English Lessons with Alex (engVid AlexESLvid)

[@p1y2t3h4e5r]

I teach English in Mexico and I used your video as a review for my students, Well done! I liked how you explained it. Very useful!

[@aertybhujm1]

I am a Taiwanese English teacher. (我是一個台灣的英文老師) The reason why my English is so good in comparsion with most of my fellow Taiwanese is that I have been constantly learning and practicing English. (我英文能力之所以比其他台灣大多數同胞來得強是因為我不間斷地學習與練習英文) Hopefully the average Emglish ability level for Taiwanese can improve a lot in the very near future. (希望台灣的平均英語實力能在不久的將來大大地進步) I have finished watching this video completely. (我已經完整地看完了這個影片) This video is awesome！！！！ (這個影片棒呆了！！！) It is bloody useful！！ (真是夭壽實用！！！) Big thanks to the teacher and all the fellow students around the world. (大大地感謝老師與所有其他國籍的學生)

[@ilaydassmaz]

your speaking style is so clear that i can understand what are you saying thank you so much,, loves from Turkey

[@alykanin]

Thank you for another great lesson, Alex! Such constructions were really confusing for me. In my language we just say "I did...", "I should do...", etc. when actually somebody else is supposed to do it.

[@nohisocitutampoc2789]

I miss a LOT these videos. This website was my first in order to use KZbin to try to learn English. Thank you.

[@philippmb]

Omg thank you. The first yoiutube channel with a guy, with no accent

[@cuentainhabilitada2467]

i love this videos, they help me to pass my exams

[@engvidAlex]

That's great!

[@TheScales101]

I’m a new teacher and your videos are the best! Thank you 😊

[@engvidAlex]

I'm always amazed when I see people commenting on these vids from years ago. Happy to help! It's really tough starting out. You'll make plenty of mistakes, feel stressed when you don't know the answer to a question, but over time, you'll figure stuff out. And the more you study, the better. But...you probably already knew that. :p

[@TheScales101]

Learn English with Alex [engVid] It is definitely tough starting out. Thanks for the encouragement! I will keep watching 😄

[@rosemarieceballosrendon9202]

Alex, thank you for your lesson!! It was very useful, and clear for me. You are a great teacher!!

[@นาถจารีย์]

I really like the way you teach. You spoke very clear and tried to speak slowly. I think it's good for the beginner students. Thank you very much for taking time to teach through. I appreciate it.^^

[@engvidAlex]

Thanks, Natalie! I have videos for students of all levels. Some are more advanced. To see which ones are for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students, you check out my teacher page on EngVid.com if you'd like. Good luck!

[@mariahamani9872]

you are really a good teacher . 👌🏼

[@aguerojg]

Very interesting and amazing explanation, thanks a lot, Teacher Alex!

[@andrewproano4172]

excellent explanation.... now I know about the passive causative...thank you so much...nice to have teachers like you!!!!

[@linked29]

What a teacher!, I had a few douts about this topic, and know now that is very easy to make theses sentences. Great teacher, and better explanation !

[@loryencajurao8015]

Thank you teacher Alex for this wonderful lesson. Now I know how to use a Passive Causative in English Grammar, so i should have to use this either.

[@Lebst]

This is a very common structure that we use all the time! It is also very common in the future tense and also for the subject to be the doer of the action. Instead of "I will do my homework," we often say "I will get my homework done." It sounds less active and reflects the passive attitude of the doer and I think it is a bit more polite. It sounds more polite to say, "I will have the results put on your desk by Friday" than to say, "I will put the results on your desk by Friday."

[@learnerlearner2189]

Hello, Thanks for your great video.I want to ask you 2 questions, if you don't mind. 1-In the passive causative we don't have "make", and "let"?! 2-And what does 'have' and 'get' mean in the passive causative?! Does it have the same meaning on the active causative?! or not?! Have -> forced, get->persuade. Thanks

[@mariaidolina2429]

Alex, I want to tell You, that your explanation has been the best that I have seen (I´ve seen a lot!!, jijijij), and I could understand you!! I like so much the way you explain all your clasess. THANK YOU!!, I´m from Mexico City. I send you a big Hug!!

[@manpreetmanpreetsingh2087]

Alex I love your style of teaching ; I have become your permanent puple

[@ivanmiroshnichenko4299]

I've watched another video about that but I was unclear. After I've watched your couple of videos (active causative and passive causative) I've completely understood this subject. Thank you

[@engvidAlex]

That’s great to hear. Thanks for checking this out!

[@Mr1Peaceout3]

you are best teacher, and I learned a lot thank you so much.

[@londonidani]

All of ur vids r really good, Despite im not such a good in the english language i get evreything that is taught by u. U've helped me a lot. Cheers mate! By the way! Today im gonna get my hair cut coz it's too long :)

[@nazlmarinaizmir5660]

Hi everyone I am from Turkey Thank you so much teacher, teaching for us. (;

[@pixelcrunch6494]

You are very kind to give us this lesson for free.

[@medawie1458]

Yes, this way so good. Please do this more. Thank you so much.....

[@valentinmilla3405]

Hello Alex! Thank you for this video! I have a question about it. if i say: I had my car repaired...what is really happening: the car is already repaired or it is about to be repaired? I would really appreciate your help!

[@MarkHogan994]

It was already repaired. "Had" is past tense. If you say "I will have my car repaired" or "I'm going to have/get it repaired", then it is about to be repaired.

[@muzammalali6696]

Learnable information for only those taking strenuous effort regarding aptness in English grammar...

[@lari8738]

Wonderful explanation! Thank you very much x

[@SymphonieofEternia]

I'll succeed my exam tomorrow thanks to you :)

[@backtoschool1910]

Oh, that's what you call this. Thanks! I knew that it was a type of passive construction without "to be."

[@ValeryFusion]

Thank you for this intelligible grammar lesson!

[@isabelacuervohenao2602]

cool class, I understood very well

[@engvidAlex]

Glad it helped!

[@alexhett2367]

[@sanjibganguli3084]

Respected sir, you are earnestly entreated to solve the following voice change -They had their haversacks slung behind their backs.

[@moonlight7972]

Hi from Turkey ♥️ Good lesson 👍.

[@gdaniela72]

Thank you Alex for this useful lesson!

[@maxtiasfenty]

Thank you for this class, I've just reviewed this grammar in my school, in portuguese tho.

[@habblasmusic]

Love your lessons Alex!

[@POCEnglish]

Hey Daniele! I would love to know your opinion about my videos. I have recently started teaching on KZbin! Let me know what you think!

[@yesican3913]

You said there is no different between "get" and "have" but my teacher said that the difference is we use "get something done " to describe some elements of difficulty or a achievement involved in the meaning sense. whereas" have something done" to describe things we arranged to be done for us.As a result in describing unfortunate experience. Btw i don't know what does it mean?can you explain please 😢😢

[@นาถจารีย์]

Using "Have something done" is more formal than "Get something done". Normally, "get" is used for spoken English.

[@anandkumar-si1di]

Excellent instructions Sir.

[@km.60899]

Really you are best, I have ever thought about such type

[@CristinaXNofx]

Brilliant Teacher.

[@pheakdeyreth7920]

Hi, Mr. Alex! Thanks 4 all ur videos. They are all very useful for me, an English trainer. Do ur lessons contain all the tenses? I'm looking 4 explanations on all tenses.

[@Blockthecreeper]

[@shabnamalikhail7521]

For examples : 1. K : I have a problem, my garbage is full in my house, so i don't know what to do? J : I think you should have it Brought by garbage collectors K : I think that's a good idea, thanks J : no worries. 2. Brandon : i'm sorry for disturbing you, but there're so many snails in my house and i'm confused where they came, and why they came to my house. I'm even allergic to them. Ferdinand : maybe you should get them taken by someone who likes them. Brandon : I think your advice makes sense, thanks. Ferdinand : anytime

[@withtravel9746]

[@engvidAlex]

[@tonyandy9543]

a perfect teacher

[@Vimutti-Freedom]

THANK YOU SIR. I CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD.

[@lehongphat2030]

when do we use an active or a passive causative?

[@yumnasaad3221]

You are the best❤️

[@nadezhdab._alisasurname8732]

Hello Alex! Could you help me with understanding these sentences, what kind of grammar is it? - 1.We watched the army march through the town. 2. I heard him shout. 3. Watch me do this. They aren't causative structures or...? Thanks in advance!

[@engvidAlex]

Hmm, I've never thought about it beyond causative verbs like make, have, let, and help, but I suppose there are other verbs that use that "subject + verb + object + base verb" structure. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of this form. The only resource that comes kind of close to explaining it is this one here: www.businessenglishresources.com/learn-english-for-business/student-section/student-handouts/infinitive-vs-gerund-combining-two-verbs/ (it's at the very bottom) But even here, it's incomplete. Sorry, I wish I could help more!

[@nadezhdab._alisasurname8732]

Thank you! I’ll check it. But is this structure typical for English? Do you use it in everyday life? I found it in Essential English by Eckersley.

[@engvidAlex]

For sure. We use it all the time. :)

[@nadezhdab._alisasurname8732]

Super))) Thanks!

[@selaleeyyubova5807]

Hello ,Sir .I am an english teacher and I am writing from Azerbaijan.This form is called Complex Object.

[@dineshmaduranga7577]

Thank you sir.I want to ask your a question is there any verbs can be used passive causative?

[@Nini-ke2hg]

You've explained very well🤍

[@saintvilwiltho1220]

Thank you Alex. very good, I appreciate that video

[@engvidAlex]

You're welcome, Fitho. Thanks for studying with me!

[@phonexaybannavong4626]

Hi Alex could you help me explain the following sentence "Come to lecture prepared" what is the part of speed of prepared? and what is the structure of the sentence?

[@Zahra.vakili]

U R great in teaching

[@jaredhara2995]

excellent explanation!!

[@japoneze6507]

What about sentences like "I was made to deliver the heavy luggage by myself"? The heavy luggage needs to be delivered. Someone of no importance makes me do it, it would be me the one to deliver it. And let's add the phase "by myself" or "on my own", meaning no-one is going to coop with me to do it. What should I say, from my point of view. Being me who does the action of delivering, and the one who is also assigned to do that action. The original sentence would be in Japanese 自分で重い荷物を運ばされました Notice that the subject "I" is being ellipted

[@etka10]

i think this is easy topic but we usually process it in upper level.fact is that we should give an aprreciate for teacher in video

[@raulaguilar3918]

Hello, really thanks for this video, you help me a lot. Thank you again, you have a new suscriptor.

[@aneeshkumarrajatulraj9043]

Please tell me sir, A causative verb in passive he is making you crame lession.

[@Luminary_Vista3]

If I had to choose between: "I was sent an email by my friend, or an email was sent (to) me by my friend" which should I choose

[@saintvilwiltho1220]

[@musicaenacordeonricardomen2588]

[@hassn7750]

[@sherifsaleh9021]

question ? How can I know that a verb can be changed into passive I mean verbs like (break down - contain - consist of - ..............) Is it right if I say the car was broken down . or the car broke down.
