Thank you Gideon. It’s a delight watching and learning English from your videos. You are a real impact on learners like me.😊
That's so kind of you to say, thanks
Thank you Gideon. As for both uses of "as such" see the Italian "in quanto tale".
Good to know...
I admire your ability to explain anything pleasantly, precisely and with great clarity. With regard to peanut butter sandwich variations, there are better alternatives, such as sprinkling a quarter cup of raisins on top, or spreading on a layer of strawberry preserves. Or both! I really like your videos, and find your voice strangely relaxing. I'm beginning to wonder if a form of hypnosis is being surreptitiously practiced.
Thanks for sandwich tips. Yes, definitely hypnosis so beware.
Thanks for these rich and useful lessons.
Happy to be the first commentator.
My pleasure
You're the best teacher in the world and as such you create the best videos for learning English 😍😍😍😍😍
🤗I write from Italy,and i learn grammar ecc,. More clear ,thanks for the professional lessons
Thanks, Gideon! I learn something new from you each time.
Thanks Gideon, loved the examples!! ❤
Great as always, thanks a million !
I'm Max, Italian. I've tried over a dozen teachers of English; Gideon has all the human and professional characteristics to be called 'one of the best teachers around'.
Gideon, you are an excellent teacher.
Thank you. It is really useful.
Such a great teacher on youtube❤
Thanks for the great comment.
oh ! English is a huge fun .
Thank you for your efforts
Gideon! Thank to this video I realised that "as such" and "such as" are similar to "como tal" and "tal como" in Spanish.
Very useful, thanks
Hello dear Gideon, I admire your work so much about the lessons you teach us about the English language. You deserve an honour for that. You are not just a smart teacher but you also know everything about English! But why don't you make a video about Shakespeare? I would appreciate that.
Hi there Gideon
Watching your videos is such a pleasure as a such
I don't know wheter that was English but I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Thanks.
Great lesson Sir G ; love the music .❤
thanks heaps ! your videos are always interesting and as such, very useful.
Very nice video as usual, I've learned a few nuances I didn't quite get before. Questions: 1/ is the first meaning of "as such" more or less interchangeable with "per se"? (and if not, how do they differ?) and 2/ can the second meaning of "as such" be replaced by "for this reason" or "which means"? (it sounds right to me in your examples, but I'd rather make sure). Thanks for your help and please keep up the good work.
Hi Gideon, many tks for the video. I enjoyed watching it and listening perfect accent with clear and precise explanations.
I look fwd to watching you soon.
You are a gd teacher as such, we have to listen to yo, thank you very much, gratings from a Mexican person living in Japan, such as a mystic,country, gracias, señor, arigato mercy bocup….adios…
Your videoes are always spot on. Meaningfully presented. Salute from Latvia!
Excellent as usual, and as such I subscribed as soon as I finished watching the video as I I thought I could learn interesting stuff such as litotes and such advanced phrases and expressions. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for such a good class. As such would be what we say in informal Spanish "como tal"
Thanks
Love it, thank you Gideon 😊, I might’ve been talking reasonably good English for the better part of 30 years now, however extra refinements such as the ones presented in this video are more than welcome
Exactly the same as me.
Great video! There's one phrase/expression with 'such' that always gives me a headache: 'such that'. After years of speaking English i still havent figured out the difference between 'such that' and 'so that' (if there's any) 😅
they are different use "such that" to talk about the seriousness of a condition you mentioned before. "the number of comments is such that I can't answer them all"...it's quite formal.
And if I may add, "so that" is usually used in the middle of a sentence to indicate that the task or process that comes before is either a requirement of the thing that is mentioned afterwards, or it helps us accomplish whatever is mentioned next in the sentence.
For example, you could say "I cleaned all day long _so that_ the house would look nice for the dinner party tonight." The task of cleaning helps us accomplish the goal of making the house look nice. "I did something _so that_ another thing can happen." "I took an earlier train so that I could arrive on time."
It might be a little confusing, but you can sometimes use "so that" at the beginning of a sentence and it tends to reverse the order of what is required. "So that the house will look nice, I cleaned all day long."
We love learning English with Brits such as Gideon and his cousin Tarquin!! 😂
I hope Tarquin is doing well, wherever he is
I love positive, humorous comments such as this one. Tarquin is fine. Thanks
Your videos are always full of contents and as such they are so useful . Thanks!😊
A perfect example. Thanks
Hi Gideon, very interesting, thank you for the clarity of your explanations, I have the ability to understand content with "as such and such as" but i won't use it spontaneously,it shows me the topics i must work on to improve.Those expressions sound gréât in English.best regards.Sergefrom France.
It cleared up my long awaited question. Thank you! Is the second meaning a relatively new usage of as such?
I appreciate the way you explain various topics, such as grammar and vocabulary; for example, this lesson is both engaging and effective. As such, I would love to participate in your classes if I were to relocate to Paris.
You give a perfect such as-as such sentence. Congratulations. See you in Paris soon, I hope.
Hi, Gideon. This was great. I learn a lot from your videos. Greetings from Colombia. I have a question, I hope you can give me an answer. This isn't related to this topic, but I usually watch videos of people speaking naturally and I have noticed that sometimes they pronounce the R sounf like the one we use in Spanish, for example they say something like "get up" and they say it like "gerrrrrrrrrup" putting emphasis on that R and they don't say it with a flap. I don't know it that make sense to you. Thanks in advance
I'm not as such writer but I try to keep a diary just for fun.
@LetThemTalkTV Great teaching, thanks! - Have you done something on the conjunctive use of ‚like‘, or will you? I‘d really love to hear about that one from an expert. I teach English as a second language and I‘ve come to accept phrases like (😅) ‚The president behaves like he were a little child‘, even in writing, originally marking it down as a register or lexical mistake and demanding students use ‚as if‘ instead of ‚like‘ (which is what I was taught decades ago). Searching for competent sources I‘ve found the Webster (online) arguing that conjunctive use of ‚like‘ has been firmly established over centuries while people seem to have reservations if educated to use British English. What advice should I give?
I‘d like that as well!
Using _like_ as a synonym of _such as_ is actually very common in spoken English.
Is such as different than ie or that is?
An interesting video, thanks. I already knew all the stuff, but I don't use at about half of that=(
good to practise it anyway.. Thanks
Really enlightening examples, another one in my learning, thanks to you Gideon. I'm thinking about gherkin with Nutella, I think it's not such a bad mix🥒🌰
You won't be disappointed. Glad the like the video (and the sandwich)
can we replace "and as such" by "and because of it" ?
Sir, How to describe this kind of situation?
Suppose there was a party last night but i and a friend of mine didn't go to the party and now we're talking about another friend of ours and guessing but we're not sure about whether he went or not we're just guessing
1) If he went to the party he must have enjoyed
2) If he would have gone to party he must have enjoyed
Now first one makes me feel that how could i use past simple when I'm not sure or have no idea about him going or not and on the other hand i feel second one is okay but because we're speculating but i read we should never use would have + v3 because it's third conditional. Then how do i express or describe situation? 🙏
As such? It's new for me 😮.
In the last examples, I would use therefore instead of as such. Is that wrong?
it might work but it doesn't quite have the same meaning.
@Blastboy I also use ‘therefore’ and ‘so’ in the last examples. “As such” sounds too formal to my ears
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Gideon you ought to give us a lesson about how to use the world ought to as you promised us last year but instead you came up with such as and as such.
Are you having a turkish pal ? 😂😉
Why not so instead of as such?
Not to confuse the issue, but how you say a thing depends on what you want the listener to hear. To use the example from the video, "I'm the boss, and as such, what I say goes." Perfectly fine. But kind of low-energy.
Suppose the boss was having an argument with one of her workers, she could say, "I'm the boss, and because I'm the boss, what I say goes." The phrase is repeated on purpose because you're making it very clear, and emphasizing the point that You Are The Boss.
Plenty of good English sentences break one of your rules-this one, for example.
I am neutral and not a native speaker so I might be wrong, but in your sentence I see an implied verb: "- for example this one breaks the rule"
I’m the one who cleans the house and as such, I would like that everyone takes off their shoes when getting home.
First
Vegan meat is not meat 'at all' 😊😅
Who cares? It tastes good and you don't have to kill for it.
Indeed.
Yet sometimes it does taste better 🤷🏻♀️
@@OceanChild75 There are brands that taste the same or better.
@@ordinarryalien I was agreeing with you mate haha X
Your texts have some mistakes because of auto speech writing ...
