    Check out - the verb with the preposition - in my dictionary means something like to end the stay at the hotel or the signature after going home from the work and I suppose that in your meaning it is about something like the controle something. I like your videos, you are the sympathical fellow. Thank you for your work. I greet you from Czech republic, I am of Polish nationality /my maternal language is Polish/. I am 73 years old and mostly I don´t understand movies in English, so I am learning the English pronunciation and your videos, I think, is for me a great help.

    • @engvidAlex
      @engvidAlex  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m glad my videos are helpful for you! “Check out” has multiple meanings. One of them is “direct your attention towards,” so if I say, “Check out this video,” I mean, “Look at this video.” 👍

    Thank you very much dear teacher for this video, it was very helpful. I have a question concerning the two words "ever" and "never". Can we use them interchangeably as you did in your examples? ( "I've heard of Lizzo, but I don't think I've ever heard one of her songs" and "I've never heard of..." ) if yes please when can we do that?

    • @javi30170
      @javi30170 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question, I think you can't use Never if you have already used a negation.
      "I don't think I've ever heard of' if you use Never you are invalidating the previous negation. That is what I think, I'm a english learner.

      You can use “never” as you’ve done in your example. For “ever” in statements where it can be replaced with “never” with a change in meaning, it’s quite common when there is a negative embedding phrase before it. Here is what I mean:
      I don’t know…
      I don’t think…
      I’m not sure…
      It isn’t known if…
      I’d like to know if…
      I have no idea…
      “I have no idea if he’s ever been there.” (“He has never been there” has a difference in meaning here, as I’m sure you can see!)
      “I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.”
      (“I’ve never seen it before” has a different meaning here too…it’s a definitive statement and not an “I don’t know…”)
      I hope this helps! You can play with the structures but the meaning will be different.

      ​@@engvidAlexhello gd morning sir. I do research in grammar. I have a question. Tom likes reading the book. Passive.1 Tom likes being read the book. 2. The book is liked being read by Tom. Actually being is used for passive of ing forms. Which one is correct. Most of grammar books do not talk of this. Eg. Raymond murphy. Michel mcarthy. Only martin hewings or michel swan talked about this structure. Reply
