NO DOUBT doesn't mean what you think: Advanced English grammar

In this video you'll learn how to use "no doubt" in English. It's a confusing expression because there can be doubt in no doubt: We explain with examples of usage and compare it to other ways to express certainly such as "without doubt" or "without a shadow of a doubt"

Hi Gideon Yes , without a shadow of a doubt YOU ARE A PERFECT TEACHER and I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU !!!!!

[@tabularasa7532]

Without a shadow of a doubt I have confused 'no doubt' with 'without a doubt'. Thank you for your clarification :)

[@LetThemTalkTV]

I'm glad you've got it now.

[@felipercb3245]

You're a good teacher, without a shadow of a doubt !!! 😂

[@eddieantoniomessindamico2596]

There is no doubt, your students must be happy to have a teacher like you. Thanks a lot, even though I have been teaching English since 2001, your English lessons are super useful and interesting, that's exactly what I say to my 15 students to invite them to go and visit your channel. Thank you again for your professionalism and humour.

[@luzavila5017]

Thank you. Great video.

[@milaim]

There is no doubt that the use of the verb "douter" is even more tricky, in French.

[@mihailzagorodnii2225]

👍🏻

[@edgarallanpoe1822]

There’s no doubt that most people use no doubt wrongly

[@vickypopova9993]

Without a shadow of a doubt, I will be smart cookie by constantly watching your videos even if I can't cut the mustard... Ta...

[@LetThemTalkTV]

You certainly can cut the mustard with your excellent use of English phrases

[@Takahanazawa]

I watch your videos a lot, cuz you do a good job of making me aware of distinctions in grammar and usage in my own first language; but I am frequently struck by the small idiomatic differences between British and American English. I feel like in American English, 'no doubt' covers arrange, depending on context, between 60% certain to 100% certain. I frequently use 'no doubt' to express total certainty, but on the other hand I would very rarely use without a doubt (although i would use without a shadow of a doubt)

[@briankane6547]

NOTHING to do with this video lad. I just popped in with a thought. Have you ever done one on odd "pasts"? e. g. WHY F. F. S. isn't the past tense of Seek = seeked, or buy = buyed, with others 🤔 - "no doubt? 😊

[@abhi1feb]

There is no doubt that you are very good. And I'm without doubt saying this from my heart. And No doubt that I'm going to improve my English

[@svevabloomsbury7620]

In Italian we use "senza dubbio" which also means there's actually a doubt. What's more we use "senza ombra di dubbio" which also means without a shadow of a doubt. 😊

[@БогданКостюченко-ц4о]

Thank you, Gideon! You are a gifted teacher!

[@rafaelnavarro5583]

There's no doubt this video will help many subscribers to figure out the actual meaning of 'No doubt' since no doubt many of them (me included) have used it mistakenly. Without doubt, you've done a great job by releasing this video, Gideon. On top of that, without a shadow of a doubt, this is one of the best English KZbin channels I've ever seen. Cheers!

Another excellent video! The quarantine gives me a lot of time at home so I’m watching more and more of your videos, I have to say that they are an addiction to me.

[@FallenAngelTeam]

*Hey Gid,great tip!I didn't know that.Would you can explain ''Literally'' too?*

[@LetThemTalkTV]

"literally" is a controversial word. Even native speakers can't agree on the correct usage.

[@FallenAngelTeam]

Ok.Would you can make a video lesson about it?

[@LetThemTalkTV]

It's a good idea, let me think about it. Though I've literally got a million things to do right now (is that correct or not?...perhaps not).

[@FallenAngelTeam]

hmmm...

[@Owlandpie]

One can also say "undoubtedly" :)

[@purpleanex]

indubitably...

[@Gookrak]

Can one use "verily" instead :) ?

[@vinipuhja]

[@elizabethcaiado4344]

i like very much your videos. thanks

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Glad you like them thanks!

[@capuano3d]

Hiya teacher, can 'I doubt' be used with the same meaning as 'no doubt'? Cheers and great job

[@LetThemTalkTV]

It has the opposite meaning. "No doubt he'll want breakfast in the morning" means "I think he'll probably want breakfast...." "I doubt he'll want breakfast" = I think probably not....maybe because he doesn't normally eat breakfast.

[@capuano3d]

Great it's clear now, thank you so much

[@LetThemTalkTV]

You're welcome

[@lechugabriel4855]

I´m sorry but Crintiano Ronaldo is the best soccer player without a shadow of doubt

[@eduardoa.rebollartellez6578]

He didnt say Messi was the best, he said, he is one the best of his generation.

[@yesican8196]

No doubt you are one of the best .👌
