[@kronostrinta4117]

Dear Lucy, maybe i'm wrong...please make me right if i'm making some mistake, but, when it come to single words, this and these have different sounds. but, in quick conversation is almost impossible realize this difference because the two words become equal sounds. so, i think that i realize the difference by contexct.. but this, that , these and those are very confusing for us from Brazil. this/esse, essa, isso, este, esta, isto these/esses, essas, estes, estas that/ este, esta, esse, essa, isso,isto, aquele, aquela, aquilo, que (que is a conjunction) those/ estes, estas, esses, essas, iaqueles, aquelas, believe it, we get ten words for that.

[@sarahpanda3252]

kronos trinta Instead of "make me right" you could say "correct me". Also, no. You hear the difference in even fast conversations. It's still this little "i/e" sound where you can get the diefference from. I found these papers. I found this paper. Apart from the "-s" after "paper", which is a help for plural and singular, the "e" sound in "these" is a very deep, long "e" sound. Like Lucy said in her video, the word "this" is pronounced in a very different way and the "e" sound here, [Which is spelled through the "i" here], is shorter and sometimes it sounds as if there is not much attention paid to this sound. Sorry, I hoped I could help!

[@Nathan-Croft]

How do we prounence them in sqeezed way?Like "Think that they"

[@kronostrinta4117]

yeah..actually i almost never watch british videos. but in american conversation is really hard realize this difference. the two sounds seem equal. and that sounds like dzet but sometimes the t souds like d.. it's very crazy

[@ЖемисКоздибаева]

Hello Lucy Can you make video about Future Tenses please? And If you can about passive voice tenses

[@nicolettaschulz]

That will never happen to me! This place is special for my mom. Tonight I am going to wear these shoes. I didn’t like those people,but now they seem agreeable. Hey Lucy, I hope my examples aren’t totally wrong.Please,upload some new videos because they are very helpful to foreign learners. Hugs from Germany❤️

[@sfs5209]

I just can't stop loving your accent! I've never loved a British accent as much as yours (maybe just the Queen's) maybe because your pronunciation is so clear. Your English lessons have always been very useful for me, especially the ones about phonetic and pronunciation (last year I made a specific course about English phonetic at my foreign languages University in Florence). Regards from Italy!

[@aneuriperozo7645]

Sofia Guerrieri hi would you like to practice english each other? It could be fun

Is this your book? These are my books Is that your pen? Those are my pens Is that ok? 😅 I'm 15 from Indonesia and still learning English. Love ya!!😘

[@kamilczartoryski8916]

Hey. I understand most of the examples, but I still have a problem with one of them. For example - I’m listening to a song and I really enjoy the lyrics and my question is Should I say “I love those lyrics” or “I love these lyrics” ? Thank you! ;-)

[@serceparmak667]

Hi Lucy, I hope your are well. I would like to ask you, what is the differences between although, despite, in spite of and however? because, when I take an exam, I meet this questions lots of time.

[@italofonia4771]

This and these! The struggle is real! Thank you for this video! 🙂

[@rezza2507]

Thank you kindly, pretty Lucy! ❤ This is called a further practice of using a demonstrative pronoun. Here are my sentences as follows: 1. This was my camera last year. 2. Is that your new fancy car? 3. These aren't her sunglasses. 4. Those were his suede jackets.

[@user-ly7ch1tc8l]

Hi Lucy!! Today i learned a good lesson. Thank you. I would like to know about tenses, especially present perfect tense and past perfect tense, because i used to make mistake in tenses frequently.

[@EnglishwithLucy]

This is a great idea

[@kroyrina]

I really like learn English with Lucy❤💛 .Oh, I'm not good at English🙁

Happy belated birthday lucy!

[@kagamihyozuki5076]

Can you do one for , "Has , have , had*been"

[@karlalinsazzolini7679]

Lucy, I have a question to make but there´s nothing to do with this subject: when I want to "ignore" what someone is saying, like not giving so much importance to that, but not because I don´t care with what it was said, but it´s because I don´t want to argue with the person., how can I say it an english? In portuguese we say "relevar". It´s like when you let something behind, you get over what was said and moves on without arguing. How can I say verb?

[@stormrider5664]

hi lucy

[@blue_serenade]

Sometimes i feel confused too with simple grammar, i've heard someone said : "i was....." but i also i ever heard. : " I were...." i still confuse which is correct....

[@greensky6664]

"I was" is correct ;)

[@bestyav5529]

I'm sorry I sometimes get confused about "it" and "that" ...Example : a friend tells me on phone "I'm at home eating Mango " so, I was confused whether I should ask him " do you like it? " or "do you like that? " Please help me .

[@leonardoaquino2387]

This is a common basic doubt about English, and I´ve never seen a video soooo gooood on that subject! Thanks Lucy! You have a lovely British accent. 😍

[@Moka-zv2cl]

My cute smart British teacher is back 😙😙😙 Please make a video about the deference between past perfect 😢, past simple😰 and past perfect continues😥

[@user-sk8dr6zt2q]

Difference*

[@kiviisan]

Here's how I learnen these 4 words: this - point the finger on your nose that - turn the finger away (as if showing someonene's nose) these - point the finger on your eyes those - turn your fingers away (as if showing someone's eyes) That was very useful before, but now I don't use this method, because I know when do I say "these" and so on (brings a tear to my eye☺)

[@saisdhongade1656]

Hello Lucy! I was actually waiting for your video to come up! I really like your English and I hope I learn to speak English as fluently as you do. Love you so much!

[@danielely3807]

THIS Lucy is amazing! THESE explanations she gave us certainly made THOSE difficult words so much clearer! THAT's what I call a job well done! 😆 Glad to have you back, Lucy, feeling well and ready to teach!

[@EnglishwithLucy]

I love this!!!

[@xylemfielding682]

I agree, this Lucy is amazing. This Lucy is the best Lucy. That other Lucy had a lot of problems, mostly because there was not enough context to identify that Lucy.

[@soso-fi5xp]

Well,THAT was an amazing video .. I am so glad that I could finally identify the difference between THESE four words !!😄😄

[@season.appreciation8102]

Lucy, I'm Englísh so not a foreigner student but I really enjoy your videos, brushing up on my knowledge etc. etc. This video reminded me of why and how we use this, that, these and those, I'm so relieved I get it right without remembering WHY!! 🤔 You're fun and such a good teacher, thank you.

[@rezza2507]

So both Lucy and Season .Appreciation are native speakers of English. Both of you are Brits, aren't you?

[@xylemfielding682]

Season .Appreciation said "I'm English" so this person is almost certainly from England, which is one of the three kingdoms on the island of Great Britain. So yes, I would say they are both British. Also, Season .Apperciation draws a dichotomy between people who speak English and "foreigners", which is not how it is normally conceptualized in the US. In the US, foreign people very often speak English (if they are from England or Australia or Scotland), foreign people are simply not from the US. I am English by descent (my ancestors were in England about 100 years ago), and I speak English, but I wouldn't say "I'm English so not a foreigner". If I went to England, I would be a foreigner in England, although I do have family there. I am their American family, visiting from abroad. I am not English when I am in England. But in the US, if someone asks where is my family from, I can say "my family is English" or even "I am English", but I am not a foreigner in the US because I was born here and I am a US citizen. My father was not born here, he is a citizen now, and he used to be a foreigner. He will always be an immigrant, but I think he's not a foreigner anymore. It's kind of funny if I am with UK family and they speak before I speak, because my hair and eyes match perfectly, I am obviously related. My last name matches and also is a very strongly English last name (not even Scottish or Welsh, it is from England specifically). Then I open my mouth and I'm American. Boom, surprise.

[@standhere3287]

Please Make A video With Your best American Accent😂😂

[@ParisAntarktis]

recommendation: I would love to see a video about phone calls or email communication. Expecially, how to be polite, how to request documents or information politely (I admit, I need it for my job - office, accounting, invoices,...). For example my colleague told me, that when I send an email "could you please explain why..." I am suggesting that they have done something wrong and that I am being rude. Is that true? Why? How to say it better? Or could you explain more about "culture" in phone calls? British people are always asking "how are you?" even when they have never met me, or sometimes they do not wait for an aswer and continue - is this your way how to say "hello"? why are you asking when you do not want to know the answer? :D Or British people often reply to my email "thank you for your email" - even when I am informing them about something unpleasant.

[@EnglishwithLucy]

Now that is a great idea :D

[@sarahpanda3252]

And, can you please make a little lesson about words ending in "ts"? For example the most bitish people say "Whas your name" instead of pronouncing also the "t", "What's your name?". Thank you for reading!❤

[@EnglishwithLucy]

Ooooooo this is called a glottal stop! I think Papa teach me has a fabulous video on his channel!!!

[@rezza2507]

A glottal stop is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages, produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract or, more precisely, the glottis. the symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ʔ⟩. Using IPA, this sound is known as a glottal plosive, isn't it?

[@isaiasjosedearaujoaraujo231]

Yes

[@SanskrutiRajpure]

It sounds more british if used correctly .

[@rezza2507]

That's so true! It sounds more British if it is used or pronounced correctly

[@rezza2507]

Thank you very much, Lucy! ❤ Here are my sentences as follows: 1. This tastes good. 2. Hey! Look at that! 3. Do you like these? 4. Those were the days.

[@Peter-py1pv]

Hi, Rezza, I don't see you anymore on Mark's channel. I saw your comment here a couple of months ago, and that's it ...! What's going on with you? Peter, Croatia

[@mihaiciorobitca5287]

I asked myself:"what to do if i feel sad" and i answered to me:"look to English with Lucy,she has just posted", i did so well i heard myself

[@xylemfielding682]

Are you Romanian? Don't toy with my emotions. I always see KZbin comments starting with "eu" and I think "nice!"... then I keep reading and it's Portuguese. It's a great way to get repeatedly disappointed. (I'm fairly certain you're Romanian, though. *Grozaaav!* Be well, my friend.)

There is a girl, whose name is Lucy. Even I don’t know her, I think she is funny. Is she a weird girl? I don’t think so. She just lives her life like “Enjoy and have fun today, it doesn’t matter what is gonna be tomorrow.” You can see only smile on her beautiful face. She is never in sorrow, she is the brightest star in the universe. Is she a little crazy? I don’t know, maybe. But I can see in eyes that she has a pure soul, and she is a girl who always has a goal.

Why not " i love heavy metal" ?

[@EnglishwithLucy]

This was a lie! My previous flatmate once invited me to a concert. I thought it was going to be a nice indie band so I out on a floral dress and curled my hair and wore pink lipstick. When we arrived, I realised that it was a heavy metal band. I had the BEST NIGHT EVER....But I looked ridiculous 😂
