little awkward. Most people would probably use 'of' here. (USAmerican english here. Double with a Brit if that carries across most British dialects.)
Leave a comment using one of the prepositions from today's lesson! 😀

Thank you Greg for your excellent English lessons

You made lots of people great in speaking English ; just simple and easy.
You never stop learning about this topic, really important, thanks a lot for bringing it up, Greg 🙏

@@jenjabba6210 and we have no articles :))
@@FrykaS. PERFECT!
I love watching your videos... they help me keep my English sharp.
I have always thought that in 'allow to do smth' TO is a part of an infinitive, like allow+to verb. I didn't expect To is a preposition
You're right, Greg is mistaken
Hi.
Can I use the infinitive past instead of using "of"?
example:he was suspected to have killed his neighbor.
he was suspected of killing his neighbor.
This is absolutely great stuff!!
Great lesson Greg well done "but 'what about" in sentence; sorry about. For example sorry about that or sorry about your loss ...
Huge fan from Pakistan
Hi Greg🤗,great, thanks for this lesson!!
I apparently am sure that l use the adverb ( apparently) in a wrong fashion. Would you please make a video about it.
Splendid lessons. I love the way you teach. Thank you.😊❤
10:30
I heard someone saying "suspect about", it it right too?
My favourite teacher, I love you Greg!!!!
Keeeeep going
According to your last short video, you asked to chose the right sentence: Think of me or Think about me,
I answered think about me, but i know that think of me is also correct, unfortunately i didn't write it, thank you very much teacher Greg for the clarity of this presentation 👍
thx
Hello Greg, Can you please make a video of when we have to use "be" and "being"
"I thought of you because of your upcoming birthday, and I was wondering what to buy you for special day."
"think of" sounds perfectly correct to me in this example. I. e., in the sense of conscientiously remembering somebody for one reason or another.
Hi Greg, thank you very much for the great work, you've really helped me during my learning journey. Good wishes❤❤❤❤
hands down, you're the best!
you teach great, Greg.
Excellent class my dear!!! 🐼🐻
Thank you Greg. I understand very well
Thank you.
My students regularly write, "Jane spoke ON her feelings". It has become a pet peeve of mine since it SOUNDS incorrect to me. I would write, "Jane spoke ABOUT her feelings". Am I wrong?
this actually looked informative at first, i havent watched whole playlist yet
You are great, Greg 👍♥️
Thanks you Greg!
Sir, please make a video on 'above vs over'.
I have found a video on this topic of you. Thanks a billion.
Useful topic!
Thank you
Thank you for the useful lesson.:)
It happened me a lot! Thank you
Woww.. That's a wonderful way of teaching. Thanks
it's really usefull topic, thanks Greg!

Thank you for your precious lesson. I very like your great accent. I always listens to you with true pleasant. Have a nice day ;)
Great video as usual
Greetings 👋 Greg, Thanks your prepositons video
Amazing vídeo
Hello Greg. I love your accent. Many Thanks for your support, on these videos. 🤩👌
Just great !
Sir please make a video on full uses of can because it is really complicated And i know when you teach this topic, there will be no room for doubt plz make
Great lesson Greg! but the sound wasn't as clear as your usual standard. Maybe your clip on microphone wasn't connected properly this time?
Thanks, Peter! You're right! I will look into this for next time :-)
More clear water. Thank you😊
Thank you Greg. For the expression "waiting for", I usually hear ppl from the states say "waiting on you". Am guessing that's American
'To wait on smb'has a different meaning. It means to serve smb at a cafe/ restaurant
How we gat meaning when collacation comes? I think we should get meaning as usual but sentence becomes advance structure.
Ex - I think of going there - I'll go there
I am interested in applying the job - I'm excited now to apply the job

Am i correct sir?
Thank you 😊
very interesting
Hi Greg
Thinks a lots for the interesting vido.
The best regards for you from me
Amazing 👏
Your channel is underrated
Thank you very much sir ❤️

Wow! I am searching this video for a long time
Your lessons has changed my grammar
Waiting for your next lesson impatiently Greg
God is Greg😂🧡thanks a lot for your work!
🙏🏼
May I know if that’s correct? She gets good marks on the test ? Or should we use in?
On is correct here
Hi Greg, pls can you explain the meaning of " What's up" .
It's mostly a greeting. A more casual version of "How are you?"
Note: People could be genuinely inquiring about your state of being OR, more likely, they just mean "Hello".
Great video.
How i will get the e book which u mentioned n e work sheet. Please tell me
Is there a difference between waiting for and waiting on somebody?
At least in USAmerican english... They can either be used interchangeably... OR wait on can be also used to describe a waiter/server at a restaurant providing service to the restaurant's patrons.
"Please, wait on table 9."
"The person who waited on us at the restaurant was so nice."
It's really crucial for me. Now I can get an idea about this thanks to you ♥️😊
This is a bit off topic but you have such a rare shade of grey eyes! Damn I wish I had those lol
Welcom back dear Greg, I was
Missing you! Beso
Can we use “always” in past tense? Your e.g. He always dreamt of becoming a rockstar.
Yes. You can
... super lesson ... . * * * * * * * .
Listen can be used without a preposition well outside imperative phrases.
- Hello, I've got a question.

I tried warning Jeff, but he just wouldn't listen!

"I've been waiting AT the table for the last 45 years", said Mr.Stevens senior on the movie "The remains of the day"
Think of me or think about me have subtle differences, but neither is the wrong choice. English is flexible.
12 days ， we need your new class
😄 I’m doing one every three weeks for the summer holidays and then back to one every two weeks from September. Everyone needs a little break 😇
@@EnglishWithGreg haha,but some teachers doing more and they have huge amount of fans.
@Sam Forrest To be honest, my goal after the summer is to eventually do one a week... but I'm not willing to reduce the quality to do so. Anyway, just so you know... it's my plan to do so ;-)
Why would like to borrow sun cream from some body's wife? Lol
I’d definitely add “congratulate on” which surprised me recently. That preposition makes absolutely no sense for me, at least 😊
I found ur videos some days ago... I should have found your channel before my interviews 😭😭😭shit... Now I am realising... What stupid mistakes I made....
"We forgot about the time when we went fishing together." What does this imply?
Does it imply that we didn't realize the time or we forgot the event of going fishing ?
Time.
This is a tricky one. It could be either based on context in the conversation as a whole or even where the stress is applied when speaking aloud.
"We forgot about the TIME when we went fishing."
VS
"We forgot about the time when we went FISHING."
1:48 can we say something along... her crime consists in stealing the last biscuit?
"Consists in" is not exactly wrong that context but it does sound a little awkward. Most people would probably use 'of' here. (USAmerican english here. Double with a Brit if that carries across most British dialects.)
The reason I know how to use those prepositions is because I love reading and watching English movies.lol
I assume that this video is all about the usage of prepositions in general. At least just explain or give a techniques on how to use the said words
No emails in the spam
I think of you and me married forever and ever. I think about it every day.
My nightmare!!

And no 'wait on'? I'm dissapointed.
Have you heard about B.O.? He's not what he seems to be!
Luxury channel
Why... i am dying for a cup of something and not.. i die/ ging to die for something else. ....
It would be very nice to answer...any native...
We can use it for other things, such as, I’m dying to see the new Peaky Blinders series, I’m dying to meet you, I’m dying for a beer.
I heard Americans say “wait on”
