This lesson is amazing and very helpful! 👍🏻You give us a comprehensive view on different levels to learn "to" and "for". Thank you very much for your creative lesson!
Very useful lesson Now I know when to use to or for before ing verb The difficulty with flexible words such as aim - I didn't know what to use. I think you need a board to explain some points- oral explanation sometimes is not enough Thank you sooo much And yes in Arabic we should use to after phone
Thanks for watching and sharing your suggestion! Sometimes it helps students if they read the script as well. You can find it on our website: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/5-levels-english-grammar-to-for.
Thanks for the great job tutors , God bless you. I have a question please. “ verily,..................... It is the same TO them whether ........ “ is to appropriate here or for “
I'm not entirely sure of your context here, Abdul. Both can be correct. Here are some examples: 'It doesn't matter if they go swimming at the beach or in a pool. It's the same to them', and, 'Traffic was terrible for me yesterday. It was the same for them'. Hope this helps you!
Oxford Online English ok. got you thanks. Found the context in a translated verse of the Quran and it coincide with the time I just finished watching this nice clip of yours . Thanks. I got it right from your examples above . God bless
I have two questions, please. 1- Can I say: I'm sincerely delighted to work with you? 2- Can I say: My new practical journey is set to be in a different direction, yet with some intersections? Is it correct to use the word "intersections" in this context? Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you so much.
For + -ing: reason We use for + the -ing form of a verb to refer to the reason for something: You should talk to Jane about it. You know, she’s famous for being a good listener. From Cambridge dictionary
Thank you for this lesson. Could you explain in the level 5, there has a sentence "It's warm for December, so there's not as much demand for winter clothing as you'd normally see at this time". if used "you'd" why "see" to be used instead of "seen"? Many thanks!
Good question, Jiayan! We would use 'seen' if we used 'would have'. Here, it is only 'as you would' without 'have' because it is talking about an imaginary situation. We have a lesson on 'would' which might also help you! You can see it here: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/would-modal-verbs.
We're so glad you liked it, Hadi! We will have more like this in the future. We also have a few other '5 Levels' lessons if you haven't seen them yet: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/?s=5+levels.
We're so glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for sharing your comment. Our certified English teachers can help you with online classes. You can book a trial lesson here: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/book-first-class.
Thanks for your helpful videos, your videos always help me to understand , (but I am not sure {to understand or understand}) propositions really work out for every English learner...
Vladimir, I believe 'fancy' is a transitive verb, so you say 'I fancy a teaching job' or '... fancy becoming a teacher' but you can say 'I dream about a job...' Cheers!
Mam , I am sabbir from India .I am a subscriber and also your student. my request is to you . Please man discuss about be verb and use them in many ways.
Thank you for these wonderfully useful videos. Could I ask you something? There is such an incredible range of accents in the videos and it would be fascinating to know where they come from. Would it be at all possible for the teacher in the video to give their names long with their accents? I hope that is not too instrusive.
Hi Klára, thanks for watching and sharing your suggestion! That is something we might be able to look into for the future. Some of the teachers also teach lessons online with OOE, so you can also check our website to learn about them: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/about-our-online-english-teachers.
Hello I would like to tell you that it is more interesting for me to learn this small words but more difficult but after listening it will be easy for Thanks guys both of them
You're welcome, Thanh! Did you mean 'I have not understood completely', meaning you understood maybe a little, but not all? Or did you mean, 'I have completely not understood', meaning you did not understand any of the lesson? We hope you at least understood a little!
Glad you liked it, Roland! We use 'for + verb+ing' when we talk about a function of something. For example: 'This spoon is used for serving soup'. That is the only function of the spoon. Another example is: 'The truck is for making deliveries'. That is the only use for the truck: making deliveries. Hope that helps!
Hi Diwakar, thanks for the suggestion. We might be able to do that in the future. For now, we have some other lessons which might help you: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/parts-of-speech.
Hi, your video is so interesting and helpful, but I'm still get confused about reason and function. The woman said that the reason is why someone do something and you can only use for+noun, not for + ing. However on the man part, it was explained "she developed tools for analysing", and she is someone. In my opinion it shoud be only "she developed tools to analyze". Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks in advance
Hi Rahman. Both can be correct. It depends on your perspective and the context. The first (tool to analyse) expresses the idea of why she developed the tool. The second (tool for analysing) expresses the idea that the only function of the tool is analysing data. It does not do anything else. So it depends on what you'd like to convey. Hope this helps you!
TO We cling TO music, TO poetry, TO quotes, TO writing, TO art because we desperately do not want TO be alone We want TO know we aren't going crazy and someone out there knows how you're feeling We want someone TO explain the thing we can't
Good question, Ravit. In this situation, 'to' is the preposition linked to 'forward', and this modifies 'looking'. We 'look forward to' nouns, and 'seeing' is the noun form of the activity here. For example: 'I look forward to speaking with you' and 'I'm looking forward to speaking with you' are correct. The rule you are thinking of applies to infinitives in the present simple. For example: 'I like to run'. Here, 'I like to running' would not be correct. Does that help?
Sir/Madam, I want to know when native speakers Why they prounoun like these Them 1)i hate them 2)We are not good at them 3)Why did you need them 4)Don't watch them 5)you remember most of them 6)how do you use them correctly How to use these Sentences? (Situation) Are these same to (They -Them) or different?
Hi Mohamed, 'them' is a pronoun, specifically a third person plural object pronoun. It refers to a group of people or things. It replaces nouns that are the objects of sentences. For example: 'I went shopping with my family,' or, 'I went shopping with them'. Hope this helps you! If you'd like more practice feel free to talk to one of our teachers: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/about-our-online-english-teachers.
We're glad you enjoyed the lesson! Good question. No, we cannot use 'admit us'. The action of 'admitting' something is happening 'to us' in the sentence, or directed 'to us'. Therefore, we need the 'to'. Hope this helps you!
To me, Level 3 “Jogging is good for your health” is the most difficult as you said it is a fixed phrase and not to be really explained. And when I wrote the above sentence, I was not even sure whether I should write “to me” or “for me”?
It's best to simply memorize these types of phrases. For example 'good for you', 'good for me', 'good for your health', 'good for the environment', etc. Thanks for watching!
Oxford Online English Thank you for your reply. But should I say “For me this is difficult” or “To me this is difficult”? Maybe you can make a new video about that😀.
I think that, this channel is the best in the TH-cam. Everyday I get everything by it.
Thank you for the kind comment, Nasir!
You are awesome
