My wonderful English teacher always told us:
"Will and would must never go
after if as we all know!"
I'll never forget him nor this memorable sentence!
Lisa, I've been a teacher for almost half a century, and I really highly appreciate your work and effort. I always recommend you to my students who usually treasure your videos. We are all grateful to you.
Thank you Neama, I always like hearing from other English teachers. : )
@@AccurateEnglish Thank you Lisa for such a insightul English lecture. I have been an English teacher too for some few years after i finished high school and i observed this is deeper than we have taught in the past. Keep the good work Lisa
Can you aswell take note that the eighth question was preseted wrongly. You wrote :I'm country instead of In my country. I hope others saw it too and it might be a typing error.
I used to tease my mother, I'd say "I seen Bill yesterday" and she's immediately say "I saw Bill yesterday!" Then I'd reply, "Oh you seen him too? He comed to the nursing home to see you?" Finally she'd realize what I was doing, smile at me and try to swat me! English can be a fun language…
I kept learning even I'm now 71 year old. I used to improve foreign languages (French, German and Mandarin) by myself after spending a short term from school. Your lessons have helped me a lot. I do appreciate very much for your effort!
Would you mind if I correct your English here? You meant to say:
I keep learning even though I'm now 71 years old . (In the past) I improved my fluency in several foreign languages (French, German and Mandarin) by myself after spending a short time away from school. Your lessons have helped me a lot. I do appreciate your effort very much!
@@snufflehound l am 56 years old,can l learn English ?l think it is too late to learn English
@@fy3928 Of course you can. Your English is already very good. I share your love for learning foreign languages. I am also 71 and have been studying Russian for about a year, just for fun. I spend about two hours a day at it. Progress always seems too slow, but progress is made, little by little. What is your native language?
Good things,when you know a new language,you will find something to you. Thank you for your sharing.
@@fy3928 it😛depends how much you want to do
I have studied the English Language and worked in English speaking environments for years, and find these lessons of great value. Excellent tutor!

You have studied English Language……. Not the English Language…. There is one English language

How do you answer these ? Where will I write the correct answer or error?
I am not a native speaker of English and got somehow attracted towards learning English. Later, after a long corporate career, took to teaching English. Your presentation is amazing. I am inspired by the term 'subjunctive' form that you described. Thanks Madam.
Dear me!?????
I'm English & I find English grammar difficult. I respect people from overseas learning English! X
I found a mistake on the screen, Ms. Lisa. The following sentences:
"I have six year old son. I have four year old daughter." should be changed to "I have a six-year-old son. I have a four-year-old daughter." Thanks, Ms. Lisa a lot for your interesting lessons! 👍👍👍 I can't wait to learn your next lessons.
I agree there should be an hyphen in cases like this
Exactly!
There is a typing mistake at around 8:00, example 8. Sorry. ☹️ It should be "In my country" not "I'm country." Does anyone know if I can edit that error without removing and re-posting my video?
you can add info card on the mistake to show correct form
It's 10:48
I enjoyed doing this quiz
I got it Don't worry it looks as a mistyped❤️💪
Hi its very knowledgeable thank you! may i know the name of the book you've mention on your video. Or where to buy. Thank you
Thank you very much for this amazing lesson online. Your advice is more precious than gold. If I had a teacher like you in Hong Kong, my English would have been much better.
I've been in the US almost 50 yrs, and I just learned NEW things in the language!!! Good video. Thanks.
I am an elderly with decent English conversation and I find your lessons absolutely enthralling, fascinating!!
Respected teacher, your explanation is excellent. Thank you very much.
She has excellent explanations. I agree.
@@myenglishteachermissgreene538 4AkQu aww eh it's
you make learning English full of fun and fascinating, stunning!!! an amazing teacher, thank you,Lisa.
I watch your 2 or 3 videos daily without fail. I want to tell you that if I could speak English fluently, you'll have a lion share. You are a ROLE MODEL for all who are craving for fluency in English.
I am a retired woman, studing foreign language is my passion, I found a lot knowledge your precious collections, I decided to follow your Chanel thanks❤

I'm a native english speaker, and I'm brushing up on my grammar rules because I don't want to rely on my instincts when writing and editing. This was incredibly helpful!
"Brush up" is new to me, a non-native speaker. Now I know it. Thank you so much！
Thanks so much madam, l did appreciated the lesson!
Hi olive I want to practice my english can u help me?
Hi beautiful 😍🤩😻
How are you doing
I have been studying grammar rules when i was in school many years ago but because native english speakers are different from the academic speakers i finally adopted the local conversation style.
Hi Lisa, I'm from London and I'm loving your channel because I'm a grammar wizard like you (getting close). When you teach us some grammar rules or even words which differ between British and US English, could you kindly highlight that for us whenever you remember, I just learned that 'afterwards' is 'afterward' and 'staff' is often accompanied by a singular verb in the US. That's only if you remember, I appreciate the fact that teachers do their best. Thank you
The quarantine got me here.
This teacher is world's best english teacher.
Agree '' like my my comment
As a linguist at a mid-Western college, I would highly recommend your channel for students of ESL. The content is clear and concise and focuses on the most common spoken errors of ESL students. Well done!!
Yes, but surely as a 'linguist' you recognise that what you teach depends on the level of English your ESL students possess.

@@mallikaperera28 ....I was addressing bach baroque. However, what does 'linguist meaning' mean?
There's so much to learn, wonderful teaching, Thank-you.
very useful
Awesome teaching
Welp, I was so convinced that it would still be a piece of cake for me yet here I was... immediately failing at all "suggest" sentences 😅
I gotta say it is an extremely tricky verb that I will definitely be looking out for in the future.
Thank you for this informative video :)
I am happy how you presented the sentences with the error then give us a chance to correct them
I still feel confused about using suggest.I will avoid using suggest as possible as I can.
Thank you for your lesson.
I suggest that “I gotta say” isn’t exactly grammatical! 😳
The best teacher in the world and her voice amazing
Thank you so much, Lisa! Your video helps me clearly understand some of the things I've been confused about.
SO happy to have found you. I am a medical language specialist and with the speech recognition software used, it’s mostly an editing job. My biggest problem is with comma usage, but that’s another discussion. My biggest two pet peeves in current American English are the incorrect uses of “different than,” and “less” rather than “fewer”. The use of less in describing numbers of, well, anything, just drives me nuts. And the fact that no one seems to use “different from” anymore, opting instead for “different than.” So bad! Just me on a Soap Box! Thanks for listening!! 😬
Thank for refreshing my English. God bless n protect you always.
I love to call it speech "wreck" because it is a wreck. I can type the entire report faster than editing due to all of the mistakes I find.
Hi beautiful 😍😻🥰
How are you doing
That's my problem, not so much using the wrong word, or incorrect spelling, but commas.
Honestly, I never realise all those sentences I say everyday is a mistake. No wonder my mum send me this video as a reminder. Excellent video by the way Lisa.
You got the digit in my list, I usually create a list of excellent teachers and now you’re one of them, glad to have a supremely gorgeous and talented English teacher, i welcome you in my favourite list.
Hi, I,m 87 years old, I live in Canada, I,m originally from Manchester, & take great pride in my Grammar, & I,m being honest ln saying I got all the answers to the questions or at least one of the alternatives correct, thank you for a very good lesson, it was very informative.
Thank you Leslie! 😄
Hello Leslie. I live in Esbjerg, Denmark although I'm from Burnley. I do hope that you are keeping safe and well during these strange times we are all living in.
Lisa, I'm so glad I found you. I've been in this country for 15 years and I still struggle with grammar. That means I need to practice more.
Thank you for these videos. I learned all of this sixty years ago, but gerunds, participles and subjunctives become grey if not considered actively.
Really impressed with this lesson. Clear and informative. Thank you.
Her teaching methodology is next level.
I positively encourage you to do more videos matching with this time we are in.
I am sending my heartfelt thanks from #Somali 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Nice compliment.
I have made these mistakes very often.
Now, I will practice it daily.
Thank you Lisa, your lessons are very precious
When you say pause the video and make your own sentences, very suddenlly i cry because i feel you. You're really an eloquent teacher. Thank you very much for this hepful lesson.
Lisa - you are an excellent teacher. Love to watch you more!
Thank you Lisa, I'm loking forward to listening to your classes again.
All of the examples are really well thought. I've been doing exactly these mistakes!
Thank you sooo much for your effort. 🥰
Especially for German English learners your explications are very important and helpful. Excellent is this: If you try to understand how mistakes come into being.
Perfect English! Thanks a lot, Lisa. I'm glad I managed to fix all the 11 grammar mistakes. Anyway, as a non-native speaker (from a Commonwealth country i.e. Malaysia) who speaks English as a second language, I added the British English equivalent to each of the sentences containing the word 'suggest/ed', e.g. 'I suggest that you should not be late any more.'
Lisa, you are an excellent teacher. I admire your lessons. Thank you.
Hello Tr. Lisa! I thank you more than I can say for your patient detailed explanation on commom mistakes.
Perfect teaching!
It would be a dream to find a channel as brilliant as your for Danish grammar!
I found these videos highly beneficial for conducting my physical and online English classes.
Thank you very much for bringing up this subject . It refreshed my memory.
Thank you. I learned so much. Even though i'm not a native, simply thinking about all the mistakes i made until now makes me feel embarassed.
Thanks you for your clear and precious explanation.
I could correct all your sentences but anyway I learned something new and very interesting concerning the verb "suggest", because you taught us several different possibilities of using it correctly.
Thank you very much for that.
Boy, after being out of school for 30 years the Business Grammar class that I took at the community college really helped.

👍👍👍

Dear teacher lisa your teaching is fantastic
I enjoyed (yes enjoyed) your lesson. It's so good that I even jotted down word by word painstakingly your whole lecture so as to refer to it as a way to reassure myself in future just in case. It's one of best presented lessons I have watched. You spoke very well (easy to listen and at proper speed) on top of being very clear and systematic. Although I consider myself sometimes as an advanced learner but I still learn from you lesson and understand the reasons behind the mistakes. Thanks.
I just found this channel and I fell in love with it. This teacher is amazing 😍
Thank you so much Ma'am i am new in your vlog watching from Philippines, i'm more excited to learn more in ENGLISH LANGUAGE. And i'm listening how you pronounce little by little every single words
When you say and i love it , GOD BLESS🙏 YOU.
My favorite teacher..
You're the best.
Gracias gracias and Thank you so much
This is a good reminder for the grammar and how we should keep practice. Thanks Lisa.
Lisa, as always you are a fantastic teacher, thank you so much!!!
Thank you Ma'am. I love the way you teach and I learned many things from you. I'll never get tired of learning from you by watching your videos. I have been teaching ESL for 5 years now and I am so happy that I have found your channel. Keep on teaching! God bless you
Hello Anna
How are you doing?
That was a great lesson Lisa. Thank you so much.
I think your mission is noble.
I am so glad I found your channel.
Anytime we can improve our vocabulary, and how to use it properly, we benefit ourselves and those around us.
Keep up this wonderful work.
Hi! Lisa,Thanks for producing this helpful video.
However,seems like there could have been a typo error in Sentence 8. You said ‘In my country,...’,but the first few words that appeared is ‘I’m my country’,which means ‘I am my country’.
I realised that when I typed ‘In my country’ the first time,the word ‘In’ was automatically changed to ‘I’m’ and I had to manually retype ‘In’ again.
Just in case you didn’t take note of the typo error,so I am giving you feedback here and now.
In addition,I would like to point out that there are some differences (esp. spelling of some words) between the UK English Language standards and the US English Language standards.
Take care,all. God bless and protect all. Amen.
In my country means that you're going to describe something that occurs in your country when you finish your sentence. In my country, we experience four seasons of the year, or in my country, you are eligible to vote when you are 18 years old.
“In my country “,when I heard your saying.
Hi,Andricia khor ,thank you for your comments. It is very helpful.
Thank you for sharing this basic grammar corrections. I am a Filipino and was fortunate to study in a school using English as a medium of instruction and they can be quite unforgiving to student's with grammatical errors. It's been so long that whenever I encounter people speaking in English and commiting grammatical errors, I usually have doubts whether I was wrong with my grammar and they're right. However, most often than not; I'd think that the system of education have drastically degraded through the years. Coming across your channel in youtube gives me a glimmer of hope that our young generation of today has a fighter chance. To some people, this may be a small issue, however; for me, it's not just the error. It's all about doing it right. As one teacher of mine said, "If you are to use a foreign language to communicate, the best way to respect it, would be to clearly speak with the right pronounciation, diction and a sufficient vocabulary. Thanks again. This time I know where to go when having doubts.

Thank you! 😄
Thank you, this is an excellent English grammar tutorial that has shed some light on the confusion that has been a long time coming. I ordered both of the grammar books you recommended and cannot wait to improve my grammar.
Instead of just knowing that after the expression "look forward to" the verb should be in the 'ing' form, I think it's important to also know that 'to' is a preposition, and thus any verb that follows such expressions should be in the 'ing' form.
Also, it's helpful to make a comparison with when the particle 'to' does NOT work as preposition but, instead, as an indicator of the infinitive form of a verb, which is the case with expressions such as "need to", "have to", "want to", "like to", "try to", "help to", etc.
There's a simple trick to tell the difference. If we use a noun after 'to' and the sentence makes clear sense, then 'to' is working as a preposition, and thus any verb that follows such expression needs to be in the ‘ing’ form. Otherwise, 'to' is an indicator of the infinitive, i.e., I need to go now. They want to play outside. We'll have to work harder. He tried to convince them. In such case, a noun after 'to' won't make proper sense. (-I need to pencil now. They want to jacket outside. We'll have to potato harder. He tried to fishing rod.-)
*restrict to*
The benefit is restricted to the elderly. (elderly = noun) ∴ This fund is *restricted to assisting* the elderly.
*dedicate to*
I'll dedicate more time to my studies. (studies = noun) ∴ I'll *dedicate* more time *to studying*.
*respond to
*
The patient responded very well to the treatment. (treatment = noun) ∴ How should one *respond
to being* corrected in public?
*assign to*
Two agents were assigned to a new mission. (mission = noun) ∴ They were *assigned to investigating* the XYZ case.
*key to*
Discipline is key to success. (success = noun) ∴ Talent is *key to being* a good singer.
*steps to*
Important steps to happiness. (happiness = noun) Five *steps to becoming* fluent in a foreign language.
Once we understand the difference between 'to' as a preposition and 'to' as indicator of the infinitive form, we shouldn’t have any problems with expressions such as “used to” and “be/get used to”.
They used to surf when they lived in Hawaii. (surf = verb)
They are used to big waves. (waves = noun) ∴ They *are used to surfing* big waves.

If I had learnt these from you earlier, I wouldn't have made such mistakes repeatedly in the past, so I suggest practising them more often from now on.

Thank you, Lisa, and I'm celebrating myself for having found all the mistakes. Yay!

* long time since
Yes, I used to read English aloud when I was a student in Hong Kong. Thank you for your great advice.
You are welcome!
I don't know if it is because I was raised in New England, Connecticut, and Massachusetts to be exact, but I have been grateful for having had good English teachers. I am sharing these sentences with my sister, niece, and nephew. There were at least two typos besides missing spaces after most of the numbers such as 1.This ... One of the typos was using I'm instead of In in the eat rice question. I forget what the other one was. I was right on with each sentence but it annoyed me that what to me were needed hyphens were not included, something which I see in a lot (why do so many spell it "alot") of reviews. If I had a son who was seven, I would have a seven-year-old son. I do not rent a one bedroom apartment; I rent a one-bedroom apartment. I found the exercise very helpful in teaching people how to properly word sentences. Lisa's enunciation was excellent and she did not talk down to those who have trouble with their language.

While I have forgotten the names of these rules, as a grammar Natzi, I knew immediately noticed the grammatical errors. I try to hold back from correcting other bloggers, but not always.
Maybe use spell-check and grammar-check! " Natzi" is spelled Nazi. "I knew immediately noticed..." (Someone check my punctuation, I'm too tired to look it up!) Perhaps you were joking to make a point?

English can also be referred to a nationality i.e. England.
sumit kumar dash Both are correct, but context is important. For example, a science teacher could be from England and be called an English teacher based on his/her nationality. If you’re in an English-speaking country then English teacher would refer to the subject of English.
