if you walk away you walk down the street most of the time. the rest is hair splitting. walk up to SOMEBODY is different. why waste your breath explaining nearly perfect synonyms? take off and lift off are only different when lift off is transitive. you must be strong to lift off a container/
BE used to is correct vs. used to. you're somewhat repetitive. what is an average modal verb? you can't be a little pregnant. the verb is either modal or not modal. modal verbs make a special group morphologically distinct from other verbs.

@majeds1422Sir, as a non native English language learner, it is difficult to use your video clips .If i were you, I would adopt another attitude
Using 14-minute clips at mostπ
Native speakers of English also struggle with prepositions. An annoying trend is "speak on" referring to speaking out on a topic. We have substituted politeness over correct English grammar. We need to be careful about who we imitate, especially if the person is famous or successful .
Not everyone has received the same QUALITY of education hence the ubiquitous bad English grammar everywhere in these United States.
No offense to anyone, but the United States should only allow English-speaking immigrants into this country. I find there are fewer disputations among citizens when they all speak the SAME language.
@BestitwestReally amazing teaching!
@katherinehuang4416I.e.= id est (that is); e.g.=exempli gratia (for example). Both come from Latin.

@116AuroraDriveI got one incorrect. "We wanted to sit at the front of the plane", I said, "We wanted to sit in the front of the plane"
@d33zknots88I definitely have a long road to go, but it's better late than never, I'd never gone to school, and I grew up in too much ignorance, I'm not to be crying here, but more than anything it's because of my experience of life, it has been not too much in the prosperous side even that I have so many useful skills, certainly that should be enough, but I have come to the realization that I'm constrained by my communication skills, so I thank you for sharing all your knowledge, it is are very needed to many people.
@AtjavsThanks for explaining to us these confusing words, learning when and how to use them . thanks a million times.
@LettaMoholane-og6pxThanks so much,i have learned a lot.π
@vanelletchouka7372Hi Wes. I want to ask, if I say" We met when we were in school", does it mean that we were students at the same school? And if I say" We met at school", does it mean that we were not students? We might be parents of students who went to the same school or we might be the guests/visitors of the school.
I compare those sentences with these sentences " I was in hospital", means that I was a patient receiving medical treatments. And "I was at the hospital", means that I was a guest visiting my uncle.
I'm confused. Please kindly enlighten me. Thank you.
Your video just came up on my feed, and I got glued in. Thank you ππΌ learned quite a lot πππππ
@reginaroberts6734Great video! Would you happen to have another one of these with more specific challenging words? Such as the adjectives βprosaicβ vs. βpedestrianβ?
Btw has anyone said you kinda look like Luke Skywalker? Haha not roasting I promise
When you mentioned the set of words sees, seas etc, how about cease? Can that be part of that group of homonym words?
@luciapeimbert4783Wes, can you teach us when to use will and when to use going to? Maybe you already have a lesson explaining the differences. Thank you
@luciapeimbert4783Every time I watch one of your videos I always feel as if I hardly know any English. π’.
The good news is that I don't want to give up on learning more and more Emglish
Thank you very much for your excellent lesson.
@angelicayepez9034Excellent π
@patriabatista5229Thank you Wes!
@jkirkland3189For me it's
- recurring vs recurrent
- constraint vs restraint
- continuous, continued, continual and continuing.
- concise vs succinct
- skillful vs skilled
- unsettling vs disturbing
For most foreigners, it's hard to spot the difference as it is subtle.
I dont think between and among is confusing. However, among and amongst.. that's something i should look into
