[@wesleylucas5915]

Hi Alisha, Is it common to say "whouldna" for the contraction of "wouldn't have"? thank you

[@geoprava8031]

Hi! Why the phrase: "somebody is taking my bag" is grammatically incorrect?

[@haniasyed2405]

It's correct.. somebody is taken my bag" this one is wrong grammatically

[@ChitralPakistan]

@@haniasyed2405 My bag is taken by somebody. Is it correct grammatically?

[@haniasyed2405]

@@ChitralPakistan no..the correct one is my bag has taken by somebody

[@eddiy841]

Hania Syed actually, it is “My bag is being taken by somebody”, which has the exact same meaning as “Somebody is taking my bag” but written in passive voice. For yours to be correct, you need to add “been” BUT it won’t be in the same tense as the first one. It Would be in present perfect tense. Somebody has taken my bag (active voice) My bag has been taken by somebody (passive voice)

[@ChitralPakistan]

@@eddiy841 Then, what is the passive of 'somebody takes my bag', isn't it correct: My bag is taken by somebody. In the case of simple passive tense. For instance, Somebody is taking my bag, its passive is my bag is being taken by somebody, 2. Somebody has taken my bag and its passive is ' My bag has been taken by somebody. 3. Somebody takes my bag and its passive is ' My bag is taken by somebody.

[@abuhuraira3685]

TEACHER Show me how can you contract I AM to I'm in a sentence STUDENT I'm who I'm Not who you think I'm not who you want me to be I'm me

[@TV-bx1qj]

[@rogeriodelacruzrodriguezca9141]

[@KabirKhan-wp6qy]

[@silvadaniel2926]

These examples: He's gonna, She's gonna, you're gonna, it's gonna and they're gonna. How would be the fast pronunciation sound?

[@MikailHossain]

Hello dear, I really enjoy your class. I am with you from long time.

[@icanspeakenglish5813]

9:35 dammit I know you mean somebody is taken my bag is incorrect but its just sounds like somebody is taking my bag which is correct so its kinda more about the context here rather than picking up the sound

[@SergeySuper_Silver]

2:17 the same hard ones

[@alejandrabustillomoreno8228]

So you mean that for "could" & should, we just have to use a "d" sound... And if that's correct... How can we be able to distinguish, what the person is saying ?

Thank you for this lesson. Can you tell me how I'm gonna understand american movies. I understand everything when I watch English videos on KZbin but I can't understand american movies and I don't why. Help please

[@wesleylucas5915]

Hey man I usually watch movies with an English subtitle, so I write words I don't understand while I finish watching the movie. After that, I write words in the quizlet app and study those words or expressions. and so, I watch the movies again without sub ... It's boring ... but if you do that, you'll understand them.

[@rocioescamilla5059]

I love Alisha, your class are so good!!, thanks

[@alexblas988]

I really have learned in this topic! Thanks!

[@jcyoutubechannel7594]

[@ukronarciss]

[@saeidcyppp6293]

Alisha, would you please make a lesson about all the uses Apostrophes? thank you

[@belalsow8449]

Thanks for all lesson happy new year got blessed you

[@kareemsalem5547]

somebody's taken my bag = somebody's taking my bag ( we drop the (g) in (ing) . so both of these two sentence have the same pronunciation and anyone will be confused between them.

[@eddiy841]

Kareem Salem no, they do not have the same pronunciation. *Taken* is pronounced as /ˈteɪkən/ with a schwa and /n/ sound at the end whereas *taking* (yes we drop the g sound at the end) is pronounced as /ˈteɪkɪŋ/ with short i sound (as in it) and the /ŋ/ sound which is NOT the same as the /n/ sound. This two sounds are very similar, and hard to tell the difference if you are not a native speaker. To help you hear the difference, think of these two words: “Sin” and “Sing” They’re NOT pronounced the same, the first one has a /n/ sound and the second one a /ŋ/ sound at the end of the word.

[@asadbekqurvonaliyev4128]

Teacher thanks very much for this lesson.

[@mihreteabgebreyohannes1231]

Thanks my lovely teacher

[@asadbekqurvonaliyev4128]

Theacher please could you understand me about present perfect.

[@evahimo171]

Could you come to Russia to teach us?

[@fritznelchery7939]

Hello Alisha! Thank u for this lesson. How can i make a difference between :" he is> he's" and "He has >he's"

[@pssilva3973]

You diferenciate "the present simple tense" (he/she/it is ) from "the present perfect tense" (she/he/it has or 's) through the context. "She/he/it's here" ♦ "She/he/it' [ha]s BEEN here for 3 years.

[@bsktigerlife1023]

Thank you for your lesson

[@josephjatto6759]

I love your every lessons.

[@DuongNguyen-ld9mc]

THANKS TEACHER.

[@stck2908]

Happy New Year :)

[@carloskhuzaymaa]

What's the diference of the He is, Contraction/ He's and He has contraction/ He's. I'm a little confiuse, That's normal, How did I difer?. Thank's for this video. See you soon.

[@captainhook9056]

'He has' is used for temporary possession of something and 'he is ' is used if it's permanent. Kind of like ser and estar if u know Spanish.

[@eddiy841]

The difference is the use and tense, one is in present tense or present continuous and the other is present perfect tense. You can tell the difference from context and grammar like she mentioned in the video. She/He is: When “is” is used as present tense verb of “be”: ▫️She’s (She is) a good teacher When “Is” is used as an auxiliary/helping verb in present continuous tense (Subject + am/is/are + -ing verb): ▫️She’s (She is) teaching English She/He has: Use the contraction when “she/he has...” is used in Present Perfect (Subject + have/has + past participle): ▫️She’s (She has) been teaching English for 10 years 🔹Ella ha estado (Ella ha estado = She has been) enseñando inglés por 10 años “Has” in this sentence is an auxiliary verb. Do not contract when have/has is the main verb used to refer to possess, own or hold, etc. ✅Correct: She has pretty eyes. (Ella tiene unos ojos bonitos) ❌Wrong: She’s pretty eyes.
