Jaime!!! You legend! Thanks for the kind words. I hope you're doing well.

[@ndrmkhn6559]

I am too old to take any English exams, but I watch your videos not only because they're enjoyable, but also just in hopes of enhancing my language skills. Sorry, no inversions here :)

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

No need to take an exam and no need to use inversion 🙂 And I'm glad you find my videos useful!

[@DAG_M]

Well. In my eyes you are not too old for anything. Just give it a try :D if you'd really like to.

[@normaflores3920]

Great video, my life changed ever since I found your videos, thank you so much!

Thanks! Hugs from Brazil.

[@laco9814]

Thank you Ben, really useful video! It certainly helped me alot, because in my honest opinion, this part of the exam is the trickiest.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes, it's generally considered to be one of the trickiest. I'm glad you found the video useful

[@fleurblanche7642]

This puts the strain to the learner's knowledge to his utmost ability but it is possible The proof I have Just done it correctly and the most simple solution is the correct one

[@turicoppola9815]

As usual, terrific lesson Ben! Thank you! When will your advanced grammar course come out? Have a good day!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

I hope to release the grammar course before the end of the month. It's taking longer than I expected

[@Rosalinda-jv3si]

[@katarzynaszadkowska1699]

[@wadimwadimow5439]

That’s exactly the exercise I wanted to get explained, thank you Sir. Actually, do I need to read as lot as I can to get this done or not?

[@edilsonluizpereira2421]

Hello Ben! I did the C1 exam last July and I got 192 scores (Speaking paper), 183 (writing paper) and 160 (Use of English), however I found much difficult to manage my time in the Listening and Reading Paper, so I had to make a guess in many questions. I didn't pass in the exam but I am happy with my scores in Speaking and Writing papers. I used many expressions and tips you taught us. Thanks for everything!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Great job! Congratulations! I'm glad my videos helped 🙂

[@user-mk8sr5ph4z]

I am confused about what exam should I take C1 or ILTLS to study master's degree Which one is easier?

[@khalidmohammed7720]

Thank very much

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Not at all 🙂

[@user-cc2ux9ew1r]

Ben, pleasure to have you popping in. How is your cockney old man? Did you know that we used to hear bow bells in quiet Sundays morning in casablanca, when the wind is blowing from north? Does that makes me a nautty cockney geezer?

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

No, it most certainly doesn't!

[@catherineavagimyan1773]

Thank you, Ben for this useful video. I am taking the computer-based exam and I was wondering whether I need to write part 2, 3 and 4 answers using capital letters or not.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

No, you don't need to write in capital letters in the computer-based exam. I recommend you use the sample tests on the Cambridge Assessment English website to practise with the platform before taking the exam.

[@oksanatishchenko2812]

Like 👍

😃

[@TheDevilik]

I remember that when I was studying my B.A in English we called this section of our standardized tests "transtornations". Lol.

[@AAA.522]

9:13 would: “despite this, it” be marked as correct?

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

No. The response sentence wouldn't have the same meaning as the lead in sentence

[@johannmelet3237]

Hello! Great video but I have a question: for the last one, your response is "there is no way telling",. In my mind I thought "there is no way to tell", is it also correct grammatically? Thanks.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes, that would be grammatically correct. (Of course, in the exam, you can't change the key word)

[@erikas.6790]

I noticed that writing often on my phone I count a little too much on the word suggests and even if I know the word in my head without the suggestion I could get the spelling wrong, how can I avoid that?

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

I recommend you practise writing with pen and paper and check your spelling when you have finished.

[@cyan_1871]

I'm an ug student from india and which english exam do you suggest for USA, CAE or IELTS OR TOFEL?

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

For the US, TOEFL is more useful.

[@nicolepriori6765]

Hi Ben, thanks for your brilliant videos. Would you consider synonyms: Maggie didn’t mind keeping an EYE/putting an EYE on her children? And again: Joanna apologised to her friend for HAVING turned/showed up so late at the party. It’ll be very helpful to know whether the examiners will consider them correct or wrong. Thank you 😘

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

The first example would be incorrect because "put an eye on someone" isn't a common phrase in English and isn't a synonym of "Keep an eye on." The second example would be correct if you wrote "shown up"

[@nicolepriori6765]

@@tothepointenglishwithben. thank you for answering

[@jeffersonaraujoelcristiano]

B2 is called FCE.

[@Yamayorya]

I would've written DESPITE OF IT

[@user-cc2ux9ew1r]

You couldn't make us a little lesson about when and how to use : Ought to. Could you? I'll assure you to be a follower and friend for life time.😂

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

I'll see what I can do, Freddie 🙂

[@user-cc2ux9ew1r]

I can see, you can do it 😂🤣😀

[@rymahaoues]

There is no possibility of telling how long this job will take. is this correct?

[@manuelgordillo520]

despite the fact that the script. there is no chance of telling this job will take

[@user-bh2yv8en3x]

shouldn't it be "despite the fact that it"? without "it" this seems a little strange to me... :)

[@user-bh2yv8en3x]

ahhh, it is :D

[@mariaradulovic3203]

Yeah....this is f-ed up.
