    If I were Rupert I wouldn't expect '-tion' words as something that non-natieves probably never heard. You know why, right? Because we have our versions of this latin words in all the languages. As an educated russian I already know what stratifika-ция means.
    Anyway, thank you for this idea. Eloquently using C2++ lvl words is my natural way to think and express myself in my mother tongue. So even when chatting at C1 level in a foregn language I don't actally feel like myself still. This kind of videos would help a lot. Thank You!

    Hello Rupert,
    Thank you for this captivating, thought-provoking vocabulary lesson.
    I only got n.10 wrong. I've come across those vocabulary during my study or simply when reading - I'm an avid reader. Also, some of those words have Latin and Greek roots and some like "camaraderie" comes from French - same room - those words are easier, for me at least.
    The word "tinge" can also be used to describe an amotion someone is feeling: "I felt a tinge of regret when I looked back on my choices". I love using the word "tinge" in such a context.
    Thanks again...

    • @EnglishwithRupert
      @EnglishwithRupert  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi Fabiana - that's a really good score! All of the words are considered to be C2 level by many different sources, so getting 10 correct shows you are doing well!
      It is true that a lot of advanced English words have a French root - after the French conquered Britain in 1066, the elite classes from France influenced a lot of our language at the "formal" end - meaning there are now some "free" words for learners from Latin-based languages!!
      And thank you for reminding us of the extra meaning of "tinge" - yes, it can mean a slight hint of something without referring to a colour, too :)

    Are the following sentences correct?
    1) I am proud to have been living in this beautiful city for the last 8 years.
    2) The Taj Mahal is heard/said to have been being built for 22 years.
    3) The event was reported to be being held at the Netaji indoor stadium.
    4) He was pretending to be being humiliated in the meeting.
    Can I use article 'The' before the names of garden, museum and statdium?

    • @PREMKUMAR-fm6dq
      @PREMKUMAR-fm6dq 2 місяці тому

      While the first sentence appears to be grammatically correct, the second and the third sentences are not correct. (2) The Taj Mahal is said to have taken 22 years to be built. (3) The event was reported to have been held at the Netaji Indoor Stadium.

    • @EnglishwithRupert
      @EnglishwithRupert  2 місяці тому

      I agree with the commenter about the first sentence. Sentences 2-4 could be correct grammatically under very specific conditions, but the combination of be + passive continuous is not particularly coherent, and tends to be replaced with easier to follow alternatives.

      Well done for having a go! Knowing 7 out of 20 C2 level words (IELTS 8 and above) is very good for a non-native speaker, and I can tell from the way you wrote your message that you can communicate with English successfully in the vast majority of situations.
      When it comes to money, we use the word "Quid". It sounds very similar to "Quit"! "Quid" simply means "Pounds" i.e. our currency :)

    Which preposition and article will be appropriate for this sentence?
    1)He always plays games at/on a high graphics setting.
    2) He always plays games at/on the high graphics setting.
    3) He always plays games at/on high graphics settings.
    4)He always plays games on/at the high graphics settings.
    5) He always plays games on/at high graphics.
    6) He always plays games on/at the high graphics.
    7) I am pouring some water on/onto/upon the trees.
    I think in case of number 7, all the prepositions are correct.

    • @EnglishwithRupert
      @EnglishwithRupert  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi Dan!
      Numbers 1 to 4 - Both "at" or "on" are possible. My native intuition tells me that "on" is preferable, unless using the superlative in which case I'd prefer "at the highest", and also perhaps number 1 ("at a high graphics setting"). I have a feeling there might have been a US/UK difference between "at" and "on" in such contexts in the past (I'm guessing a bit here), but exposure to both forms through the internet has led to either being considered acceptable nowadays.
      Numbers 5 to 6 - I don't think we use "high graphics" as a phrase on its own particularly often; it's usually "high graphics" + something else (level/settings/capabilities, etc). You may find some examples of this phrase in isolation, but I would recommend avoiding it.
      Number 7 - all seem ok to me
      :)

    Initially my level is advance means ( c1) however I got away with second part of difficult words I know did couple of misconceptions in the way to rectified them but I could only one of them right however 3rd and final section of difficult words I got through with good efforts I reckon in seldom I did some wrong pick-ups but proficiency level was absolutely blinder to me albeit natives could become confused and struggle's when they goes to answer one of those very advanced words nonetheless I got full mark's there along with 12/20 as I've told that middle section was tricky but as you know I did utterly good with them where I stand please let me know that what's my level?

    • @EnglishwithRupert
      @EnglishwithRupert  2 місяці тому +1

      Well done - 12/20 is really good!! This is the hardest test I've ever written for UA-cam - some native speakers might do well to get 18/20 or more. As far as vocabulary *knowledge* is concerned, I would guess 12/20 would put you somewhere close to the boundary between C1 and C2. To achieve C2 in terms of English usage, you would need to be able to use these 12 words in fluent speech. I hope that helps. Thanks for commenting 🙂
