English Grammar: Negative Prefixes - "un", "dis", "in", "im", "non"

[@carolgough84]

As a native English speaker (USA) teaching struggling 10-12 year olds to read and write, I have to thank you for your excellent explanations of "our" language. A lot of these rules adults just "know" because it sounds right so it's often difficult to explain it effectively to kids. I often turn to your videos to make sure I have a solid understanding of the rule and can explain it properly to my students in a way they can understand, especially the exceptions (and there are sooooo many!!). Thank you so much!!

[@shibainucoin6077]

Hey sir I have a question from you can you send your Instagram name for me,I’m thankful 🙏

[@scotgbs8026]

I didn't know there are kids in USA who are struggling to read & write in english. All the while I thought the kids of native speakers just pick up the language naturally and easily without much difficulty.

[@alexandreleal7911]

​@scotgbs8026 it's very difficult to teach any kid in any language because the kids don't speak all the words correctly. It happens to every kid in the world.

[@تامرقاسمالنهاري]

I THINK SO but some of them care about sciences like (brilliant kids)

[@joneenurse9616]

I really like Adam's teaching with transcript, it is so helpful for both listening and reading. Thank you so much.

[@medardnzogu6710]

Hi Adam your are learning me something that I didn't know and you're the best teacher in Engvid that I have never seeen

[@nicolasmithy3644]

Yeah, me too

[@Everythingisok7]

You are teaching me instead of learning and ever seen

[@ayanfeayanfe1222]

Your response of appreciating him has just loudly murdered all the things you think you have learnt....lol

[@mikegray8776]

Excellent teaching style, Adam! You approach these constructions in a way that very few native English-speakers ever truly consider. Perhaps 70% of anglophones rely on MEMORY of such words, rather than analysis of their derivation. As such, many people remember wrongly (or hear them wrongly) - and attribute the wrong meaning to similar words (especially uninterested/disinterested, and also insure/ensure & immigrate/emigrate). As you insightfully point out, this is far less important in spoken English, than in the written form ..... and the majority of people may not even notice (or understand) the use of the technically incorrect term. Even if they do, they will almost invariably understand the "sense" of what you are trying to convey. In short - to your students - do not get too hung up on the precision of your language when translating INTO English - any confusion you feel will frequently be shared by most native speakers. Therefore you will not be mocked or criticised on the occasions when you remember a word slightly imperfectly. Only when creating written text do these distinctions become more important - and in that context there is always time to second-guess yourself, with a dictionary, if in any doubt.

I am an English teacher in Egypt and I really enjoy listening to Adam`s lessons . I think nobody can listen to him without being attracted so I am trying to imitate him especially in pronunciation

[@greenya84]

I also do like the way he teach. He uses simple words to explain difficult things, that is very important. So the listener can focus on the topic itself. The examples he come up with while explaining things are also well-directed as for me :)

Adam is the best on EngVid! The way he teach is just perfect. He explain clearly and in detail. (after all I like the way he talk - he seems very polite and kind:)

[@baobaotran5292]

I think Benjamin is also a good teacher

[@valentinapereya]

Perhaps it is impolite to correct a person, but I hope it'll do you good as we are just learners here. So, pay attention to the third person singular: he teachES, he explainS, he talkS. I'm sure you know it because 'he seems' you used correctly. And I agree with you - Adam is a great teacher!

[@Merovingin91]

Dear Adam! Thank you very much for this video. It's a sheer coincidence that I'm about to give a similar class on Friday, and I've been preparing my material for a week. The biggest problem I faced was the absence of any comprehensive paragraph in any textbook, so I had to assemble the data from various sources. But mostly, I was concerned whether such 'paragraph' (i.e. a set of strict rules) existed or not. Your words were like a balsam to my heart: there's no rule, there's a feeling. Thank you so much! I need to confess, I pretty much like your work. I think, it meets high standards of good educational videos. Keep it up! Best wishes, Denis.

Hi Adam. I was wondering if I can use you video to help my students with their English prefixes. I'm not a native nor live in a country which English is a spoken language. So I figure that this video will help them to understand the lesson. I'd just take some of the prefixes which match with the prefixes I have in my English book.
