Oh no! A typo crept in - my apologies! At 10:51 'a lots' is incorrect - it should be 'lots'

[@ltousch]

I noticed it and got confused. Glad you corrected it here. Thank you.

[@historylover3018]

I also noticed but I instantly understood it was a mistake. Mistakes happen.. Even during a video about not making mistakes.

The "Do" word reminded me very much of a comedy sketch that used the phrase, "Can I do you now, Sir?" Clearly indicating innuendo as to what "do" here actually means.

[@user-ul9tq8ey2k]

Please, time 10:51 - is the form "a lots" correct? Thanks for your videos.

[@EnglishwithLucy]

Thanks for pointing it out! This was a typo. I can't remove it without messing up the entire section.

[@cl4613]

Speaking of mistakes ;-), I was taught to use "not to" and NOT "to not". For example, at 0'36, when you say 'I will teach you how to NOT make these mistakes', I would have said '... how NOT to make these mistakes." Has English changed in 20 years, or has it become a colloquial way to speak (as with fewer vs less) ? And for how long?

[@imcttunome]

Thank you so much for including the example "less vs. fewer." It drives me crazy that our news journalists and others almost always get this wrong. For example: "Less people attended this year's party" I would prefer, "Fewer people attended this year's party." It is not that difficult to think things through before the words come out!

[@ReveerseFlash]

[@SusannaItalianteacher]

well, thank you Lucy! 😂 I was really upset each time I get fewer and less wrong, but now you've cheered me up!

[@user-no2mz9hl4f]

I think it’s most common for people to incorrectly replace “fewer” with “less,” rather than the other way round. It’s very common.

[@badshooter85]

I've learned some of these lessons, and I've understood them. But I just realized how to use Less and Fewer in a sentence. Thanks, Lucy.

[@prouveurludovic8067]

Thank you so much for this lesson Lucy ! I'm French and I've been teaching English in my home country for sixteen years. I'm very enthusiastic about your lessons ! I'm very fond of watching your videos and I endeavour to have a very good command of English ! I love British English so much (I've tried to use "much" as it was taught in your lesson today, ha ha !) and I can't help listening to your accent ! Your accent serves as a model and I try to sound like you ! I highly recommend your videos to my young students !!! Have a nice day ! Ludo 🙂

[@yulia_british_english]

12:15 "We have fewer than 5 tickets left" is obviously also correct as well as the example "Fewer than 50 people came to the event". 🤔

[@johngregory6005]

correct. But for sums of money, one does not think of them as individual units. So 'less than $50' - an amount, not a number of countable dollars.

[@farahdarwish-lz2ws]

Hi Lucy I just need to improve my speaking ability but unfortunately I don't have any partner

[@hmmtentego5542]

Thank you Lucy it was so helpful :)

[@jose_w3128]

4:29 Not really, I myself purposefully mispronounce English words when I'm speaking in Spanish because it's easier than switching accents, but I also do it so that the pedants around me suffer >:)

[@Schjoenz]

"she does the bed" is for parents or maids who fix/organize a bed. "He makes the bed" is for woodworkers who build or create the bed using wood and glue and nails. This is how I understand it. But I really need more lessons to improve. Plus, I might get influenced with your accent. A British accent is a bonus. 😊 Thanks for the lessons..

[@johngregory6005]

I would say that a hotel maid does the bed, because she does the room, i.e. cleans it and makes it orderly. but when I get up, I make the bed (or not ....). My mother might say 'do your room, and that includes making the bed'. So - 'bed' is a bit of a tricky example! This is in fact a special use of the word 'do', to mean 'clean up', not the general use to mean 'perform an action'.

[@Schjoenz]

@@johngregory6005 yes. That is also how I understand it. And the word 'make' is not always mean 'to create' or 'to build', right? It's a bit tricky as you have said.

[@johngregory6005]

@@Schjoenz As Lucy says, 'make' has a range of meanings. Clearly saying 'to make the bed' when it means to straighten and tuck in the sheets, is not 'create' or 'build'. If I cause you harm, I could 'make it good' by compensating you for your loss. I can make a payment - online or in person. The word is very flexible in a lot of languages - which is useful for those who understand but tricky for people learning from the outside...

[@Schjoenz]

@@johngregory6005 yeah. It's a bit tricky in my case. Thanks for the inputs by the way. I have learned from you too.

Great lesson! I'm just a bit confused about the explanation of have vs get. I was taught in middle and high school that using just have is an Americanism and we were encouraged to use the "proper British form" expressing possession with 'have got'. Has the language changed or am I missing something?

[@isaaqgamur4697]

Marvellous! I have been following your explicit way of teaching. Really, you're smart.

On the a/an part: In Hungarian, the equivalent of "a/an" is "egy", which basically means one, and for "the", we have "a/az", depending on whether the next word starts with a vowel or a consonant, the similarly to "a/an".

[@finduspeterson8097]

Thank you for the free lesson.

[@ibrahimibrahimfatima8352]

Hello madam your teaching English speaking is excellent and admirable thank you so much

[@germulqueen3002]

Very interesting. The "problem" I have is with words beginning with "H." Is it "a house," "a hotel" & "a hospital" OR SHOULD it be, "AN house, AN hotel & AN hospital?" 🙂

[@johngregory6005]

usage varies and it's hard to say there is a rule - but it's A hard question, not AN hard question. Usually if the H is breathed, it's A. But one hears both with Hotel. Probably more frequently A, but that may depend on the region.

Dear Lucy, First of all I would like to thank you for your great videos on KZbin! What a lovely way to introduce new expression, grammar and pronunciations lessons! After having much fun (and progress I guess) I decided to subscribe to your channel and shortly after to take part of your Beautiful B 2 English course. Right after I did the payment I checked only the first tutorial on using the course, but unfortunately I do not kwon how to reach my account. Last weekend I replied to one of your proposals received in my gmail asking you for an advice, but it must have been a no-reply message. So I aloud myself to put this comment here. Thank you in advance for your quick reaction - I cannot wait to join the course. Best wishes, Janina Ninova, Bulgaria

[@lucieprochazkovacr]

With the quantifier "much" I think it needs to be stressed that it is not used in positive sentences as "many" would be "There were many shells on the beach". The following sentence would be wrong "There was much sand on the beach." Quite a lot of students don't realize that and assume that "much" is just the uncountable equivalent of "many".

[@johngregory6005]

true. In positive setences one would say 'a lot of' or (more informally) 'lots of', or 'a great deal of'.

[@mohamedalidhaqane4074]
