My wife used to misinterpret "Don't have to" to "Mustn't" every time I was trying to be considerate; this lesson helped me save my marriage. Thank you.

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Glad I helped save your marriage!

[@Tony32]

Maybe you should move to the US or Canada, we never use "Mustn't" lol

[@--curiosity--]

@@Tony32 and what about "must"? Do you use "must" or prefer "have to"?

[@Tony32]

@@--curiosity-- "have to" is used most often, "I have to call my parents" "I must call my parents" sounds a bit dramatic.

[@--curiosity--]

@@Tony32 thanks

[@soniamayrink3295]

One thing I like in your methodology is that you are never "glued" to a blackboard ....I think this is excellente because you kind of " force" us to listen to you attentively, reading your lips, and we have the subtitles to study afterwards , listening to you. You are a genious.

[@AnnaMariaThor]

What's interesting if it comes to "whom", non-native speakers in whose mother tongues grammar cases exist tend to use "whom" correctly more often than native speakers not really used to grammar cases.

[@EliseBellatrix]

Thank you so much for the lesson! I often make mistakes with the AT, IN and ON prepositions. With your clear and concise explanation I really can see how to use them properly! I enjoy your videos, so I've subscribed to your channel! Greetings from Spain!

[@soundsthatheal812]

Did you know you are the best English teacher out there? I love your lessons. Thank you for all the effort.

[@susanrosebush9701]

Thank youuuuu excellent explanations! You make things so easy!

[@rajenranv7936]

What makes it efficacious is that we learn the native texture of the language from the native speakers. In some instances, non-native speakers commit the prepositional errors, because of vernacular impact and they certainly get clarified when attending to your classes. More significantly, there is a double advantage in this programme, as we are truly enabled to gain the contents and to understand the manner of articulation by the native speakers. Great thanks to Great Teacher. So nice of you Sir.(Ravi)

I like your lessons very much, Gideon. I'd like to suggest some sentence patterns for your students or pupils here: S - IV (Subject - Intransitive Verb) e.g. Dogs run. S - TV - DO (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object) e.g. Chris tutors Jennifer. S - TV - 10 - DO (Subject - Transitive Verb - Indirect Object Direct Object) e.g. The instructor assigned Steve poetry. S - LV - PN (Subject - Linking Verb - Predicate Noun) e.g. She was the office manager. S - LV - Adj. (Subject - Linking Verb - Predicate Adjective) e.g. Roses smell delightful. S - TV - DO - OC (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object Object Complement) e.g. Joan considered Will her friend. S - TV - DO - AC (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object Adjective Complement) e.g. Mr. Anderson painted the house green.

As a teenager I learnt by heart Hamlet’s most famous monologue. As a boy I didn’t understand it alll, now I know what it’s like to suffer the insolence of office, and much more. You gave great advice! If it ain’t fun, it won’t stick! However, I’m a bit sceptical to the ultimate as well as the penultimate method presented.

Here in Russia, we were taught that the difference between 'must' and 'have to' is quite the opposite. 'Must' should be used when someone/authority puts you in a position of obligation: "The teacher says that we must visit the local police to learn driving rules". But if obligation isn't that strong we should use 'have to': "I have to exercise more to lose weight'.

Gideon one day can you discuss the different ways British English speakers VS American English speakers use the word the. We say I am will be attending the University of Georgia and British speakers say I am attending University. We say Brother John is in the Hospital and our British counterparts say John is in Hospital. I am sure there are more examples but, I am sure you understand what I am asking.
