I love your channel!❤❤❤❤❤
Your an educational channel is helping me a lot.
Well, I prefer green tea to chai latte
I prefered maths to litterature training.
Question : can I use the word " since " to refer the starting point in the future?
Fix any mistakes made in the comments please.
Thanks a lot teacher "for" that vidio please can you do vidio about "of " when and where we use it ? ❤
I want to speak and practice with you ..What is the details?
😍😍
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!
Can you make a video one topic "of" preposition
Of course

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.
You are absolutely right
Thank you so much for explaining these propositions("to" and "for")in detail and in a professional manner!
As always, outstanding teacher !👏
•Use of TO
1.direction(I walk to shop)
2.limit (The water is up to sea level)
3 time (The shop is open 10.00 to 11.00 pm)
4.preference (I like coffee to tea)
• The use of for
1.help( I help for my grand mother)
2.benefit(water help for our immunity system)
3.past action(I have been waiting here for 30 minutes)
4.functional use (Its used for drinking)
Thanks 🙏
nice
Thanks for your kindness
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.
thanks

1.) Direction/Destination

I’m grateful for having a teacher like you.

4. limits/endpoints
To

Thanks for your note, it is really useful.
Thank you so much! You are really a good teacher seeking the attention of all the students and make sure they get the correct lesson. Thank you! God bless!
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation on various subject matters. extremely helpful!
I prefer mmmenglish TO all other channels, exactly. 👍
💕
Me too
I do the same. others speak so fast as if they are talking to a person with English as first language but you speak just as easy, smoothly with hand gesture for some to catch the thought of what you're saying.
I favour mmmenglish over all other channels, exactly.))))
Me too🤩
To: 1. destination 2. time between two points 3. preference 4. limit/endpoint. This is such a magnificent lesson.
Adequately proportionate..You've tackled one of the hurdles in English..As far as my judgement is concerned it was marvelous to equate with the rest who are teaching grammar...At least you've imparted their common usage so its a cup..My gratitude!!!!
Thank you very much Emma. All the time I have to check your videos to make sure I am taking the right directions to improve my English. Cheers.
Today thanks to the internet and useful videos like Emma's, everyone can learn English at home more easily than in the past.
it's true!!!!!
true true "Kagan The GAMER" if it is ur name
I traveledd from Guadajajara to Cancun for work, I've been living here for 8 years and after studied english for 5 years I finaly speak and understand!!! Of course not perfect, but doesn't matter, I am going to continue learning. Thank you a lot! You are very good teacher.
We can use excellent instead of very good. You are an excellent teacher.
@@shaileshsachan5830 muchas gracias!!
What a professional lesson! Thank you Emma!
Hello teacher, now my confusion about the use of to and for is gone.
Thank you for these important lessons you are sharing to us

I wanna say that you'ar an amazing english teacher.I'd love to see more of your videos.😊
You are important to me. You saved my day every single day.
Thank you so much for helping us to improve each day, I really love your classes. I'm an Englih teacher from Brazil, and it's not easy to learn when we're not in contact with the language everyday.
Dear Emma, you are a great teacher. Your lessons are easy and simple to understand. Learning English with you is pleasant. Thank you very much
Emma ma'am! The lesson is very interesting n useful for new learners like me. Thank u😊
Thanks for teaching us. You’re a wonderful teacher!
Hello Emma, my name is Wang. I have watched your teaching TH-cam. I found your teaching very clear, concise and helpful. I love it. Thank you.
Hello this video is so good to study preposition 'to' and 'for', I learned to not confuse definitely preposition ‘to’ and ‘for’. Thank you for helping me!!!!
The ring that I found on the street yesterday belongs to my neighbor.
I patiently watch your tutorial lesson to prepare for my English proficient exam.
I am always waiting for you to smile because you really look lovely when you do.
I love your classes, they're absolutely amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I always learn a lot from your lessons & will keep learning.....you are amazing gift. and your expression is spotless. These confusing two prepositions will not confuse me again. Thanks a million.
Common usage of "to":
1) direction / destination
2) limit/ endpoint
3) preference over than other things
4) distance or time between two points
This is an excellent lesson. Teaching and learning prepositions is not easy.
To feel the difference of the use of FOR and TO it is necessary to think in English. Your reasoning on those two little words is a perfect presentation.
Thank you Professor Emma. You say " I am a coach for English speech". But I prefer to title you Professor Emma.
Your way of explaing is so great, thank you.

Hi, there! Love your classes very much and would like to ask a question about the prepositions "Compare to & compare with". When do we use "compare to" and when do we use "compare with"?
Thanks for all interesting videos and look forward to hearing from you asap.

I just found you and I looooooove you 💜. To and for... so cool, now I get it, but I don't understand why you use ALREADY at the end of the sentences. Please, a video about this would be great. Best teacher ever!! 💜

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!
q
Truly said...
Actually, advantage OF doing a thing. DoING because of the preposition OF. That's it!
@@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.
@@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).
My thankfulness to you for all!
Excellent! It's very useful for me to grasp to and for. Keep posting more videos.I like your gestures and articulation and I am trying to emulate you,madam
Thank you
