Good question, M.S.! Almost all adverbs of frequency follow three question patterns: one for the Be verb, one for simple present or past verbs, and one for other two-part verbs. Be verb pattern = Be + S + Adv (e.g., Are you usually tired on Monday mornings?) Present/Past verb pattern = Do/Did + S + Adv + V (e.g., Do you always eat breakfast?) Two-part verb pattern = Aux + S + Adv + V (e.g., Are you always thinking about that?)
I have a question Why do you use the present continuous in "You are always looking at your phone." instead of the present simple "You always look at your phone?"
This is a great question because adverbs of frequency usually take a simple present verb like "look." "You always look at your phone" is correct, but so is "You are always looking at your phone." Sometimes we use the present progressive with an adverb of frequency (especially "always") to emphasize the long, continuing nature of the action. Here's the difference in meaning: - You always look at your phone when I'm talking to you. (This could mean you only take a quick look at your phone OR that you look at your phone for a long time.) - You are always looking at your phone when I'm talking to you. (This means you look at your phone for a long time.) When in doubt, use the simple present because it is always correct, whereas the present progressive is only sometimes correct. Hope that helps!
I also have another question .. I'm just confused how the answer to it would be When I'm asked how fast is the horse? Is it correct to say It's about 88 kph. Or It runs about 88 kph. Are these two answers correct. Similarly: How heavy is the horse? It's 380 - 550 kg. Or It weighs 380 - 550 kg. And how to say the answer in words. It's between 380 and 550 kg. Sorry for taking too long.
@@marwamohammed5663 Hi again, it's similar to your question about about always looking. "You always cry" means either you cry every day or you are crying now and it's common for you. "You're always crying" emphasizes that you're crying now and it's common for you.
@@marwamohammed5663 You can say both "it's 380-550 kg" or "It weighs 380-550 kg" because weight is a characteristic of appearance. But you can't say "It's about 88 kph" because that's not a characteristic of appearance. You can only say "It runs about 88 kph." You're correct that you would say "between/and when you read out something with an en dash.
We have two playlists full of grammar videos! Find them here: th-cam.com/play/PL0MvnNQjMzmbT19jEPA18aypjjde_zyo4.html and th-cam.com/play/PL0MvnNQjMzmYF0vNbBs_3p0rO13qhgv_N.html
English has a ton of words with silent letters, and the "t" in "often" is one of them. In American and Canadian English, we usually don't pronoun the /t/ sound. If you're speaking slowly or formally, you might pronounce the /t/, but usually "often" sounds like /ɑ' fən/. It's the same way we pronounce "listen" (no /t/) but different from how we pronounce "after" (with the /t/ sound).
You can change the CCs into any language by clicking on the settings icon (bottom right in the playbar) and selecting Subtitles/CCs, then Auto-translate, then your language. Hope that helps!
Good examples, but watch out for the subject-verb agreement. With a singular noun, we need -s or -es on the verb. The correct sentence is: Okatay always washes his face.

@@ellii yes, I got you point. Thanks.
Would you please explain the difference in meaning between "You always cry." and "You're always crying."
I also have another question .. I'm just confused how the answer to it would be
When I'm asked how fast is the horse?
Is it correct to say
It's about 88 kph. Or It runs about 88 kph.
Are these two answers correct.
Similarly:
How heavy is the horse?
It's 380 - 550 kg. Or It weighs 380 - 550 kg.
And how to say the answer in words.
It's between 380 and 550 kg.
Sorry for taking too long.

Who study at Aii?
why word "often" you pronounce with "t" ?
English has a ton of words with silent letters, and the "t" in "often" is one of them. In American and Canadian English, we usually don't pronoun the /t/ sound. If you're speaking slowly or formally, you might pronounce the /t/, but usually "often" sounds like /ɑ' fən/. It's the same way we pronounce "listen" (no /t/) but different from how we pronounce "after" (with the /t/ sound).

Okatay, always washes his face.
I sometimes cook.
