Together with my friends ( going through enforced quarantine) we study diligently, thanks to you! Can't wait until the next lesson, please don't make us wait too long! ;-)

Thku sirr..but how to identify the the meaning of the word ‘quite’ in a sentence..it is completely or a bit??how can we select the right one??

[@engvidBenjamin]

Maybe think of it as being like a half...

[@HoaVu_ESL]

Teacher, you said "rather" - "He was quite/pretty hungry". Is its meaning like "quite", "total", consideratelty ?

A synonym of rather is quite.

Why there are not the commas, full stops and question marks in the script there?

are you referring to what is written on the board or the subtitles?

[@j-hope2074]

sooo nice teacher can you help me please with this Ex: Sami is.......cleaver but maher is ......stupid. 1/fairly -rather 2/rather-fairly 3/fairly -fairly 4/rather- rather

[@engvidBenjamin]

Firstly note the spelling: clever. Second, clever is a positive adjective and stupid is obviously not. Therefore we would want to emphasise the positive adjective and downplay the negative. I would write something like: Sami is extremely clever but Maher is a little stupid. Stupid is not a great word to use.

Could you please tell me the usage and meaning of"be going to do/happen" in English?

@@engvidBenjamin Hey Benjamin, could you please make a video on caesurae. I am reading a book named 'The Ode Less Travelled' by Stephen Fry at the moment, and I find poetry pleasurable. But I, not being a native speaker, am struggling with where the natural pause ought to be. Take for example: 'Thus far, O friend! did I, not use to make' In the above line, I was unable to judge where the pause/caesura ought to be as there are two commas and a mark of exclamation too. On further reading the book by Fry I was told that the only caesura in the verse is the second comma. So, Benjamin please, and I am on my knees here, do make a video about this. I'd be thankful to you. Thank you

[@FUD1155]

Hi,i’m going to take a quiz before watching the video. I would like to know how good i’m now. Let’s do this :D After quiz. Yeah. I got 9/9 100%. I’m jubilant. For me the most difficult word from those is “rather”. Perhaps, I’m not used to it enough. I don’t use it quite often. However i think that i’m able to use word “very” as well as its more sophisticated alternatives. Now after this lesson, I use “really” rather than “very”. Have a super sparkling day everyone. Take care and stay out of troubles. Bye! :)

[@engvidBenjamin]

Congrats

[@FUD1155]

@@engvidBenjamin it's brilliant to see when an author engage with viewers. Thanks :)

[@FUD1155]

But how can i know when word „quite” means totally and when a bit? For example: „Do you know Scarlet? No, i don’t. You know her for sure. She attended maths classes with us. She was quite pretty.

[@engvidBenjamin]

Quite is particular to British English. British people are always trying to be modest and understated rather than exaggerated. Hence, if we think something is really good, we might only say it is quite good! Intonation (the sounds you put the emphasis on) can also change the meaning of a sentence.

[@FUD1155]

​@@engvidBenjamin Now, i took a closer look. Funny fact. You should not say to british girl "You are quite pretty" for her it means "You are fairly pretty"
