The expression "on holiday" means you're on vacation. It can refer to taking a trip or even just staying at home if you're off work. E.g., "Sorry I can't reply to your email this week. I'm on holiday until Jan 29, 2024." Using "a" and "the" with on + holiday isn't common because we'd usually use another noun instead (e.g., "I was so relaxed on the cruise." / "Whenever I'm on a trip, I call home once a day."). Also, in + holiday isn't common at all. When referring to time, it's more common to say "during a/the/my holiday" or "while on holiday." (E.g., "I saw many beautiful temples during my holiday in Japan/while on holiday in Japan.")
Hello: I have seen that movie three times. It's fabulous! Katie has enjoyed playing cards since she was a child. I have been studying for four hours now. I think I need a break. It has been raining all day and now the street is full of water. I have read that article already. It wasn't very interesting. Proffesor Jones has written a book for twenty years. It's almost finished. My family have taken three trips to England. It's a beautiful country. We have worked on this project since October. It's due next week. Are those ok? Thank you so much!!!
Excellent examples! Just a couple of corrections for you: Professor Jones has been writing a book for twenty years. It's almost finished. (professor, has been writing) My family has taken three trips to England. It's a beautiful country. (It's much more common to use a singular verb with a collective noun like "family," though "have" is also possible. I just wanted you to know that a plural noun sounds very strange to most native speakers. I would definitely use a singular verb with "family.")
There are many prepositions in English! Google "prepositions list" to get a full list, or watch our Prepositions of Place video for a list of the most common prepositions: th-cam.com/video/kq65VGkVwC8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5mHdsewCDjKXdOAf

Hello again: Andrei didn't use to exercise very much. Now, Young-Hee uses to visit her grandparents every Sarurday. When I was a child, I used to playing outdoors all day in summer. Are these correct?
The first sentence is perfect! The second sentence needs to be this: "Now, Young-Hee visits her grandparents every Saturday." We use the simple present for repeated actions like this. We can't use "used to" when an action is ongoing in the present. The third sentence is almost right, but you need the base form after "used to," not the -ing (progressive) form. The correct sentence is "When I was a child, I used to play outdoors all day in summer."
In most cases, there isn't any difference. You can learn more about speaking verbs in our blog post (especially under point 5): ellii.com/blog/say-vs-tell-and-other-speaking-verbs
Our videos reflect common usage for the most part, but there are usually some difficult exceptions listed (especially in videos for more difficult grammar targets such as tag questions, future progressive, past progressive, the passive voice, etc.).
Thanks for the compliment! Did you know that "so" would sound more natural than "too" in your sentence? "Too" usually has more of a negative meaning. Here's a blog post that explains it (but we'll also make a video about this soon): ellii.com/blog/so-vs-too

We use "at" for clock times and with "night": at 1:30, at midnight, at night. We use "in" for periods of the day except "night": in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening. ("Night" is an exception.) Hope that helps!

We're working on a new video series for speaking that should be ready in January 2025. In the meantime, our pronunciation videos (th-cam.com/play/PL0MvnNQjMzmaj3OyBD766o70tB5OsiwHp.html) and dialogue videos (th-cam.com/play/PL0MvnNQjMzmYXBI7XjImgPsJWOPlWBqeO.html) will help, but we also recommend that you join a class or find an online group so you can practice speaking to other people.
Hi again! For questions, it depends on the question and on the formality. E.g., Which day does the class start on? = casual / On which day does the class start? = formal (or When does the class start? = also casual). For sentences, the preposition is usually before a noun, not at the end. Do you have a specific sentence where the preposition is at the end to ask me about?
We've got a new short about that coming very soon. It's over a minute so we're just waiting for TH-cam to extend their short limit (supposed to happen in December). In the meantime, here's our blog post to help you! ellii.com/blog/so-vs-too
There are a couple of different meanings for this phrasal verb. The most common is to exit a large method of transportation (e.g., I got off the bus/ship/plane). Another one that's less common is when a criminal isn't sentenced by a judge (e.g., The murderer got off on a technicality so he won't be going to jail). Hope that helps!
@@ellii ok thanks so much..... If I say: Maria is so beautiful that Bryan can't get his eyes off her. the use of get off as a phrasal verb is correct? thanks a lot...
Hi Helen, the verb you need there is "take" in the idiom "can't take your eyes off someone." "Get off" doesn't make sense there. So the correct sentence is "Maria is so beautiful that Bryan can't take his eyes off (of) her."
We're happy to help! You need "on" because you mentioned the full date. Here are the differences: He passed his exam on 27 March 1974. / He passed his exam in March 1974.

I have a question, which one is correct: on holiday/ in holiday?
And between: on the holiday/ in the holiday?

Nice! You used all three of those prepositions of time correctly. Well done!
The spelling of color is correct and colour is also correct.
That's right! "Color" is the American English spelling and "colour" is the Canadian and British English spelling.

How about "summertime", what preposition should we use?
We use "in" for long periods of time like week, month, season, and year. So we can say "in summertime" or "in the summertime." Both are common.
