“I would rather eat healthy than have dessert.”
vs.
“I would rather eat healthy, then have dessert.”
Both are sensible, but their meanings are noticeably different.
Have you made any of the mistakes I've mentioned in the video?
e.g. and i.e.;)) The mistake I see most often from native English speakers is: the difference between "there" "their" and "they're"!;)
i have made all of them, but recently i was using " which & that " incorrectly, but know i learned how to use them correctly (: thank you
Yeah of course I used to make few of these mistakes but yeah the way you explained its awesome dear mate
yeah. a lot actually of mistakes

"Should of" instead of "should have".

Hello Marina 😄 My name is Dimitra and I am from Greece. I Just wanted to tell you that I finished my english exams a few days ago and that you have helped me a lot!!! I gave your youtube account to my english teacher and she said to me that you are Amazing and so cute. Thank you a lot 😊
Hello from Russia! Marina, thank you for your video, especially for a very clear and fast way you always explain things. My students often make this mistake "I and my friends" , "I and my sister", etc. I'll share your video with them to improve their speaking skills. Keep up the good work!
vc está me ajudando muuuitooooo .. muitíssimo obrigadaa!!!🤗🤗🤗
Hi, your new place looks absolutely fantastic! I really like your attitude especially the way you pursue your dreams! You really are my role model particularly in career development ! Good on you! Considering that you started from nothing (e.g. printed piano) , you are phenomenal. You really have the stamina to be a successful person! By the way, I am also a serious spoken English learner. I cannot speak in American English but I have found you have managed your tone very well!
Your videos are really helpful! I am working remotely for a US company and we usually have video call meetings. It's kinda hard expressing my thoughts because I'm not fluent in English. Thank God I discovered your channel, I'm learning a lot. I'm a Filipino, by the way. 😊👋🏻🇵🇭
Really helpful. Especially which & that and than & then pronunciation comparison.
So fun to watch your vids!

Thank you Marina, so helpful video!
I love Fluent Express! Thank you!
thanks so much marina for this useful video
This video was great . Thank you
Очень полезно, спасибо! Keep it up!:) Жду новых подобных видео для уровня upper intermediate (advanced).
The 'than' and 'then' confusion really got underway after the internet came into being and people got lazy in their public spelling. Before that you rarely noticed such a thing. Then it started creeping backwards into speech.
In American English, "then" and "than" are pronounced differently in isolation, but are often reduced to homophones in natural speech. It's easy for speakers of American English to mix them up in writing when they're not paying attention, I'd wager that plays a big role.
I highly appreciate the information you revealed
love the pad. its beautiful! so lucky to live there!
Thanks for this video 😍 It's really amazing!!

I have made some of the mistakes mentioned in the video, but even before I watch it I already knew their differences. However, thank you Marina!
Thank you Marina
I just love your videos. And yes you should definitely make some more videos.
Hi Marina,
I have seen all your videos and they helped me a lot. Trust me you are doing a best job.
Can you make a video on following
1)Words a journalist can use? 2)How to sound professional?
3)Some more phrases and words American use?
4)How to sound like American without being American?
5)How to get rid of English fears like stammering, fear of speech etc?
I would be awaiting for your revert.
Best,
Sahej
Thanks for your video ,M. You always look so full energy.

Congratulation for new and beautiful home
Thankyu for every videosi.
Love your Videos which r very much informative
I envoyed so much your vidéo my dear marina thanks.
The which/that explanation is... "kind of" wrong.
Commas make the difference! In the example sentences, 'which' is used with commas, while 'that' is not.
When 'which' is used without the commas, it can function the same way as 'that.'
+ I'm a big fan of you Marina. Don't get me wrong. As an English teacher, I just had to point this out. Love your videos!
You're right.
indeed it was aninformative session. Thanks a lot.
Thank you this video was extremely helpful

Good job . Go on
Not only your fluency,but also I like the way you teach us.
Congrats, new apartment looks fresh, and great job with these videos. I stumbled on your videos while beginning to study German. Funny how you often learn and recognize so much more about your mother tongue.
One minor note regarding the use of "i.e. versus "e.g." I believe the issue among natives here is really more about meaning confusion than the a distinction between informal and formal , as speakers generally mix up "that is" and "for example" when using these handy Latin abbreviations. You should be aware that it is perfectly acceptable to use these formally. In fact, I think I've seen the language evolve where people are using "i.e." and/or "e.g." in speech, which is informally and less common (if common at all) in the past. A correct but funny example, (in the voice of a valley girl): "I, like, was totally like, no way!! Like "i.e." I'm not stupid."
Separately, I have some more common errors I think might be worth being aware of :). One thing that might be interesting for you to do sometime, is hone in on mistakes that are common to specific non-anglophonic mother tongues. I'm sure there's gotta be some trends. Anywhere, here are a couple I thought of off the top of my head.
1. Mixing up the order of "I" and "me." This is particularly common in photos (ever see a caption that reads "Mom and I" - totally wrong). A good test is to see if the pronoun "I" or "me" stands alone in the same sentence (e.g. A picture of "I" doesn't make sense, but a picture of "me" does).
2. The use of the non-word "irregardless." Remember, "regardless" already indicates without regard, and doubling it up doesn't emphasize that - lol.
3. Overuse of the word "like," although I think this has been dying off a little. Who knows, anecdotal...
4. You don't take something "personal," you take something "personally."
Keep up the good work.
Hi my congratulations Marina for moving to a new apartment. Also thank you Marina for teaching me these common mistakes that we use in English. It is difficult to find kind people like you Marina
Hi marina! I'm your new subscriber anyway, it's cool you help people to learn about English language. Please make some videos how you can memorize all the word at the first time you learn English language. Thank you marinaa I would be waiting for your next video hehe
Hey Marina. Thank you for the video. Even though I speak fluent English, I still have some mistakes in these languages. And we also learn although we think we are “perfect”. Nobody ever reaches perfection in a language. What you reach is fluency, not perfection. We are not even perfect in our native languages, which is so funny. So, whenever I listen to someone say “I speak perfect English”. No way! But it’s ok. Anyway, I’ve never wrote you any comment in any video, Marina. And I love them. I’m a good fan of yours. :) Thank you once again for the videos. Спасибо дорогая Марина. Я - твой фанат и мне нравится твои видеос. У тебя видеос на русском? Мне хотелось посмотреть где ты говоришь на твоим языке? Привет из Мексики, красавица! Кстати, говоришь по-испански?
Hey Marina! Yes, make a tour of your new apartment!! Xoxo.
Thank you so much for your help of these top 5 mistakes. Now I can understand how to use these.
Definitely yesss! I'm looking forward to see your lovely apartment! In addition, videos with common mistakes are really helpful! 💜

!Marina, WOW, really nice place and a beautiful view!!
Keep doing grammar lessons, it's doubtless admirable type of video!)
Hi marina :) I always appreciate your videos because you're very clear and helpful please keep on doing it 😄😄😄😄
Круто! Больше видео про разные грамматические штучки¡
Minor correction: When using a word to describe a verb, i.e., an adverb, add "ly," e.g., "use the word formally."
You're the best 😍 I enjoyed a lot
Thank you for the video, now I understand the difference between which and that💜
I am a little confused that I understand everything what are you talking about))) Marina, thank you very much, you really help me out!!!
can I practice English with u
Мариночка, ты невероятная учительница и чудесная девочка. Mery, you are unbelievable teacher and wonderful girl.
I'm agree with you.
A very good video, I wish all of my colleagues have watched it by now. :)
So I'm a native English speaker and enjoy watching videos like this one to be able to better help my foreign friends learning our language. This was a very good video covering important content, but I have one minor issue; why do you say that the abbreviations i.e. and e.g. can only be used informally?
I mean, I haven't really considered the topic before, but to my mind e.g. and i.e. are actually much closer to formal language than informal. They would not look out of place at all on a resume or official document. I could be wrong, but that's my view anyway. Anyone willing to shed some light?
Same here. I thought e.g and i.e. were used in a formal way because they are Latin expressions indeed.
I believe many native speakers are not clear on these two abbreviations and I think Marina is correct when she says that they should not be used on a very formal document and it will possibly give a lower score if included on a T.O.E.F.L. essay.
The Gregg Reference Manual, suggests:
“Use the abbreviated forms e.g. and i.e. only in informal, technical, or ‘expedient’ documents (such as business forms, catalogs, and routine e-mail messages, memos, and letters between business offices).”
Fully agree with Marina and Shawn Michael that while writing an essay you should use "For example" or "For instance" instead of e.g.
+Shawn Michael can I practice English with u🌹
This was very useful. Thanks.😉
Thanks for the teaching really
