Kevin, you teach AMERICAN English, but Lucy is British, and she obviously teaches BRITISH English! You should know that there are great differences in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation between these two languages!
British people ALSO say "made out of". The dialect is not an excuse, every English-speaking country uses that expression. Even if Lucy only teaches British English, she can't say that the phrase "My wedding ring is made out of gold" is not correct. That's just misleading for students
@@dannyjorde2677I think the issue here is that Lucy is teaching formal, grammatically correct English, while Kevin is teaching what native speakers say, which might not always be technically correct, but sounds natural
English is not my first language, but I've been learning it for 40 years and mostly have no problems with it. However, after listening to Lucy and others, I've realized that I know nothing. Thank you so much; you've made it all make sense to me now! That's how people actually speak, and that's what I do too, and no problems at all.
You could not pick it up dear. Kevin even gave native speaker's examples ))) If you like watching attractive blonde teachers who make mistake, continue doing it. This place is not for you, that's all.
Quick google search returns: "We usually use made out of when we talk about something that has been changed or transformed from one thing into another: In the 1970s, it was popular to have candle-holders made out of wine bottles. They were living in tents made out of old plastic sheets." So Lucy is not wrong.
Here's a quiz. Which one is correct? 1. This isn't a mistake 2. This ain't a mistake Be careful, if you say the correct answer is 1, I will show you lots of movie clips where real people say "ain't." 😉
Thanks Lisa and Kevin for reinforcing real English through examples which help us improve not only our pronunciation but also our vocabulary and grammar.
Even Artificial Intelligences such as (Chat GPT, Ai Praktika) claim that it is correct to say "My wedding ring is made of gold" OF ... THAT MEANS, The Lusy is Right ✅️ 👌
Not really im afraid. Both 'out' and "out of' are also used in Britain, just like in America. Lucy misleads in her video. And they're not over the top, if anyone is so it's those YT english teachers who tell their viewers to stop saying XYZ. They're absolutely right to criticise them. E.g a channel called Linguamarina - the girl in it makes tons of mistakes both in grammar and pronunciation, misuses wrds etc I am glad to see people who react to those videos
Yeah you're right, BUT we, as learners, have to learn what's correct and what's not, that's why we gotta learn English Grammar. When we get to know enough English Grammar that's when we're gonna have to decide whether to speak correctly or not, it's gonna be up to us, as simple as that buddy.

The ring is made of gold, nonetheless. Perhaps you and all these native speakers should improve their English. The same is true for "wait." "Wait for him" and "wait on him" are two completely different things. The fact that natives mix them up doesn't make it correct. So, your approach is basically that if natives blunder, we should too.
This channel is my constant favorite. I consider it a great success that he was once caught in the recommendations of UA-cam. Omnivorous at the initial stage of learning English, when it was difficult to understand what was useful and correct, was replaced by an approach to choosing quality. And the value of this channel, as well as the value of good wine, over time and against the background of other offers is obvious and undeniable.
Ig the difference lies in standard American English (or British). There are standard textbook explanations which you should learn. But there are hundreds of millions of people all around the globe who speak English, therefore such variations are inevitable. Is it textbook English? No. Is it incorrect? No. Depends on whether you wanna sound colloquial and get your point across or grammatically right, which can be very significant in certain circumstances. I don't totally agree with Kevin, since he kind of attacks other creators. Mostly rightfully though. And I also think it's good, since people sometimes doubt themselves too much in even such small things as "of / out of / from / with", which can be discouraging. When in reality, it doesn't really matter if you just want to talk. As he said that nobody uses "lay" as the V2 form of the verb "lie". That is not true. People use it. You can hear it. It doesn't only exist in books.
"It sounds right" is not a way of discriminating what is 'wrong' or 'right'. There are grammar rules to determine that. Some uses of English are changing such as 'less' and 'there's' used for contable nouns. Not grammatically correct ... yet. 'Lie' and 'lay' are confused by native speakers, but just because they're used badly a lot doesn't make them right. So, it's not 'nonsense'. Your title will get you more clicks though.
Yeah you're right, all those are mistakes and natives already know that BUT they're used to speaking with those mistakes even though they know they're speaking incorrectly BUT they don't care because it's their own language and they can speak it any way they want, we, as learners, have to learn what's correct and what's not, as simple as that buddy.

Well, if someone writes "On accident" in their English tests, it will be wrong. The same wait On. Doesn't matter if half the town speaks like that on a daily basis. At least British exams.
I'm from Brazil and I have an American friend who lives here and teaches English in English courses. Once another who was used to teaching British English used the word "revision". She was talking about a grammar exercise she would give her students to prepare them for the final tests. He said the word revision was incorrect. The correct one was "review". It turned out that he himself checked that later and found out that in British English the word "revision" was used. Sorry if I made mistakes.
Unfortunately I don’t trust Lucy especially when she made content with Marina Mogilko. It’s not professionally to make a video with Mogilko she hasn’t any degree which prove her skills as a teacher. I have no idea why Lucy did that collaboration. It was a fail.
The correct phrase is “by accident.” While “on accident” is sometimes used informally, particularly in American English, it is not considered standard or grammatically correct in formal writing.
It's completely irrelevant how it's used in practice. It is absolutely grammatically correct what Lucy said. You just nitpicked what is wrong according to you, yet you didn't explain the reason behind them.
What people say is not completely irrelevant. Kevin is teaching us colloquial American English. It might not be technically correct but it sounds natural to native speakers. It depends on what your goal is, if you want to learn how to speak like an American, do what Kevin says.
People also say drunk instead of drunken, broke instead of broken, ain't instead of isn't, good instead of well, etc etc etc. Ignorance is a norm. Literacy is a piece of work
@@HS-handle It's not that they don't know the Grammar of their own language it's just that they got used to speaking like that all the time. We gotta take into account that Lucy's a british native speaker and maybe for british people there are some differences when using those phrasal verbs, I mean, made out of, made of, made from and made with.
Did I see a "biased" example at the beginning of the video when you talk about politics? I don't think it is a good idea, folks! And by the way, Lucy teaches British English focused on grammar rules.
The word "Politics" alone can debunk the rules for pronouncing the letter t as a quick d. It's between 2 vowels and the stress is on the first syllable. I think it's safe to say that the English language has no rules.
if all it takes to be correct is to be born and raised in the United States, then parents of American children should be exempt from having to attend English classes. I couldn't care less, and I could care less have opposite meanings. It is like saying that the expressions "I killed my wife" and 'I didn't Kill my wife" mean the same thing. I don't think it is wise to dumb down education any more than it already is in order to flatter the egos of our narcissistic students. Logic is an essential attribute of intelligent discourse. Many linguistic conventions are devoid of logic. That doesn't mean that they should be banned by teachers, however their lack of logic should be pointed out by them.
@@chomudusha I guess Veronica's from russia or maybe Belarus since she's got a slight, and sometimes strong, Eastern European accent. And I gotta admit, she's a pretty skilled English learner. But, like I mentioned earlier, she does mess up pronunciation and grammar sometimes. So, using the phrasal verb "look about" in this context, which means to glance around or survey one's surroundings, is nonsense for her English skills. She definitely said "talk about," and as you can see, that part is now removed from the video.
I think the reason some people think there is one correct way to say something is because most of these usages of words and phrases is generally new. native speakers tend to drop common words which have been used for a long time as archaic or old fashion and coin new ones. I think this is what is at play here. Besides, most notable English speakers are the English and the Americans. they have a lot in common but also a lot is different. some prepositions usages in England differ from those in America. "different than" is considered correct in the USA but wrong in English. i guess because it evolved in the USA and has been used for a long time now that it is considered correct. For the English or the British, it will take some time. I guess my point here is that while some people use English plainly wrongly, some use it seemingly wrongly but correct due to a different context which may not be familiar with a certain person or group.
I like that guy more and more ,he's looking like a standap comic 😅i like to listen about Russian teachers, because 95 %of them just scammers😅you need to search in internet you will find a lot of 😂
Lucy teaches grammatically correct English and she's British native speaker.It's just you don't have a brain to decide whom should you follow to learn English.
Lucy's a qualified teacher buddy, I guess it's just that those phrasal verbs are used in different contexts and that's what Kevin forgot to mention, I mean, he didn't say WHY Lucy is wrong IF she's wrong but I don't think so.
@@fredylopez2477 She wasn't wrong.The way we use some phrases are grammatically wrong but we don't care because they sound natural in everyday conversation.Lucy just taught grammatically correct English.
Kevin is correct. One thing is saying that a certain phrase is your favorite one. Another totally different thing is saying that this form is the only possible one. Native speakers of any language make mistakes. That's no big deal when it happens during a casual Interaction, but when the native speaker is TEACHING, that's a whole different thing. Thank you for your work, guys! Thank you for clearing out so many things. I've been binge-watching your channel since yesterday afternoon and I can't help being hooked on your content. 🎉🎉🎉
While "on accident" is commonly used in informal speech, it is not considered grammatically correct in standard English. The correct phrase is "by accident." Why "by accident" is correct: "By" is the standard preposition used to indicate an unintentional action or event. Example: "I spilled the drink by accident." "On accident" in informal speech: Many native speakers, especially in informal contexts, might say "on accident," but it is generally regarded as non-standard or colloquial English. In more formal contexts, it's best to stick with "by accident." So, while you might hear "on accident" from time to time, using "by accident" is the grammatically correct choice.
It's not correct to say ON ACCIDENT yet Americans use it just as the opposite of on purpose and it catches on because they all hear it, repeat it and accept it. BY ACCIDENT is ✓ On Accident is ×
I just wonder which source material is considered to be the one and only, both for US and UK "languages". In France, A.F. "L'académie française" was created to be just that, but language is an elusive subject, always evolving and cross-breeding with slang and foreign languages, otherwise it is a dead language, primarily an oral communication tool, which has to be followed by its written transcription, not mentioning the neighbouring countries + ex-colonies variations (such as EN/UK/US/...). So, even A.F. choices in French are debatable, controversial, and political ! I doubt there is only one absolute reference for any language, and using movies/video dialog is a random one, even if these are examples of "native use" "usual use", but I think this is debatable. I wish there was a more balanced way to present a language, showing both current grammatical references (dictionaries,...) and usual current references (which by the way are full of errors - from which some of them will become the norm). So please, stop this war, use a more balanced way. (I am not a language teacher, just a languages fan, don't shoot me).
Well Kevin, according to what you said, I've got to come to the conclusion that; Made out of, made of, made from and made with. Can be used interchangeably and indistinctly in american English. BUT what happens with the british English and remember that Lucy's a british native speaker, maybe for british people, all those expressions or phrasal verbs have slight differences in meaning, depending on context ?. Thanks in advance for answering 👍. Anyway I'd like Kevin to explain the differences among those expressions or verbs. 👍.
If a native speaker makes mistakes as lucy does... That's how a native speaker speaks in spoken English... So why should we try to not look like one of them? We are trying to look like someone who come straight out of a university... If so, why don't we just enroll in any of them? Or English for everyone will teach us as if we were in any won't they?
The problem with this guy is that he cannot conceive of the idea of different variations of English other than his. English is so varied and widespread that slight differences and preferances for nuance is unavoidable. The way Lucy explains the difference between made of and made out of is exactly in line with the Oxford English dictionary. The degree to which every native speaker is actually going to follow this in every variation of English is another thing but it is petty to chalk it up as a mistake on her part. If anything it is to exact. To accuse others of mistakes to then overconfidently cross out maths as wrong because it is not American is hillarious. The word is maths for most of the world.
While I like English with Lucy, I was also confused about the preposition „From” being incorrect. I distinctly remember this example from school (ESL) - When you recycle/change one thing to make sth completely different, we had FROM in our Oxford books. This shopping bag was made from my old jeans, something like that.
Kevin gave real native videos. Do that people look uneducated ? Please watch the episode one more time )))) Forget your books of English, when you travel to US you will be shocked like me....
If your only aim and need is speaking you can make many mistakes, but many foreigners take tests in English for professional reasons or to study abroad and have to learn academic language. So, better not forget about books. Grammars and channels like Lucy's will teach you correct standard English.
I am an avid learner of your content. May I please, wants to know about the difference of On, For? The ex. He congratulate him On or For passing the exam. Which is appropriate to use? Thanks teachers.
Hi Kevin, I think this video is confusing. Lucy's "rules" are restrictive, but they aren't entirely wrong. They still provide non-native speakers with some guidance. For instance, you discussed "made of gold" vs. "made out of gold," but you didn’t explain why "made from gold" or "made with gold" wouldn’t work in that context. Does this mean you agree with Lucy on that? And, btw, Lucy is saying in her video, "...if you mix up these prepositions, people will still understand what you're trying to say. I've heard loads of people say --'this table is made out of wood' or 'my bag is made of plastic bottles.' Don't let worrying about these prepositions get in the way of your communication."
Americans make a bunch of mistakes all the time! Just because it sounds natural for you doesn't mean it's grammatically right. You use adjectives instead of adverbs,less in place of fewer,lie and lay are two different verbs and the second form of lie is lay that's why you confuse them often.Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, I live in Canada and we speak American English here and everything that Kevin is talking about in this video holds true here in Canada. Canada and America are the biggest countries in the world (after Russia, of course) so why would I care what Lucy says?? The UK is smaller than Ontario so I don’t think her dialect is relevant. Just saying. Even Ireland speaks American English so British English is relatively questionable at this point. Australia? It’s so far that no one even knows what dialect is spoken there.

@@chomudusha I guess Veronica's from russia or maybe Belarus since she's got a slight, and sometimes strong, Eastern European accent. And I gotta admit, she's a pretty skilled English learner. But, like I mentioned earlier, she does mess up pronunciation and grammar sometimes. So, using the phrasal verb "look about" in this context, which means to glance around or survey one's surroundings, is nonsense for her English skills. She definitely said "talk about," and as you can see, that part is now removed from the video.
Thank you 👍❤.
Now I know who really comlicates English....
Thank you 👍
I think the reason some people think there is one correct way to say something is because most of these usages of words and phrases is generally new. native speakers tend to drop common words which have been used for a long time as archaic or old fashion and coin new ones. I think this is what is at play here. Besides, most notable English speakers are the English and the Americans. they have a lot in common but also a lot is different. some prepositions usages in England differ from those in America. "different than" is considered correct in the USA but wrong in English. i guess because it evolved in the USA and has been used for a long time now that it is considered correct. For the English or the British, it will take some time. I guess my point here is that while some people use English plainly wrongly, some use it seemingly wrongly but correct due to a different context which may not be familiar with a certain person or group.
I like that guy more and more ,he's looking like a standap comic 😅i like to listen about Russian teachers, because 95 %of them just scammers😅you need to search in internet you will find a lot of 😂
I agree with Kevin and Lisa. I think this demonstration is useful for letting us know who not to follow in order to learn English properly.
Are you seriously implying Lucy is not a qualified English teacher? Cmon man, out of all teachers on the internet, Lucy might be the most seasoned one
Lucy teaches grammatically correct English and she's British native speaker.It's just you don't have a brain to decide whom should you follow to learn English.
Lucy's a qualified teacher buddy, I guess it's just that those phrasal verbs are used in different contexts and that's what Kevin forgot to mention, I mean, he didn't say WHY Lucy is wrong IF she's wrong but I don't think so.
@@fredylopez2477 She wasn't wrong.The way we use some phrases are grammatically wrong but we don't care because they sound natural in everyday conversation.Lucy just taught grammatically correct English.
@@sonic-b1n
Yeah it could be.
Also is it a thing that people say real instead of really like the movie was real good or the soccer game was real good
I’ve always thought Lucy was a British woman because of her accent! But I now realize it makes sense the use of “ made out of…”
She IS british!
Good efforts 🎉
I think it goes back to the context. Sometimes both are correct.
Kevin is correct. One thing is saying that a certain phrase is your favorite one. Another totally different thing is saying that this form is the only possible one. Native speakers of any language make mistakes. That's no big deal when it happens during a casual Interaction, but when the native speaker is TEACHING, that's a whole different thing. Thank you for your work, guys! Thank you for clearing out so many things. I've been binge-watching your channel since yesterday afternoon and I can't help being hooked on your content. 🎉🎉🎉
Wait for and wait on mean different things. Of course, there are undereducated people who just don't care much
While "on accident" is commonly used in informal speech, it is not considered grammatically correct in standard English. The correct phrase is "by accident."
Why "by accident" is correct:
"By" is the standard preposition used to indicate an unintentional action or event.
Example: "I spilled the drink by accident."
"On accident" in informal speech:
Many native speakers, especially in informal contexts, might say "on accident," but it is generally regarded as non-standard or colloquial English. In more formal contexts, it's best to stick with "by accident."
So, while you might hear "on accident" from time to time, using "by accident" is the grammatically correct choice.
It's not correct to say ON ACCIDENT yet Americans use it just as the opposite of on purpose and it catches on because they all hear it, repeat it and accept it. BY ACCIDENT is ✓ On Accident is ×
great content!! a lot of teachers just end up confusing us
This poc freaks me out , Kevin u rock ❤
4:36 she actually said "talk about"
Can you tell me why lay sown and lie down are the same to i ask a person to lie down
Is that the grammarians - linguists conflict or something
Just a query, are World Englishes taken into account when it comes to present grammar and vocabulary items?
Heyyyyyyyy thank you guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just wonder which source material is considered to be the one and only, both for US and UK "languages". In France, A.F. "L'académie française" was created to be just that, but language is an elusive subject, always evolving and cross-breeding with slang and foreign languages, otherwise it is a dead language, primarily an oral communication tool, which has to be followed by its written transcription, not mentioning the neighbouring countries + ex-colonies variations (such as EN/UK/US/...). So, even A.F. choices in French are debatable, controversial, and political ! I doubt there is only one absolute reference for any language, and using movies/video dialog is a random one, even if these are examples of "native use" "usual use", but I think this is debatable. I wish there was a more balanced way to present a language, showing both current grammatical references (dictionaries,...) and usual current references (which by the way are full of errors - from which some of them will become the norm). So please, stop this war, use a more balanced way. (I am not a language teacher, just a languages fan, don't shoot me).
Well Kevin, according to what you said, I've got to come to the conclusion that;
Made out of, made of, made from and made with.
Can be used interchangeably and indistinctly in american English.
BUT what happens with the british English and remember that Lucy's a british native speaker, maybe for british people, all those expressions or phrasal verbs have slight differences in meaning, depending on context ?.
Thanks in advance for answering 👍.
Anyway I'd like Kevin to explain the differences among those expressions or verbs. 👍.
Restroom is a British word 😂😂😂😂....
Lavatory is British word , or water closer, washroom
i think British english is a bit different in terms of grammar ,so i wouldn´t say lucy is wrong
If a native speaker makes mistakes as lucy does... That's how a native speaker speaks in spoken English... So why should we try to not look like one of them? We are trying to look like someone who come straight out of a university... If so, why don't we just enroll in any of them? Or English for everyone will teach us as if we were in any won't they?
The problem with this guy is that he cannot conceive of the idea of different variations of English other than his. English is so varied and widespread that slight differences and preferances for nuance is unavoidable. The way Lucy explains the difference between made of and made out of is exactly in line with the Oxford English dictionary. The degree to which every native speaker is actually going to follow this in every variation of English is another thing but it is petty to chalk it up as a mistake on her part. If anything it is to exact. To accuse others of mistakes to then overconfidently cross out maths as wrong because it is not American is hillarious. The word is maths for most of the world.
❤
While I like English with Lucy, I was also confused about the preposition „From” being incorrect. I distinctly remember this example from school (ESL) -
When you recycle/change one thing to make sth completely different, we had FROM in our Oxford books. This shopping bag was made from my old jeans, something like that.
Kevin gave real native videos. Do that people look uneducated ? Please watch the episode one more time )))) Forget your books of English, when you travel to US you will be shocked like me....
even if you watched UA-cam, movies etc understanding up to 80-90% of the content.
If your only aim and need is speaking you can make many mistakes, but many foreigners take tests in English for professional reasons or to study abroad and have to learn academic language. So, better not forget about books. Grammars and channels like Lucy's will teach you correct standard English.
@@mariashevyrova3730Not everyone wants to travel to USA. Please. It's ridiculous
❤❤❤
Stress after the letter "t" in "politics"? Really? Come on, guys. Are you French?
It's a secondary stress.
I am an avid learner of your content.
May I please, wants to know about the difference of On, For?
The ex. He congratulate him On or For passing the exam. Which is appropriate to use?
Thanks teachers.
Doesn't "I left my wallet in the car" mean that the wallet was left there intentionally?
Sometimes people invent mistakes to make new videos 😂 hilarious
Yeah, it could be, I mean, there's a possibility.
Is it correct to say: a couple years ago instead of a couple OF years ago?
Nonsense, indeed!
Hi Kevin, I think this video is confusing. Lucy's "rules" are restrictive, but they aren't entirely wrong. They still provide non-native speakers with some guidance. For instance, you discussed "made of gold" vs. "made out of gold," but you didn’t explain why "made from gold" or "made with gold" wouldn’t work in that context. Does this mean you agree with Lucy on that?
And, btw, Lucy is saying in her video, "...if you mix up these prepositions, people will still understand what you're trying to say. I've heard loads of people say --'this table is made out of wood' or 'my bag is made of plastic bottles.' Don't let worrying about these prepositions get in the way of your communication."
Literally English is a wrong language.
Lucy and poc are the best stop it
thanks!!! 🤣
People also say [raut] where it should be [ruːt] or "lay" where it should be "lie"😆 And aren't the Brits true native speakers for you Americans?
Americans make a bunch of mistakes all the time! Just because it sounds natural for you doesn't mean it's grammatically right. You use adjectives instead of adverbs,less in place of fewer,lie and lay are two different verbs and the second form of lie is lay that's why you confuse them often.Correct me if I'm wrong.
Americans are always messing with the language.
but ur natives u show us, are they educated ones? Because wait ON and first example sound rustic
You're really doing a great job. Really appreciate it.
Videos of this channel get 3000-1000 views, while videos of these fake teachers are getting hundred thousand views. It just shows how easy regular people are fooled. :D
You are fantastic! Keep doing this sort of lesson, it's great and everyone can see the difference among the English teachers.
Great job in promoting other channels 😂
Onko tämä nyt viisasta. Toiset irvailevat toisia. Eikä teillä ole muuta tekemistä. FIN. Is this really wise? Some are mocking others. Don't you have anything better to do?
Dang! Lucy is wrong 😅
No, she’s not
Well, I live in Canada and we speak American English here and everything that Kevin is talking about in this video holds true here in Canada. Canada and America are the biggest countries in the world (after Russia, of course) so why would I care what Lucy says?? The UK is smaller than Ontario so I don’t think her dialect is relevant. Just saying. Even Ireland speaks American English so British English is relatively questionable at this point. Australia? It’s so far that no one even knows what dialect is spoken there.
Good lesson...
Thanks a bunch
shame u Lucy
Lucy don't know how to pronounce words
