Confusing English: LIE or LAY? RAISE, RISE, or ARISE?

[@rooneys.5692]

I’ve been avoiding to learn how to use these verbs all these years. Thank you for the superb lesson!

[@Dasinpa]

The best teacher I have ever seen. I am a native speaker and still watch James daily. Just to stay sharp.

[@MarcusVinicius-yi5qt]

Learning English in english is the better way to do it

[@radouanebenmahdi1948]

The best* ☺

[@LilPozzer]

Whaddya think about learning Spain on English when you are Russian

[@JoaoSantos-ed8vo]

@@LilPozzer Then you can try Portuguese. It is almost equal to Spanish.

[@LilPozzer]

@@JoaoSantos-ed8vo ok, I'll try bro

[@maagmaximus]

@@JoaoSantos-ed8vo yes, sure, kind of like french and italian are.

" I love you. You are my object." Quite the romantic you are, sir lol.

[@catalincatalin587]

And if you guys think this is the end of it, here is more: both "pay rise" and "pay raise" are correct. First is British, second is North American. And "lie" as in "to not tell the truth" is a regular verb: lie, lied, lied. Welcome to English! By the way, from teacher to teacher, your videos are absolutely amazing. Great job!

[@JuanVichannel]

Great lesson James. About the "pay raise" i think it is also possible "pay rise", since i guess one is American and the other British

[@abkrhandbaglover1314]

Very good explanation, thank you...

[@ctw213]

I’m a college graduate. I’m an American. I’ve been natively speaking English my entire life. These words and so many others like them are insanely frustrating for me to use properly WHEN SPEAKING. Schooling does not necessarily ever correct your casual speech by teaching you the proper uses, tenses and words. Of course in formal writing and even speech I would have to research which way is correct but it’s such a pity that admittedly, my casual language (the way I talk) has me so insecure about these kind of words. I fear I’ll never get them right. That’s why I’m watching these videos. I want to know the differences so I can use them correctly. Thank you for the lessons!

[@martinvasilev5636]

Great teacher, great lesson!

[@1010emilia]

Very good explanation!!thank you

[@greatcesari]

“Some vs Any” would make for a good video

[@simonskovajsa1834]

Rise is said to be an intransitive verb here. The example sentence is "Please rise for national anthem." My question is, isn't "national anthem" also an object so the word is transitive then?

[@adrianaespinosa8647]

I really like your explanation and the visuals, too!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@hardikadhyaru3563]

I lay my laptop on the Table and started to watching your lesson even then i got on the bed to lie down and I lay my mobile on the chair as well as my dog is also lying with me even then i lay my dog on the floor because he was bothering me a lot. I am from India i see you as a ideal in my life

[@n.j9670]

Thank you James it is really fun to watch your videos

[@Roma96193]

Best teacher i've ever seen

[@myselfme767]

That's what I understand by the word "teacher". My English teacher in school had the same approach as you. When I'm learning a new word I wanna know everything about it or as much as possible. You gave some really good examples and I understood what you were trying to teach me. Love your channel!

[@XxMeMeDxX]

best teacher ever ♥

[@lovelylady0200]

He is intelligent, funny ,attractive , and personable... his wife or husband must be lucky

[@khuenguyen306]

+lovelylady0200 "his wife or husband....." =))))))))))))) i laugh a lot when read this

[@lovelylady0200]

Khuê Nguyễn why? It's not like I know his preferences...

[@bearwuff]

i think he or she meant they smile a lot ahahah as in it makes them happy to see someone not assuming one's sexual preference

[@TheFVSousa]

Alejandro Pérez is that why u have learned another language, to offend other people?

[@tangymvids2000]

I came here for English but found myself in a gender discuss. 😡

[@kiki5483]

I can't thank you enough for this lesson, I really have trouble figuring out what verb to use when I write. And when I have to use the -ing form it's even worse. It'll be easier now. Thanks again!

[@greatcesari]

As a native English speaker, this is a video I needed for years

[@vagnermullerluiz8050]

He's the funniest ESL teacher I've ever seen! He's just great!! Congrats buddy!!!

[@baotrannguyenngoc9964]

Don't laugh, you will hurt yourself.

[@englishbyteswithsiribon2391]

I like the way you handle your lesson. This is a great help for Asians like me. Very clear explanation. I learned something new in this video. I'm a new subscriber. Thank you very much.

[@alexandremainente9516]

You are the best teacher I ever met

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thats brilliant that you listened to your students & took their questions seriously enough that you looked into them. Just goes to show learning is a two way process between teacher & student & that you take teaching seriously & don't just give pat answers. Some of my teachers were not so good, not really interested in teaching or in the subject.

[@MythicalPanther]

You, my teacher, are georgeous! Thank you.

[@mirianmartins6120]

Great explanation!

[@torish5877]

Asterisks... I BET THIS IS THE BEST GUY FROM THE INTERNET!

[@Mannyf86]

Yes! I’ve been right all along! It’s incredible how many people use lay and lie incorrectly.

[@НаврузКамолов-п7в]

Very good explanation. Easy to understand, nice examples. Thank you for the lesson. Pronunciation is cool! Good luck for future perspectives.

[@camila1549]

I love the fact that he knows what I am thinking. 😂😂James is the best! Thank you so much for the class 🙏💙

[@brazenserpent7]

15:50 "She lay the blouse on the bed" is incorrect. She lays (present tense) or she laid (past tense) the blouse on the bed is proper, though. In any case, this was a truly informative video. I have numerous friends who cannot distinguish between the two verbs. Thank you for elucidating these points!

[@cecobruv1509]

its grammatically correct. Period.

[@feelings517]

Your a master Mr. James thanks for clear my doubts.

It makes me a little confuse ....need to watch this lesson again... :D

[@spectacularvll]

this is the most interesting lesson I've ever seen! thank you so much!!!

[@technologywontsaveus]

Nice lesson. Never really had thought about it. In German, "sich hinlegen" (to lie down) and "etwas hinlegen" (to lay something down) sound very similar. And "liegen" means to lie (on the bed e.g.), while "lügen" means (to lie to someone) (you now wish you had the ä, ö and ü to make similiar words different, don't you?). After this lesson, I think I got it. It's actually easy but first you have to know how it works to know how to use it, no matter how easy it is. To lie vs. to lay something is easy to remember. To raise vs. rise vs. arise also was also useful information. Thanks James, as always a good interesting fun lesson. You're a great and motivating teachr. :)

[@zaraspasenovic8558]

As this video is about correct English, I have to point out a couple of errors I noticed: 13:47 Asterix is a cartoon character; the star symbol is an asterisk. 15:50 She lays the blouse on the grass.

[@luisvargas7429]

Best teacher ever! keep up the good work.

[@vitalinazaharova4228]

You are a great teacher! I have been English for 4 years, but still confused in these words and what is their deifference. Thank's)

[@showme7448]

Most native speakers say "lay down" when refering to the process of getting some rest which is very confusing. It seems like they are all trying to deceive learners to believe their lie!

[@engvidJames]

+Show Me Haha, yeah. We don't make it easy for you guys...

[@Nichime]

+JamesESL English Lessons (engVid) I like the way You teach You make it easy to understand but, I'm going to be honest I have to see the video one more time ,I'm a little confuse, but I can make it ,Thanks :D

[@karldelgado558]

my kiwi bf keeps saying he's laying down. and I keep saying im lying down. which is correct? he's a native English speaker.

[@showme7448]

Karl Delgado lying down is grammatically correct. But most native speakers would say layind down

[@karldelgado558]

+Show Me thanks. well, I can say native speakers aren't perfect when it comes to their language.

[@danirosa2579]

This is my first time I see you and I love your way of teaching English

[@ranoxoliqchayeva9956]

You are amazing but I am complicated with raising my hand and rise about it. But if I raise the rent, I just influence to it, to change the fee. But if I rise something, I touch it and put it upward.

hi,James. Thank you very much for your lessons. You are very good at explaining things,so its very easy to understand the difference between the words when you have explained them.
