Great lesson! I like the way you teach. Is it also correct to say: I baked the cake BY myself? (minute 8:29). Is BY optional in this case?
Hi, if you say by myself it implies you were alone whereas if you say just myself it means you made it and you didn’t buy it or no one else made it. A subtle difference.
@@oxfordenglishnow Thank you for your valuable explanation. There is indeed a subtle difference.
Thanks for the video! Extremely useful for my preparation for FCE ❤️. Can you please send me the link for your website?🙏
Hi Anya, My pleasure! Unfortunately I don't have a website at the moment. However, I am on Facebook here: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/oxfordenglishnow
Hope that helps!
I'll be back. This is good news. Many thanks . I'd better just trust in what I have learnt long ago. The advanced phrasal expressions were useful . TY
😊
10q for all I got a good mark on my test after I saw this lesson
Glad to hear it!
I have recently discovered your channel and I have to say it is fantastic, the explanations are so clear I have watched a lot of your videos in these lockdown days, some of them several times. Thanks a lot.
Thanks and welcome
I wished I was like you in pronouncing the English language
Greetings from Morocco🇲🇦❤️🇲🇦❤️
Hi Morocco! welcome to my channel!
@@oxfordenglishnow thank you
min. 8.23, is the expression "I baked the cake myself" also correct if I say "I baked the cake by myself"? Does it change the meaning? Are they both correct? Maybe the second emphasizes that it was made alone, without any help, while the first expression might have included some help?
Hi Abbis, the first expression means you made the cake, and the second emphasises that no one was with you when you made the cake. Hope that helps!
@@oxfordenglishnow thank you, I got it now😉
Many thanks dear teacher)

You're welcome 😊

Madam, I have some doubtful idioms. Would you like to clear them? Please try to let me know by replying. I hope you will try to reply as soon as possible. I will be looking forward to your reply.
Hi Kewat, How can I help?
Excellent tutorial, ma'am
My pleasure!
Madam,please i have a doubt in the following sentence.suddely the door opened slowly.Could we please use it as..The door slowly opened by itself.If not why ?
Hi Jana, I think it is better to say, Suddenly the door opened slowly and not say by itself. We don't know how it opened.
Hello teacher . Hope you're doing well 🙏
I've got a question.
What if I say : 👇
I will clean the room by myself .
I will clean the room myself .
I cooked the whole meal by myself.
I myself cooked the whole meal .
I cooked the whole meal myself .
Are there any differences at all ?
Or they are the same ?
Please explain it to me .🙏
Oh sorry , I've got another question : 👇
What about "imperative sentences" ?
Should I say :
Do your homework by yourself .
OR
Do your homework yourself .
And which one is correct ? Any differences ?
Please reply. May you have a good day 🙏👋
Thank you so much .
Hi hesam, to answer your question, if you say "by myself," you are emphasising that you were alone. Whereas if you say: "I will clean the room myself." It means that it will be just you that completes the task. This has also the same meaning in imperative questions.

Is it fine if I said I bought myself a shirt for someone?
Because "myself" refers to I or the indirect object that means I receive the action of the verb "bought" by the direct object. Is that mean I bought a shirt myself, not anyone esle?
But I want to emphasize how I bought it myself for a person...like I bought the shirt and gave it to a person.
Hi, you could say I bought a shirt for someone. You don't need the myself because you have already stated that you did the buying.
@@oxfordenglishnowThanks appreciated. What if I have never bought a shirt for anyone before. Should I say I bought a shirt for a person?
Madam, could you please tell me if in English "and that too " and "if at all" structures exist.
Because Indian media often uses it.
Hi Akshat, my first reaction is yes, but I suppose it would depend on the context.
Did i just get this for my lesson in school
You have a great teacher, no doubt!
Thank you teacher to explain us I interesting your video 😍😍
Thank you! 😃
Wait you are her teacher if yes she’s lucky
Hello teacher !
Can you add small tasks at the end of the videos please ? to see if we did understand well .
Hi wassila, great suggestion. I do this from time to time but maybe I should make it after every class. Thanks for the comment! 🙏
Good
Good
Thanks
Ma'am Can you please explain me?? ...I have given some feedback by my manager Or I have been given some feedback by my manager.. Which one is right ? Is the later present perfect or present perfect continuous....what is the use of been in second one.
Hi Anjali, the second one is correct: I have been given some feedback by my manager. This is the passive. You can see my videos on the passive here: ua-cam.com/video/RTpk1S9s8pc/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/yMmlsOW3KOA/v-deo.html
Hope they help!
Oh it's information of British council 👌💜
Hi, yes the British Council is a wonderful website. I research a lot of places and they are one along with Oxford and Cambridge University Press.
Mam could you please tell me which one is correct- I bought myself a new dress or I bought a new dress for myself?
Hi Sayani, Both are correct but I think the first one sounds a bit better. 🙏
@@oxfordenglishnow thank you so much mam for replying me.
Ty for helping me🙄🙄
My pleasure!

Welcome to my channel!
Mam,
Fill in the blanks by choosing the correct verb from the brackets:
(1) My father____( tells/told) me to obey my teachers.
(2) I ____(catch/caught) a fish in the morning.
Please solve and explain mam...
My answers are tells and caught respectively. But I am not sure. Please help me
Hi Sourav, Ok in the first sentence, I think you could use either tense, the present for a habit, your dad tells you regularly. Whereas if you use the past tense, it refers to a completed action in the past. He is no longer telling you to obey your teachers. For the second sentence, again you could use both. The present tense describes a habit or routine, you catch a fish every morning. Whereas, I caught refers to a past completed action. Hope that helps!
@@oxfordenglishnow very very thanks mam
Could you please explain these structures to me?
which ones?
@@oxfordenglishnow "if at all "
0:56 no no no
Yourself is plural form the singular is THYSELF
Hi Hyunjin, thyself is very rarely used nowadays and I would disagree, yourself is singular and yourselves is plural. I hope that helps!
Mam,
Fill in the blanks with the correct forms of the verbs given in the brackets:-
It is morning. My father _____(read) the newspaper. He ____(drink) tea, also. I ____(study). I ____(go) to school at 10 o'clock. My mother____ (start) to cook.
Please solve and explain mam.
I think all these verbs will be in present indefinite tense.
Please help me
Hi Sourav, If you are talking about the present moment it would be: It is morning. My father is reading the newspaper. He is also drinking tea. I am studying. I am going to school at 10 o'clock. My mother has started to cook. For things happening in the present moment we use the present continuous. For the future that is planned/organised we use the present continuous too. Hope that helps! 🙏
@@oxfordenglishnow Mam, It is morning. My father reads the newspaper. He drinks tea, also. I study. I go to school at 10 o'clock.My mother starts to cook.---May I use present indefinite tense? Please answer me
Nice vdo
Thanks Bijay!
Mam, what is the difference between food and meal?
Hi Sourav, food is what living things eat and a meal is the food taken at one time. Hope that helps! 🙏
@@oxfordenglishnow thanks a lot! Though I have no word to thank you...
What about oneself?????
Sorry, did I forget that one?
3:03 but not in French tho
welcome to my channel!

Welcome to my channel!
Mam, The Sikhs fought bravely. & The Sikh fought bravely. - - Which is correct?
Similarly, The Indians fought bravely. & The Indian fought bravely. - - which sentence is correct and why? Please explain
Hi Sourav, how are you? For your sentences:
The Sikhs fought bravely. & The Sikh fought bravely. Both are correct. The first one is more than one Sikhs and the second is just one. This is the same for the second set of sentences. Hope that helps!
@@oxfordenglishnow I am well, mam.

Madam please reply
This book is too boring to read.
This book is too boring to be read.
Which one is correct?
Both 😊
Aren't you overjoyed America has totally ruined these?! They have NO idea when to use them.
American - "I went there myself", "I myself like to go out at the weekend", "myself and John went out"
It's infuriating.
Hi Journey Into Coco, American is often very different to British English.😉
What about intensive pronouns ? i'm confused 😭😭
Hi avocado vanilla, An intensive pronoun is almost identical to a reflexive pronoun, but their functions differ. Intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the subject or antecedent of the sentence. You’ll usually find the intensive pronoun right after the noun or pronoun it’s modifying, but not necessarily. You can tell the difference between a reflexive pronoun and an intensive pronoun easily: intensive pronouns aren’t essential to a sentence’s basic meaning, whereas reflexive pronouns are. I hope that helps!
