I really give the due recognition for the lesson above that it sometimes confuses English as a Foreign Language Learners. so it very important.
Your lesson is easy understand because you speak slowly. Thank you so much. Its really help me recall my memory something I used to studied.
Such a competent teacher, thank you very much Rebecca.
Extremely useful. Thanks a lot. I was never clear about the correct usage, although I used to get them correct by chance. You are such a great teacher!!! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you teacher Rebecca, you’ve really helped me to improve in my speaking, reading, writing and listening skills.

Thank you So much
Madam, I would like you to make a lesson on this topic.
Why does it go this way, it starts with singular but ends with plural, like,
If anybody comes tell them that I'm not around.
If anybody gives you something say thank you to them, or say thank you to that person.
Please madam teach us on this topic it's so confusing.
Best teacher at all
Thank you very much ❤
teacher please talk about conditionals and reported speech indirect beacause you are good in explaining, thank you
Thanks, Rebecca. I use a lot of your videos for the ESL class I teach. They're very clear, and it's also nice to see all the info you've written on a white board. That saves me from doing it too! 😊
People who are non-native speakers are far better at English. It is quite shocking.
Thank you so much! This topic had been very hard for me and I made lots of mistakes. Your explanation is really helpful.
Hello 👋,Beautiful Lady ..How are you and the weather condition like ?
You're really good teacher. I like your way of teaching is really simple and easy to understand.
Thank you for this great lesson! I finally got it on the "... of the uncountable/countable nouns" :)
❤ I remember I used your illustration even though they seemed irrelevant to over qualified student's.
But they learnt never to judge a book by its cover, they are in the Hospitality Management fields, and are set for the Forbes, travel awards. Seeing you today reminded me of your perfectionist image.
Ps. they didn’t get to see you I took your example ‘s forward.
Thank you so much.
I love your classes!!!
Very important lesson. I still find myself making some of the mistakes highlighted here.. thanks for bringing this up..
Thanks alot, you are my first teacher ,i have learned more from your lessons.
AS A PROFESSOR IN TESOL/ESL ENGLISH I WOULD LIKE TO SAY YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. KEEP THE GOOD WORK!
Professor, "keep the good work" or "keep up the good work"?
A very good lesson! Thank you!
You are amazing. Hooked on your excellent content and teaching methods.
Thank you so much for gracing us with all your talent.
Rebecca, this lesson would have been the perfect lesson to discuss a grammatical error that is displayed at the check-out counter of many supermarkets where a sign is posted that reads "This aisle is for ten items or less." Here the difference between items that can be counted (such as bottles of water or containers of milk) and those that cannot be counted or cannot be easily counted (such as sugar, rice, and salt) dictates whether the words "fewer" or "less" should be used in these situations.
A great method of learning English with Rebecca ❤️
I really appreciate your outstanding teaching style, to be honest I thrilled when I watching your lessons.
Thanks Miss Rebecca! Useful classs as always!🎉❤

Thanks for your hard work!Dear teacher.You’re a Master of your profession! 👏👍
Thank you Madam. Very valuable lesson.
Great lesson Rebecca!
Thank you!😊
❤
Native English speakers almost always get this right, but many of us don't really know why that is. I did know it was singular/plural related but this was most illuminating. Thank you.
I beg to differ. Many. Including most Americans, dont get the non obvious ones wrong. No one. Everyone. None etc. most speakers use the plural. Our mother taught us the rule about 'one'.
Less and fewer is another one. Very few people use 'few', 'fewer' and then, of course, there is 'of' instead of 've' as in should've. Contraction of should have.
I am please with your teaching, very clear and easy to understand. Thank you
Graceful way to convey ideas! Your kudos Teacher Rebecca.
Thank you very much, teacher Rebecca for your clear explanation ✨❤️
All of the information is accurate.
All pieces of information are accurate.
Your teaching style is really awesome!
Ma'am I have been understood clearly thank you for making us learning easily the words
I first learnt English when I was a teenager, I found this language very fun to learn and it was very easy to master as well. After around forty days, I almost completely understood English grammar inside out. It sounds like joking, but I know English grammar better than my own native language 😅
😊
Pleas help how I can start learn english
@@abdullahalsada4975 From the sentence you wrote, you are already good in English grammar 👍 You need to read more novels to learn the usage part of the language. But a little correction, '.. how I can start learning English.'
No master my dear friend
Amazing classes. Thank´s from Brazil.
Our best teacher, please make a lesson on the differences between: It is vs This is. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Very concrete and useful. Thank you so much Rebecca
Thank you for supporting in English
My English is improving because of you
i am a filipino and had been taught that the word "some" per se refers to or means 'more than one' or 'several'. hence, 'are'. except in the case of 'someone' or 'somebody' which are definitely singular (because body and one are both singular.
The word "some" can be confusing too, sometimes.
I spill some milk on the table. In this case, "some" means "a little"
I speak to some people at the park. In this case, "some" means "several"
as a filipino (thus not a native english speaker), i do hope somebody would shed light on what it really should be.
Excellent lesson! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much, dear Teacher.❤
Thank you! It was simple for me and i don't really think about this "rule".
The topic choice is super helpful,thank you Ms.Rebecca. I have learned a great deal of proper grammar usage from your channel,and I truly appreciate your time and expertise.
Can you address the difference between the words principal and principle?
And each other and one another please.
Thank you in advance.
Hey there. I'm not a language teacher but English is my first language so I thought I'd take a crack at answering your questions. The difference between principle and principal is that the first is a guiding rule, or ethic, whereas the second is a title. For example, you could say something like 'I always check my blind spot when changing lanes, even when I know there's no traffic. It's the principle of the thing'.
A principal is usually used to refer to a school headmaster. However, you can also use it to mean primary, or most important. Such as 'the principal investors of this project are very concerned about its progress'.
As for 'each other' versus 'one another', there is very little difference. They mean the same thing. Typically, however, you'd say 'each other' in less formal settings, and when specifically talking about two things. You could say, for example, 'the gunfighters drew in a flash and shot each other dead'.
'One another' is slightly more formal (a bit more stuffy), and can be used when talking about more general topics. For example: 'Reciprocation is very important in society; the way we treat one another determines the type of community we build'.
Hope that helps.

Hilarious bro I just came here from him too 😂
New subscribers here and thanks for all that you’re doing, it’s very helpful.
Dear teacher, ı am a retired teacher of English from Turkey; What ı had been doing for the last 40 years had got nothing to do with teaching daily English , but translation techniques in scientific literature. One thing ı dare to correct in your exercise line: if the noun advice is uncountable, so you have to say MUCH OF HIS ADVİCE, instead of MOST of.... thanks dear lady..
❤❤❤❤
Police is uncountable but uses "are"
Great information. The word police is an exception in English
I've just seen it on UA-cam today and was surprised by: the police Are...
So police are uncountable?
Thank you for your lesson!!
Police is unaccountable 😂
Very helpful, thank you so much ma'am, may God bless you. ❤

This is a very good lesson. I always have to remind my SAT students about this kind of mistake.
Thank you so much teacher, the class is excelent❤
Nice, English being my 4th or 5th language, not sure if I should be saying this but I thought I'd mention since I hear a lot of people even the native speakers making these mistakes. People often say "There's a lot of things that I need to do, there's more things to be dealt with" where I believe it should be "There are a lot... and there are more things......" I hope I have explained it clearly. Thank you.
The best teacher i have ever seen before
