You hit the ball out the ball park. Lingering doubts resolved. Thanks!
Superb! Thanks!
Hello Sarah, my teacher!
I am glad to see you again.
I miss you and your lessons all the time.
Thank you for the today lesson. It seems quite complicated to me so had to listen several times and write down all your examples and explanations from the video.
The following is my answer to the last question.
She sees the doctor at 3 pm today.
I think verb see in this context is a stative verb that describes a statement of how thing is, it doesn't describe an action.
I hope my answer is correct.
See you very soon, Sarah.
Take care!
Hi Nam, thank you as always for your positive comments. I love to get them! With regards to your answer it is in fact, "She is seeing the doctor at 3pm today." This is an action and not a state... it is like the example I give in the lesson... it is like meeting... it is an active verb in this context. I hope that helps!

Oh my God. It's unexpected for me but I think that the sentence "She sees the doctor at 3 pm today" anyway has a meaning of itself, right?
Thank you Sarah for correcting my mistake. Now I more understand that stative verbs is not simple to apply.
See you very soon, my teacher.
Take care.
i think its s seeing the doctor at 3 pm today
Thanks it made me understand
You got it! Thanks for watching.
Extremely helpful! Thank you.
She's seeing the doctor at 3 PM is correct (action, but I would say future arrangement).
Absolutely, well done!
I'm meeting /( going ) to meet John after school, over a cup of coffee . The intent. Jeanie' s channel. I got it💡much love.
That's right, Maria! well done!
Oxford English Now thanks to you! I got my cousin out of trouble / flunking his English at " the ripe old age of 12. Auntie gave me my very first " pay check for that work . A 100 in our contemporary currency . FiM marks. The grade of my cousin's rose / soared from a dreaded 4 to 7 . 4= F n 7 is satisfactory .

Thank you! You too!
Awesome lesson... Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
My pleasure!
I always like it your teaching So I like it.
Thank you! 😃
Nice explanation. I have created sentences in which I have used "for" twice and adjacent to each other.For example, This is what I have been waiting for for a long time. Or This is what I have been asking for for so long.(I just want to know if these sentences are correct.)
Yes they look a bit strange but are correct.
Good lesson.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Hello teacher! How are you? I hope you are well :)
I have a question, may I use 'weigh' in continuous tenses? In Spanish, let's suppose it is your (my....sadly :) ) first day at the gym and the instructor ask you (me, again sadly): "what is your weight right now?" (in my country gyms hardly count with weighing machines); it is not uncommon that the answer is: "eeeh, you know, I am / will be weighing 200 lbs" (as an assumption or hypothesis). I beg for your pardon teacher if this question is a little...silly.
As usual, your lessons are very helpful for me and i am really very grateful for them.
Well Teacher, I wish you the best for this week and I send you a fist or elbow bump (you know, because the pandemic, I can't send you a big hug :) ).
Hi Guillermo, in my lesson I mention weigh. It can be both a stative and an active verb. If you say your weight, you are referring to a state, a permanent quality and therefore it cannot be used in a continuous form.
So you must say, "I weigh 200 lbs." Whereas if you are doing the action of weighing something you can. The man is weighing the parcel.
Thanks for the elbow bump. Right back at you! 😊
Hello madam, I hope you are doing well. I have a question, having studied English for years, the verb that baffles me the most is "provide". Sometimes I come across "It provides you with something",whereas sometimes I hear "It provides you something( without a with )".Please tell me which one should I use?
Hi Akshat, you can use both. I always find the Cambridge online dictionary is useful and you are right it has many uses, with and without "with." I recommend you check it out. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/provide
But always pleased to read your comments and questions! Thanks for your support!
Thank you. This is clear by Mr. Skype a.o.t They are concrète . Is seeing. The action of getting there by 3 o'clock
spot on!
Thank you so much mam
Most welcome 😊
8:38 She's seeing* the doctor at 03 p.m today
*In this sentence above, "seeing" has the same meaning of "meeting".
Correct. Well done!
Well done!
thanks
You're welcome!
Awesome
Thanks so much!
I like tea... Is tea object here or complement... Kindly help
Hi Zahra, tea is the object here. This is what I found in the Cambridge Dictionary. dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/complements
In clauses with linking verbs (be, seem, become), complements which follow the verb and which add information about the subject are called subject complements:
Sheila is a nurse. (adding information about Sheila)
Complements which add more information about an object are called object complements:
He makes me very angry. (adding information about me)
I hope that helps.
Queen
