four years ago i wasn't able to understand 90 % of the teaching, but now i am capable of it, and i have watched this handy class and it's still useful as it was for me. thanks, i learned english, by you, youtube english teachers
I speak portuguese, and besides trying to improve my listening, i'm also working to get better grammatically! Your content is helping me a lot, thank you very much!
-I would rather wear an elegant suit than not go to the party. -I prefer staying at home rather than going to a crowded place. -My mother and i, went to the beach instead of staying at home with a boring environment :)
Yap, and I was wondering if you could made an explaining about "when we use 'will have and would have'" Those sounds quite weird for me and not common in English learner, but I am crazy about them though. Hopefully another occasion you would tell me about them. Thanks a lot!
Hi teacher, nice to meet you! I'm coming here right now. I'm brasilian and I started improving my English at the beginning of the pandemic, in the middle of 2020, watching too much Netflix and really too much videos on UA-cam, with teachers speaking English and Portuguese, but, finally it's time to shift to teachers that speaking only in English!
usually i dont comment after watching video but ur video is usefull. so i wanna give an appreciation by giving a comment. thanks for the video btw. i like it.
"I took the car rather than going by bus". "The musician played a sharp instead of a flat". Are these sentences correct? (in addition, is it possible to interchange the expressions here? because I didn't understand very well when they are interchangeable....). Thank you in advance for your support :)
1. Correct. 2. Correct. (But what are a "sharp" and a "flat"?) In the first one you could also say "instead of", but not "rather than" really in the second. Let's just say that "rather than" expresses a preference while "instead of" only expresses a fact. :-)
Hi! In this case, you can't. You can't because "boiling" is an extreme adjective (non-gradable) and you would have to use "absolutely" or "completely". Also, it doesn't sound idiomatic to say "a boiling day", you would say "a hot day" or simply: "It's (absolutely) boiling." Hope to have been of help! :-)
I get it teacher but I've come across with this sentence in a novel: "I feel like I've been adding to that weight all these years, rather than trying to take some of the weight off his shoulders." Would not be 'instead of' in this case?
Hi there can you tell me which sentence is the correct one. People start making videos rather than helping others. People start making videos instead of helping others . Thanks.
Thank you for your reply 😊, these is actually encouraging. So it is a good chance to ask, I would rather play football than basketball. I prefer to play football rather than basketball. I prefer to play football rather than play basketball. I prefer to play football rather than playing basketball. Are they all correct? Particularly the last one? Thank you in advance😊
Let's see... - I would rather play football than basketball. ✅ - I prefer to play football rather than basketball. ✅ - I prefer to play football rather than play basketball. ✅(but I prefer not to include the verb) - I prefer to play football rather than playing basketball. ❌ (You could say "I prefer playing football rather than playing basketball"). Hope this helps you! 😀
Hi and thanks for your comment! Your sentence is correct. However, if you want to improve it, I would say the following: "I sat down to do my assignment. However, instead of that, I watched a movie." or "I sat down to do my assignment but I ended up watching a movie, instead." I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you have any more questions. :-)
I am rather experienced in english... I would rather stay in city than village .... I would rather going my my office than home.. Rather=quite Rather=prefer Rather=instead of
@@KSEAcademy hello prof, If I say "I prefer to study rather than going to sleep" and in the same sentence "I prefer to study instead going to sleep. Which one is correct"?
I have another question. What about If I use rather and instead together. Example: I rather use my pencil instead of using yours. What is wrong with this sentence?

sir please clarify the word "grown" as it uses in multiple case and context. and thanks for this video..
Hi!
"Grown" is the past participle of "grow", which means "to become older and more mature". 😊
Thanks for removing the ambiguity about the correct usage of the expressions in a very simple and understandable way
Oh! Thank you for such great feedback! 😊
Hello! Please, could you tell if it is correct: It's a rather boiling day.
Thank you in advanced!
Hi! In this case, you can't. You can't because "boiling" is an extreme adjective (non-gradable) and you would have to use "absolutely" or "completely". Also, it doesn't sound idiomatic to say "a boiling day", you would say "a hot day" or simply: "It's (absolutely) boiling." Hope to have been of help! :-)

Are they all correct? Particularly the last one?
Thank you in advance😊

Yes, you can say that, but don't need to combine them. You could say "I'd rather have pizza" or "I'll have pizza instead of burger". 😉
Keep Smiling English Thanks you very much.
I prefer eating out rather than eating at home.
I ate out instead of eating at home.
I sat down to do my assignment.instead of that,i watched a movie.

Hi and thanks for your comment!
Your sentence is correct. However, if you want to improve it, I would say the following: "I sat down to do my assignment. However, instead of that, I watched a movie." or "I sat down to do my assignment but I ended up watching a movie, instead."
I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you have any more questions. :-)
+Keep Smiling English thanks sir...your video is really helpful :)
You're welcome and thank you very much for your comment and feedback! :-)
I am rather experienced in english... I would rather stay in city than village .... I would rather going my my office than home..
Rather=quite
Rather=prefer
Rather=instead of
Yep. That’s right, but... “I would rather GO TO my office...” 🙂
@@KSEAcademy hello prof, If I say "I prefer to study rather than going to sleep" and in the same sentence "I prefer to study instead going to sleep. Which one is correct"?
I have another question. What about If I use rather and instead together. Example: I rather use my pencil instead of using yours. What is wrong with this sentence?
i would rather study abroad than study here
Exactly. Well done! :-)
