STOP SAYING 'STOP SAYING' is the worst title for a class. Because I could think that what I'm saying is grammarly wrong and is not the case. Thank you for understand.

[@andersonrossi1981]

Alex, as always you come up trumps buddy. I'd say that I’m fairly confident I'm gonna have more tools to ask for repetition. The way I see things, these functional languages (chunks of language) are extremelly important to connect language to real day to day English conversation. I've just remembered that in the very beginning when trying to understand its concept ), it was really mind-blowing experience. Honestly I confess, it still is. The variation, the meaning, the amount of information we have, it's a whole' nother level. Well, they'll certainly help us to achieve fluency. Thank you so much for these tips.

I have said many times that you should learn to speak English from those who live in India and learn English by speaking in Hindi. You can't learn english from youtube in western country, And you can't learn to speak English even from those who make their KZbin videos in Indian English. As you wish

💡Can you make a video on how to stop saying? "Do you understand or You understand?" After every word or sentence. This irritates me so much; my mother and people I encounter daily say it so much in a sentence. It makes me feel like I'm not comprehending. When I do🙄

[@nazzahko2135]

My dear what are you suggesting to use these phrases instead of "I don't understand" are not similar because when a person says that "I don't understand" He/She doesn't know what is the other person is saying. What you presented are wonderful phrases but are not same as "I don't understand"

[@Laacibtv2024]

I have no clue what you're saying.

[@ryanxu1718]

Mr. Alex, would you please explain how the sentence, “this is a disease that requires surgery to remove”, is composed, and particularly, whether there is an “it” omitted after “remove” and if so, how to justify this usage? I cannot find any convincing or satisfactory answers from my grammar books or dictionaries (searching online corpus for the usage of “require” also proved futile.) So I would really appreciate it if you will help.

[@sutapadey5274]

i think there should be "it" after remove. it doesn't matter in day to day english because it is implied but to be pedantic it should be "this disease requires sergery to remove it" because "the teacher requires you to remove your pen" (for example) is a gramatically correct sentence and remove is a transitive verb (it must have a noun or a pronoun after it)
