Hello Jesus, All three adjectives can be used, but I would use 'angry' because it's the strongest and matches the word 'demand' better. The other two are weaker: annoyed = slightly angry upset = unhappy, disappointed

Hello Jesus, Thank you for your question, which we covered in yesterday's LIVE Q&A session. To recap: When 'people' is the plural of 'person', you must use a plural verb: These people are .... When 'people' is a synonym for 'ethnic group', then it is a countable noun, and you can say 'a people' (+ singular verb) and 'peoples' (+ plural verb). This second meaning is not commonly used. So, consider 'people' to be plural 99% of the time.

Hi everyone , That was my question on our last live session. What type of word is 'Neither' in this case? Would you like tea or coffee?’ ‘Neither, thanks. and here; Neither Oleg’s mother nor his father spoke English. see youuu

Hello Jesus, Thank you for this question. 'neither' has different functions. In your first example, it's a determiner. In your second example, it has combined with 'nor' to create a conjunction. You can find further explanation and examples in the Cambridge Dictionary, which is the reference book I usually use: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/neither Enjoy the rest of the week, and see you in our next LIVE session on Saturday.

Hello Minioo and Community, I have learned the chapter 'be doing and going to do' from the upper elementry part. While filling in the exercise Part, I realised, that I'm very unsure which time to choose in the questions phrases. As I looked back to the learning part of this chapter, I found not much information to that, except, that one can use either 'to be+ing' or 'going to' for asking somebody about their personal plans and to avoid 'will' in these questions, except when followed by an if-clause. Is there another chapter where this is being explaint in depth? Her some examples of the exercise Part, where I didn't know why the chosen tense is the correct one. -1. When do your classes start next term? -2. What time is the taxi picking you Up? -10. What time does the show begin tonight? This following exercise ist not a question, but I still could not Figuren out why simple present is the correct tense in this phrase. -4. This programme doesn't end until November. Could you please give me an explanation why the chosen tenses are the correct ones in these cases and tell me in which chapter I can find more information about this? Thanks a lot in advance and best wishes. Nana

Hello Minioo, thank you so much for your very detailed information to my questions. It helpt me quiet a bit to clear things up for me. I will watch the two lessons you recommended to this topic as well and if I still have questions after that, I will ask you in comming up Video lessons. Thanks again and have a good rest of the week. With best regards Nana

Hello Nana, Sorry for the late reply. I was away for a few days. Both sentences are correct, and there's no difference in meaning. The person may go and but one or several pairs of new shoes.

Hello Dani, Thank you for your question. It's very common for native speakers to connect the sounds /t/ & /d/ to /u:/. The speaker is saying: wha /tu:/, which is very similar to wha /du:/. That's why you think he/she is saying 'what do you'.

Hello Jesus, Thank you for your question. No, there isn't one single word that can replace 'two too'. But, because they're both pronounced in exactly the same way, and it's phonetically awkward to say 'two too', it's best to use a synonym of 'too' instead: I'd also like two. I'd like two as well.

The ‘WHAT’ part includes verb + direct object + indirect object, and we must keep these three elements together. In this case, the direct object is the question and the indirect object is for you. That’s why ‘again’ (an adverb) has come after ‘for you’. Here’s another example from Collins Dictionary: I started to feel good about myself again. You may come across examples where the indirect object has been separated from the verb, but make sure you never separate the direct object from the verb.

Thank you for posting this question, Doina! For those of you who couldn't join us yesterday, here's the recording of my answer in our live Q&A session: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14HZyo3RQ_FB8KKLnYsJ3Eu6Eam77V7n0/view?usp=share_link

Hello Mathias, An excellent question! Here's a description of each type of workshop: Sunday workshops: They involve listening to and speaking with your peers, and typing sentences in the chat box in reply to my questions. One week: Grammar Review & Practice I'm attaching the worksheet from our last session on 15th January. You receive this before the session + the link to the online lesson that we will be revising. You can revise that lesson and do the exercises before the session, or you can come unprepared to test yourself and revise the lesson after the session. In the first part of the session, you partner up with one of your peers in a breakout room, and you do the exercises together. So, in this part you're revising a topic while discussing it with another student. In the second part of the session, I take the whole group through the exercises one by one. Here, you will be listening mainly to me, and occasionally answering a question from me in the chat box. The following week: Conversation Practice (occasionally changed to pronunciation practice) I'm attaching the worksheet from our last session on 22nd January. You can prepare your questions and/or your answers before the session, or you can come unprepared if you want to speak spontaneously. In the first part of the session, you partner up with one of your peers in a breakout room. You ask each other the questions and make a note of each other's answers. In the second part of the session, you share the information you've gathered from your partner with the whole group, speaking for 1-2 minutes. Your partner shares the information he/she has gathered from you with the whole group. NEW Saturday Q&A sessions starting 18th March 2023: hey involve mainly listening to me answering questions posted in the Forum, but you can ask questions live as well. You can post any questions you have in the Q&A Forum in four categories: Grammar, Pronunciation, Vocabulary, and General. You can answer your peers' questions in the Forum (the best way to reinforce your own learning). I choose the best questions from different categories every week and answer them in detail in our Saturday Q&A session. We end each session with a quiz to see how well you remember the different points covered. Don't hesitate to continue this thread if you have any follow-up questions on what I've explained above. 47 Conversation Cars - 22 January 23.pdf 46 Negative words -15 January 23.pdf
