Learn English: “How come?”

[@maraerharter1420]

I used to encourage my students to use HOW COME !!! I enjoy watching American Teachers bringing "Real English". Blessings upon you, dear Emma.

[@georgette7122]

Then you were a bad teacher. It is bad English, plain and simple.

[@derekeano]

I’m a native English speakers who has taught ESL before. I wish I could have showed this video to my students, it helps simplify things a lot

[@alexanderwork643]

I am completely fluent in English, Born and live in Canada, never thought about needing to learn english , and yet for some reason KZbin has put this in my recommended for like 6 months

[@vyoutube8276]

Can you just talk to me in English so I can learn

[@박광용-l3w]

I'm a korean and English beginner.I have been watching Emma KZbin for 6 months.

[@luisbar7951]

Emma my favorite teacher!

[@walberpacheco4910]

Luis Barrionuevo she's very great but you should watch Ronnie too, she's so funny

[@luisbar7951]

Yes I know her. You are right

[@80dakka]

which country she live ?

[@luisbar7951]

I think she lives in Canada.

Emma thanks for teach us... i'm a Brazilian man and in the next year ill go to USA and your classes will help me to emprove my English. On more time THANKS

[@unplannedsyntax]

Great lesson, Emma! Here's a thought I'd like to share with you: when I use "How come?" rather than "Why?" in questions -maybe it´s only me- I have the impression that I also add the idea, the feeling of being surprised by that situation..don't know if you agree with me. So, in a way, I think these two questions are not only different in terms of level of formality, but also in their pragmatics.

[@AbuAmmar2]

That is correct. I have noticed the same on many occasions during my interaction with native speakers in work and study places.

[@BenBen-se9dg]

Daniel Santos i agree with you

[@kenanmog3642]

Emma is the best teacher ever thank you

[@isaacnunes252]

[@franciscoviana8068]

There are lots of good teachers on so many chanels, but Emma is really the best. She's simply marvellous! I love her and, off course I wish her all the best.

[@Victrixiux]

My God THANK YOU for this vid! I started to use *How Come* in my questions and my husband always tells me... it's not how come is why. Maybe is the way I ask. But now looking at the examples I'll practice, hopefully use it wisely. Thank you again!

[@georgette7122]

Please, there is no need to use this expression. I'm American and I NEVER say "how come." It is very bad English, childish, as another commenter wrote.

[@whatsthepurpose1420]

@@georgette7122 i'm not even an Amercian, but i'm sure that you can't be right about that

[@alondrarojas5478]

It means "why", but you have to use it in a situation of surprise, not all the time... For example, if a friend tells you "I don't like chocolate" you may say... Whaaaat! How come you don't like chocolate? O.o

[@Victrixiux]

@@alondrarojas5478 Thank you so much! I've heard this on native English speakers but as you mentioned they used it as a surprise answer. Again, I truly appreciate your help.

[@Paritosh2646p]

@@georgette7122 I do think the same .... But it's only to know all the things and depends upon u whether u will apply it or not ...

Emma, this is a super helpful topic! Thank you a lot!

I absolutely LOVE you Emma!!! You’re the best teacher on this world! You’ re so easy to understand. Hearing you is a pleasure as your explanations are clear and simple. In addition, your voice is like silk and you’re beautiful. I LOvE YOU !

[@pakko33]

I am planing to become a teacher. I love your style so much!

[@mrcs1971]

You are the best English teacher and teach for the whole world and not just for one country.

[@AfroChilanGringo]

The final piece of the puzzle of “how come” is the fact that it is actually an abbreviation of a longer phrase, which, although not known with certainty, was probably “how comes it” or “how does it come,” meaning “how did this (event, condition, etc.) happen to be this way.”

[@holaadios1976]

emma I always come back to your videos . I love canada . I love the way you teach. you are a nice person.

[@kamleshsainiindia]

How come you became an English teacher? I know it's because you have the best way to teach English.

[@Paritosh2646p]

Well she has said that "how come" exactly means why and we can use "how come " instead of "why" so I don't think your sentences match ... Coz it's exactly mean that "why you became an English teacher ?....

[@kamleshsainiindia]

@@Paritosh2646p We can't use past simple verb in question form. But we can use 2nd form of vert with how come.

[@juanolarte4546]

Emma is a very good English instructor. I understand her lessons well and I like how she teaches. She is very nice likeable. Very good for her.

[@edgarquintero4435]

Ohhh I didn't know about this ... Thanks a lot Professor Emma

[@terepenchuk_ivan]

It seems to me I used to see this expression in different texts. But I just never paid attention to it. I subconciously understood what it meant. But I never used it in my speaking. So the time has come. Thank you Emma!

[@donelmbazoa2766]

thank you for this lesson. I will try to use most often "how come" in my daily conversation

[@georgette7122]

Do not use "how come." It is childish and very bad English.

[@elainejones9299]

Georgette No, it’s not. Stop trying to confuse non-native speakers. 🙄

I've been learning English fo 14 years and haven't known about "how come?". I've seen it but I thought it was a kind of joke.

[@brianmerion]

You really shouldn't use it. It is something a child would say. It's important to know what it means, but you should always say "Why?" instead of "How come?"

Thanks a million teacher.I'm really into your teaching and your explaining what easy to understand.

[@katieokitty]

When someone says ‘how come’ it’s usually among friends and is someone we’re to say ‘how come you didn’t get it’ instead of ‘why didn’t you get it’ I feel that why will give you a more positive response from the person who will respond to the question while saying ‘how come’ will make the person feel like you are more curious or are feeling sympathy for them in that moment and they might give you a more biased response. If you want to know the facts say why if you want to know more like person to person than use how come
