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.
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?
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.
A- Did you hear of Mr Alex? He is really an Teacher Teacher. B- Yes, I did. I know him well. Did you hear about his last conference ? A- No, I didn't. But I know that his speech is always great and admirable.
@@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
It's just dawned on me that in Eastern Slavic languages hear of - means знати про щось, знати про існування чогось hear about - бути в курсі, знати про подію

@@engvidAlex Thank your for your answer and explanation.
Thank you) It is a very useful video)
Glad it was helpful!
You brought up a very good point when you pointed out Juventus Football Club about Scandal

@@javi30170 I see, thanks a lot.

“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.
@@engvidAlex I see, thanks a lot ❤
Hi Alex. I checked out The Last Unicorn's song, it is great! Thank you for the class and the song recommendation 😊.
I’m glad you liked it, Humberto! It’s one of my favourites. I have it permanently on my phone. :)
I understood now. Existence vs looking for details
A- Did you hear of Mr Alex? He is really an Teacher Teacher.
B- Yes, I did. I know him well. Did you hear about his last conference ?
A- No, I didn't. But I know that his speech is always great and admirable.
I've heard of Alex, he explains English stuff very good :)
Good to know! 😅

Usually it is a question have you heard o/about ..so how can I know the other person know or not
I still make these mistakes. Thanks, Alex
Hello Sir, I want to study the English language from scratch to professionalism. I do not know where to start. I want a study plan, Professor
Yes! I've heard about it.
Ok. I've never seen this movie before and I'll check it out with my children soon!!!)))
It’s an old one and has some mixed reviews, but I enjoy it.
I am a Juventus supporter!!😂Now the difference is very clear! Thank you very much
Nostalgia,is a real Greek word!!!
Profesor!
Besides the great lessons you give us, I always look forward to your interesting shirts:))
Happy to hear that! 😅 I’ll have some new ones in 2024.
It's just dawned on me that in Eastern Slavic languages
hear of - means знати про щось, знати про існування чогось
hear about - бути в курсі, знати про подію
Still to get differences and how to use them.more examples
What if we add intensifiers or modifiers?
Have you heard of John?
Yes I have heard a lot of/about him.
This is definitely common with “hear about.” 👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Sir I'm from Pakistan there isn't any English speaking environment How long have to learn English language
That was interesting to me that out of all the football teams, you chose to mention Juventus! Are you originally Italian?
I’m not. :) I was born in Poland. I usually support Arsenal. Haha.
@engvidAlex Thanks for answering! & Here I am; a Real Madrid fan! 😊🤍
