Hello teacher, My boss made me get more work at the weekend. I hated him a lot. My mom let me free when I do all the housework. thank you very much.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Nice job! A few corrections, though: 'My boss made me DO more work on the weekend' and 'My mom let me GO OUT after I did all the housework'. Keep up the good work, Nguyen The Hoang!

Hey Andrew how is it going? I would appreciate if you could make a phrasal verbs lesson using the word STEP, I've heard sentences on shows and programs and I really want to learn those with you, your explanations are so easy to follow and understand. hope you can make this lesson thanks a lot for all.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Great suggestion! I'll put it on my list of lessons to film. Thanks!

[@rogeriodossantos6746]

Maple Leaf ESL thanks you too Andrew

[@lonaloma7917]

Thank you .

[@mapleleafesl6162]

My pleasure!

[@dinhtaimai5137]

May I aske you a question about Let? Let Mary go or Let Marry goese. It makes me so confused. Thanks for your help!

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Nice question. Only 'let Mary go' would be correct.

[@nohahaggag]

You are the best. Sending you love and light from Egypt 🤍🕊

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Thank you! Right back at you!

[@msaleemodho6555]

Can we use tenses in causitive verbs ?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

We sure can. For instance: I made my sister clean my room...I'm making my sister clean my room...I'm gonna/I'll make my sister clean my room.

Hi Andrew. I wanna make subtitle for your video, but it seems in INACTIVE setting. If you don't mind, you may change the setting so anyone can contribute by providing good subtitle for your video.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Hello there, do you mean just for this particular video? I have to turn on community settings for each individual video so, with over 100 videos to date on my channel, that would take me a while.

[@bukusakufarter]

Sure, no problem. I'll make subtitle for this video first, it takes usually one day. Then my draft needs to be reviewed by you. If you are okey, finally you can approve and publish it.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Okay, I just did it. Thanks.

[@bukusakufarter]

Hi Andrew, it's done! Please check it. I noted some points here: 1) I omitted some words (ex right, okey, so) to maintain reading speed at around 21 characters/sec. So the subtitle is in a good readability and less distraction. 2) Please review the draft, and if you are okey, you may approve and publish it. I like watching your video. I hope I can work to make subtitle for other your videos.

[@prabhanijayamalika736]

Really clear... thank you

[@mapleleafesl6162]

You're welcome!

[@nawarnawar5822]

Hii, again excellent explanation. But can i say ? for example : (she made me grazy ) as an expression of negative things .or ( she made me optimistic ) as an expression of positive things . I mean ( make + person + adj )

[@mapleleafesl6162]

I would say the following expressions like this: 'she drives me crazy' and 'she brings out the best in me'. In answer to your question, yes.

[@zainabhussaini7834]

Would you mind making her polish my shoes? Sir How to change thiss?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

I would probably say 'would you mind asking her to/having her polish my shoes'.

[@nohisocitutampoc2789]

It’s quite weird a guy with tie in KZbin but I have to say that he is efficient.

[@tabishkhan9843]

Great

[@mapleleafesl6162]

thank you

[@priyankabhardwaj694]

If we want to make these causative sentences in passive form...then what would be the sentence structure ....plz reply

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Great question! When using causative verbs in the passive voice, we generally only use 'have' and 'get' (be sure to check out the video I made called 'Causative verbs with 'have' and 'get'). So the sentence, "I had the doctor check my eyes" would become "I had my eyes checked (by the doctor)" in the passive voice. Similarly, the sentence "I got my mother to prepare my lunch" would become "I had my lunch prepared (by my mother)". Hope this answers your question!

[@priyankabhardwaj694]

Maple Leaf ESL ...Thanks a lot

[@smartstar7710]

Hi! Thanks for the useful lesson!!! I have one question for you. Can we use this structure " make + me + V ing" and why, where?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Usually when you want this structure in a progressive tense, the 'ing' goes on 'make'. So, for instance, 'He's been making me clean his room'. Hope this helps!

[@smartstar7710]

@@mapleleafesl6162 Thank you very much!!!

[@gregorioespinola1564]

Hoy often do you release your videos? They are useful.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

For the time being, I have stopped releasing videos. So sorry. There are nearly 200 videos on my page you can check out though.

[@gregorioespinola1564]

Thank You. Have a nice week. Greetings from Argentina.

[@royaldebnath3808]

Sir, Make + Person + Base form . But, Make + Thing + ................?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Regardless of the object used in the middle (person or thing), you would still use a base verb. Great question!
