Thank you Teacher 🙂

You are very welcome! 🙂⛄🍦

Hi dear teacher! Once you put on your winter coat then I think there's a slim chance to see you wearing a jacket from previous video until spring comes! Sometimes people call this type of jacket " windbreaker" ! If you by any chance didn't still have your morning coffee here it is☕🥯🍌

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Yep that's true. There's a slim chance I'll wear my jacket again before spring. We'll see though. It might be milder next week! 🙂⛄🍦

[@mahdialshammari128]

Thank you, Bob! There’s a slim chance to have dinner outside tonight.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Here there's no chance of having dinner outside. Way too cold! 🙂⛄🍦 🙂⛄🍦

[@shiwhuang1253]

If I hadn't spent my 5 bucks on my scratchy this morning, I might have a silm chance of winning something big with it in the future. Thanks for the lesson! It's super practical for day-to-day conversation!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Maybe you'll get lucky tomorrow! 🙂⛄🍦

Is it the boat garage behind you in the video? There is something like the trace from barn to the river.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

That is the ramp that the cows used to use to go from the barn to the pasture. 🙂⛄🍦

[@jaretterizalyn1544]

wow, I love this. I am an english major student and a Filipina. I desire to widen my english vocabulary, so, thanks to your videos! Padayon!

[@valeriaszasz9242]

Hi teacher Bob, thanks for the new lesson. I don't understand why people like loud and noisy vehicles. Their habit and fun are unbearable for us who would prefer quiet environment. There is a slim chance they move another place, but maybe.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'm sure it's more fun to drive them than listen to them! 🙂⛄🍦

[@ΓιωργοσΦ-ω1χ]

Hey teacher bob.. would be very interesting to make a lesson about the time you were smoking vs now that you not.. with a lot phrases and expressions would be an epic teaching video

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I should make a lesson about phrases I used when I was young and that I don't use anymore! 🙂⛄🍦

[@alexs.9031]

Thank you!

[@joananf462]

Thank you so much Bob. You always come over with a new phrasal verb to teach us. How amazing it is. Have a great day. Take care.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I hope you have a great day too! 🙂⛄🍦

Snowmobiling at 2 am is a kind of crazy. I hope those snowmobiles were not like I met on Lake Baikal. Those huge vehicles have a turboprop, and they make noise like an airplane. BTW, you don't, by any chance, know if the Greate Lakes freeze in the winter? For me this question is technically weird, not only because it contains a kind of double negation (that you mentioned), but also because it starts with the word "You" instead of "Don't you"

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Once in awhile the lake to the south of us will freeze over. It is called Lake Erie. When Lake Erie freezes over we have a very cold winter with lots of snow. This usually only happens once every five or ten years. The lake to the north of me, Lake Ontario, never freezes over (at least not since 1928 I think). Even though it is further north it is much deeper so it usually stays warmer throughout the winter. 🙂⛄🍦

[@Aleksey_FE]

@@bobsshortenglishlessons Thanks for the answer. It is interesting.

[@Steve-zw1yh]

[@marcingruszka4414]

Is there any chance you do a lesson with your natural pace of speaking? Just to find out if we'll manage to understand. Thank you Bob for this lesson, it's great as usual .

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

The last minute or two of these lessons is very close to my normal speaking speed. My intention is to speak at my normal pace during the last two minutes but I think I've been forgetting lately. I will start again on the next one! 🙂⛄🍦

Thank u very much sir plz keep it up i want to learn more English from u .

I will keep it up! 🙂⛄🍦

[@eugenetheu.1102]

Hi Bob! You should make a big sign " No snowmobile at night" and place it on the bank. There is a slim chance it helps.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

That's a great idea! 🙂⛄🍦

[@qiupark1831]

The river level now is a bit lower than usual, right? It looks like a winter view already. Appreciate for your lesson.😄

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Yes it is much lower. We were able to clean up the electric fence and put away all our irrigation pipes. We're almost ready for the first snowfall here. Just a couple more things to do. 🙂⛄🍦

[@sakissouliotis]

Thanks for these pharses Teacher Bob!!There's not a slim chance to rain here in my city today...there's a big chance to rain today at noon and the afternoon. Teacher what's the opposite of "slim chance"??Maybe we'll have some showers later for real....we'll see. You don't by any chance have a wrench, do you?? Reminds me another one phrase and correct me if i'm wrong:Do you happen to know how do i get to the bus station?

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

The opposite would be a good chance. There's a good chance it will rain today! 🙂⛄🍦

[@oviltoncarlos]

Hi, Bob! I hope you get a soundproof room, we don't want you to leave the house in the middle of the night in the winter, we need you healthy 😁

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Sometimes I wear earplugs! 🙂⛄🍦

[@Eduardo-kn4sf]

Hey Bob good morning 🙋🏽‍♂️, I thought the first phrase was about 50/50 chance, but it Seems to refer a less than 50 % probably right? thanks in advance have a great day 😀👍🏼

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Definitely less than 50%! 🙂⛄🍦

[@yaroslav_basarab]

Are "by chance" and "by accident" equal? Can we use them interchangeably? Thanks for the lesson. It is helpful every time 🙂

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Yes in some sentences. They can also mean different things though. I could say, "Do you, by chance, have a pen?" and I would not say, "Do you, by accident, have a pen?" The second sentence would make no sense.

[@pattycandle3596]

Thank you Bob ! It was clear and helpful as usual!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

You are very welcome! 🙂⛄🍦

[@mohdags420]

Excuse me, Mr. Bob. The phrase “by any chance” doesn’t always have to be used with tag questions, does it? (See! I just used a tag question to inquire about that!😎) I mean, I’ve heard questions that go like “do you, by any chance, speak English?” Is this way of asking less polite than your way? Sorry for asking a grammar question, but you don’t mind that, do you? (Another tag question🤓)

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

It's kind of funny because we ask questions like, "Do you, by any chance, speak English?" or "You don't, by any chance, speak English?" It must be how the subject and verb pair are used that determines whether you negate it or not. English is weird! 🙂⛄🍦

[@nikitalyashchenko1100]

👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@noriko244]

There is a slim chance that they stop riding snowmobiles at midnight. I assume they're adrenaline junkies, driving fast with darkness 😅 Hopefully it will be less noise in this Winter because of COVID 🤫 Great lesson,sir😃

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

The river was extra busy last year because of covid because people couldn't travel further north to go snowmobiling so they just did it around here! 🙂⛄🍦

What do you think about this? People said movies streaming websites can be shutdown, is there a slime chance for them to come back again to the internet?🤔

What about "fat chance", Bob, please?

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

When you say, "Fat chance!" it means you doubt something will happen.

[@mohdags420]

I think it’s best if you stay in bed, Mr. Bob. Because if you go out in the middle of the night, there’s a slim chance you’ll also hear things that go bump in the night, not only snowmobiles! 👻😬

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Or I might fall through the ice! 🙂⛄🍦

''Don't you happen to know how to get to the airport? Don't you by any chance, know how to get to the airport?'' are they the same?

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I would probably say, "Do you, by any chance, know how to get to the airport?" or " You don't, by any chance, know how to get to the airport?" English is so strange! Sorry! 🙂⛄🍦

Like I want to be English but I have very a slim chance. 😢😢

[@mohdags420]

Hey, do you think that, by any chance, the words “fat” and “slim” might kind of mean the same thing? - Ha! *Fat chance* ! They’re opposites. Wait, what? Ok, on second thoughts, there’s a *slim chance* this might happen, but only when they’re followed by the word “chance”!
