My name is Steve Ford and today I have two great questions from Silvia living in the USA and Mateus from Argentina so let's get started.
First off, no one, including you Silvia should feel embarassed about having certain "gaps" in your English grammar. It happens!
even if you are at an advanced level
So Silvia, you have problems with this grammar topic and suprise, suprise, so do many of my students
Now I am going to condense all of my teaching experience and give you some precious tips to know how to use "either" and "neither".
When we agree with something that someone has said, we use neither, either or so. We could say
When a person says something in the negative form the auxiliary is visible and it's easy to find
the cat and dog said, "I DON'T enjoy going to the vet.
So using either or neither is easy, remember that we use neither at the beginning and the auxiliary must match with the subject so
Neither do I or I don't either Neither does he/she or he/she doesn't either
So if you get stuck, as many English learners do, you need to change the sentence to a question to find the auxiliary
this is the process, this is the secret
I like action sports, now make it into a question, do I like action sports?
you found it, "do"
Many people learning English get confused with certain verb tenses like
first, turn it into a question to find the auxiliary
then you have the auxiliary "am"
Hello Mateus and Ola Argentina!
I have made many videos talking about how native speakers of English link words together to talk fast
now this all started exactly a year ago this month in Learn English Live 15
I'm the first to admit that I had to "wake up" to the fact I was fat and "stop eating" so much, that's it.
two words, side by side and here is how I said them
well getting back to my dieting from last year, diet's, ya love'em or ya hate'em
and let me tell you that last February I was not a happy camper( I was not a happy person)
I literally had to put a lock on that fridge of ours to sop eating so much
So here's two more
then of course as if dieting wasn't enough I was on an elliptical machine at least 5 times a week, no joke!
I kept thinking next year, I'll reach my goal of losing 30 pounds
and my body kept saying to me: feed me, could you give me some food?
last two
Well everybody enough said about my dieting adventure
I must say it's nice to touch my toes and not feel like I am carrying a huge bag of potatoes around my waist
I guess I should be off to the gym and I hope that my tips can bring you one step closer
to speaking and learning English fast
Bye for now!
