5 English grammar myths you need to stop believing RIGHT NOW

[@oskarumesh2394]

A very good video , sir. I have been reading english novels for more than ten years now ; I have stumbled across many examples like this where general rules had been broken . Unfortunately these things are not taught by teachers in schools or in private english classes because the knowledge of teachers is also very limited regarding these things . Finally students become more confused when they see these things in old english novels not knowing what is right what is wrong. Learning English is a journey. You have to do so many things to realise the real style of the language.

I got a 6th one Never assume native speakers know about grammar. Some of the most embarrassing mistakes I've heard grammar-wise come from Native English Speakers. There's a big difference between speaking a language and studying a language...

[@albiss1164]

That's so true! When watching tv I sometimes hear things that make me think something is wrong in the way it was said (I'm learning English prioritizing grammar). The worst would almost always come from Afro-Americans. They mostly speak a very bad English! =/

One word .. An excellent teacher..

[@laeternidad4140]

Hi, teacher. Definitely, you're great! In fact, you're the only teacher who have(?) talked about this very particular and unknown grammar subject, which is interesting and necessary when writing, especially. *And* no one else has talked about these myths before, so it makes you unique, as usual. Congratulations and thank you very much. All the best!

[@natriumguy8537]

I read in one book that you shouldn't use preposition at the end of sentences. Thank you Alex for breaking the myth.

Hello teacher Alex, welcome back, nice lesson, " the rules are just guidelines" , salutes from Mexico.

[@engvidAlex]

I'm glad you liked the lesson, Daniel! Thanks for checking it out. And yes, in these cases, the rules are indeed guidelines. :)

Great work, Alex, thank you a lot!

[@antoniovittorio4686]

Hello Alex🙂, you have just made here one a the greatest video I have ever seen about English grammar. I really like those who rightly dare to break the so-called rules that are supposed to govern a language. Thank you a lot for this unparralelled lesson 👌 Antonio

Hello Alex, could you please make a lesson on compass I don't understand when people use idioms like his life went south after he quit his job. I'd be glad if you can help with it

[@lucasnathanoliveira6373]

I really enjoyed this lesson. Better, this lesson enjoyed me. Thank you

[@engvidAlex]

My pleasure! Although I have to say, you can't really say "This lesson enjoyed me." :) Are you trying to use the passive voice? If so, you can say "This lesson was enjoyed by me." But it sounds much more natural just to say "I enjoyed this lesson." Anyway, thanks for checking it out!

What a lovely lesson) I've thought of it all the time

[@johna6436]

Hi Alex! Thanks a lot for all your lessons. They're very useful and helpful. I was wandering if you could make a lesson on weather forecast. Not just "how to talk about the weather" or "what words you should use to describe the weather". Real weather forecast I mean from the real radio that you Americans listen to in your daily life (all the expressions and words). The thing is that I still feel rather uncomfortable listening to something related to this area and I don't know exactly where to learn this kind of information. There are lots of different "textbook" expressions and words but they are kind of different from those ones the speakers use on the radio. Thank you in advance!

[@siavashkhazali5842]

Double negative and split infinitive should not be used in formal writing. In the vernacular , those are all negligible.

[@antoniorodrigues1345]

Hey Alex How are you? I'd like you to correct me If I'm wrong Is that phrase correct ? ( I did everything I COULD TO help him give up smoking,but he failed to do so) in Brazilian portuguese would be( Eu fiz tudo que eu PUDE PARA ajudá-lo a deixar de fumar,mas ele não conseguiu.( Nem tentou). Thanks for the class and keep It up.

Thank you for the video. But the quote 'Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance - these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils' isn't from KJB, it's Isaiah Berlin's quote.

The good thing about you is that you talk at normal speed not slow like some teachers

Hi Tawfeeq, I try to use my natural speaking speed as much as possible, but I do slow down in many of my beginner videos.

[@engvidAlex]

@@teacherdilo Yeah, but I'm sure they'll find a way to resurrect it somewhere else. If not, I'm perfectly happy with the 3 seasons they were able to make. Daredevil has been my favourite superhero for a long time, and I was so happy to see that the creators of the Netflix series took the material seriously.

A "good" double negative case can be: I can't leave my child nothing (when I die).

Good example!

I am confused. He said never to end the sentences by prepositions but his examples do. Those examples are correct examples are incorrect ones?

You didn't understand the video, those are myths and he said that you actually can use them because people do it all the time

So why Alex so many philosophers and poets use "and" and "but". And also use prepositions at the and of sentences . Are they wrong?

[@tatyanam475]

Alex explains that this kind of usage is normal, grammarly correct.
