Prepositions Make a Difference: “HEAR OF” & “HEAR ABOUT”
Вставка

- What’s the difference between “hear of” and “hear about”? I explain in this grammar lesson, and also give you a chance to practice using these two common phrases. If you have “heard of” something or someone, it means you are aware that something or someone exists. If you have “heard about” something or someone, it means you have heard some news or more detailed information about something or someone. Watch the class to see these phrases in context, and practice listening to and repeating the example sentences. When you’re done, do the quiz to test your understanding. www.engvid.com/prepositions-h...

Hello Sir, I want to study the English language from scratch to professionalism. I do not know where to start. I want a study plan, Professor

Good to know! 😅
@@engvidAlexhello gd morning sir. I do research in grammar. I have a question. Tom likes reading the book. Passive.1 Tom likes being read the book. 2. The book is liked being read by Tom. Actually being is used for passive of ing forms. Which one is correct. Most of grammar books do not talk of this. Eg. Raymond murphy. Michel mcarthy. Only martin hewings or michel swan talked about this structure. Reply
You brought up a very good point when you pointed out Juventus Football Club about Scandal
Besides the great lessons you give us, I always look forward to your interesting shirts:))
Happy to hear that! 😅 I’ll have some new ones in 2024.
Yes! I've heard about it.
Profesor!
Ok. I've never seen this movie before and I'll check it out with my children soon!!!)))
It’s an old one and has some mixed reviews, but I enjoy it.
Hi Alex. I checked out The Last Unicorn's song, it is great! Thank you for the class and the song recommendation 😊.
I’m glad you liked it, Humberto! It’s one of my favourites. I have it permanently on my phone. :)
Thank you very much dear teacher for this video, it was very helpful. I have a question concerning the two words "ever" and "never". Can we use them interchangeably as you did in your examples? ( "I've heard of Lizzo, but I don't think I've ever heard one of her songs" and "I've never heard of..." ) if yes please when can we do that?
Great question, I think you can't use Never if you have already used a negation.
"I don't think I've ever heard of' if you use Never you are invalidating the previous negation. That is what I think, I'm a english learner.
@@javi30170 I see, thanks a lot.
You can use “never” as you’ve done in your example. For “ever” in statements where it can be replaced with “never” with a change in meaning, it’s quite common when there is a negative embedding phrase before it. Here is what I mean:
I don’t know…
I don’t think…
I’m not sure…
It isn’t known if…
I’d like to know if…
I have no idea…
“I have no idea if he’s ever been there.” (“He has never been there” has a difference in meaning here, as I’m sure you can see!)
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.”
(“I’ve never seen it before” has a different meaning here too…it’s a definitive statement and not an “I don’t know…”)
I hope this helps! You can play with the structures but the meaning will be different.
@@engvidAlex I see, thanks a lot ❤
Usually it is a question have you heard o/about ..so how can I know the other person know or not
Still to get differences and how to use them.more examples
It's just dawned on me that in Eastern Slavic languages
hear of - means знати про щось, знати про існування чогось
hear about - бути в курсі, знати про подію
A- Did you hear of Mr Alex? He is really an Teacher Teacher.
B- Yes, I did. I know him well. Did you hear about his last conference ?
A- No, I didn't. But I know that his speech is always great and admirable.

I've heard of Butan. I've heard about that car accident
What if we add intensifiers or modifiers?
Have you heard of John?
Yes I have heard a lot of/about him.
This is definitely common with “hear about.” 👍
La sociedad a ganado un profesor y ha perdido un cantante. Cantas bien. Bueno voy a repasar este video.
