I love him. Everyone who is willing to learn English should watch all of his videos.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

I'm very grateful for the very kind comment! :)

[@MrFedebloch1978]

This class is phenomemal! Thank you so much Mr. Rupert!! I wrote the following sentence: At the moment, I am trying to lose weight. In the past, I tried losing weight. But, it did not work.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Thank you Mr Fedebloch! Your sentences are good. When writing formally, it is better to use "However" rather than "But". In an informal context, though, starting a sentence with "But" is absolutely fine, too.

Never have I eaten such a lovely dish!

[@EnglishwithRupert]

That's a great sentence! It gives me the impression that the dish was really, really good! :)

[@mohammedhassanademadem]

Never have I watched grammar lesson so informative and so instructive.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

I really appreciate the comment! Also, I am very impressed with your sentence because you managed to correctly combine two of the grammar points from the lesson in one sentence :)

[@EnglishwithRupert]

I'm glad you enjoyed your "class" today :)

[@faxriddinrahmatov9174]

Thanks a lot for such a useful lesson sir❤❤❤❤

[@EnglishwithRupert]

It's a pleasure, sir 👍

[@FerozKhan-ss9nn]

Advanced grammar is incredibly important.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi FerozKhan!! You won't be surprised to hear that I agree with you :)

[@FerozKhan-ss9nn]

@@EnglishwithRupert yes I won’t be because all English teachers and learners will agree with you that grammar is the main thing in a language. Anyway, I am grateful for your sincere efforts in this regard.

[@ahmedboussena2997]

Thanks a lot for your exquisite lesson!

[@EnglishwithRupert]

You're very welcome. I appreciate the comment!

[@AshimGoswami-y7l]

Next sir :-- base form and present form verb, semi modal, pure modals

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Thanks! I will add these ideas to the list, although you may find some answers in my video "85 Modal Verb Rules" 😁

[@obelpadua5461]

Very useful topic, keep it up Sir❤

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Thanks! I will do my best!

[@iskander21024]

[@EnglishwithRupert]

I'm very grateful for the kind comment!!! Thanks!

... if two of the structures you mentioned are combined ("Much has been written about it, but little have I read" - or possibly "had/did I read"), they do not seem to work together ... or do they? ... thank you ...

[@EnglishwithRupert]

In theory yes, but it might not lead to the meaning you intend as "little have I read" doesn't have a referring word linking back to the previous clause and as a result refers to reading in general. Something like "little have I read about it", but of course you've already used that ending structure leading to poor coherence. This precise combination of words, therefore, is probably best avoided 🙂

[@JINGLIANGWANG-r7l]

I am a student before the teather❤

[@naynay5569]

I’m very interesting and need more learning and that not that easy.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

I'm glad to hear that. You are the kind of learner I think about when I plan these videos!!

[@sandipbangal3752]

A:DO they play here daily?how can I reply to the question using modals as I am not sure if they play here daily?

[@EnglishwithRupert]

I would probably say this: "They might do, but I don't know". Thanks for the question :)

[@phumkiatwananuraksakul7815]

If I am not wrong that many cannot be followed by a singular countable noun due to its meaning being more than one

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi! You are absolutely correct 🙂

[@mohammedhassanademadem]

Yet many a man is making friends with death. Even as I speak, for lack of love alone. (Love is Not All By Edna St. Vincent Millay)

[@EnglishwithRupert]

That's a great example of "many a" :)

[@WaseemDar-l6c]

I want to take online clssses

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi Waseem! I'm not currently running online classes, but I will put an announcement out on my Community tab if I run any in the future. Best wishes Rupert 👍🙂

[@Nicolas-7572]

Are all of the sentences correct? A) This sentence is grammatically correct. B) This sentence is correct grammatically. C) Grammatically this sentence is correct. D) Out of the 20 people, the two came. E) Of the 20 people, the two came. F) The two of the 20 people came.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi! A, B and C are all ok - it's a good example of adverb flexibility. In D, E and F, we don't actually need "the" in front of "two". If you used "first" or "second" instead of "two" then yes, you would use "the first" / "the second" as mentioned in the lesson :)

[@Nicolas-7572]

​@@EnglishwithRupert Thank you. Do you think sentence no.E(Of the 20 people, two came.)is a correct grammar?

[@EnglishwithRupert]

@@Nicolas-7572 Yes, this version would be correct 🙂

[@mohammedhassanademadem]

Do you know anything about global warming?/Much has been written/said/reported about it.

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi Mohammed. I hope you are well! That's a great effort at an example! Remember to use "has" after "much" :)

[@mohammedhassanademadem]

@@EnglishwithRupert Oh thanks for detecting this error. I really appreciate you Rupert.

[@user-cc2ux9ew1r]

How are you Grammarian?

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi, thanks for asking! I'm doing very well. How about you?

[@user-cc2ux9ew1r]

Good, every time you pop in 😀

[@СветланаЕфремова-ф1н]

Can I say : How fast he drove . ?

[@EnglishwithRupert]

Hi! Yes, certainly, if the context is correct 🙂

[@naynay5569]

Don’t you know that we’re not working on holidays Thanksgiving?

[@EnglishwithRupert]

This is an excellent rhetorical question! :)
