[@zoltankaroly-zp9iw]

Hi Kat and Mark! First of all thanks for the useful videos. In my opinion a summary the most used tenses would be nice for most of us.Grammar could be scary to every learners.

[@highlevellistening]

Interesting idea, thanks for sharing

[@amadougordiodiallo8367]

Watching you from Gabon and I really appreciate your helpful videos

[@highlevellistening]

[@girlyranasinghe345]

I used to watch T.V. but now I am addicted on you tube especially, your channel. these lessons are addictive. Is this write? And the other thing is we use ads for commercial break. like Mr. Mark Thank you dears and wish you all the best.

[@highlevellistening]

Glad you enjoy it 😊 Thanks so much for your lovely message - and yes it is grammatically correct to say "addictive" there :)

[@marinaterrosi885]

As a kid there were only a few channels available whereas today with all the streaming platforms available I can just binge watch the TV series I' m into in one go. I watch a lot of TV ...for sure. Not the actual, normal TV, live broadcast.

[@highlevellistening]

It was the same for me when I was younger. If you plugged in a TV in the UK, you got just 5 channels. It also meant that everybody was probably watching the same TV show every evening and then could talk about it the next morning, but now all my friends and family are watching shows I've never even heard of!

[@charanjit9350]

I’m from USA

[@choutriki5094]

Very interesting episode as always thank you so much … my English is every day better ! Keep going please ❤❤❤

[@highlevellistening]

We’re so happy to hear that thank you so much for all of your hard work!!

[@xiangyugao4901]

Hey Mark and Kat, I love your videos very much! Could you provide some lessons about Job Interview? I think, this kind of lesson will be very popular for the english learners❤

[@highlevellistening]

Great suggestion, we'll keep that in mind for a future video

[@rosanacardoso8046]

Very 👍 good

[@highlevellistening]

Thank you!

[@slo2112]

I usually choose movies over tv shows. because I don't really like watching something that goes on for too many episodes. That's why I prefer watching movies that I can finish in one sitting.

[@highlevellistening]

I definitely understand, sometimes I don't have time to sit and watch lots of episodes or get too invested in something, just something quick and easy and 90 minutes, haha

[@ceyhunmehdiyev357]

I came running again like always❤

[@highlevellistening]

So good to see you again!

[@Morocco_Entire]

For sure. 👍

[@ahmadfitness7223]

•Blow through •binge through •in one go• in one sitting • flick over • double screen • have it on • rewind I love watching TV, especially TV shows. At least it does not need to look it so closely and hurt our eyes that much:) though , often I am watching them again by internet now :)rewinding or fast forwarding the recordings sometimes . if I like the series , I can blow through most of it in one go as well. Though to find good show is difficult to me. Sadly ,They are full of so much unnecessary staff:( I definitely won't be hard on myself that much if I use a subtitle again:)

[@highlevellistening]

Thanks so much for sharing your notes and your experiences! It's great practice! Don't feel guilty about subtitles, even native speakers struggle! 😅

[@miranda7747]

@@highlevellistening thank you! Yes, I know!:) Actually, I do not use the subtitle for other staff, not even for documentaries. But Movies are other phenomena. Like connected speech and so on maybe. It is like not English, but another language.😁and definitely needs some training or do not know what:). I watch now without subtitle to get accostom, though I like using subtitle as I can zoom in on new vocabulary .

[@dc4501]

Thanks. You even turn on substitle😂😮. Pink Floyd's song is Nobody Home: 🎶"I got 13 channels of ... on the TV-choose from". they taught having really too many alternatives😅

[@highlevellistening]

Haha yes even native speakers struggle sometimes! Especially shows like Peaky Blinders which has characters with strong accents!

[@marinaterrosi885]

I'm into the slow burn crime thrillers and I tend to binge watch TV series. I cannot help watching episode after episode. I'm also in love with epic fantasies and so far I have watched Game of thrones twice, among many other ones. Now I am reading the Song of Ice and Fire by G. R.R. Martin which the series is based on. What I promised myself is to read all the books avoiding being stuck on the unknown words, but underlining only a dozen of them per book, including the lines I love the most and up to now I managed to read the first one entitled Game of Thrones. To be sure I can get the correct pronunciation, I rely on audiobook versions so that I can read the actual words on paper while listening to them.

[@highlevellistening]

Wow thank you for writing so many great sentences! I think Kat actually did the same thing with Game of Thrones - unfortunately she is still waiting for the next book and it's been quiiite a while ha. I've heard that the audiobooks are excellent, as are the Lord of The Rings ones!

[@highlevellistening]

Haha thanks so much! ☺️

[@ryzhokhina]

Thanks for the video. Could you explain why in the following constructions “let it run’, “ let TV run” we use “run” ? Why not “runs”? Thanks:)

[@highlevellistening]

Great question! Usually when we have two verbs we’ll conjugate the first one but there’s no need to change the second. My teacher lets me read during the break. (Present) he let me read during the break (past) He lets the TV run all night. (Present) He let the TV run all night (past) Hope that helps you compare the different times we use it! ☺️

[@ryzhokhina]

Thank you!

Thank you so much!!

[@marinaterrosi885]

Is it OK to say "flicking through the remote control"? 😊

[@highlevellistening]

Almost! I think I would say: "Flicking through [channels / the TV]." Some other ones that come to mind are: "Sitting on the sofa, flicking through channels." "I was flicking through the TV one night when I came across this really interesting documentary." We didn't end up including it in the episode, but we wanted to add "channel-hopping" in here, but it's basically the same thing as "flicking through channels". :)

Have you teachers watched the British comedy called 'IT Crowd'? If not, you should. Because it is mad, just mad!🤣

I still remember Roy's face when he say that. hahahaha Thank you teachers anyway, I listen to you guys' pod cast every single day, it really is helpful and i find myself really like listening to this while i commute everyday in the morning. Big appreciation from korea!!

[@mariangelaassol1934]

What is the purpose of using "So, there's two collocations for the TB being on..." as Mark used? Instead of ... there're two collocations...

[@highlevellistening]

Good question! This is an example of a grammar rule that is broken by native speakers *very* often. A: "How many slices of bread are left?" B: "There's 3 slices left." Even though 3 and 'slices' is plural, we will use "There is". This is especially true when we use specific numbers (like in the example you mentioned.) "There's 5 bus lines that stop near my house." "There's 2 or 3 taxi numbers you can call." "There's about 17 people in my extended family." At HLL we're trying to provide you with natural and authentic English as often as we can, and that includes the little "mistakes" that native speakers make in casually spoken English. Hope that makes sense!

[@mariangelaassol1934]

Ok! Thanks a lot for the explanation!

[@shobithtube4440]

How to use distinctive and distinct

[@highlevellistening]

Good question! Both 'distinctive' and 'distinct' are adjectives, but they have slightly different meanings. 'Distinctive' means something that is characteristic or unique, making it easy to recognize. For example, 'Flamingos have distinctive pink feathers'. (Other birds don't have pink feathers, so everybody knows a flamingo when they see one). 'Distinct' means something that is clearly different or separate from others. For example, 'The two flavors of ice cream are distinct; one is vanilla, and the other is chocolate.' Hope this helps! 😊

[@WantRainbowNow]

Why don't you take advanced topics to introduce advanced vocabulary? Most of your topics are around intermediate

[@highlevellistening]

Most of our students enjoy taking their daily topics to the next level with naturally spoken English in both American and British dialects and learning it through English which increases the difficulty. Most people don’t use advanced topics in daily speaking but I’m sure we’ll eventually get there as we make videos every week ☺️
