Hello Sarah, my teacher! I am glad to see you again. I miss you and your lessons all the time. Thank you for the today lesson. It seems quite complicated to me so had to listen several times and write down all your examples and explanations from the video. The following is my answer to the last question. She sees the doctor at 3 pm today. I think verb see in this context is a stative verb that describes a statement of how thing is, it doesn't describe an action. I hope my answer is correct. See you very soon, Sarah. Take care!

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Nam, thank you as always for your positive comments. I love to get them! With regards to your answer it is in fact, "She is seeing the doctor at 3pm today." This is an action and not a state... it is like the example I give in the lesson... it is like meeting... it is an active verb in this context. I hope that helps!

[@NamNguyenVan-bz4wx]

@@oxfordenglishnow Oh my God. It's unexpected for me but I think that the sentence "She sees the doctor at 3 pm today" anyway has a meaning of itself, right? Thank you Sarah for correcting my mistake. Now I more understand that stative verbs is not simple to apply. See you very soon, my teacher. Take care.

[@joska222]

Extremely helpful! Thank you. She's seeing the doctor at 3 PM is correct (action, but I would say future arrangement).

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Absolutely, well done!

[@akshatmukundam974]

Nice explanation. I have created sentences in which I have used "for" twice and adjacent to each other.For example, This is what I have been waiting for for a long time. Or This is what I have been asking for for so long.(I just want to know if these sentences are correct.)

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Yes they look a bit strange but are correct.

[@mariamkinen8036]

Thank you. This is clear by Mr. Skype a.o.t They are concrète . Is seeing. The action of getting there by 3 o'clock

[@oxfordenglishnow]

spot on!

[@jacksonamaral329]

Good lesson.

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@akshatmukundam974]

Hello madam, I hope you are doing well. I have a question, having studied English for years, the verb that baffles me the most is "provide". Sometimes I come across "It provides you with something",whereas sometimes I hear "It provides you something( without a with )".Please tell me which one should I use?

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Akshat, you can use both. I always find the Cambridge online dictionary is useful and you are right it has many uses, with and without "with." I recommend you check it out. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/provide But always pleased to read your comments and questions! Thanks for your support!

[@rubeng2409]

Hello teacher! How are you? I hope you are well :) I have a question, may I use 'weigh' in continuous tenses? In Spanish, let's suppose it is your (my....sadly :) ) first day at the gym and the instructor ask you (me, again sadly): "what is your weight right now?" (in my country gyms hardly count with weighing machines); it is not uncommon that the answer is: "eeeh, you know, I am / will be weighing 200 lbs" (as an assumption or hypothesis). I beg for your pardon teacher if this question is a little...silly. As usual, your lessons are very helpful for me and i am really very grateful for them. Well Teacher, I wish you the best for this week and I send you a fist or elbow bump (you know, because the pandemic, I can't send you a big hug :) ).

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Guillermo, in my lesson I mention weigh. It can be both a stative and an active verb. If you say your weight, you are referring to a state, a permanent quality and therefore it cannot be used in a continuous form. So you must say, "I weigh 200 lbs." Whereas if you are doing the action of weighing something you can. The man is weighing the parcel. Thanks for the elbow bump. Right back at you! 😊

[@zahrajabeen2131]

I like tea... Is tea object here or complement... Kindly help

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Zahra, tea is the object here. This is what I found in the Cambridge Dictionary. dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/complements In clauses with linking verbs (be, seem, become), complements which follow the verb and which add information about the subject are called subject complements: Sheila is a nurse. (adding information about Sheila) Complements which add more information about an object are called object complements: He makes me very angry. (adding information about me) I hope that helps.
