Last day during my daughter's online English class the teacher asked the students to watch videos of "The English Nut " and my daughter proudly replied that she has been already watching and following The English Nut. 👍
@@shalinibavindla498 this is just ironic lmao! I hope you did it on purpose, because it made me laugh a lot!!! (And if you did not, it is me "too" and not me to, because too means to be alike or in addition to something. {I like the English Nut too!} while to is often a preposition or adverb. {Subscribe to the English Nut}) But I have a strong feeling you did this on purpose... XD A lot of people do this too so... I'll just put this out here.
@@manishsirmour3599 the difference between "to" and "too"... I never actually correct someone's english on a normal video, but since we are here to learn english i decided to sprinkle a little bit of knowledge because these errors are very common! XD
To make the 'ee' sound in English, many words use 'ie'. Believe, relief, and field to cite as a few examples. This agreement is, however, changed when the preceding letter is 'C'. The combination then becomes 'ei'. Hence, Deceive, receive, and perceive. Exceptions to the second agreement can, however, be seen in words like seize.
Pronunciation - think of a nun 😂😂 Occasion - sion Separate - apart Definitely - nobody ate it 😂😂 Accommodation - two children, two moms Grammar - if you need good marks 😂 Independent - ants aren't independent 🤣🤣🤣 You had me in splits 😂😂🙏🙏
In school our English teacher taught us to remember "week" and "weak" as "week" is fit with both legs but "weak" is injured as it's missing a leg. I still feel for the poor "weak". :(
Too good a video. It took me back to my school days. A mnemonic that our English teacher had taught us to remember the spelling of POSSESSION is: "Possession possesses 4Ses".
I always spell committee wrong, and have to use dictionaries and theasauruses to get it right and choose an alternative respectively! Hearty thanks, English Nut!!
Those are amazing tips, Sir. I am an IELTS trainer and am seeing spelling mistakes in the Writing Tasks all the time.I just forwarded this to my students. :-)
After watching this video I remembered one funny incident that My lecturer shared with us. He used to say "privilege" is the most "unprivileged" word as many misspell it while writing.
Thank you English Nut for this amazing video. I used to get confused about the spellings of Accommodation, Independent and Separate. I often felt ashamed of myself for making these mistakes. Now I won't be .☺
Your mnemonics are too good to forget...thankyou . I have always had problem while writing the word friend, believe...etc., whether it is 'ie ' or 'ei' !!
I remember my teacher telling us that a balloon has 2 lls and 2 oos which is why it is sooo inflated. When my daughter was in LKG, I had a tough time teaching her the spellings of the months.So, I told her to think of a girl called Janu who wants to buy some ary(rice in Malayalam) :-)
People should also remember that the 'English' mode of spelling is different from the American style, and the norm goes that one should stick to one particular style, and not mix up the same. A separate video on the subtleties of the two styles would be welcome.
Love your wonderful videos. I suggest you make videos on daily use sentences ..people really like such content as it helps them become more comfortable in using the English language. For example, lingo used at workplaces, cafes, restaurants,etc. ✌🏼✌🏼
An excellent video Sir 👏👏👏 You gave us not only an insight into spellings but "diction" as well. Your simple tips and tricks go the extra mile in helping us become more confident speakers 😁
Brilliant. Formulating a successful mnemonic device is not easy and all of these are superb. I have an uneasy feeling I have been misspelling minuscule but I won't any longer.
I enjoy every Video of you. I did not know the above sentence is right. Neighbour is always misspelled by me. And also correct my sentence if it is need. Thank you English Nut
Words such as 'advise' and 'advice' are misspelled and misunderstood. Another misspelled word I can think of is 'vacuum'. Often it is misspelled as 'vaccum', or 'vaccuum'. I remember it since my high school days. Got a thrashing to misspell it. :P Wondering if anyone came across a dilemma to choose between, 'he threatened me' and 'he frightened me'. Well, calling for the attention of the nutty English professor to throw light upon the issue from his 'bard of English'-ish knowledge of free flowing English, just like his free-flowing hairs akin to the original English bard. Great work there! You are fabulous! Keep up the good work. 👍
Once during lunchtime, my colleague was showing off by telling "nobody has 'dignity of labour' in my home. We all help each other." I understood that the poor soul was trying to convey that they treat all jobs and duties with respect. Please bring out more videos on misunderstood phrases.
It's Sunday morning at 9:00 am the first video I saw was yours. I like your TH-cam videos. To the exclusion of everything else grammar part of English has always been one of my favourites . I earnestly request you to make videos on hard English grammar as well.
Loved the mnemonics suggested by you...I really get confused in dairy and diary 😝 And I find your videos lil fast paced. I literally run in my brain to grasp every single word of yours. However, I enjoy learning English with English nuts... looking forward for more 👍😇
Congrates on a great Vedio alongwith alot of good pronounciation to tips. ,,🙃🙃 Will definitely share it with my colleagues There are many words I can think of .. for Part 2 of this video Success Knowledge Communication Tomorrow February Address Pledge Etc....😁 Great Video .. hooked on to your channel
You are an intelligent and a well-read person. Most of the Bengalis and South Indians are doing great jobs in various fields. I admire you, Shashi Tharoor sir, Sunder Pichhai sir, Sudha Murthy ma'am, Dibakar Banerjee sir, Satya Nadella sir, Narayan Murthy sir, A.R. Rehman Sir and Abdul Kalaam sir. I want to get a sneak peek of these cultures. Please make a video to highlight the intellectual Bengali culture. Being a North Indian, I want to know what do you people do to brush up your knowledge.
@@TheEnglishNut No, I have not seen it yet. Now, I will explore it soon to get a glimpse of your culture. I love to learn about the rich cultures of India. Rung by rung, I want to climb up the ladder of knowledge. I am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you so much for such a nice TH-cam channel!
Thanks for yet another informative & fun video 😊👍 My memory on spellings had faded, ever since I started using smartphone shortcut texting. This video was a refresher..Appreciate!
Also, if one watches the film "Memento", they won't have trouble remembering the spelling of the word. Not to mention the fact that it's a fabulous film.
TOMORROW is one word which often makes me confused while spelling it... Difficult to remember that it has double 'R' or 'M'... Looking for a mnemonic plzz...
I didn't know that I was misspelling certain words. Alas! The autocorrect is spoiling me. I should write everyday. Thanks a lot and love your mnemonics!❤
This was wonderful and helpful video but I use to get confused in most of the spelling in which "ie" or 'ei' comes in between any word. I hope it would be very helpful for the people like me if you will make a video on this topic!
I always feel enriched and delightful to watch your videos..thanks a ton 💐 Just a small request to go a bit slow so that we can reap the maximum benefit :)
There is another tip for the words that have l and c followed by i and e For L, i follows it in the words like believe, relief, replied While for the words that have c in them, the letter e follows it immediately. For instance: Conceive, perceive, ceiling

"Never beLIEve a LIE" is the mnemonic taught by my teacher to spell "believe" correctly.
Useful!
Thanks it will be helpful for me
That's why it's always better to know than to believe blindly 😉!
To make the 'ee' sound in English, many words use 'ie'. Believe, relief, and field to cite as a few examples. This agreement is, however, changed when the preceding letter is 'C'. The combination then becomes 'ei'. Hence, Deceive, receive, and perceive.
Exceptions to the second agreement can, however, be seen in words like seize.
I remember memorizing 'together' as 'to get her'.
Pronunciation - think of a nun 😂😂
Occasion - sion
Separate - apart
Definitely - nobody ate it 😂😂
Accommodation - two children, two moms
Grammar - if you need good marks 😂
Independent - ants aren't independent 🤣🤣🤣
You had me in splits 😂😂🙏🙏
Thanks, man!
:D Hope they are helpful too!
@@TheEnglishNut hahaha yes, all the more 😂

😄
Good ideas to remember staying 'independent' from errors...
Too good a video. It took me back to my school days. A mnemonic that our English teacher had taught us to remember the spelling of POSSESSION is: "Possession possesses 4Ses".
Society/Receive/Believe/Friend- The 'ie' sounds confuse, while writing and auto correct, corrects them.
Very true
Once I was told that except (like 'society' above) for few words when we have "S" sound we get "ei" and in all other cases we get "ie".
I always spell committee wrong, and have to use dictionaries and theasauruses to get it right and choose an alternative respectively! Hearty thanks, English Nut!!
Those are amazing tips, Sir. I am an IELTS trainer and am seeing spelling mistakes in the Writing Tasks all the time.I just forwarded this to my students. :-)
Thanks for forwarding it to your students!
The way you teach is simply fascinating.
After watching this video I remembered one funny incident that My lecturer shared with us. He used to say "privilege" is the most "unprivileged" word as many misspell it while writing.
While learning writing the confusing letter in capital also helps
Thank you English Nut for this amazing video. I used to get confused about the spellings of Accommodation, Independent and Separate. I often felt ashamed of myself for making these mistakes.
Now I won't be .☺
Awesome!
Thank you so much. You've covered most of the spelling mistakes my students commonly make. And in such an interesting way!
Superb mnemonics to remember word spellings.
I think u r wonderful...
pls make part 2...
Your mnemonics are too good to forget...thankyou . I have always had problem while writing the word friend, believe...etc., whether it is 'ie ' or 'ei' !!

'Veterinary' is another word people often misspell and also mispronounce. They spell Vete(i)nary and pronounce it that way.
The nun and habit relationship was surprising in this instance ;) !
Couple more common mistakes:
1. -Fullfilled-
2. -Recieve-
3. -Souveniar-

🙏Thanks a lot Sir for saving me from misspelling the word "Rhythm" for eternity. 😊
Usefull method
One of the most useful videos on English I've watched. Thank you, English nut!
as being a Maharashtrian I used to miss pronounce the letter m as yum as it was in my local language but with practice it changed
Once during lunchtime, my colleague was showing off by telling "nobody has 'dignity of labour' in my home. We all help each other." I understood that the poor soul was trying to convey that they treat all jobs and duties with respect.

Dairy has air in it. If people with lactose intolerance may feel bloated. Now you remember.
@@MallikaRaj 👍🏼 An excellent idea to overcome the confusion about thier spellings.
Can you explain some learning tips and tricks for synonyms????

Surprising one for me was 'calendar'
I have been misspelling it as calender 😜
I feel overwhelmed every time I watch one of your videos 😁😁🙏 ❤️
Can you make a video on how to spell a word with 2 vowels together?
Nicely said, enjoyed... sharing too.
Have seen many using “upto” for “up to” and “cheif” for “chief” 😅
Upto is my pet peeve!

While for the words that have c in them, the letter e follows it immediately. For instance:

What about 'wierd'?😛
