Mr Rupert thanks for the lesson my dear . I have listened to your explanation on the difference between ask and ask for ,but I have a question for you on the same. Do these two sentences mean the same thing given the explanation you have given us on how the two are used ? 1. He ASKED permission to leave the room . 2.He ASKED FOR permission to leave the room . I will be happy to hear from you. Thank you.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi! This is an exception. Although "ask for permission" would still be the standard way of writing this, "ask permission" is also allowable with no meaning change.

I advised her to take advanced English classes with Rupert on KZbin. The teacher gave me some good advice. This lesson was as interesting as the students extremely impressed. This lesson was so interesting that the students were very impressed. It's amazing and interesting every lesson I like it very much.❤️😊🙏

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Thanks so much!!! Great sentences!! Just one alteration - after "as interesting as", use a noun phrase rather than a clause. Perhaps: "This lesson was as interesting as the previous lesson". (noun phrase + verb + "as" + adj + "as" + noun phrase).

Thank you for your advice.❤😊🙏

... hello teacher! ... (no criticism intended) ... your sentence "The reason why the roads were closed was due to the visit of the king" seems to combine redundantly "reason" and "due to" ... the same could be phrased "The roads were closed due to the visit..." and/or "The reason why the roads were closed was the visit..." ... to me the ""reason" appears incompatible with the "due to" ... am I just wrong or terribly wrong? ...

Hi Vladimir! You are right - it would definitely be more economical in terms of language to use your two alternatives. My aim was to present a grammatical possibility, but it is certainly not the only one. Thanks for raising this point!

1)If you see a fire, pour water over it. Can I use 'On', 'Upon' and 'Onto' instead of using 'Over'?(Pour water on/upon/onto it.) 2) The mountain stood above the valley. I think if I use 'On'(on the valley), it's incorrect.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

1) "onto" would be fine, but "upon" doesn't quite mean "covering something", so I wouldn't use that. 2) You are right - we wouldn't use "on"
