Finally I have found a good teacher who can finally help me to understand how I can talk and write in English without or with the minimum of mistakes. Ohhh my goodness.... finally. Before this I started to think that I can't find my first IT job not because of not having the needed hard skills but because of my awful English. Thanks, you gave me a hope. Thanks again!
Important note: languages DO get "the" if they have the word "language" after it. For example "Russian" vs "the russian language" or "English" vs "the english language"
If nationality is the same as the language, it does have “the” before nationality (e.g. The Russian speak Russian and The Thai speak Thai. Compare w/o “the” before nationality; Australians speak English as British as well. ** no article before language

@Anh Nguyễn Ngọc Duy because you have mentioned in your sentense that the test was yesterday, so it will be either " I can't believe I failed the test"( provided that you have mentioned which test you are talking about in earlier sentence) or "I can't believe I failed yesterday's test."
Hi, I’m a new English language coach on TH-cam and I’m trying to improve my channel. Can you tell me why you like English lessons with Adam? I would really appreciate any answers you have.

Adam is the best teacher I ever heard. It´is incredible how I can easily understand every single word he say. Sometimes I think I can speack english well enough, but when I watch a movie or interview I relize I´m wrong. I wonder why so is much differente. :-(
7:17 “… so lake Baikal in Russia or THE Hudson Bay in Canada no article” - lol. These rules are really confusing. By the way this is the best explanation of these rules. Thanks.
Luckily you are on youtube; otherwise, I wouldn't have understood anything my teachers post in our university's websites, all their handouts seem greek to me! but after I watch your videos everything seems crystal clear and easy to me! I can't thank you enough!

Hello, TeacherI read the following text in a school English book but I think the definite article must not be used with the uncountable noun 'creativity': (last sentence) "Failure is not the end. Rather, it may be the first step to tge world of success. This is proven by the experiences of many geniuses abd inventors. Although failure interefered with their way in the early days of their lives, it didn't discourage them from reaching the top. Effort and creativity make their success stories a mark in the human creativity." Thanks for your guidance. Best regards Antoine Ghannoum

Always Like your videos Adam, as they are not only from a native speaker, but full of energy and rules, bedside these your speech is smooth and clear. Always appreciate your video lessons.
This is a very tricky argument, especially for those who are not mother tongue, since you need to memorize the general rule and the relative exceptions. I think, in this case, practice makes perfect. Thank you very much!
3:13 - OMG, I remember asking my English teacher why some nationalities have plural (brazilians, canadians) and others don't (japonese, french) and there it is. BrazilianS speak Portuguese Japonese people speak Japonese.

@@hotcuppa42 In my personal perspective, I chose this video out of many others. Because it looked simple and straight forward. It contained a diagram of sorts.

I love him because I'm a teacher and he helps me understand lots of grammar points that my students ask A LOT, he always gives me different examples and he doesn't get confused while speaking. He has such a great way of speaking
Hello Adam, thank you for such a great video. At 07:14, you mentioned that "lakes and bays don't take an article, so lake Baikal in Russia or THE Hudson bay in Canada, no article", why was THE used in this sentence? Could you kindly provide us with an example sentence with no articles? Thank you.
I found the difference between lake/bay and sea/river. Lakes and bays are fully visible and we can recognize them. However, we can see only the part of seas and rivers so I guess we need to use "the" to tell the whole image of them to the listener.
Thanks for the video! Actually, rules 8 and 9 look much simpler than the other ones, because the other rules have so much exceptions that it's just easier to remember them case by case than trying to memorize strange exceptions with exceptions for exceptions inside exceptions =)
What an awesome video. I bet it's one of the best ones out there. I absolutely love it. By the way, I've been wondering for quite a long time whether Americans pronounce the words "their" and "there" the same? Thanks in advance!

I see that there is no capital letter use as well when talking about the kind of language(?).
@@Grace-cx9zu I have no idea. Honestly I think it might still be capitalized
@@Grace-cx9zu languages should be capitalized
