    This video is pure gold. I have been studying English for nearly 40 years, and no teachers explained to me how to use to or for properly to make sentences using them correctly... I had to learn it on my own by listening to the people when I kept conversations...
    Thanks a lot!

    I primarily used to suffer the correct using of articles. After huge effort and practices, I have made significant improvement now. Prepositions are also made me unprofessional on my academic work. And your videos can help me to avoid those confusions. Your presentation is clean and pretty much on target. Keep up the good work as we are benefiting a lot.

      Extremely close, but several important corrections:
      1. “I walk to shop” should be “I walk to *the* shop” because without the definite article, “to shop” becomes the to-infinitive verb.
      3 “The shop is open 10.00 to 11.00 pm” is acceptable but “The shop is open *from* 10.00 to 11.00 pm” is more natural.
      4. “I like coffee to tea” is incorrect; it should be “I *prefer* coffee to tea” or (if you insist on using “like”) “I like coffee *more than* tea.”
      • The use of for
      1. “help” (if an object is present) requires a direct object, particularly if “for” is used. Also, “grand mother” is one word so it should be “I *help my grandmother for* my grandfather.”
      2. Again, if *help* is used and there is any object, then there must be a direct object. “Water helps our immunity system”.
      Other than those things, you did well.

  • @lunapiensa
    @lunapiensa 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have neverd heard, and consequently, never used the preposition "to" as a way of showing any preference. This is very new to me so I'm gonna practice by creating sentences I could use. If anyone can give me any feedback I'd be so grateful! :)
    1. I rather listen to music on my speaker to using headphones.
    2. I prefer walking to riding a bus.
    3. On vacation, I rather go to the beach to discovering any urban city. (I figured saying: "I rather go to the beach to discover any urban city could be confusing but I'm not sure I can mix up different times in the same sentence).
    4. Do you prefer rock to pop?
    Feels very odd to me!
    Thank u teacher, and thanks to my wonderful e-classmates as well. ✰

    Hi, there! This is Gaby from Argentina. Thank you very much for posting these useful videos. I really like them! I'm a teacher of English here in my home country and, more often than not, we come across sentences like "One of the advantages TO living in the city is....." and the paragraph immediately after that says "One of the disadvantages OF living in the city is..." - Is there any significant difference between TO and OF in this case? If you had a video approaching this grammar point, I would be more than glad to watch it and share it with my students. Thank you!

      Actually, advantage OF doing a thing. DoING because of the preposition OF. That's it!

    • @GabrielaAttar
      @GabrielaAttar 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Helmarful Thank you for your feedback. Of course since OF is a preposition, we need to use a gerund after it. The question would be: Would you ever use "The advantage to + ING?" IF so, what would the difference be? The advantage to using technology in the classroom vs. The advantage of using technology in the classroom. Since OF and TO are prepositions, we need -ING after them.

    • @Helmarful
      @Helmarful 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@GabrielaAttar Hi, Gaby! Thanks for the reply.Yeah, difference is that the preposition TO " The advantage TO usING " is part of the previous expression, I mean, TO has been attached to the noun " advantage ". Otherwise, I would've used the infinitive of the verb " to use " in the sentence " The advantage TO use ( infinitive).

      "It doesn't matter to me" is actually showing the opinion of the person.
      And in the next one,
      "It's all the same for me" shows effect of something on the noun.
      I hope this might help😊

    I prefer Physics to chemistry and mmmEnglish to English grammar books and it was a great lesson as always btw Can you please explain how to use the phrases "For that matter" and "in the first place" I searched online but still I don't know exactly in which situation should I use these phrases btw why did Taylor Swift say in the song "You belong with me" instead of "you belong to me" and thank you in advance😊😊

    • @mmmEnglish_Emma
      @mmmEnglish_Emma  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Great examples Anuj! I'll try to make a lesson explaining those two phrases 😁
      "Belong to" means ownership. Eg. That car belongs to me.
      "Belong with" means that things should be together - often used in a romantic context. Eg. You belong with me.

    • @CBJAMPA
      @CBJAMPA 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Anuj Arora - Belong can also be used with “in”, meaning appropriateness. Ex.: Bad behavior doesn’t belong in a classroom. / Corruption doesn’t belong in government. / Politics doesn’t belong in religion or vice versa. Hope it helps!

      Does it sound correct ''you be long with me''?

    • @CBJAMPA
      @CBJAMPA 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      one ib - Did you mean “ be long” (2 distinct words?) If so, I don’t think it means anything. Now, if you meant “belong” (together as an only word), it means “ You are an ideal person for me to be with”, or “We belong together”. If you say that a car belongs to you, you’re saying that the car is your property. If you say that someone “belongs with you”, your saying that that someone’s ideal place is by your side, not your property. Ex. A child belongs with his/her parents. She/he is not their parents’ property, but a child is generally much better off being with his/her parents. Hope it helps!
