Jennifer is a flower which spreads it's fragrance every time she shares a video. A fragrance that soothes our senses and takes us on an awesome journey of language learning. Jennifer is like a shady tree which helps learners to relax under it's shade and calms their anxieties. Thanks Jennifer for being terribly generous!

Hello Jennifer! Nice to see you! Thanks a lot for the lesson! My first step in learning this topic is to master the pronunciation of these words:) I mean these new notions.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Thanks for watching the lesson. 😃 Yes, any new vocabulary requires a few things: what the words mean, how to say them, how to write the, and then how to use them.

[@sergeipetrov5572]

@@Englishwithjennifer Thank you again! How to use them, I'll leave that for the future:)

[@raed2178]

You don't know how much I am happy watching this video. Thanks to you, I already recognize many more language devises included in today's video from your previous videos. Thanks a lot, Jennifer. ❤️🌹 P.s. there's a typo in the script in 7:11 (2ndm)

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hi Ra'ed. Since you've been wonderfully consistent keeping up with my lessons, I know you're familiar with parallel structure, hyperbole, idioms, homophones, and likely a few others. I decided to put them all together and add a few more in a comprehensive lesson. Another viewer had asked about oxymorons, so it was a good time to do this. Thanks for catching the typo! I deleted the extra "m." That key is next to the comma, so I hit the "m" by mistake. There's one other small mistake in the video that I can't change anymore, but oh well. If that's the only one, I'm quite pleased. It's hard to proofread my own text. By the way, it's a missing comma in a form of address. Maybe you'll see it now in one of the movie clips.

[@raed2178]

Hi Susan. Glad you finally got to learn all of these. You'll be more aware of them now when you read or watch something. :) Take care. Maybe you'll consider Patreaon at some point.

That was a very informative lesson. It was also fun with all those film clips included. Figurative speech is such a vast and enlightening topic. Books could be written on every single literary device mentioned. I personally have a book all about idioms.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Glad you enjoyed it! The list of idioms in particular seems endless. It's fun to explore the other literary devices, too.

[@vikas-ro3ik]

The train was late for fifty minutes. or The train was late by fifty minutes. Which one is correct? Please tell me ❤️

[@Englishwithjennifer]

I'd say, "The train was fifty minutes late." It's similar to saying the child is five years old. (number + measurement + adjective)

[@vikas-ro3ik]

@@Englishwithjennifer but in my book for sentence improvement it's saying that the train was late by fifty minutes 🤔 instead of using for minutes🤷

[@Englishwithjennifer]

The pattern with "by" will be understood, but I'd like to teach you a more common one. www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/late You can also Google "late by fifty minutes," and you'll get about 195 results. In contrast, when you Google "fifty minutes late," you'll get over 30 thousand results.

[@ArunGoyal2007]

My writing: Baby pigeon story . Today in the morning, i emerged from the bathroom, and who should greet me, perched defiantly on the balcony railing. It was the erstwhile about to die baby pigeon.. Not shy at all, as i closed up on him, it said, up yours, and flew into the neighbouring tree where it amourously necked with a fellow pigeon. "How shameless", I muttered, "no respect to the elderly." Moral of the story .. Let the birds be, they will find their way.. They don't need your unsolicited sympathy and love. This we put out their daily feed of मक्का and बाजरा in the balcony.. Which they share with the squirrels and other small and big organisms.. And that's it. Have a good day as i go to a zoom call. 🤠🤠 Above is the end of the story of our attempt to save a baby pigeon from the visiting cat. It was trapped in my balcony facing the road side. Three days ago, the pigeon was too weak to fly and had lost its confidence.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Thank you for sharing, Arun. How shameless, indeed! I like to watch little birds at my bird feeder. I get angry when larger bird dominate and eat all the food. How is the baby pigeon today?
