I am an english teacher and I use your videos to teach!!! they're perfect!

[@orlandoaugustine3317]

A tip: you can watch series on kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching loads of movies lately.

[@gannonaydin8204]

@Orlando Augustine Yea, been watching on Kaldrostream for since december myself :D

[@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)

[@nohisocitutampoc2789]

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

[@andrewproano4172]

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

[@lari8738]

Wonderful explanation! Thank you very much x

[@Mr1Peaceout3]

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

[@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!!

[@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 !

[@aguerojg]

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

[@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."

[@backtoschool1910]

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

[@user-lf5rc9su7d]

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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@manpreetmanpreetsingh2087]

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

[@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

[@gdaniela72]

Thank you Alex for this useful lesson!

[@EFRAINKING20]

thank you...you are very clear with your words!!! i've understood everything

[@medawie1458]

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

[@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 😄

[@pixelcrunch6494]

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

[@jaredhara2995]

[@anandkumar-si1di]

Excellent instructions Sir.

[@zulfiyyeqocayeva8252]

Thanks a lot dear teacher,explanation was great

[@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.

[@dineshmaduranga7577]

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

[@elenacarra5863]

[@mostafahandia]

thanks a lot.

[@misseskisses6934]

Pretty epic english teacher :P

[@157tty]

I should have it done

[@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 😢😢

[@user-lf5rc9su7d]

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

[@lauravera7831]

Always is with "have in present" or can be with "had in past"? ... as I do to know the time?

[@oktariyanto709]

thank u very much

[@lissethify]

amazing!!!!!!!

[@aneeshkumarrajatulraj9043]

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

[@engvidAlex]

Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@hassn7750]
