[@mistoihisoilihi6966]

I just appreciate the way you teach this language because right I am able to travel in any English country in the world mostly in Canada ..I am from comoros

[@josephkarottu4166]

your presentation is great and easily understandable.

[@igordalvi]

In my opinion, both natural and correct are important. It depends on the situation. Formal situations might require a more correct speaking and primarily writing, but depending on the audience, being more natural (although incorrect) might facilitate the communication.

[@MadEnglishTV]

I agree! 😃😃

[@manmienounouche7884]

Thanks for sharing those verbs with us🙏

[@ekramarnous4195]

Oh, Mark you are fantastic 🌹👍

[@wangxing2716]

Hello, I love 😍 you and I like this channel, it's very interesting and clear

[@urvashipurohit4953]

I believe that correct things always sound natural.For me being correct is more important than anything else.🙂. Anyway,this was the answer of your question.Sir, you're actually a nice teacher as in so simple terms you teach each of the topics of English of language that any one can easily understand it.Thanks for making such wonderful videos.

[@sanyinmon]

The person who likes to lie to others and sweet talk his way out of any situation in order to believe something will be finally abandoned by his friends. But sometimes white lies are good and effective for patients who suffer life-threating diseases such as cancer which gives them strength and hope to cure for their wellness. I lay a nice floral pattern table cloth on my dining table so that it can cover the scratches and flaw on it. After a long hour flight from my country to Canada, I lie down on my bed and stretch out my legs and hands in a relaxed way.

[@luciano7644]

Awesome video!

Thanks for useful videos. U r very sweet n soft spoken. It feels good to see u n listen to your teaching classes. Learning through your videos is never boring n difficult because of your spontaneous n meticulous teaching style. Rather it's always an enjoyable learning. Thanks again.

[@MadEnglishTV]

😃😃

[@monalisashillong5160]

Thnkz a lot sir fr this important lesson

[@RoseBelaAmigurumis]

I agree with you that it depends on where we are or what we're doing to use those verbs. I mean, if I'm talking to friends, I'll prefer to sound natural. However, if I'm taking an English test, I'll use the correct grammar verb tenses. It happens to me in my language too. Sometimes, I make mistakes to sound natural but I'm aware of them. The two sentences are: I lay down on my bed to watch some videos last night but I was so tired that I fell asleep. I lay my laptop on the table to watch some videos while I cook. Thanks for teaching this subject! You added a lot of important and interesting information while was explaining it. Let me tell you a secret: I watch a lot of videos at KZbin but I only click on the "like" button when I watch your videos!

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks so much for liking my videos! 😃😃

[@firman8550]

I'm lying on my bed while watching your video. Lay those things calmly!

[@mbgreenmuziks6740]

I'd have never known those subtle differences about" lie thing "if I didn't watch this video. Thank you so much sir. It was really useful. .keep up your good work. Thanks again.

[@mbgreenmuziks6740]

Again what about this sentence " I'm so laid back " sir?

[@mbgreenmuziks6740]

So, Lie. Lied. Lied Lie. Lay. Lain ( grammatically correct ) Lie. Laid. Laid (grammatically incorrect but Natural ) I prefer to be natural though! Lay. Laid. Laid He was lying when he said he laid on the beach. Actually he was not lying on the beach instead he was just walking watching chicken laying eggs 😂

[@MadEnglishTV]

Lol "I'm laid back" means "I have can easy-going personality."

[@fayefarah3918]

‘He’s lying on the beach’ is the funniest sentence 😂

[@yongluo1873]

thank you teacher !

[@victoria.c]

After a long day at work, I really enjoy lying on the sofa for relaxing. When we have dinner, please lay down your phone and enjoy your meal.

[@MadEnglishTV]

[@yaskamohaz5994]

Great lesson appreciate it.

[@MadEnglishTV]

😃😃

[@javedone]

I think we should learn the rules of grammar lest we might get less marks in a test but we should go with the flow. Spoken English is way different from the written English laden with rules of grammar. Thank you very much for your interesting video.

[@bigbenabalo2]

Love your honesty

[@MadEnglishTV]

😃😃

[@Joe-ip2ky]

Yesterday I lied to my friend about his surprise birthday ! Every day when I come back from work I lay my phone on the table. I’ve heard many times that it’s not good to lie face down when you sleep. To summarize: 1) to lie, lied and lied is not saying the truth. 2) to lay laid and laid is to put something down. 3) the most confusing one... to lie lay and lain is the action of going face down or face up on a mattress or something like that. But you... native English speakers don’t use the simple past lay and the past participle lain because it would be to easy ;) you rather like complicated things using laid and laid instead of lay and lain. You don’t want us to learn English or what :) kidding ! Thanks for the lesson it’s been very useful ! Have a good one Mark !

[@MadEnglishTV]

😃😃

[@israaabd3172]

Good lesson teacher

[@nguyenloi2908]

Your really funny and gentle. But don't realize that your snorin' when you sleep

We had problems sir, but u solved it..... I m on ur channel for the first time and subscribed too..... Love from INDIA

[@akasa2laoshi555]

Thank you 💛

[@ashaocean7431]

It’s very important to be correct writing and speaking

[@zlatkoperkovic8679]

It would be nice if you could explain the use of the construction: I wish I were (instead of ''was''). Thanks !

[@billyjeff5489]

I love the sun of the beach

[@aneeshbhaskar1693]

Hi morning , I am an Indian ,excellent class thanks

[@minativishwakarma3985]

Thank you so much Mark for this video on lie and lay. . 👍💕 In fact, I got little confused because I hardly heard people using 'lain' as the 3rd form ( past participle ) of the verb 'lie' . Lay, of course, is quite commonly used as the past tense of 'lie'.. 😃 The rest is fine! 1. Lie... A dishonest man wouldn't hesitate to tell a lie. (N) I want to lie on the beach and enjoy the cool breeze. ( V) 2. Lay.... The hen lays a golden egg every morning. ( V) 😂 -Please lay the dinner table for the guests! (V) -He lay on the lawn for about two hours. (V)

[@MadEnglishTV]

Great job Mini! 😃😃

[@minativishwakarma3985]

@@MadEnglishTV Thanks Mark! !! 😍😍

[@maryammonshizadeh7343]

Ha ha Its really “Mad “English Thanks Mark

[@olgaath1511]

I have been lying on the beach for more than two hours, lying to my friend about everything! Oh God, this beach ⛱️ inspires me to constantly lie, I can be a terrible liar when I want!😅

[@hussamhussein6158]

Hi Mark, Thanks for the lesson . Could you make a lesson Explain the use and the meaning of " WOULD '' .

[@MadEnglishTV]

Yes, I'll try to make a lesson about that! 😃😃

[@rezakhademi2891]

Now I have learned it down pat!. 😀👍

[@annadutta6538]

2:55-3:07 that's awesome!!! 😂😂😂😂 13:15 that's soooo cute!!! 😀😀😀😀 However, i believe you will never tell lies to and cheat on your wife. 😞 Rather, you together will enjoy a sunshine lying on the sea beach! 😊😊 Stay blessed!

[@owelin8065]

I have lain on my new mattress for a whole day since I bought it yesterday. My hens are laying eggs for my breakfast.

[@stefaniechong9640]

1)Don't lie to me. I know what you did just now. 2) Could you please lay the food on the table, Mark? Snoring is an illness. A person who snore has higher chances of getting stroke. Please don't take it lightly. The most natural way of treatment for snoring is 'acupuncture '. The results are tremendous.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Wow! I don't snore, but I would love to get acupuncture every week. 😃😃

[@safaribadov2346]

Thanks

[@rawanddzaee783]

it's more important to be natural than to be correct , because we all learn English for communicating or watching and understanding from movies , so if native English speakers use laid we would rather use it as well.. it's not a big deal actually, but the most correct thing is like you said when we take an Exam we try to be correct we write lay and lain but if we speak with English native speakers we try to be natural we say lain and lain..

Hi ,to me it's more important to sound natural Mark. 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@lygiahuy2224]

I laid on the bed and watched Mad English TV. After that, I lay my phone on my sofa and had dinner. 😅 (To me, "laid" is more natural than "lay")

[@MadEnglishTV]

😃😃

[@rainiertroygarin3461]

I like this line "There's no hope for this world" LOL! I have laid on the beach and the Chicken have lain eggs...LOL!

[@fatimahaidary5467]

Your video is great and your sound is real about snoring. I think that saying to some one that who are yawning to sleep it gets yawning to myself. Is it right? Your video is great and funny I love it thanks teacher a million 😃😃😃

[@MadEnglishTV]

😃😃

[@Mishew55]

Dear Mark In fact I learn english to enable me speaking with native english people so it is most important to speak like native speakers even it is grammaticaly wrong

[@yanissub]

Non native speakers is better to be correct than natural when use English language. Firstly, they may loose points when sit for exams and secondly you never know who is the interlocutor.

[@cressolguin]

thank teacher Good Bless you 🌻🌻

[@bateraasuman9202]

Its important to be corrected

[@bijalprajapati3880]

Sir pls explain the word " however".. "how ever"

[@loveneverfails2024]

This's really confusing but finally I got it I like your own way of explanation that much easier than the others, So I have a question (the verb Survive) I'd like to understand and learn more about it especially when it comes in 👉 (she is survived by her loving), What does this phrase mean? thanks in advance

[@MadEnglishTV]

"She is survived by her lover" means that she died, but her lover is still living.

[@gerardgg5315]

Very useful and interesting lesson. Well done. I would lie if i would Say that i was lying on the ground when i watched this great vidéo. What do you think ?

[@MadEnglishTV]

Great sentence! 😃😃

[@techtalks4652]

[@mohammedbeghidja3409]

Yes I'm experiencing from snoring I hope to recover.

[@shaminanaaz7083]

The hen usually layes more eggs in winter.

[@ashaocean7431]

I snore a lot, when I fall asleep. It’s very bad for heart. Doctor recommends, I have to use sleep apnea machine. Machine is very expensive but it’s worth it.

[@abdeladam8421]

It important to be more properly, that better

[@angelochecklightgurova3981]

Usually people snore when they have heart diseases. Keep in mind and visit a doctor in case you snore

[@nguyenloi2908]

Thank you so much, Mark. I just looked up to dictionary. I find out that lie is intransitive verb and lay is transitive one. To speak naturally is important to me. Have you ever laid anyone?

[@ohiopines14]

I snore. It's true. I snored so loud that it shook our roof and upset our neighbors. They're so mad at me that they throw eggs and bacon on our house that I collect in the morning for my breakfast meal. :D NaaaH!! That is just a lie! I'm really not good at lying. The truth is , I always have a nice and quiet sleep as I lay comfortably on my bed. :)

[@brycegroening13]

🤣🤣

[@MadEnglishTV]

Lol, that's hilarious! You might not be a good liar, but you're a funny liar! 😃😃

[@ohiopines14]

Right, that is funny! I wonder what's come over me that I made that statement😂 I laugh on my own lies!!! Happy flurry day to you!😊

[@ohiopines14]

Bryce Groening 😂😂. Have a nice day!

[@user-jg2gw7hq9c]

I only learn correct grammar and don't care if it sounds natural but someday i'll speak English naturally even if i have to make mistakes of grammar!

[@mashkhuranumonova1998]

I don’t snor never!😄

[@lucianadejesusinacio9392]

I was listening to the song "cry" from Doyle Bramhall II that says "...can I lay my body down?..." In this case, the verb is lay down, isn'it?

[@MadEnglishTV]

Yes, you're right! "Lay yourself down" means to put your body down. Haha

[@betosaud]

Would you mind teaching us about plurals? Everyone IS/ARE...? People IS/ARE...? Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

[@MadEnglishTV]

Okay! 😃😃

[@thomascatification]

Everyone is. --> "Everyone" is singular People are. --> "People" is plural

[@farnazmohammadi1292]

This lesson reminds me of the song: lay your hands on me👨‍🎤

DARN youtube! It suggested me a number of videos and I chose yours. I do not know why??? We often do something we can not explain why. But I know that when I saw this video of yours, I wanted to watch more of your videos. Because you are simple THE BEST! Your voice is like a "balm" - so soothing. You lived in other countries, but did you live in other provinces rather than Alberta? I belong to the 10% of your viewers, the ones that on the "bottom" of your chart. I know you are very pleased about that group of people. I got a personal question for you. Were you born that way and therefore decided to become a teacher? Or they groom students in college to become perfect teachers?

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks so much! 😃😃Actually, I'm not a teacher. I discovered this passion later in life. I studied business in college. I have lived in BC and Manitoba as well. Where are you from?

[@wicker1234]

I am from Ukraine (without the)😧. I have been living in Canada for the last 24 years. Now I live in NB.
