[@daniarabadzhov]

Is 'war' an uncountable or a countable noun?

[@MrSkypelessons]

www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/war

[@daniarabadzhov]

I acted on your advice and had already checked the OED before asking the question. Even after consulting the dictionary, I'm still hazy about the whole thing since you've written 'cause A war' on the board (it may well be a matter of context I reckon) and would greatly appreciate your guidance. :)

[@MrSkypelessons]

Look carefully. It is both. See my lesson on articles kzbin.info/www/bejne/hne0fnRvqNmXick

[@DamizinhoBr]

According to your videos it seems like you have a dictionary in Your head hahah can't stop watching it

[@ernesto9180]

@ 3:15 -- Sir, I believe it's BECAUSE OF THE BAD WEATHER we won't hava that picnic, NOT THANKS TO (the bad weather). This is due to the fact that BECAUSE is associated with negative/regrettable implications/ramifications. Accordingly, we may safely say Thanks to the good weather, we managed to have that picnic we couldn't organize last week because of that nasty rain.

[@MrSkypelessons]

+c popa We can (and do) use 'thanks to' say say we disapprove of someone/something. I found the following example in the Cambridge dictionary. 'The ​baby is ​awake thanks to you and ​your ​shouting.' But Oxford has some more! www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/thanks-to

[@daniarabadzhov]

According to all ditionaries I've checked 'consequence' is pronounced /ˈkɒntsɪkwənts, ˈkɒntsə-/ but Dave pronounces the -ence with an open [ɛ] as in 'bed' instead of a schwa [ə] as in 'about' which is supposed to be the American pronunciation according to dictionaries...Why is that? Perhaps because of American influence? :) :D

[@MrSkypelessons]

Are you suggesting I have an American accent?!!? Personally, I think this is how we pronounce it in Essex.

[@daniarabadzhov]

Certainly not! :D :D :D Goes to show you should never be dogmatic when it comes to accents.Thanks for the quick reply. :)

[@daniarabadzhov]

However, I recently read a BBC article about the influence of AmE on BrE pronunciation. They gave the changing pronunciation of words such as 'schedule', 'lieutenant' and 'advertisement' as prominent examples and suggested that younger BrE speakers may not even be aware of the change. This is a bit baffling to me as a learner of English since I'm not sure whether to rely on the transcriptions provided by dictionaries or the natives I've listened to when there is a discrepancy in the information from both sources. Have to constantly stay on guard so that I don't beget raised eyebrows and laughter with an unusual pronunciation when I visit Britain (we'll see about that after the Brexit though :( )

[@MrSkypelessons]

daniarabadzhov As a big supporter of Brexit as well as a vociferous opponent of the EU project, I can promise I won't laugh at your pronunciation. :)

[@daniarabadzhov]

:) Thanks for the reassurance!

[@olegmanpo3629]

Hi, teacher! You say :'The bad weather comes down to the activity on the sun'. but dictionary says: If a problem, decision, or question comes down to a particular thing, that thing is the most important factor involved. So, 'the activity on the sun comes down to the bad weather'. Is it wright?

[@DaveNicholls]

No, because bad weather on Earth doesn't cause the activity on the sun. The opposite is true. Solar activity has an effect on terrestrial weather. So, my sentence is correct, and your sentence is illogical.

[@olegmanpo3629]

Я вижу, вы понимаете русский язык, поэтому попробую спросить на русском. Ваше предложение переводится так: Плохая погода (X) сводиться (Приводит к, имеет результатом) к активности на солнце (Y). Это не логично. Другой пример: It all (X) comes down to money in the end (Y) - в конце концов всё (X) сводиться к деньгам (Y). Или вот: People talk about various reasons for the company's failure, but it all (Х) comes down to one thing: a lack of leadership (Y). У вас же "The bad weather (Y) comes down to the activity on the sun (X) " А должно переводиться так: the activity on the sun (X) comes down to the bad weather (Y). Формула должна быть такая: "Х" come down to "Y". Первое событие приводит ко второму, у вас же первое событие плохая погода, которая влияет на активность на солнце. Об этом говорят все словари Merriam-Webster, Cambridge dictionary, Oxford dictionary. Прошу извинить за такую дотошность и въедливость.

[@MrSkypelessons]

It all (Х) comes down to one thing: a lack of leadership (Y) (come down to = IS CAUSED BY) It all (X) comes down to money in the end (Y) (come down to = IS CAUSED BY) The bad weather (X)!!!!!!!! comes down to the activity on the sun (Y)!!!!!!! (come down to = IS CAUSED BY)

[@olegmanpo3629]

Тогда дело в переводе. Русские словари переводят как "сводиться к", "приходит к", а не "быть причиной". "X" приводит в итоге к "Y", так переводят наши словари. Значит, извините, вам, конечно, видно лучше.

[@virawat7408]

please sir make video on difrrences between cause and reason
