I more than like your style. ‼️it depends what they connect with... I used to pick up all of this info by listening to my teacher . I scribbled , but needed to take no notes .we read Astérix n Obélix comics in English. Such a lovable teacher, we had.

It has been a splendid, exquisite and flawless lesson. I'm particularly jubilant, blissful and elated with that difficult topic. It is to my liking; moreover, it appeals to me. Henceforward, I must address you as Her Majesty the Queen Of English language. You are the be-all and end-all. Thank you very much indeed. Far thee well , dearest Prof. Andrea

It's new to me. It tunes me more. Thank you mam.

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

You're welcome...but "it tunes me more" doesn't make sense in English. You could say "It's sharpening my skills."

You're welcome; thanks for watching!

[@lesley3407]

Hello teacher, I just watched your class. you have explained quite clearly. But I still have a question wanting to ask you. Could these intensifiers be used interchangeably？these words have the same meaning？The differences among them are just the expression is strong or not that strong ？I will be really grateful if you can answer me. Thank you.

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

Hi Leslie - In general, I would not say that these intensifiers are interchangeable. The level of strength and the level of formality are differences I talk about on the video, but I think perhaps you are asking me about the words within the groupings, like 'awfully,' 'terribly,' and 'really.' The meanings may be basically the same, but within these groupings, some may be more common in British English vs. American English (like 'terribly' vs. 'awfully'), or some might be more commonly used, like 'really.' As with most vocabulary, some words are used in specific phrases or contexts; for example, we commonly say, "That's awfully nice of you," but would not usually say "That's terribly nice of you." Those are not issues of being right or wrong, but of sounding natural. How can you know these differences? Exposure to native English, as much as possible. Those nuances of language come only with a lot of input over time, and paying attention to the phrases that are used in certain contexts.

[@elenab4724]

Can modal verbs be intensifiers?

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

Grammatically speaking, we use this term "intensifier" to refer to adverbs that add intensity to what they modify, so modal verbs are not intensifiers as such. Can you tell me what modal verb(s) you are thinking of, and why you think they might be intensifiers?

[@kimgina9668]

Are you explaining British English or American English? Please reply me 😇

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

I am American, and this is American English...but for this topic, I don't think there is a great deal of difference between American and British English.

[@kimgina9668]
