    Yes, bread is made from FLOUR, not FLOWER (which, by the way, are pronounced exactly the same!) 😂 Anyway, this isn't a cooking class... I hope the rules in this video are useful for you! 👍🏼 👍🏼

      Hola from Perú. Biggest thank you for your lessons. I have to admit that British English sounds very hard for me. I saw flower and thought: I know nothing.

    When you understand the word "make" as "create", everything becomes much clearer. What are you doing? = What action are you performing? What are you making? = What are you creating?

    Some Americans do say "make a photo" or "made a photo," particularly if they are photographers. (I've heard Ansel Adams may have been the originator of this usage.)
    Do/make in conjunction with the word "project" is an interesting one. "Are you making progress on your project?" vs "How are you doing on your project?" "What are you going to do for your final project?" and "What are you going to make for your final project?" could both be acceptable, depending on what the context is for that final project. If you're writing a paper, then "do" refers to the subject of the paper, but if you're in a class where projects are physical items, like food or clothing, or sculptures, etc., then "make" would be correct.

    Interestingly, make is used for food and drinks but we can't say "I make the cooking" we have to use - do in this context
    "I do the cooking".

    Hello Greg, cheers from sunny Brazil.
    Congrats for the videos, excellent learning features, specially in pronunciation, very helpful indeed.
    Could I suggest a theme for a short video?
    What are the differences in meaning among the words: between, among, amongst, amid and amidst?
    I hear people using between all the time even for more than two objects.
    Thanks in advance!

    My (French) wife still says “make a tour” to say something like “circle around the parking lot,” even though her English is impeccable. As an American, I might say something more like “make a loop.” For me, the word “tour“ always means a guided visit. When she says “let’s make a tour around the supermarket,” I always joke that I’m not really interested in touring the place where I get my groceries. Does anyone know of an English dialect where “tour“ means just to walk around in a circle?

  • @Turbo_TechnoLogic
    @Turbo_TechnoLogic ปีที่แล้ว

    Very useful thank, BUT there's one thing I don't get
    10:43 here you say do substitutes the obvious verbs in the context. But based on this, practically like 80% of the sentences could use do. Who says what's obvious? :) and for who is obvious in the first place?
    Also just as a side note and philosophy, isn't this a kind of phasing out of these expressions from the language? Cos if you only say do, and not paint, after a while it will be forgotten, that you 'paint' your nails. You just do it.
    Just a thought experiment, I'm not a linguistics expert or anything.
