Excellent format for motivating acquisition of new vocabulary "live"! Plus welcome periodic pauses for such dense listening!! Very high interest content for our adult learners. Vocabulary, itself, was a nice range of more to less common choices, with many easily put into everyday conversation. Very engaging to offer students an opportunity to submit their own sentences! On behalf of my advanced ELLs, thank you. Do you have more of these stories?

Derek, the video is cool (as always)! Thanks for preparing this info for us :) I have a question: isn't it a mistake to say "suggest that he leadS ..."?

[@derekcallan-englishforpros]

Hi Darya and thanks for the nice feedback 😊 Regarding your question, I think you're referring to the prediction exercise after Part 1: "Will Alex suggest that someone else leads the project?" The s in leads is grammatically correct because it follows the third-person singular form for the present tense. In this sentence, "someone" is the subject, so "leads" is the correct form of the verb to agree with the singular subject. Hope this answers your question 👍

[@daryaperevozchikova1186]

@@derekcallan-englishforpros thanks for explaining. However, as far as I know, when using the verb "suggest" in this way, followed by a subordinate clause expressing a suggestion or recommendation, the verb in the subordinate clause should be in the base form (infinitive) without "s". Doesn't it work like that?

[@derekcallan-englishforpros]

Perhaps I answered too quickly 😲 I just double-checked this and of course you are right! Thanks for pointing that out and keeping me on my toes 😅 😊👍
