The way of your teaching is awsome....you worth more subscriber.....i have one request to you that please make video on auxilary and main verbs.
Thank you very much! I think my lesson called 'Questions' would cover the auxiliary verbs for all the tenses with different main verbs. You may want to watch that.
I really appreciate your work, this video is brilliant and incredible. Thanks a lot my favorite teacher.

Very useful video Dear Teacher ......
Thank you!
You are a great teacher
Thank you very much!
It was awesome. I really appreciate that.❤️🌺
I have a question.
Is it wrong to say I usually don't go instead of I don't usually go?
Thank you! Grammatically, 'usually' must go before the main verb, but this rule is not always followed by native speakers.
Great teach, ma am thank you very much
My pleasure!

Great job
Thanks a lot, Rukhsana!
09:51 - should the adverb be placed directly after the the verb 'to be'? 'He is often not at his desk.'?
I would put it after the negation: He is not often ....

Very fabby and akamai .
Teacher please bring more like this .
Very nice love you .sometimes I'm very confused where to put adverbs.
Hey, thanks, for the video. I've a question, In Section exception you told that The previous adverbs we looked come after the verb 'to be' even when to be is the main verb,, but here is the thing ,, in previous examples I couldn't find any where to be is before adverb, could you please tell which 'Previous adverb' about you are mentioning here, thanks
Look for examples in the Continuous tense, where 'to be' is the auxiliary verb:
I'm also expecting an apology.
I'm also angry.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks. but look
I'm also expecting an apology.
Isn't the verb expecting is the main verb here? Or lets say how to determine main or aux. verb
@@AngloLinkEnglish Like here
I'm also expecting an apology.
I'm is main and aux. verb at the same time? I think I gout confused
@@AngloLinkEnglish May be you are referring the adverbs as previous if you have another video about adverbs?
Hi Nu, how come has to can be a main verb while the word clean is there in the sentence, i like your teaching style by the way and all your lessons are really helpful. Thankyou !!!
You're very welcome.
'have to' is not a modal verb; it's the first main verb. Therefore, the adverb should come before it. It would be the same with any other main verb that is followed by a second verb: We both decided to quit.
Of course, if you really want to stress the second verb, you can put your adverb before it: We decided to both quit. However, this is not the most common way of structuring the sentence and only works in certain cases.
Anglo-Link i think, i got it now. Thanks!
Minoo, please tell me if I used the adverb correctly in this sentence: "You look great, either with black hair or with gray hair."😀 Thank you for the lesson. Amazing as always. God bless.
Thank you very much, Luigi, for both compliments!
If you're referring to 'great', yes, that's perfectly correct. We should use an adjective (great) rather than an adverb because 'look' in this context is a sense verb, not an action verb.
Once again thank you so much
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for your help 👍 it really the best 🍁
You're very welcome, Rabia!
Thank you mınoo,another great work as usual.

Thank you very much, Lucas and Ahmad!
Thank you.💕🌷
You're welcome.
Really outstanding Ma'am. Thank you so much. Would you please clarify the 7th question? What if we say 'We both are fond of seafood' instead of 'We are both fond of seafood'? Doesn't 'both' come after subject, ma'am? I even heard one of my friends say it comes after the subject, ma'am.
Thank you!
As far as I know, 'both' comes before the main verb except with the verb 'to be'.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks a lot ma'am. God bless you
Thank you!
It's been very interesting.
I have a question please.
I want to ask you about "as well" and "too" ... What is the right position for them within the sentence ?
You're very welcome.
At the end of the sentence: Jill is happy too / as well.
If you want to stress the subject, you can put 'too' after it: Jill too is happy.
I just got clarified. Thank you, madam.
You're very welcome.
It help lots
Great!
Very Nice and thanks.
You're very welcome.
good job. thanks
You're very welcome.
Hi ma'am..
I love your videos. They have been very helpful for me in my English learning journey.
I have a request, ma'am. Could you please tell me the usage of the word "only"? It can be placed before any parts of speech when we want to emphasise it, am I right, ma'am?
Thank you! I'm glad my lessons have been helpful to you.
Yes, the neutral position is before the main verb, but if you want to emphasise a specific element, you can put it before that element.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks for the reply, ma'am.
When we place it before a main verb, it will modify the verb alone, won't it?
Maybe so, but the message stays the same. There's no difference other than emphasis between 'I've only seen this movie once.' and 'I've seen this movie only once.'
@@AngloLinkEnglish But, I heard that using only before different parts of speech can change the whole meaning of a sentence as we stress the word for emphasis when we speak it.
E.g. *Only I* saw her in the park.
I *only saw* her in the park.
I saw *only her* in the park.
I saw her *only in the park*.
These four sentences don't mean the same, do they?
Great video teacher thanks so much
Aparecido FERREIRA VAIS How many channels do you watch to learn English?
You're most welcome.
Thanks
You're welcome, Elahe!
Great work dear Teacher , Thank you. I have a small query ,
"The items A and B are both cheap" or "The items A and B both are cheap". Please explain what is the correct one
You're very welcome.
The first sentence is correct: Adverbs go after the verb to be'.
Thank you very much for your reply and resolved my query
I just wanted to ask, which one of the two versions on this topic is right. I found it confusing. You have two videos about this object and the order is a little bit different, but well, it's something that is basic. thank you
Go with this version. The reason they're different is that the position of 'how' depends on what it describes and how it's formulated. My 'how' examples in this video are more common ones.
Thank you for your great efforts.
You're very welcome.
It really helped
Excellent!
Thank you so much
You're very welcome.
Great.... 😍
Thank you!
Thank you again!
My pleasure!
Thank you

Dear Anglo link
First of all, I really want to thank you for share these usefull videos . I can't understand (future tenses in the past) would you please share a vedio about that
You're most welcome. I've made a note of your request.
Thank you for this very informative video, can you do a video of common English words that we mostly mispronounced? If you only have a free time. Thank you again.
You're very welcome. I've made a note of your request.
I APPRICIATE YOU ONCE AGAIN MINOO,

very effective class mam
Many thanks!
At 2:02 "We often have to remind him."
How "have to" is main verb here? If it is, then what is "remind" in this sentence?
Yes, 'have to' is an ordinary verb, and therefore the main verb in this sentence. 'remind' is the second verb in its base form.
I got everything correct 'till the exercise 14, I don't understand why never goes before "have to", does that mean adverbs that express a negative state go before the auxiliary/modal verb and the main verb? sorry if I got it wrong!
'have to' is not a modal verb. It's an ordinary verb, like 'want' or 'try'. So, you can put your adverb before it unless you want to stress the second verb.
Hello, Is it right that in a negative sentence the word "never" should always be put after the subject (she) just asking because the next sentence you have mentioned is after the LV. Still tricky for me. Thank anyways.
It would be more accurate to say that 'never' goes before the main verb, so if there's an auxiliary or a modal verb, it will not be after the subject:
She has never done it.
She can never do it.
Mam you have made another video as well in which you have shown word order different altogether...so which one is correct...mam could you plz tell us...???
The 'Adverbs' video just completes the information in the first 'Adverbs' video. There's no contradiction.
The 'Word Order in Statements' video puts the 'how' in different places. This is because of the type of 'how' I've chosen. Go with the second video.
Plz could u explain all the functions of part of speech. I study part of speech in a university, but the supervisor does not have good explainantions.
I haven't got a lesson on that topic, but you can watch my colleague James here: th-cam.com/video/SceDmiBEESI/w-d-xo.html
Many thanks. Moroccan professors have not good expreience to make their student good at understanding part of speech.
I understand all about part of speech but my problem is ; I do not even know how to identify english sentences. "Function of words such as, complement, comp of prepositions, adjectaival.... and so on . You see what i mean
Yes, I see what you mean. I suppose it's a question of practice. I suggest you look for 'Part of Speech' exercises, and keep doing them until you become good at identifying them. I may do a lesson on this topic, but not at the moment as I am working on my new EZEE series.
@@AngloLinkEnglish ok gorgeous this is what I mean. Plz could u make all about category and function of the part of sprech. If I say
I live in Chicago. How can I ident... it and how I can distinguish between : object of preposition, subject complement, adjectival, adverbial, adjent by the way passive voice if i say Ahmed gave a fmower to Marry or A flower was given to Marry by Ahmed.... I hope to appreciate that, cz am not a native speaker. ❤😇🙏
i really need a video about changing a verb into a noun and into an adjective plz anglo iam gonna wait for it
I've made a note of your request, but it will take a while for me to do a lesson on this. I'm sure my YT colleagues have done good lessons on this topic.
Thanks.Every videos you provided always have the greatest contents.(Is this corrected to use?)
I found this sentence in my daughter's notebook to use adverb and teacher checked it's right.
"The sun shone bright through the window"
Generally "bright" can be adjective or adverb and it 's adverb of manner.
In this case we have complement at the end with "through the window".
Should we bring adverb before verb like this "The sun brightly shone through the window"?
And sometimes it's very hard to choose what adverb or synonym to be used with this situation.
(Could we use brightly instead of bright that all both are adverb ?)
And in case of short sentence (without complement), Could we either say "The sun shone bright" or "The sun shone brightly" ?
:-)
'brightly' is correct in all cases, and it can go after or before the verb.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks for response.
Dear Teacher
I wonder if you could help me with that question
What type of intonation does request and suggestion take?
Thank you very much 🌷
Direct request (could you ../ will you ... etc.): Rising intonation because it's a question.
Suggestion: Falling intonation.
Anglo-Link thanks a lot
Truly you are the best
🌷
You're welcome, Mohammed!
Anglo-Link not exaggerateing when I say you are among the few who deserve respect and appreciation
All the best for you
Thank you for your kind words, Mohammed! Highly appreciated.
