It was so hard for me studying all these rules about articles, because we don't have them in Russian at all. Even now I'm always confused by using them in my speech or when I write something. Your explanation is good, it helped me to refresh my knowledge.
Янина Новак Найдите себе иностранного друга и начните говорить. Также, попросите его поправлять Вас при каждой допущенной ошибке. Когда я переехал из России в другую страну, спустя год я познакомился с иностранцем из Кувейта, у которого родной язык английский, а не арабский. Уже за 3 года дружбы с ним, проживания в другой стране и чтения иностранной литературы, новостей помогли мне переосмыслить английский язык в целом. В итоге, я поднял уровень знаний и произношения со среднего до высокого уровня. Так что, советую вам сделать тоже самое) Когда-то я и путался в предлогах и т.п., а потом понял когда и что нужно использовать:)
It's amazing how there are all these obscure rules, yet as a native English speaker I find it silly that people don't understand. BUT: then I see a video such as this and my mind is blown at how complicated our language is!
An exception to rule # 4. we don't use an article with a proper name except when there is also an adjective or otherwise modified. For example, "I'll see you Monday", but "I'll see you on the Monday after your birthday". "Did you talk to Jane?" but "Did you talk to the lovely Jane?"
+Jim Newton Should I use "the" if I want to be more specific about freedom? For example: "The freedom of speech is worth dying for". Or should I stick to the general concept of "freedom" as a whole? Thanks for your help.
+Michel K -- "Freedom of speech is worth dying for" (with no articles). But you might put an in there in a sentence where you are referring to a particular freedom of speech like: The freedom of speech guaranteed the US constitution is more absolute than that mentioned in the constitution of Botswana.
You are also THE introvert girl, i'm obsessed with you lately. i'm an introvert and i'd like to improve my english so when i travel i can break some of my introvert habits more easily. I do not know if it makes sense lol . Thank you for all.

hi I'm new to English language world and just started , and in the start I found your useful lectures,I will love to keep following you to make me confident to read, write and speak English in a good manner......
Hi Jade, I love your Britisch English, it´s very beautiful. I´m happy I finde you! Pleas don´t stop with the videos becouse they are very helpful! Pleas upload more and more videos! At last I have found a good example! Thanks thanks thanks!!!!
Few, if any English grammar tutors take a long phrase known to all and decipher it. I think doing this clarifies the meaning of words and describes how sentences are put together better. Please consider doing this, Jade. Regards. U.K.
Yo all I want to say is that you are so pretty & captivating as a teacher & your accent is just like a sweet soundtrack of anybody's dreams! a breath of fresh air & a sight for sore eyes!
you are a very good teacher! I'm Dutch and I study English, I've learnt a lot! (Jij bent een goede leraar! Ik ben Nederlands en ik studeer Engels. Ik heb veel geleerd!)
Thank you. It is very helpful for me. Could you please make a video about talking with 2-3 years old kids in daily basis, in the daily life situations a mother has to due with the kids ? I am now teaching my son to speak english by talking to him only in English but I have a problem with some easy words & conversation. Thanks again.
Thank you. My student asked me why I told her not to put articles before the word 'dinner' in a sentence which went 'I usually don`t eat dinner'. Now I know who can explain it better to her :-)
When someone asks 'why' for a simple rule such as this say that's how it is. There is no reason. Language just evolves that way. Why is the sky blue? Why do birds sing?
English Jade - Learn English (engVid) This actually pops up with "The Ukraine" But Ukrainians say this is wrong, It's just Ukraine. Slowly this is changing though and many people now just say Ukraine.
alex ojideagu They say, the main rule in English is to follow exlusions. So, they are used to saying ''THE Ukraine''. Although, I guess, I read one rule which says we should add THE in front of federations and united states/kingdoms, like in case with The United States, the Unined Kingdom, the Russian federation and so on. So, following the second rule I`d not put THE in front of Ukraine, but we know that British love traditions.
jade, you are a good teacher and your explanation is very clear. I haven't seen an english teacher as good as you. upload more and more videos and keep up the good work and looking forward to listen to many more lessons of yours.
Thank you so much for the lesson. In my opinion, you could create a lesson about the articles:when you should use "A", when "THE", when you can use both articles and when you should use no articles, to get the difference between the all possible situations
Hi Jade! Great explanation! I was wondering if you had an explanation regarding the use of "the" in these situations: -I'm going to the mountains. -He's going to the forest. -She travelled in the desert. In these situations the noun is ambiguous but they still use "the" as opposed to "a" or the zero article.
It is because each are obvious and known to the person to whom it is said. So, the speaker assumes that the listener knows exactly which mountains he is going to or
What a lesson! I liked THE lesson) But to my mind you should also mention the names of four world oceans, that we alwaya write with definite article too...The Atlantic Ocean, The Pacific Ocean, The Indian Ocean and finally The Arctic Ocean)) I really want to be your assistant. Your lessons, Jade, inspire both my students and me. Thank you for being a nice and beautiful woman.
I'm a native English speaker, and I've been learning Spanish so I really only stopped here to say this: Had I not been a native English speaker, you look exactly like what I'd imagine a native English speaker looks like and I'm not sure I'm even prepared to understand my own reasoning behind that.
Articles can be such a pain in the arse! It doesn't matter how advanced my students are I think a good lesson on these little monsters called 'articles' is always very useful!
Thank you very much! Should I add THE at four places in the next sentence? "The method is good for (1) stiffness of (2) transition section between (3) bridges and (4) soil. "
Subscribed! This is really helpful, as I'm a student and still trying to improve my grammar! Your videos will be very helpful in the future for me, so keep making 'em!
Great lesson! which I will share with my students, just to clarify though, all countries which take a plural form use “the” such as the Netherlands which is (as you said a collection of states) but many may not know that to be the case. Furthermore, proper nouns can also use the article “the” when cases allow, such as, “the Friday we went to dinner” when clarifying which Friday you’re talking about. Fantastic explanation of the determining articles, this will certainly be of assistance in my classes too. 😊 subbed and added to my playlist for students to watch.
Jade, I'm a student of the English language and I really pay attention to the pronunciation. So, I always wondered whether I always had to pronounce 'the' as eth because sometimes it's really hard to do so. For instance, in 'contrary TO THE/tə ðə/ popular belief', 'that the' /ðət ðə/ it is hard to pronounce /t/ and eth considering their place of articulation which is really close to one another. I tried paying attention to your pronunciation, but it appears that you somehow just tap it inconspicuously that I can't notice if you actually pronounce /d/ or eth. Thanks in advance. By the way, I find your videos quite interesting and I adore the British accent.
Native English speakers pronounce THE with a short sound (like "thuh"). But when the comes before a vowel sound, they pronounce it as a long "thee". "thee" ice-cream "thee" orange university > "thuh youniversity" consonant sound the hour > "thee our" vowel sound "thuh house" consonant sound "thee umbrella" vowel sound
There is just Great Britain, despite it consists of England, Wales and Scotland. Our English teacher told us, the definite article was used in the names of countries or parts of countries or supranational commonwealths, which contained expressions like "states, kingdom, republic, union, united, islands" or expressed a plural noun, e.g. the Netherlands (=the low lands).
I usually have a huge problem with placing ‘’ the ‘’. here it comes I come to the right place and solving my problem. Many thank.
You pronounced the phrase "Freedom is worth dying for!" in such a funny way) now it will be in my mind for about 2 days)
