Was trying to explain this to my husband, however it's been a long time since i've studied English and the only thing i came up with was "using do/does only in questions regarding some actions". I've looked for other explanations, as he was still confused, and came across your video. Your way of teaching and explaining is admirable! Thanks a lot for helping us both! Will definitely subscribe to your channel!
These are the kinds of things people take for granted when they´re studying english. thanks. I really like the way you explain out your lessons. paused and methodical.
Sometimes I really get confused, with all these verbs and so forth. For instance, when you are including slangs or dialects etc., where someone is saying "Where is you from?" instead of "Where are you from?", because if you re-think this sentence construction, "is" represents singular where the "are" is for "plurale". The same goes with continuing in simple past with "didn't", like "Why didn't you go(ne) to school?", that is some confusion about the english formulation and building progress of a sentence. Nonetheless, "are" is also present tense, but at the same time it is very confusing for non-native english speakers. Also, what has confused me is "You good" instead of "You are good", why would there be an "are" in the first place? I reckon there are just grammatical and both correct(?) Another important point that "like" is less formal than "for example/instance" using instead, this is something I need to adjust in the future.

Thanks for your video. It's very helpful. I still have a question. The two sentences below they are pretty much similar, but the auxiliar verbs are different: - Who is that man? What ______ (he / want)? - Who is that man? Why ______ (he / look) at us? Why does that happen? Thank you
Perfect. I watched many videos in Spanish but I didn’t understand in my language. And I understood it with your explanation in English. Thank you so much.
+English Lessons with Alex (engVid AlexESLvid) Please clarify whether to use the following sentence this way or the other? I understand the difficulties of the students. or I understand the difficulty of the students. Any commenter here can reply please if u know. Which one is correct and why? I think the second one sounds good. Please sir.
By coincidence, I saw this video this morning, when making my lesson plan. Then, in the evening, I decided to see how good my new mic is, by doing some tongue twisters.... and surprise, surprise, guess who made a list of 50? (though honestly, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream." is not really a tongue twister, but 50 was a big promise, so whatever.) Good job Alex, you gave me the info that nobody seemed to plainly say
surely this lesson erase my long time doubt sir,before that i am very confusing for whichone is used do/be verbs,but now my problem sloved,thank u so much sir
Hi Alex, thank you for your good intention to try to teach English using UA-cam. I don't believe this type of questions is the best. You shoud not recite the wrong anwers. There are strong possiblities for the beginners that they would remember the wrong answers instead of right ones.
How are you doing dear mr. Alex? You are my the likest teacher in the engvid! Your explanations are so clear, suitable and fit for me. Thank you so very much for your useful work!
+Алексей Баринов when i am begin to learn english. i was watching video by AlexESLVid. thank for your help( Alex and teacher in Engvid). my life is brilliant when i know other people on the earth talk and share. thank a lot. at the moment, no word can describe my think.:D
Thanks a lot Alex! Very usefull lesson for me. Really I thought I never figure out when use do or be. I always used my intuition but turn out unbelivable you show us a rule in Englisg!! Wow!
Thank you so much for this lesson . Really useful , essential . Everything now is clear super thanks again!!! Even I don’t understand “base verb” but I understand “ only use Do for action “
From Brazil From Marcio People have these kind of problems cause they don't study enough Grammar Rules. They simply over look. I was ten years old when I started to study English Grammar. Nowadays, I haven't got this type of problem. When we learn English in Brazil... we first learn the To Be verb and Auxiliar Verbs as well...over and over again. One easier way to learn these questions is to listen to them. By doing this, learners will improve a lot.
+AstronoyBrasil I think many schools teach that way, and it's very helpful, but I think the focus is usually on memorizing the conjugation of the verb "to be" and not necessarily the various uses the verb has. I tried to add a little of that into this video to make it a little more engaging.
Good Evening, Teacher. It's two oclock in the morning in Brazil. I agree with you, but, Still the best way of learning is to listen to people talking each other.
In Russia we have the same problem. When I was young my teacher tried to explain all the tences. Past simple past perfect, future continious etc. That kind of teaching is so compicated. Then I tried to find out common rules of English grammar. Guess what? English is the easiest and full of logic language in the World. I love It.
De una maneta más simple podríamos decir que el verbo To Be es el infinitivo ser o estar, por lo que en el caso de "WANT", no diríamos "Estas tu quieres ir" ni diríamos "Eres tu quieres ir", sino que usuraríamos, "DO", el Do puede interpretarse en muchos casos como auxiliar sin ningún significado en especifico, lo que permitiría que este se convierta en "Tu quieres ir"
Thanks for the lesson teacher.. But I have a question.. What should I use if I want to say where I was born Were you born in the US? or Did you born in the US? Which one is correct and why?
Thank you! It was very helpful! I'm not a native speaker but I teach young students and I couldn't find the reason for this rule so thank you for the clear explanation:)
Hello! Thank's a lot for lessons! I didn't understand why in the sentence: Are you eat the skin of a fig? // real example, we use Are not Do, cause it is an action, it's should be Do. Maybe it's a mistake in the book.
+Hovhannes Stepanyan before start to learn english. i have been met lots of problem. i want to give up,when i see few video on youtube. i am glad to say that youtube channel is a good way to do it. Thanks

These are the kinds of things people take for granted when they´re studying english. thanks. I really like the way you explain out your lessons. paused and methodical.
+Johnny Valencia Thanks a lot, Johnny. In beginner lessons especially, I feel it's important to take this approach. Step by step is the best way.

English Lessons with Alex (engVid AlexESLvid
់)
Thank you sir, i have so many doubts but when i watched your video, it clears all my doubt
I am an arabic person and I understood the lesson clearly thank you mr. Alex
My understanding is if the sentence include the "notional verb" in we can use do/does/did, if no notional verb ,use be "am/is are/was/were.
My compliments for actually explaining the structures, so many others just do not highlight the differences!
I was confused between do and be and suddenly i found your video which made my day.Thanks to u teacher to solve my problem.
Alex you are the best teacher in the world! Perfect teacher! I wish you God blessing and long life!
+Larisa Jääskeläinen Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks for your video. It's very helpful.
I still have a question. The two sentences below they are pretty much similar, but the auxiliar verbs are different:
- Who is that man? What ______ (he / want)?
- Who is that man? Why ______ (he / look) at us?
Why does that happen?
Thank you
Perfect. I watched many videos in Spanish but I didn’t understand in my language. And I understood it with your explanation in English. Thank you so much.
That's such a nice compliment! Thank you, Gabriela. I'm glad it's clear. :)

This is a very important lesson for the beginer
Thank you the nice explanation! Somehow I did not know the rule, however I continued to use the wrong "do" for everything. It makes sence! Thank you!
No problem! I'm glad I could help.
