Assume or Presume?

[@GutsAndGlory734]

Assume (casual usage)= “without tangible evidence, or to be reluctant and take the element of evidence for granted”. eg) take up position, expect, believe, think. Presume (formal usage)= “Based on previous evidence, because the evidence recurred in the past ”. eg) arrogant and overconfident presumptions or presupposed.

Indeed the most important thing that I still learn , and each new lesson more important for me , so it is seems that is endless process . Thank you from deep of my heart Mr. James .

[@justdoit-xw5rn]

I've been understanding with your great lessons since I started. You are the best one Teacher anyone has ever said to me. I can't thank you enough and can't stop thanking to you every time as I do. I'm just speechless.

I truly enjoyed the class, thanks James. You're really a good teacher.

[@kasididyookong1569]

My muscle has been increased by James' video lesson.

[@browngirlreading]

Love your lessons! You're very clever at teaching difficult vocab and expressions. I'm an EFL teacher in France and sometimes your videos really help me out. Keep up the good work. Oh and in France they changed the law. Now you're presumed innocent before being proven guilty.

[@EnglishatHolmeLtd]

Won-der-ful :) I'm a native British English teacher and I love your explanation!

you are a very good teacher, greetings from Córdoba, Argentina

[@neehaglee7249]

Nice lesson James. Knowing differences between words is very useful. Thanks for sharing.

[@awdalysaleh4045]

I totally , agree with you , and I believe , though As you know , they requested to show a fact and I did just follow an order ; otherwise I fully trusted that the perfectness is not the ideal way , one must be modest , and tolerated even in the language . Thank you so much .

[@wly725]

I presumed you were a very good English teacher. Now, I've assumed it, and know the world Assumes and Presumes everyday. Happy New Year 2013, James!!

[@ryanrobison6334]

In retrospect, looking through at least the first few of these comments up here, I'm rather distinctly touched by how distinctly you've touched people here, James. I'm rather spiritual on every level, so I just assume to claim Elocution as my "religion", most personally. Here 8 years after the fact, I caught up with you finally, to say the least. I only wish I could better convey the over-the-top gauged base for comparison with which I come from in so saying that I'm very impressed and rather touched on a deeper personal fulfilling level than readily comprehensively conveyed and articulated by mere linear modes of mundane linguistic communication delivery, I surmise. I certainly hope you're endeavoring to keep up the great work even still, however, & I very genuinely appreciate your valuable contributions thus far already and this is the first of your videos I've even seen, which is really something in my book, to say the least. Be blessed, Good Sir - you and your own.

assume :to accept something to be true without question or proof presume : to believe something to be true because it is very likely, although you are not certain. absolutely they're divergent.

Amazing teaching! Thank you.

Indeed, I praise you my lovely teacher , the live is a big school , and the practice makes one more perfect , so we have to make a mistakes to learn the right . Once a gain thank you so much ..

[@Bysia69]

Very interesting lesson, thank you for that.

[@robertkumanek2172]

An assumption can be sometimes hard to detect, can't it? I have found out recently that people who get angry about some result they are angry because they assumed another result which was their desire. I presume it is a rule. You can assume it or check out on your own. An advantage of this knowledge is if you don't want to be angry, you shouldn't assume too much. Cheers from Poland.

[@ryanrobison6334]

Glad you covered criminal presumptive protocol back then for Canada and France in this instance. It certainly illuminated the nature of America these days more definitively.. Which outright lies, at least insofar as Oklahoma's concerned regarding my own presumptiveness.. True, I'm not even sure whether the policy got tossed under the table unbeknownst to us or not, but this "innocent til proven guilty" bs doesn't have a leg to stand on around here given my own experiential analytics.

[@Archeryring]

I had been assuming I could have presumably mastered that language presuming all the means for studying but now I know the best way for learning is listening to James from Engvid. It is not an assumption but a presumption

[@strongerstone9651]

However, would love to get your perspective on this! cheers!

[@MsFyneTV]

I love your videos!

[@MySebas3]

is suppose synonymous of assume?

[@omp199]

The definition of "presume" that James gives in this video is incorrect. Presuming something doesn't mean that there is any prior evidence. The "pre-" part means "before", but it implies that you are taking something as given *before* taking into account any evidence. "Presumed innocent" means that you are treated as if you are innocent before the verdict is reached.

[@wilderichard]

I presume according your explanation; presumption of something would come after evidence or wouldn't? I'm thoroughly confused 😳 but anyway thanks! 😎

[@foodisgoodthatsthetruth3231]

But wait! The sun will 'come up' so I think that's more of a presumption.

what did he say at 11:30??

[@rarsommm]

actually he said think of myself, :)

[@aurel344]

Thank you for this video, it’s very helpful. The only thing that disturbed me, is when you say that there is no such thing as the presumption of innocence. French law also shares the fundamental principle of the presumption of innocence. Then again, if with such an assertion, you were referring to the fact that in reality this principle isn’t applied effectively is a different question. If so it would be a little bit offensive though, and it would smacks more of a personal opinion rather than the reality. Anyway, I don’t know how you came up with that, but your statement is certainly moot, if not utterly untrue. I suppose it wasn’t your intention to be rude, but still, I highly recommend you to be more careful when asserting such a strong statement. Especially when it’s a video who is being view by so many people. Regards.

[@82mai]

so assuming = presumptuous and both mean "arrogant"?

Hey, James, I really like to watch your video, but my internet is so slow, I have to open this page, and pause for 30 minutes to wait for loading, when it loaded, the quality of the video sometimes is unbelievablly bad. Evan this, I am still going to watch your video!
