Some comments he makes, humour, is sexually related. I have heard in two videos after watching a few. It's a turn-off and not very professional. I hope it stops.

[@jonatan5569]

Thanks James, you are a great teacher and I really appreciate what you do, because your lessons are very interesting, easy to undestand and they help me a lot to improve my english .... Thanks again, James :)

Great video James! We have a MAKE vs DO video coming out in the near future, but you beat us to it. 😆 It'll be different, but you gave some solid explanations & examples. Nice job! 👍

[@eliasaiyako9653]

James, James! you're excellent teacher

[@TheRichExplorer]

Hi, Wes

[@jessicalt4121]

I don’t know how I came upon this teacher but I continue to learn from him, even though I am an English speaker, born and raised in Ohio. Many people I know, including myself, make these errors so this is a good review. The Obama’s! I miss their grace, class and genuine care for disadvantaged Americans citizens.

[@lukilller]

Thanks!

[@mskblumenau]

The best teacher ever...

[@wandersonandrade9596]

I am an English language student (a beginner) but listening to your class is like you are speaking in Portuguese with me. the explanation is so good that I understand it very well!

[@reggiekaz4147]

I'd like you to teach me Portuguese and I teach you English. Deal?

[@almayprietoenhomewithalma522]

Hi James, I’m from Mexico 🇲🇽 speak Spanish of course. However English is my second language and i can’t believe I am learning so much from you, really more than from my teachers at adult school. You’re awesome thank you so much for your knowledge and sharing it with us. 🤗

[@praisecyril6084]

Ever since I came across Mr James teachings I hardly focus on any other programmes on the internet, I love everything about the teaching and the teacher, he is just so funny and he also make the class looks interesting, how I wish he is me teacher before now I wouldn't have had any issues with English language.

My friend, you have a talent for teaching, your presentation of information is always interesting and intelligibly. Thanks, man!

[@fenluxzin8295]

“ I did the homework that my teacher made .” Make : you create . Do : you join the task . Another example : I made the bed ( this means you are a constructor ) ; I did the bed ( this means that you complete your task of cleaning it ) .

[@austzon1837]

Thanks You so much mate

[@jalllu5201]

Are you sure you watched the lesson?

[@TimXMan1000]

Making the bed means you just put the blanket on 😂

[@TimXMan1000]

Or you can say I make beds 🛌 that suggest yeah I create beds

[@alaataha7058]

Hello , i learn english with you . very cool video

[@avcchris629]

great best english teacher ever. the way he teaches is very understandable.

[@aglaevaldes2737]

I like your lessons. I would like to suggest something, try not to repeat or say the wrong sentences. I mean, don´t say incorrect sentences (I do the bed) because some of us learn while listening. I get confused when you do that.

[@johnajsumulong5475]

He had to do it for comparison

[@bbdtvbluebudgiederya6559]

I agree with you

[@miguelangelthomas5154]

it is unnavoidable. As a teacher myself, many times it is necessary to show students the wrong way to say something to hamer in that it is something you should not say. That way when students speak they remember what not to say and move towards the correct manner. If you learn by listening then make sure to listen as closely as possible while in class. I would suggest writing a list of common mistakes you make and contrast it with correct phrases. Only recite the correct phrases but keep in mind your recurring mistakes..

[@lucasdias5324]

What a superb teacher!!! I can't get tired of watching his classes. Amazing!

[@yulyyuly5117]

Excellent video because for me use this 2 words es hard . Gracias por sus videos 👍🏿

[@lauracosta4180]

Yuly Nagua is hard

[@mine1685]

Great way of looking at "make" and "do" from this perspective and explaining it from this perspective! Very good explanation and examples!! I very much like that your quiz was simple. Most of the time youTube English lesson videos ask very difficult questions and use big words in quizzes at the end of the video. I like it very much that you kept it simple in quiz.

[@TiToonloon]

Dear James, Firstly, I would like to say thank you so much, this video is very useful. I would like to ask you a question, How to find whole TRANSCRIPT? It will be nice if I can find the transcript. I will try to practice reading it out loud for making more my understanding and to improve my speaking also. Thank in advance. Best

[@pierolopez6137]

Teacher James, in the minute 23:09 I think is "I can make you happy", because is a modal verb. Thanks a lot. You are a incredible teacher.

And this experience makes me (not "do" 😀😀) appreciate your classes with your partículat mood. Indeed you are the best English Professor I have ever seen. Thank you so much again.

[@heloisaduarte4745]

Thanks! Your videos are always amazing!

[@БольшаяРазница-ю1б]

hello! james . you give private lesson ?

[@Guerito_Grande]

Great job! You explained the topic very well. Definitely the best lesson on "make and do" on the web. You are a tough act to follow.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

I can't watch the video fully now, so I ask a question having an empty comment section... When it's about getting somewhere (especially with doubts) I often hear 'You're gonna make it', 'We made it!' etc. Why is 'make' used in this case? Like 'to make it (real)' or something?

[@unailibano6928]

Andriy Vasylenko It's an action, right? I mean, for example"We ate the cake. We did It!(eat the cake)" I know my explanations suck, sorry mate xD

[@Bebec1t4]

In that case, I think it means to accomplish something.

[@johndoe9611]

Andriy Vasylenko *

[@st1nger13]

I think "we made it" because we know what exactly we made :D

[@ziayoung1637]

Made is past tense Make present tense "We made it", the action is finished so you should say 'we made it'. 'You're gonna(going to) make it', the action is not yet finish. Present tense. I suggest you review your lessons in Tenses to fully understand this thing.

[@crispsi1907]

The best explanation I’ve ever seen about the difference between doX make .Superb!!!!

[@heloisaduarte4745]

Thanks! Your videos are always amazing! But.... "I do everything I can "to" make you happy"? now I will need a lesson about why "to" is between "can" and "make".

[@m110h1986]

... I continue to make stupid mistakes.

[@AuthenticEnglish]

To is a preposition and it simply connects two words. I'm soon doing a video on prepositions on my channel that may help you.

[@abbashussain9331]

Heloisa SP to is connecting two different sentences

[@sophoniewagnac3202]

in this case "to" may be replaced by " in order to"

[@ataaita3680]

Thanks James for such a superb work. I wished all english teachers would be like you, and make such an amazing lesson.

[@paoandreamonroy]

I'm a Spanish native speaker and I'm curious James wrote "can to make you happy" . Aren't we supposed to avoid the infinitive form when we use modal verbs? could someone explain me that?

[@Samah-Alserhan1681]

Paola Andrea Monroy Cetina I do everything I can. . . . .to make you happy .

[@antonioperez-ramos5412]

Because "to" in this case simply means "in order to" ( make you happy) ... also this example: "I'll do everything I can /in order/ to make you understand this grammar point".

[@bonitabonita7701]

because it comes with WHAT... in this case we use to

[@tutifruti1154]

Paola Andrea Monroy Cetina you are giving a reason a purpose in this case “to” is not an infinite is a preposition

[@asenchang8458]

Thanks James for the clear explanation.

[@kamleshsainiindia]

Hi James, your lesson is amazing but I did not understand fifth and last example: I can do everything I can to make you happy. I didn't get "to" between can and verb make. Plz explain it. Thanks

[@olehholovko1341]

Maybe the idea here is that "to" connects "do" and "make", means "do" - Why? - "to make you happy"

[@kamleshsainiindia]

thanks
