  • Learn about five of the most common grammar mistakes made by English students - and learn how to avoid them! Articles are an area where you may have trouble in English, because the rules on when to use them and when not to use them are probably different from your first language. Learn whether you should say “I’m an engineer” or “I’m engineer,” “I like apples” or “I like the apples,” and more. The rules for job titles, adjectives before nouns, public places, general statements, and superlatives are taught in this video. This is an essential beginner English lesson for students who want to improve their grammar and their speaking skills in English. Watch it, become more aware of these English article mistakes. Finally, make sure to do the quiz on EngVid to solidify your understanding. www.engvid.com/english-gramma...

    • @engvidAlex
      @engvidAlex  2 місяці тому

      Yes. Even if it’s not your usual bank, you can say “I have to go to the bank,” or “I’m at the bank” if someone asks you where you currently are.
      You can also say “I’m not at my normal bank. I had to use a different one.”

    • @engvidAlex

      Yes it does. If you’re part of a community, the article is usually dropped. The most common examples are: school, church, mosque, temple.

    Hello sir first cases
    1 There is some innocent people killed in the clash
    2 there is book lying on the table
    Here both "there" work like
    There =dummy subject
    And second cases
    1 There is killed some innocent people in the clash.
    2 there is lying a book on the table .
    Here both "there" work like
    There = adverb
    Am I correct. If i am right
    Third cases
    So when we use this sentence in subordinate clause
    Like this
    1 ..…........ Where there is killed some innocent people in the clash .
    2. ............when there is lying a book on the table
    Here my question is
    In both cases
    Is "There word " working like a
    Adverb or introductory.
    Please reply 🙂🙂

    Which is the correct :
    What kind of a person is your father.
    Or
    What kind of person is your father.
    I would be glad if you could clarify it please

    • @jonatanfriederichs7519
      @jonatanfriederichs7519 Рік тому +1

      The second one is more logic...
      When you ask for "what kind" the answer is one among the others... When you specify using "of a person" you restrict the possibilities to just one...

      Because he is alone in his greatness. He is at the top of the rankings. In this case, you must say “He is the greatest.” You can also say “He is one of the greatest” if you would like to say he is one of many great chefs.
