We're glad it helped, Destiny. Some people get confused about articles, and there are ways native English speakers use them that are not taught properly. We will also make some of these issues clearer in later videos. Visit www.englishlogica.com for lots more content. :)

Hi there I have a question. I saw that we can use a/an instead of 'one'. I mean, when I say 'I want a computer.' Does that mean 'I want just one computer but two, three or four computer etc. Or like any computer is fine; it doesn't have to be a particular one. You'd be really helping me out
Yes, if you say "I want a computer", this just means that you want any computer - no particular one. If someone gave you a choice between a phone or a computer, you could say, "I would prefer the computer".
When you are talking about something specific (i.e. among other things), there is an article; such as "I like the milk chocolate (as opposed to the dark chocolate)". Thanks for pointing out that it was not clear in this example. We will take a look and see how we can make this clearer. :)
I feel confused about "I like the milk chocolate". Why can't one just say "I like milk chocolate". If you mean milk chocolate in general why use a definite article there?
That's a good question and it can be confusing. You would only use the article here if you were making a comparison with, for example, something that had dark chocolate in it. Imagine different ice-cream flavours, and the server was pointing at them and asking if you liked 'the milk chocolate' (ice-cream) or 'the dark chocolate' (ice-cream). You could say 'I like the milk chocolate'. Note that this would work without an article. The word 'prefer' might work better here, and we might need to rethink our example in the video. I think it would work better if something more specific followed the word 'chocolate'; and if I was asked which I preferred in a box of mixed chocolates, I would say, 'the dark chocolate (ones)'.
Our apologies for that, Anna. On this particular video, we would need to produce an entirely new one without the audio track. Do you wish to use the video?

Hi there
I have a question.
I saw that we can use a/an instead of 'one'.
I mean, when I say
'I want a computer.'
Does that mean 'I want just one computer but two, three or four computer etc.
Or like any computer is fine; it doesn't have to be a particular one.
You'd be really helping me out

Ullenss!
Lol
'I like the milk chocolate'? I was going to use this with my students until I got to this bit.

music is too loud
You are correct. Here is the same video without music: th-cam.com/video/tUXesSjLBf4/w-d-xo.html

The music in the background is very disturbing
You're absolutely correct, Shamu. We will be making new versions of these older videos. Thanks for your feedback and best of luck with your learning.

The music is a distraction.

@@EnglishLogica Thank you!
How can you get rid of this awful music?? It's distracting.
Our apologies for that, Anna. On this particular video, we would need to produce an entirely new one without the audio track. Do you wish to use the video?
@@EnglishLogica I’d love to use the vid but without the music.
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/tUXesSjLBf4/w-d-xo.html

No, she is Irish. :)
@@EnglishLogicasorry, but it was close haha

Hi there. Can you explain what you didn't understand about this video?
the background music does not add anything to the experience. It detracts.
Thanks for your comment, Ken. We will consider either reducing the volume or removing music on future videos.
we do not care
