he didn't do his homework

Kid’s Hilarious Explanation of Why He Didn’t Do His Homework Goes Viral

He's going to make a great lawyer some day.

When one student was asked to explain why he didn’t do his homework, he wrote a note to his teacher defending his actions. The hilarious letter, penned by 14-year-old Eddie Cortez, is now going viral on Twitter.

“So my cousin and his wife got an email from their sons teacher,” user @_lyddz tweeted on February 13, along with a picture of the note. “He didn’t do his hw so she asked him to write a paper saying why he didn’t do his hw and this is what she got…”

The letter, which has already been retweeted almost 60,000 times, explains that Eddie chose not to do his homework over the weekend because “it’s a stress-free time to go out with friends, watch TV, and play games.” He adds that homework also “makes me very mad and unhappy.”

Even more than that, he’s worried about his stress levels, writing, “I want to be happy plus my mom has been finding grey hairs, not trying to stress out.”

Eddie goes on to make a valid point that homework isn’t a thing in the real world. “Jobs don’t give you homework unless [you’re] a boss or teacher,” he says. “We should not have to do it in school because it’s not useful.”

But perhaps the best part is the bold conclusion to Eddie’s note. “Case closed,” he states. “The court rule in favor of Edward Immanuel Cortez in the case of student v. homework.”

And mom Roxand says she isn’t surprised by her son’s letter. “Eddie is always full of humour, and he doesn’t like homework,” she told HuffPost UK .

This kid’s letter arguing why he didn’t do his homework is winning the Internet

A little boy in California decided to fight his own case and put forward arguments telling his teacher why there should be no homework. Now his answers are going viral, winning hearts online.

There has been a lot of debate on whether students should be given homework. While some parents and teachers argue that it is for their all-round development, others believe it causes too much burden on little ones who should get more time to play and enjoy themselves. Well, shouldn’t we ask students what they think?

In the lengthy letter, Little Edward Emmanuel Cortez (Eddie) explained that he didn’t like doing school work during the weekend as weekends are meant to be stress-free. He further argued that the homework makes him “mad and unhappy”.

Using real examples, he added, “The real world jobs don’t give you homework unless you’re a boss or teacher.” Deeming homework “not useful”, he declared the “case closed”!

So my cousin and his wife got an email from their sons teacher. He didn’t do his hw so she asked him to write a paper saying why he didn’t do his hw and this is what she got…😂🤦🏼‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/2eDh2IgB9X — Lydia (@_Lyddz) February 14, 2019

Little Eddie’s letter, written without any inhibitions, has garnered a lot of love and appreciation online.

Schoolboy's Letter To Teacher Explaining Why He Didn't Do His Homework Goes Viral

The young boy gave an a* answer to why he didn't hand in an assignment..

Rachel Andrews

A young boy's hilarious letter to his teacher explaining why he didn't complete his homework over the weekend has gone viral.

Edward Cortez, 14, from California, was asked by his school teacher to pen a few words on why he failed to hand in an assignment.

And choosing an honest approach to the task at hand, Edward explained how his weekends are supposed to be purely downtime and he wants only wants to do things that make him happy - something we can probably all relate to on a Sunday evening.

"I didn't do my homework because I don't want to do school work over the weekend because it's a stress-free time to go out with friends, watch TV and play games," penned the schoolboy.

He continued: "I don't do it also because it makes me very mad and unhappy. I do what makes me happy because I want to be happy plus my mom has been finding gray hairs, not trying to stress out dog [sic].

"Homework is not a real thing in the real world so we should not have to do it in school because it's not useful."

Well, he's got a point.

Injecting more sass into his letter, Edward concluded: "Case closed, the court rule in favor of Edward Immanuel Cortez in the case of student vs homework."

The note scribbled on lined paper with pencil was shared on social media by a family member.

Sharing a picture of the letter, they tweeted: "So my cousin and his wife got an email from their sons teacher. He didn't do his hw so she asked him to write a paper saying why he didn't do his hw and this is what she got..."

Twitter users were quick to react to the letter, declaring that Edward should be a lawyer when he's older.

"He about to grow up and be a lawyer," declared one person.

While somebody else added: "That paper is better than whatever homework assignment he didn't do."

We wonder if his teacher saw the funny side...

Most children hate doing homework. If you ask them why, kids can come up some hilarious explanations and interesting excuses in the hope of giving their homework a miss. However, one child’s delightful note explaining why he didn’t do his homework has many on the Internet thoroughly impressed and entertained.

“So my cousin and his wife got an email from their sons teacher.

The note, since being posted, has collected over 3.5 lakh ‘likes’ and more than 99,000 retweets – and still counting.

From explaining how the weekend is “stress free time” meant to spend with family and friends to how doing homework makes him feel unhappy, here’s the kid’s explanation: 

“I was not surprised,” Edward Cortez’s mother Roxand told Huffington Post UK . “Eddie is always full of humour, and he doesn’t like homework.”

On Twitter, people couldn’t help but be impressed with Edward.

“That kid is gonna do big things in life,” says one Twitter user. “That paper is better than whatever homework assignment he didn’t do,” says another. “He about to grow up and be a lawyer,” says a third.

Here’s how others on Twitter reacted to the note:

This Boy's Epic Essay About Not Doing His Homework Might Just Earn Him a Free Pass For Life

Updated on 3/4/2019 at 3:30 PM

A little boy named Edward Immaunel Cortez is taking a stand against homework, once and for all . In a now-viral "essay" that's making its way around the Twittersphere, he declared that he wasn't doing homework because it's not a source of happiness for him . And in the spirit of Marie Kondo, we kind of have to agree with him. His father's cousin Lydia originally tweeted out the letter on Feb. 14, and it's brilliant.

"So my cousin and his wife got an email from their [son's] teacher," she captioned her tweet. "He didn't do his homework so she asked him to write a paper saying why he didn't do his homework and this is what she got . . ."

"I didn't do my homework because I don't want to do school work over the weekend because it's a stress-free time to go out with friends, watch TV, and play games," he wrote in the essay. "I don't do it also because it makes me very mad and unhappy and I want to do what makes me happy. I do what makes me happy because I want to be happy. Plus, my mom has been trying to find grey hairs not trying to stress out, dog. The real world jobs don't give you homework unless you're a boss or a teacher. Homework is not a real thing in the real world so we should not have to do it in school because it's not useful. Case closed. The court rules in favor of Edward Immaunel Cortez in the case of student v. homework."

My bright teen is skipping homework and failing classes, and I don’t know what to do

Q: My 15-year-old son, a high school sophomore, has stopped doing his homework when he doesn't like the subject or the teacher, or when he thinks it's stupid, and he's now failing two classes. He has also lied to me about it; he got away with the lies until the school sent notices, so he has all but destroyed my trust in him. This has been going on since grammar school, but it's getting worse as he gets older. I've tried everything I can think of: therapy, taking away the Xbox, using the Xbox or other things as rewards he can earn, letting him handle it on his own, partial involvement, hovering, crying and screaming — and I feel awful about those last two. I'm trying to take your advice to be careful not to damage our relationship over things, but I don't know what else to do. Failing major subjects in high school seems like a problem. Am I wrong to be so concerned? He won't work with a tutor anymore, either. He's a smart kid, so it's not a lack of ability. Please help.

A: I am going to be honest with you: I relate to your son. I started to check out of school around sixth grade and stayed checked out well through high school. I was bright but had stopped caring about most of my classes, and nothing changed my mind. Paid for good grades? Nope. Punishments? Nah. Rewards? Didn’t care. Threats? Didn’t matter. I was only affected by a handful of people, and otherwise, I couldn’t be reached. And this wasn’t even in a pandemic; this was just the ’90s.

Send questions about parenting to [email protected]

As I see it, your son is a puzzle (as we all are), and we have a couple of the puzzle pieces in front of us. He is bright (a word that doesn’t carry much meaning), he doesn’t do his homework when he is disinterested in the subject and/or teacher, he lies about it, this behavior has been happening since grammar school, every manner of behavior modification has been attempted (and failed), you have tried therapy, and he refuses a tutor. There are many other things I don’t know about your son, including his health, any transitions or traumas for him or the family, possible learning disabilities or differences (yes, you can be bright and have a whole host of learning issues that prohibit learning in a “typical” way) and family structure. I could go on and on!

The big question is why. Why did your son begin to disconnect from school?

Although I can do little to help you in this note, I do want to keep guiding you to the “why” instead of the “what.” Of course we don’t want your son failing courses — no one wants that for their children — but our parenting goal is not getting him to pass classes. It is to understand him, so he can understand and help himself. At 15, he is well on his way to becoming a young man, and whatever is causing his disconnect from school is what needs your attention.

As you discover the “why,” you need to understand why rewards and punishments don’t seem to work with some children, especially when it comes to schoolwork. There is a time and place for typical behavioral techniques. Take something away that children love, they stop the unwanted behavior. Give them something they love, they repeat wanted behavior. Fine. But this only really works when children already care about school, their teachers and, yes, maybe the work. Caring about your integrity, what you produce and how your teacher feels about you is the primary driver of working hard, not rewards or punishments. If you have a teen who is accustomed to not caring about what his teachers or you think, then he is immune to your punishments and rewards. “Not caring” runs both ways; you don’t feel the “bad stuff,” and you also don’t feel the “good stuff.” As a person who didn’t care about a lot of things for a long time, I can say that it is a horrible way to live. I was wretched to parent and educate.

Let’s pause all the behavior-modification shenanigans. Let’s pause the fear of all this failing and what it means for his future. Let’s pause shoving him into therapy or tutoring. Let’s. Just. Stop. Repeat after me: “My son is not a project. He is a fully human young man, and he needs my support and love.” Repeat this over and over and over, then start getting curious. Invite him to eat with you, go on a hike with you, learn a video game with you, anything, and try to get to know him without an agenda. Every single class he is failing can be made up. Every single thing he hasn’t learned can eventually be learned, and I want you to tell him that. I also want you to highlight and discuss what he does well. He is passing classes! He is (maybe) doing chores! These failed classes are not the sum of his person, so stop treating them as if they are.

10 ways to take the struggle out of homework

I also want you to tell him that it’s typical to not want to do well for people to whom we don’t feel connected. My spidey sense is that something (or things) happened in grammar school that caused him to armor up, and the armor has grown thicker. And of course he’s lying to you. When people feel ashamed of their actions (not doing homework and failing), they lie, then they get in trouble for the lie (adding on more shame), which adds to more lying. Let’s just assume he isn’t going to do the homework for some of these classes. We can take out the extra shame layer.

I can hear you having a panic attack, and I know I have not told you what to do to fix this situation, but it is not going to get fixed. Your son is not broken; he just needs support. Please call your pediatrician for a good work-up, and peek around at possible learning issues. (Giftedness is on the table, too.) Please personally reach out to a teacher whom your son loves and respects, and ask for support. What got me through high school? A choir teacher, an AP English teacher, my Mom Mom, my aunt, and the fact that my parents didn’t give up and send me out of the house. That’s it. Find someone your son cares about, and have them start talking, hanging out, checking in, etc. As a former teacher, I did this and was never burdened by it; it is called community, and we all need it.

The most encouraging part about your note is that you know this is a relationship-first issue. Keep that as your North Star, and as your son begins to thaw, you can add other strategies, such as rewards and punishments. Check out Cara Natterson’s “ Decoding Boys ” and think about seeing your own parent coach or therapist. You are doing hard parenting work, and you need a safe place for your fears and big emotions.

“My Child Refuses to Do Homework” — How to Stop the Nightly Struggle Over Schoolwork

By janet lehman, msw.

For many parents, getting their kids to do their homework is a nightly struggle. Some kids refuse to do their homework. Others claim that they don’t have homework, but then the report card comes out, and you realize that their work was not being done.

So why is homework time so difficult? In my opinion, one of the major reasons is that it’s hard for kids to focus at home. Look at it this way: when your child is in school, they’re in a classroom where there aren’t a lot of distractions. The learning is structured and organized, and all the students are focusing on the same thing.

But when your child comes home, their brain clicks over to “free time” mode. In their mind, home is a place to relax, have a snack, listen to music, and play video games. Kids simply don’t view the home as the place to do schoolwork.

If the homework struggles you experience are part of a larger pattern of acting out behavior, then the child is resisting to get power over you. They intend to do what they want to do when they want to do it, and homework just becomes another battlefield. And, as on any other battlefield, parents can use tactics that succeed or tactics that fail.

Regardless of why your child won’t do their homework, know that fighting over it is a losing proposition for both of you. You will end up frustrated, angry, and exhausted, and your child will have found yet another way to push your buttons. And, even worse, they will wind up hating school and hating learning.

A major part of getting your child to do their homework lies in establishing a system so that your child comes to see that homework is just a regular part of home life. Once they accept that, you’ve already won half the battle. Accordingly, my first few tips are around setting up this system. If you get the system right, things tend to fall into place.

Put this system in place with your child at a time when things are calm and going well rather than during the heat of an argument. Tell your child that you’re going to try something different starting next week with homework that will make it go better for everyone. Then explain the system.

You’ll find that this system will make your life easier as a parent, will make you more effective as a parent, and will help your child to get the work done. And when your child gets their work done, they’re more likely to succeed, and nothing drives motivation more than success.

Structure the Evening for Homework

When your kids come home, there should be a structure and a schedule set up each night. I recommend that you write this up and post it on the refrigerator or in some central location in the house. Kids need to know that there is a time to eat, a time to do homework, and also that there is free time. And remember, free time starts after homework is done.

Homework time should be a quiet time in your whole house. Siblings shouldn’t be in the next room watching TV or playing video games. The whole idea is to eliminate distractions. The message to your child is, “You’re not going to do anything anyway, so you might as well do your homework.”

Even if your child doesn’t have homework some nights, homework time should still mean no phone and no electronics. Instead, your child can read a book or a magazine in their room or work on longer-term assignments. Consistently adhering to the homework time structure is important to instill the homework habit.

Start the Evening Homework Habit When Your Kids are Young

If your children are younger and they don’t get homework yet, set aside quiet time each evening where your child can read or do some type of learning. Doing so will help children understand that evening quiet and study time is a part of everyday home life, just like chores. This habit will pay off when the real homework begins.

Use a Public Place for Homework

For a lot of kids, sending them to their rooms to do their homework is a mistake. Many children need your presence to stay focused and disciplined. And they need to be away from the stuff in their rooms that can distract them.

You know your child best. If you think they’re not being productive in their room, then insist they work at the kitchen table or in some other room where you can monitor them and where there will be fewer distractions.

If they do homework in their room, the door to the room should be open, and you should check in from time to time. No text messaging, no fooling around. Take the phone and laptop away and eliminate electronics from the room during study time. In short, you want to get rid of all the temptations and distractions.

Give Breaks During Homework Time

Many kids get tired halfway through homework time, and that’s when they start acting up. If your child is doing an hour of homework, have them take a 5-minute break every half-hour so that they can get up, have a snack, and stretch their legs. But don’t allow electronics during the break—electronics are just too distracting.

Monitor the break and ensure that your child gets back to work promptly.

Be sure to encourage your child when they’re discouraged. It’s okay to say things like:

“I know it’s a drag, but think of this—when you get your work done, the rest of the night is yours.”

“Look, if you do your work all week, you’ll have the whole weekend to do what you want.”

Show your child empathy—how many of us truly enjoyed homework every night? It’s work, pure and simple. But your child will be encouraged when they begin to have success with their work.

Help Your Child Get Started With Their Homework

Some kids have a hard time getting assignments started. They may be overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Or the work may seem too difficult.

There’s a concept I explain in The Total Transformation® child behavior program called hurdle help . If you have a child who has a hard time getting started, spend the first five minutes with them to get them over the first couple of hurdles. Perhaps help them with the first math problem or make sure they understand the assignment.

For many kids who are slow starters, hurdle help is very effective. This doesn’t mean you are doing their homework for them—this is simply extra help designed to get them going on their own.

Help Your Child Manage Long-Term Assignments

If your child has a big, long-term project, then you want to work with them to estimate how much time it’s going to take. Then your child has to work within that time frame. So if your child has a science project, help them manage and structure their time. For instance, if the project is due in 30 days, ask them:

“How much time are you going to spend on it each night?”

They might say, “15 minutes a night,” and you hold them to that.

Don’t assume that your child knows how to manage their time effectively. As adults, we sometimes take for granted the habits we have spent a lifetime developing and forget that our kids are not there yet.

Make Sunday Night a School Night

The way that I structure the weekend is that Sunday night is a school night, not Friday. So if your child has homework for the weekend, and as long as they’re done all their work for the past week, they get Friday and Saturday night off and can do their homework on Sunday night.

If there’s a project or something big to do over the weekend, then work with your child to budget their time. They may have to put some time in on Saturday or Sunday during the day. But other than that, your child should have the weekend off too, just like adults do.

The Weekend Doesn’t Begin Until Overdue Work Is Done

If your child has overdue homework, their weekend shouldn’t begin until those assignments are done. In other words, Friday night is a homework night if their week’s work is not complete.

Believe me, this is a highly effective consequence for kids because it creates a great incentive to get their work done. Indeed, each minute they’re doing homework is a minute they could be hanging out with friends or playing video games.

If you can hold to this rule once and deal with the complaining, then next week the homework will be done.

By the way, if they say they can’t do their homework because they didn’t bring their school books home, they should be grounded for the weekend. You can say:

“I don’t want to hear that you can’t do it because you don’t have your books. You’d better call around and find a friend who you can borrow them from. Otherwise, you’ll be staying in this weekend.”

Make Homework a Higher Priority Than Activities

Kids are involved in a lot of after school activities these days. I understand that. But my priority has always been “homework comes first.”

In my opinion, if the homework isn’t done on Monday, then your child shouldn’t go to football on Tuesday. It’s fine if he misses a practice or two. You can say:

“Here’s the deal. We’re not going to football today. You need to get your work done first.”

If your child says, “Well, if I miss a practice, I’m going to get thrown off the team,” You can say:

“Well, then make sure your work is complete. Otherwise, you’re not going to practice. That’s all there is to it.”

I personally don’t put football, soccer, or any other extracurricular activities above homework and home responsibilities. I don’t believe parents should be going from soccer to karate to basketball with their kids while homework and school responsibilities are being neglected.

Use Rewards for Schoolwork, Not Bribes

Most kids get personal satisfaction out of getting good grades and completing their work, and that’s what we’re aiming for. Nevertheless, it’s important to reinforce positive behavior, and that may mean offering an incentive for getting good grades. For instance, my son knew that he would get a certain reward for his performance if he got all B’s or above. The reward was an incentive to do well.

One of the shortcuts we take as parents is to bribe our kids rather than rewarding them for performance. It can be a subtle difference. A reward is something that is given after an achievement. A bribe is something you give your child after negotiating with them over something that is already a responsibility.

If you bribe your child to do their homework or to do anything else that is an expected responsibility, then your child will come to expect something extra just for behaving appropriately. Bribes undermine your parental authority as kids learn that they can get things from you by threatening bad behavior. Bribes put your child in charge of you.

The appropriate parental response to not meeting a responsibility is a consequence, not a bribe. A bribe says, “If you do your homework, I will extend your curfew by an hour.” In contrast, a consequence says, “If you don’t do your homework, you’re grounded until it’s finished.” Never bribe your kids to do what they’re expected to do.

Use Effective Consequences

When giving consequences, be sure they’re effective consequences. What makes an effective consequence? An effective consequence motivates your child to good behavior. They put you back in control and teach your child how to problem-solve, giving your child the skills needed to be successful.

An effective consequence looks like this:

“If you fall below a B average, then you can no longer study in your room and must study at the kitchen table until you get your average back to a B.”

For the child who prefers to study in their room, this is an effective consequence.

Another effective consequence would be the following:

“If you choose not to study during the scheduled time, you will lose your electronics for the night. Tomorrow, you’ll get another chance to use them.”

And the next day, your child gets to try again to earn the privilege of electronics. Short-term consequences like this are very effective. Just don’t take away this privilege for more than a day as your child will have no incentive to do better the next time.

For more on consequences, read the article on how to give effective consequences to your child .

Be Prepared to Let Your Child Fail

Failure should be an option, and sometimes you just have to let your child fail . Parents often do their kids a disservice when they shield them from the consequences of their actions. If your child chooses not to study enough and they get a failing grade, that’s the natural consequence for their behavior. And they should experience the discomfort that results from their behavior.

Let me be clear. If you interfere and try to get your child’s teacher to change their grade, your child will learn the wrong lesson. Your child will learn that if they screw up enough, Mom and Dad will take care of them. And they don’t learn their math or science or whatever it is they failed.

To be sure, failing is a hard lesson, but it’s the right lesson when your child fails. And it’s not the end of the world. In fact, for many kids, it’s what turns them around.

Don’t Fight with Your Child Over Homework

Don’t get sucked into arguments with your child about homework. Make it very clear that if they don’t do their homework, then the next part of their night does not begin. Keep discussions simple. Say to your child:

“Right now is homework time. The sooner you get it done, the sooner you can have free time.”

Say this in a supportive way with a smile on your face. Again, it’s important not to get sucked into fights with your child. Remember, you don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to. If your child refuses to do his or her work, then calmly give the consequence that you established for not doing homework.

Also, trying to convince your child that grades are important is a losing battle. You can’t make your child take school as seriously as you do. The truth is, they don’t typically think that way. To get your child to do homework, focus on their behavior, not their motivation. Rather than giving a lecture, just maintain the system that enables them to get their work done. Often, the motivation comes after the child has had a taste of success, and this system sets them up for that success.

Stay Calm When Helping Your Child With Their Homework

It’s important to be calm when helping your child with their homework. Don’t argue about the right answer for the math problem or the right way to do the geography quiz. If you get frustrated and start yelling and screaming at your child, this sets a negative tone and won’t help them get the work done. It’s better to walk away than it is to engage in an argument, even when you’re just trying to be helpful.

For couples, it may be that one of you is more patient and acceptable to your child. Let that person take on the homework monitoring responsibilities. And don’t take it personally if it isn’t you.

Remember, if you can’t stay calm when helping your child, or if you find that your help is making the situation worse, then it’s better not to help at all. Find someone else or talk to the teacher about how your child can get the help they need. And try not to blame your child for the frustration that you feel.

It’s Your Child’s Homework, Not Yours

Remember that your child is doing the homework as a school assignment. The teacher will ultimately be the judge of how good or bad, correct or incorrect the work is. You’re not responsible for the work itself; your job is to guide your child. You can always make suggestions, but ultimately it’s your child’s job to do their assignments. And it’s the teacher’s job to grade them.

Know the Teachers and the Assignments

Build good relationships with your child’s teachers. Meet with the teachers at the beginning of the school year and stay in touch as the year progresses. Your relationships with your child’s teachers will pay off if your child begins to have problems.

And if your child does have problems, then communicate with their teachers weekly. If they’re not handing in their work on time, ask the teachers to send you any assignments that they didn’t get done each week. Many schools have assignments available online, which is a big help for parents. Just don’t rely on your child to give you accurate information. Find out for yourself.

The bottom line is that you want to hold your child accountable for doing their work, and you can only do that if you know what the work is. If you keep yourself informed, then you won’t be surprised when report cards come out.

Work with your child on a system to keep track of assignments. I recommend an old-fashioned paper calendar simply because we already have too many distracting electronics in our lives—experiment and use what works best for your child.

Finally, try to see your child’s teachers as your allies. In my experience, most teachers are dedicated and caring, but I realize that this isn’t always the case. So, for your child’s sake, do your best to find a way to work with their teachers.

If You Think Your Child Might Have a Learning Disability

Kids are expected to do some difficult work, and your child may struggle. If your child is having an especially hard time, talk with their teacher. Ask if it’s typical for your child to be struggling in this area.

In some cases, the teacher may recommend testing to see if your child has a learning disability. While this can be hard to hear as a parent, it’s important to find out so that you can make the necessary adjustments.

If it turns out that your child does have a learning disability, then you want to get an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) set up with the school.

Most kids don’t enjoy homework, and for some, it will always be a struggle. Our children all have different strengths and abilities, and while some may never be excellent students, they might be great workers, talented artists, or thoughtful builders.

I have to admit that dealing with my son’s homework was one of my least favorite experiences as a parent. It was overwhelming at times. Often, I just wasn’t equipped to offer the help he needed.

Our son struggled with a learning disability, which made the work feel unending at times. My husband James was much better at helping him, so he took on this responsibility. But even with this division of labor, we had to make adjustments to our schedules, our lives, and our expectations to make sure our son did his homework as expected.

Life would be easier if all children were self-motivated students who came home, sat down, and dug into their homework without being asked. This is hardly the case, though. Therefore, you need to set up a system that is right for your child, and it’s going to be easier for some kids than for others.

We’re trying to raise our kids to be responsible and accountable for their homework. And we’re trying to avoid fighting with them over it every night. When I had parents in my office, I would take these concepts and show them how they could make it work for their families in their own homes. The families I worked with were able to turn the nightly homework struggle around successfully time and time again.

Hello, my grandson recently moved with me from another state. He is currently in 8th grade (but should be in 9th). He basically failed the last 2 years and was promoted. I would say he is at a 6th grade level. It's a daily fight with him to do his homework. He won't even try. I know a lot of this is because no one has ever made him do his homework before. I thought he would just have to get in a routine of doing it. He's been in school for a month now and its a fight every single day after school. I have lost all the patience I had. I am tired of being a broken record and being the "bad guy". I don't want to give up on him and send him back to his mom, where I know he will never graduate. I have made so many sacrifices to get him here, but I am literally at my wits end with this. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't think it was going to be this hard.

My rule is homework after school. If he comes home and does his homework after school, it was easier for him to complete. That lasted a week and a half. Now, he just sits there and does nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I couldn't live with myself if I sent him back and he became nothing but a drop out. I know I am not one to have patience, and I am trying but at the same time, I am almost over it. I don't like going to bed crying and knowing that he is crying too. I am open to all suggestions. Please and thank you.

I'm so sorry you are facing these struggles with your grandson. We here from many caregivers in similar situations, so you're not alone in your frustration. We have several articles that offer helpful tips for managing these homework struggles, which can be found here: https://www.empoweringparents.com/article-categories/child-behavior-problems/school-homework/

We appreciate you reaching out and wish you all the best moving forward. Be sure to check back and let us know how things are going.

Jessicar Thank you for this article and strategies. I echo many of the frustrations expressed by other parents here, including my opinion (as an educator) that homework should not exist. I agree that teachers and parents are in a struggle about which adult is responsible for supporting the child in getting More homework done. The best thing for my son was a free "homework club" in fourth and fifth grade where a teacher monitored completion of homework. He has nothing like this in middle school so far. Where I really disagree with the article is about extracurricular activities. Kids need physical activity through sports! They need enrichment beyond academics through the arts, theater, music. Many families send their children to religious, language, and/or cultural programs after school. If I sat in school all day, I'd want to move my body and interact with others too. The solution is not removing extracurricular activities that are healthy or motivating or valued. The solution is for schools to limit homework. Given that there is still homework as a reality--I'd like advice on when to have child do homework AFTER sports or extracurricular activity. When is the best time for homework if the goal is to go to bed on time (in my house in bed around 9 pm)? Between extracurricular and dinner--when the kid is tired? After dinner? My child is in 7th grade and I still can't figure it out. What do others do/think?

I found school to be extremely boring, as a teen. Looking back I realize that I hadn't found the work challenging enough. Personally, I struggled with this all through high school. I was completely disinterested in school, as a result.

I noticed that there wasn't a section addressing situations where children, who are motivated by challenges, do poorly as a result of boredom.

I enjoy reading many of the articles; even those which don't necessarily apply to my current situations with my child. One never knows what obstacles or challenges one may come across. Thank you

Here's what I know. Correcting our children when their behavior is displeasing is what most parents focus on. Without a lot of explanation I'm going to try to get you to change your focus. All children have 4 emotional needs:

1. A sense of belonging

2. A sense of personal power

3. To be heard and understood

4. Limits and boundaries

Rather than focus on your child's behavior, focus on meeting these needs. Meet the needs, change the behavior. There a 25 ways to meet these needs. One of the most effective is to spend regular one-on-one time with your child doing what your child wants to do. How do you spell love? T-I-M-E. It seems counter-intuitive, but just try it for a week. Do this for 1/2 hour every day for a week. See what happens.

Frustrated Confused Parent, I went through similar challenges with my son when he was in high school. As a grade school student his grades were always B and higher. The changes began when his mother and I separated; my son was 12yo. Prior to our separation I was the one who maintained, and enforced the habit of completing his assignments before extracurricular activities could be enjoyed. His mother never felt she had the patience or intelligence to assist him with his homework assignments and upon our separation she completely ignored his school work. Although he continued to follow the structure I had established through grade school, he soon began to realize that no one was showing interest any longer and, thus, began shirking school related responsibilities. My son and I were, and still are, close. I am certain that the separation likely had some affect on him, but it was more than that. He was reaching his teens and becoming more self-aware. Friends began to play a more integral and influential part in his life. Unfortunately my son's grades began slipping as he reached his early teens. For me, this was extremely frustrating since I was aware of how intelligent he was and of what he was capable. After many aggravating, lengthy, heated, and unyielding conversations with his mother about maintaining the structure established through grade school, it became clear she was incapable or simply unwilling. Essentially, he was on his own. Of course I would do whatever I could to help. For starters, I facilitated a transfer to a Charter School, realizing that he needed more individualized attention than that which a public school could provide. It seemed as though he was getting 'lost in the shuffle'.

Unfortunately the damage had already been done. After two years under his mother's lack of tutelage my son had developed some poor habits.

He struggled with maintaining good grades throughout his high school career. By 'maintaining good grades' I mean that he would take a grading of 45 in math and bring it to a 70 within three weeks of the end of a marking period. He ALWAYS passed, though. He would somehow get his grades to or even above passing by the end of the period. As I began to see this, I began to have more faith knowing that when the going got tough he would step up and take charge. It also indicated that he did well with what might perceive as an impossible goal. So, I started to have faith that he'd find his way.

He has since graduated, he has a good-paying job, and he is beginning school to become an electrician within the next month or so. In two weeks he moves into his own apartment, also. He's never done drugs, never drank alcohol, and never started smoking cigarettes. All of which I have done as a teen and well into my adult years. I am in recovery. My son is aware of my own struggles. Most importantly, I believe, is that he has a complete understanding that we all struggle in our own ways. Working through the difficulties, challenges, and obstacles are what makes us stronger and it's our compassion for others, and ourselves, which help us grow into decent adults.

I came to realize that the 'grades' he received in school had nothing to do with the amazing adult he's become; it was literally everything else.

NanaRound2 My 6 year old grandson has just taken 2 hours to write a list and write 3 sentences. He thinks if the words were shorter it wouldn't take so long. Already went through this with his dad. I celebrated more than he did when he graduated. Can't drag More another kid through school. Losing my mind and like the previous comment have tried EVERYTHING.

Yeah -been there, done that. Doesn't work. At least not for my child. I've read every *actual* parenting book out there ( You know, the books publishes by Harvard & Stanford professors who've been studying parenting and child psychology for the past 30 years?) ... and you're all missing something - because I've tried it all.

My kid DGAF. This was almost painful to read. "oh, yup - tried that one. That one too. Oh, hey - I've tried that as well."

This is so frustrating; tell me something I haven't already tried 50 times.

Psych Fan I'm with you my sophomore son DGAF . I tried so much stuff even set time stuff and he just doesn't go get his work out. He's 5'9 so I am 5'1 and I can't move him to do stuff . All he does is debate with me that More Grades really don't matter that he's like I'm just going to get D's because I'm not going to care to do better because I do not like school. He doesn't understand why I don't approve of D grades because I know he has better potential but he's like D grades I will pass and get my diploma .

The first thing on the list is to try and stay calm. While doing homework with my children I'm usually very calm. When I do get frustrated I'll leave the room for a moment, wash my face, and take a few deep breaths until I calm down. Or I'll make hot chocolate to help calm my nerves. It's not a perfect system, but what is?

Number two is to set clear expectations around homework time and responsibilities. We have a standard homework time at our house, with a timer and everything. If our kids meet the homework time goal they'll be rewarded later in the evening with family time. Each of our kids know their roles and responsibilities in the house whether the work gets done before dinner or not.

Number three is a relationship with the teachers, each of whom e-mail us, some two or three times a day. Contact with them has never been better. They're teachers are all pretty awesome too.

Number Four, play the parental role most useful to your child...I have three kids. One needs no help at all, one needs minor help and advisement, while the third requires constant supervision or their e-mail might 'accidentally' open up. This we've provided through double teaming. One parent works with them until the other gets home, then they switch while the other goes to make dinner.

Five, keep activities similar with all your kids. We all live on the same schedule, if one of them finishes homework early they get the reward of extra quiet reading time-my kids are ALL book worms.

Six, Set up a structured time and place for homework. Done. Homework table with a supplies basket right in the middle of the room. Big enough for all of them to work at and then some, it's an octagonal table which my husband built. I also always have their 'homework snacks' waiting for them when they get home, and I usually try to make it healthy-even if they don't realize it.

Seven, start early. My kids have been doing 'homework' with me since they were babies, and (as I pointed out to them yesterday) they loved it. We'd learn about cooking, dinosaurs, amphibians, insects, math, English, chemistry, even the periodic table came up. We'd do work pages every day and they'd love it.

Eight, hurdle help, works in area's like math, but not so much with history or English when the problems aren't as straight forward. But we do use this method where it applies.

Nine, choose the best person for the job. I'm best at English and my husband at math. When I get stuck on math I know who to go to, and I'll even study in my spare time to get better at it so I can be more useful in case he has to work late. That being said, we both devote a lot of our time to helping our kids with their homework.

Ten, show empathy and support. Done, not only can I relate to my kids, but I've pointed out that not getting their work done will make them feel bad bad enough, and that that's why we should work on getting it done together, so they have something to be proud of.

Use positive reinforcement and incentives. :) There was this one time I sat my son down at a table with a work book about 400 pages long. He was young, not even in school yet. Next to the book I placed a giant bag of M&Ms. I told him for every page he got done, he could have one m&m. About ten minutes later he finished the workbook and grinned up at me. When I found out he'd finished the book, I quickly checked it to see if it was done well, and then pushed the bag of M&M's towards him and told him he could just have it...Now they get rewarded in video games and computer time...

It seems that according to this article I'm doing everything right...So why is my child still struggling with homework/classwork? They've literally just refused to do it. Have seriously just sat in their chair without saying a word and stared at the table, or desk, or screen- as the majority of work is now done on computers...I'll sit with them, ask them if they need help, try to help them with problems. They will tell me the right answer to the questions being asked and then refuse to write it down. I feel like I've done everything I can as a parent to help them, but despite all my efforts, it isn't working. So...when all of these things fail, when a parent has done everything right, and there is nothing more they can do short of taking the pen or pencil into their own hands and doing it themselves, (but that would be cheating their child out of an education) what then should the parents do?

When our kids don't get their homework done before dinner, they're sent down the hall where it's quiet so they can finish it at the desk there, while the other kids have family time. They are told to come and get us if they really need help after that. But at this point it's like ostracizing our child for not doing homework.

I agree with most of what's on this page, and our family lifestyle reflects that, but I will disagree with one thing it said. It is our job to help our kids and be supportive of them yes, to nurture them and help them get the skills they need to take care of themselves and their home when they're older...but it is not our job to do the teachers work for them, they get paid for that. Some days it seems like that's what's expected of parents. Some even send home classwork if the kids don't finish it in class. Which means the child now has even more work to do on top of their homework. Though I understand that the teachers want the child to finish the lesson, and were the homework not a factor I probably wouldn't mind it as much. I don't even mind them sending home study guides to help kids before tests (Which is what homework was originally) but to send home overwhelming piles of work each night for parents to help kids with, (Each child with different homework so that parents need to bounce from history, to math to English) it's unreasonable. When teachers send home homework, they're dictating what the parents can do with the little time they have with their child. Which is wrong. We once had to cancel a trip to a science museum because our child had too much homework to finish and there was no way to make it in time and get their homework done. They could have had an amazing educational experience which would overall help them get excited about learning with new and fun tactile experiences, but their schedule (and therefore our schedule) was being dictated by the teacher while they weren't even in class. Of course I try not to talk bad about homework in front of my children, because that would make it even more difficult to get them to do it. But children NEED family time, they NEED to be kids. To be allowed to get away from their work and be themselves, to go outside and play with their friends, or even go out to dinner once in a while with their parents. Homework has made it difficult to grow a relationship with our children beyond the confines of what the teachers are dictating. It's violating in some ways and frustrating in others. It's grown into this monstrous thing which it was never meant to become, and the funny part about it is that most studies done on it show that schools who don't have homework have higher test scores and graduation rates. Not to mention better mental health rates. Studies also show, that after a child is taught something, they'll only really learn it after a good nights sleep, and that no amount of homework will change that. Sleep is what our bodies need to absorb important information we learn throughout the day, so staying up late with homework might even be harmful to a child's education...

Sorry I guess that turned into a bit of a rant...In the end I was hoping to find something useful in this article, something I hadn't tried that might work, but I've done it all, and will probably continue to do all of it in hopes that consistency might be the key...It's just that even after years of already doing All of this consistently, it's still not working. It's as if my child has made a conscious decision Not to work. He's not unintelligent, he understands it, he's even been tested and found to have an above average ability to learn. He just not doing it..So what now? What more can I do to actually inspire him to do the work?

AshumSmashum Out of all of this, most of which I've read and tried a billion times, your comment hit deeper. My son scores in the 99% on tests but cannot sit down and do the simplest homework. He does have autism and adhd so when he freezes up on homework, despite More knowing it, I'm lost at how to help him get it done. He knows the work so why does he need to show it with 20 math problems after school that take forever to complete one? (whatever honors algebra stuff he's in, I was lucky to learn division lol) He has a high IQ and excels in all subjects and yet is being tutored, so far, in English just to get the work done. I'm so done with the emotional toll it takes on me and him at home. Nobody wants to go to work for 8 hours and come home and do the same for another 5 so why do we think our kids want to come home and do more classwork? I'm so appreciative of your comment!

JC Hi Barb, thank you for bringing this up! My son sounds a lot like you...and he really wants to get good grades and go to an Ivy League school. What could someone do to help an 8th grader in the moment of struggle, while making sure they don't get more More anxious from falling behind for the rest of the year?

Tb Hi Barb, I'm the parent of an 8th grader and I want to thank you for the comment you left here. You helped me look at the deeper issues and I really appreciate that. I'm going to approach the conversation with my son differently, thanks to you. Thank More you!

My 11 year old daughter, Alice, has always helped her 7 year old sister, Chole, with homework. But just recently Alice has been giving Chole the wrong answers. We have been trying to get her to give Chole the correct answers

but she always yells at us. She has a baby sister 2 months named Ray and ever since Ray was born she has been giving Chole wrong answers. I once overheard her and Kevin, my husband, talking about how she felt left out. She came and talked to me and said exactly what she had told Kevin. She also told me she has been getting bad grades and doesn't get her homework. Me and Alice talked and she said "All the cool New York girls get straight A's and ever since I started getting D's and F's they said I wasn't cool anymore." We started having her grandparents come over and she would yell, hit, scream, and talk back to them. She is a great student but she spends all of her time on her phone. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even at school she is on her phone. All I'm asking is that 1. How do I make her stop screaming, yelling, hitting, and back talking? 2. How do I make her feel cool and get A's again?and 3. How do I get her off her phone?

sounds like you have a number of concerns around your daughter’s behavior, and

it certainly can feel overwhelming. We would suggest https://www.empoweringparents.com/article/its-never-too-late-7-ways-to-start-parenting-more-effectively/ and focusing on just one or two of the most serious, to get

started. Behaviors like verbal or physical abuse would be of top priority,

while behaviors like https://www.empoweringparents.com/article/how-to-walk-away-from-a-fight-with-your-child-why-its-harder-than-you-think/ we would recommend ignoring, and not giving it any power or control.

Empowering Parents author Sara Bean offers some great insight into the reason

for poor child behavior in her article, https://www.empoweringparents.com/article/the-surprising-reason-for-bad-child-behavior-i-cant-solve-problems/.It sounds like your daughter is struggling to

find more effective ways to solve the problems she is facing, and the result is

the acting out behavior. Keep in mind, you can’t make your daughter do anything, but what you can do is help her to

learn better tools to solve whatever problems may come her way. Best of luck to

you and your family as you continue to work on this.

Emma Reed Alice also swears at school and she swears to teachers. Please we have tried everything, even her sister at age 18. What have we done wrong?

Being away from loved ones when they are struggling can be

distressing. It may help to know that it’s not unusual to see changes in

behavior as kids move from the tweens into adolescence, as Janet Lehman

explains in the article https://www.empoweringparents.com/article/adolescent-behavior-changes-is-your-child-embarrassed-by-you/. Normally responsible

kids can start to push back against meeting expectations and disrespect towards

parents and other authority figures can become quite common. The behavior you

describe isn’t OK; it is normal though. I can hear how much you want to help

your daughter and granddaughter

mphyvr Thanks for all these "strategies", they might work for some parents, but quite simplistic and just plain old common sense for more defiant kids... Thanks anyways and hope this article helps many.

Psych Fan I'm a mom of a sophomore he's also a swearing boy and will have quite a tantrum even with consequences of take away all he does is sleep. He doesn't like school says school is a waste of time and that grades won't matter in his adulthood . He says More it over n over about how schooling won't help him in the future as I go it will help you do good on a ACT and SAT he is like getting good scores on those are only good if your going to college. He also is like jobs won't look at my grades . I tell him homework teaches him responsibility once a job sees your amount of effort in school your going to have a heck of time getting hired. I even ask him how is he going to succeed to work real well at a job when he doesn't work hard at school he goes I don't need to work hard at school but I will need to work hard at a job.

dcastillo68 If it was only this simple, but, in reality it is not.  Middle school syndrome is the worst.  Kids don't want to be labeled as nerds so they do everything to try to fail.  I went through that with my first born, and now again with my youngest.  It is More very frustrating when I was the total opposite when I was growing up.  I cared about my grades an I took it for granted thinking they will feel the same way.  Now seeing how they are happy with just getting by is really frustrating to me because I am such an over achiever.  They didn't even get an ounce of this.  Very very frustrating.  And I wish I have never invited video games to this household.  That is all they want to do.  I keep using this an incentive to bring them back on track, but as soon as I give them their games back, they are back to their old habits.  Sorry, but I can't wait until they are finished with school and hopefully moving out of state to hopefully a college career.  I may change my mind later, but at the moment, this is just how I feel.  It is very hard too when you don't get any help.  I find today's teacher to be lazy and pushing on more responsibility to the parents.  Who has time to do a full day's of work, only to do additional work at home?  okay, enough venting.

@frustrated single dad Diane Lewis Hi there - I have a son adopted out of foster care.  He is 6 1/2 and has been in 5 homes.  He is totally the same!  They learn this behavior and are incredibly manipulative.  They are so insanely smart.  I worry about exactly the same thing.  They turn on and off the behavior depending on who they are with and what they want.

We did Parent Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT) at the Mailman Center (Jackson Hospital Miami).  It made a huge difference in the short-term.  They basically taught us to be full-time behavioral therapists with my son.  The effects wore off after a few months as my son adapted and found ways to circumvent the consequences techniques taught to us.  He is like the Borg!  I am going back to get more ideas on how to adapt and change and stay one step ahead of my son.  The gals there are really smart!

So, that being said - we have to be Jean Luc Picard and constantly change and adapt and outsmart them - just like changing the phasers on a laser gun!  It is bloody hard work.  And, harder the older they get -

eg.  He drops like a dead weight - throws his book bag and will not get in the car to go to school - response - next morning I headed it off by calling out to the kids "LAST ONE IN THE CAR IS A ROTTEN EGG!"  This has worked for 2 days now.  

Wont do homework 2 nights ago - response - "ooh I like doing word puzzles - Im going to do them and win" - this worked one night but not the next - he just then just left me to do his work - so I have told his teacher that there will be no school party for Alex next week unless he gets his homework finished - we will see if this works.....

It is totally exhausting and you have to be on your A game all the time.  Im telling you this but - I have to tell myself this too.  We have to stay really fit (like cross fit) and work out like a marine.  We have to be very disciplined with ourselves - a healthy body is a healthy mind - we cannot let up at all.  We have to stay calm at all times (again self discipline).  

Im always looking for concrete reactions to situations with my son.  Like I said - the entire day goes on like this with everything except what he wants to do.  Wont get dressed in the morning - put out his clothes in dining room where there are no distractions or toys - tell him that if he gets dressed and ready for school quickly - he can spend the left over time on the trampoline.  That worked this morning.

STAY STRONG MY BROTHER IN ARMS!!!  If you can get into a PCIT program - do it.

Love to you - R

My child comes home and says he doesn't have homework, does something easy to make it look like he's doing his homework, or says he did it during free time in class.  How do you combat this without going to the school everyday?  Neither my husband nor I can do More this because of work, and the we asked the teacher's if it was possible to send us the assignments via email or let us come pick them up once a week with no cooperation.  He is a very smart kid and gets "A's' on the work he does, but he is failing all of his core classes because he won't do homework.

@atmywitsend  , my child is the same way.  I'm at my wits end.  I feel like I'm a failure as a parent because I thought I taught my smart kid to succeed - and instead she's lying to me.

Psych Fan NinaMays I'm with the same feelings as my son can be above a C student but he choose to go oh I rather just get F's on this work than to actually get at least a B or A on these many assignments.. I ask him why he chooses F's More in many assignments when he could get a grade to bring his grades up and me telling me he's not being his full potential as by making him not do his work how can I truly believe he's going to be successful and he's like I have big brains . Then I'm like why not show me by doing your school work he goes I don't need do that and I show you of my big brains by telling you school isn't important. Telling me I am brainwashed. He is a sophomore in high school.

FRUSTRATED PARENT NinaMays This is my reality too - "relationship" with teachers is difficult when they won't co-operate with homework expectations, or follow up email - the schools complain that kids are on the internet - yet its them providing wifi passwords - so kids are playing in class - lying about More homework - and since I'm not in the class, I have no idea until report cards surface.

Basic English Grammar – Do, Does, Did, Don’t, Doesn’t, Didn’t

Test your understanding of this English lesson

963 comments.

Good job! But where is the did and didn’t? it’s not even in the quiz. Tnxs

thanks but i dont understand the use of these words

i want to know about use of shall and will,, i know that shall use with i,& we but whenever our teachers use will with i and we why ?

“Shall” has a few different uses.

1) It can mean the same thing as “I will” — “I will tell you tomorrow”/”I shall tell you tomorrow”.

2) It can be used to talk about something that has to be done, or to tell people to do something. “Students shall write their names at the top of the page.”

3) It can be used in questions — to talk about something that could happen, or make a suggestion. “Shall I come back later?” could mean that you are asking someone if you should come back later or not, or that you are suggesting you could come back later if they want.

“Shall” is very common in the UK, but not at all in North America. In North America we would use “will”/”must”/”will” + “maybe”/”could” instead.

Sorry mam your voice is low, but your teaching is good.

Thank you so much.

We do like Engvid

Oh sorry its in the discussion but not in the quiz :-)

i am now well awairness to these words. Basic problem is to short vacbluary. can you help me to imporve my vablury and also learing your lession.

All your classes are fantastic!

are you in 8th standard

Engvid is a great ESL site .in fact you have special technique in teaching and I’d like to ask you to teach me how to think of things with their English name not with my original language and then translate it to English thank a lot.

Thinking of things in English and not in your original language is not something I can teach you… it is something that must happen in your brain. Once you begin to “switch your brain” over to English, then you can begin to think of words in English. I can only suggest going to an English speaking country, or talking to yourself in English.

You used word absolutely correct and i am really impressed with this.

Thanks for such kind of great artical putting here.

hi ronnie sent me your email address and id plz contact me

Hi teacher ronnie! im just confused, how about “IT”? can we say IT did or IT didn’t?

It + did/didn’t.

Hi, Ronnie! I like your way of teaching! Because you did not mention how to use the “It” in the present and in the past?

teacher where we use names with do or does i think does

Hi.. could you please help me with the grammer in this.. usually we use does with he.we could say he doesn’t calle me..but in spoken English we could also say he didn’t call me..so which is correct?

I want to learn the usage of DO , does and didn’t with IT , That and any particular object.

Thanks for Good teach. it is clear to use Do, Does and did in talk.

hello ronnie, I love your lectures. I watched your lectures have,has,had and this one.I got a doubt, ‘I do have’ and ‘I have’ is these both same or different or wrong.

i don’t want love again, because my heart is broken

Ronnie is completely right when she says that must happen in your brain. It’s easy, and everything you have to do is to collect very large fund of words, adjectives, verbs, nouns, adverbs, preposition etc., in order to use adequate word to describe something that is instantly in your mind. I did it :))))))

Eurekaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.. You are great.

its relly amazing!thanks a lot

Walter you’re Filipino? I recognise the flag, I lived in the Philippines for a while.

hi chris! just happened to see your comment. I live here in the Philippines (I am Filipina). It’s nice to know someone who’s proud to say, you once lived here. I hope you had a great time here. God bless!

HI Ronnie, I like your lessons very much.May god bless you in all the ways.Expeting more lessons from you guys..THANKS

i am not understanding when to use when does you go to office and when you go to your office

the problem is there is not new lesson the website i think u should upload daily new lessons beside of all all lectures are very good

I want to ask you for sure, Is that sentence correct ‘I haven’t seen him in ages’. I’m not sure about the preposition in. I have been studying that i haven’t seen him for ages but not in ages. Can you do me a favor, just tell me that it’s quite possible to use it ‘In ages’. I’m looking forward to hear from you in near the future.

Yes, you can say both!!! I haven’t seen him in ages or for ages!!!

thanks i didn’t know that and i was always confused to use in or for

Hi Valen, Thanks for your useful teaching video. I like the way you teach and your great voice. Over all, you are Awesome Valen. Keep on the good work. Bravo!

HI, I like it.

You forgot it, and later on while you are explaining did, you don’t mention you. You are nice and good but this is very amateur teaching level.

Dear teachers,

Do you have abc lessons?

i very inspire from miss valen.

Actually,I like to thank for all teachers in ‘www.EngVid.com’. Because of watching these videos I could learn a lot of new things and correct some of my grammar mistakes. Thanks a lot again.

i thing you are a great teacher in my life

I am an IT graduate in the phil and its really hard for me to construct good sentences so i tried to search for english online lessons. I found your tutorials direct and simple and it really helped me a lot. Thanks! keep it up.

thanks…….

Dear Miss Valen: THANK you very much for your fantastic classes. I like your voice, your pronunciation,your technique, your spelling and must of all, you transmit you love to teach!I find this classes very helpfull.

Hi, thanks a lot. I’d like to know the usage of DO and WH- in question~ thanks

hi miss ronnie how r you.you done a great job..i have learn much more thing from this lesson….God bless you thanks

Hi, you have missed “It does” “it doesn’t” and in the past “yout did” and “you didn’t” examples. Please the next time be more professional and give us more correctly grammar. Thank you. :)

More correctly grammar? you mean to say please use better grammar? or Please use correct grammar. It’s not polite to try and find fault, Especially when your unable to use correct grammar also. The lesson was very good for those who may not have a good understanding of Do, Don’t, Did, Didn’t.

If you know grammar very well why do you watch it , I main lessons .

Is this sentence correct “he does do his homework”.

He does his homework. (does and do are the same verb) We would only use “He DOES do his homework” if I was trying to prove a point that indeed the guy does homework.

Best advice… don’t think about grammar rules… JUST TALK! I’m sure the person will be able to understand you! Remember that using your hands and body language will help you, too!

You have a point!

yah..your right ronnie…thanks to you..

wow its too easy… try something little more difficult..???

if don’t know to speak eng i’ll teach you how to

is this right

this is very nice teaching u but u have to put some more questions, in all the tenses

I recently saw the sentence which included – if IT doesn’t….. Why i didn’t tell us about IT??

hi, thank you so much for your teaching…We really learned from it together with my children..Kindly explain to us the difference of has and does?How and when can we to use it?tnx again god bless…

“He has a truck.” Has means he possesses something. “He does his homework.” Does means to do something.

Thank you very much Teacher Ronnie for giving me this tips of teaching English grammar here in Korea. It’s very fun and not complicated.

Nice class,would like to see more examples

can you see your lesson is very easy?

I like studying english, but I can’t write sentence incorrect.How do I do?

You should learn basic sentence structure if you want to write sentences correctly. Watch more engVid lessons!

now i know how to use do, does , and did. And how to use it in negative.. thanks guys

thank you =)

thank a lot

i have a doubt why we cannot use does has or doesn’t has instead of does have or doesn’t have?for she or he we have to use “has” right but above case why we dont?

We must say “She/He doesn’t have” because the auxiliary verb “do” is the only verb you need to change to suit the subject.

hi teacher,, i’d like to ask you question about the question above that you but it. what do you mean by hear? becouse i answerd thise question in awronge way because idont know whats the mean of hear,,, thanks again for you ihop ican speak english very easy by helping of you

Thank you very much for your education for us , That’s great .

i like this theaching methed

Hello teacher , I like your learning style I studied English in New Zealand , Manukau MIT 12 months and I still can’t use freely the language. I had a lot of homework but little explanation and I just remember the material, but I must understand the logic of constructing for that to be able to make their own sentences. With your help, I began to understand much more. Many thanks

thank you very much for your education for us.that’s great

plz mam straight your hair you could no no no no u should

Every lesson you taught was very helpful for a learner like me. Thank you so much for your good teaching method. I hope to see more of your English grammar lessons.

you are so gifted for teaching thank you a lot!!!

Oh!! than you so much!! now I understood! a have a period exam tomorrow and now I am sure I will get this topic correct!! Thank you!!

NEARLY THAT I SEE VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND THIS VIDEO AND TASKS BELOW WHICH I CAN DO PERFECT

Wow,helpful!

Hi Ms. Ronie, how about “it” what I am gonna use is it “do” or “does” Thanks, have a great day

What do you think you should use with it? I’ll tell you the answer once you tell me what you think.

“it does” or “it doesn’t” is that correct? or there’s anything else? thanks

Yes! You are correct!

You r a good teacher, thank you

Thank you too much, I think this website is the best one in the world about learning English, with best regards

thank you sear .. it’s very good

thank you ma’am .. it’s very good

Hi!How are you?you are great!Thank you!

Will you please tackle about Other Pronoun forms? 1. Between you and (I,me),” said Tonya, “we will probably be assigned to the McMeekin account.” The answer is “me”. Why? What is the rule about this?

2. Have you asked Joseph and (she, her) if they plan to attend the seminar?

3. It was not (I, me) who ordered this manual.

4.Please explain my absence to Arthur and (she, her).

5. I do not know (who, whom)our manager selected to replace Pierre.

6. Mr. Parmar is the only broker (who, whom) we called for an appraisal.

Please explain these in a much easier to understand lesson.

Thanks, Joshua

Ah… you are confused because the usage of “whom” and “I” are old school grammar book rules! Whereas “who” and “me” we use nowadays! So, in very OLD FORMAL English, the correct answers are 1.I, 3)I, 5)whom, 6)whom but in spoken English (which ignores a lot of the rules) we would use me, me, who, and who! Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot for these video

Thank you for this lesson. Q. Why don’t talk about “it” ?!

it + does >> like: he & she

It doesn’t work.

Don’t and doesn’t for speaking only, for writing I should write “do not” and “does not” .. that right ??

hi u r the best teacher i guess! bcz the way u teach its very simple thanx and one more thing i wanna ask u could u plz send me ur all videoes on my email address from start to end from which i can speak english very well thank u so much

Thanks so much

What about ( it ) ?

hi ronnie when i spoke to my friends, sometime i get confused because not sure about are you going there or do you go there? please help me with this confusion.

“Are you going there?” is to ask if you plan to go somewhere in the future. Eg: “Are you going to the gym tomorrow?” “Do you go there?” is to ask if the person frequents a place. Eg: “Do you go to Starbucks?” “Do you go to the gym?” — They are asking if you go to these places a lot!

we use HE/SHE/IT whith does and doesn’t or not

please tell the use of would that in which kind of situation we use that….i,m looking forward to hear you in near future is it correct?

in tenses please..and or, like what teacher ronnie did in her teachings with negative and a positive..thanks a lot..God bless..

name is mhammad

LET me one kis Ronnie

I want to know when should I use didn’t & dont.

I, you, we, they… you use don’t in the PRESENT tense. Use didn’t for the PAST tense!

thanxxxxx…..can u give more examples of do,,,,,does,,did…….waiting 4 ur rply

You are a fantastic teacher.. CONGRATULACION

nice teacher & nicely teach. want more……..

I think that you forgot “it” takes does for example : about apartment “It doesn’t have many rooms” thanks alot

ahh thanks a lot Ma’am I do remember now:-<

I have a question, the correct phrase is: ‘love don’t cost a thing’, why not doesn’t, like ‘love doesn’t cost a thing’.

Thank you. I look foward for your answer.

indeed it should be love doesn’t cost a thing but grammar is always ignored in songs!

thanks you my good teacher

thank’s

What do I use when refering to a singular object? This weapon don’t or doesn’t exist?

hi madam i like your teaching.pls help me for that. what is verb 1 verb2 and verb3 it is present,past,and future tense.thanx

it’s very useful to me. i like your class

i want to know. do i need to use base verb when i ask question

I didn’t really understand your question! Could you please give me an example? When we use question form, we say…..Did he eat the pizza?, or Do you like fish? Hope that helps you!

my score is 2 .. .more need to try …

very goooooooooooooooood side

hello haw are you i love you i am learn english for you :D

egypt ismail nassar

Hi, i would really appreciate if you could help me figure the right word to use here. Should i use ‘don’t or ‘doesn’t in this sentence :

“Chris wants to buy a new book but don’t/doesn’t know which to get”

I think the right verb to use is “doesn’t” because the mention of name is the same as using it for he/she (singular 3rd party)

Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks Ronnie

You are correct!!!!

tnx.. With your lesson, now i can use those verbs in a right manner.. Thank you very much

wohoow! I got the perfect score! Cool… I enjoy it!

hi ronnie! how are you doing? You always did a good job. Will you please write example about do,does,did,it,and names? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it, you have a wonderful day

Hi Ronnie! How are you doing? You always do a good job. Will you please write an example sentence using the words, “do, does, did, and it.” Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. You have a wonderful day.

hi ronine my question is do tell me i ask ? start from is am are and u not answar with yes or no u give me information about that question ?

Thanks a lot, i am from Turkey, nice and helpful job

hello mam, I like your teaching very much.Now i’m very happy & taking lot of interest in learning how to speak english.Thanx a lot. Can you give me more questios for quiz?

thanxs it is a great website.. i want to learn how does verb changes in present ,past & future using do, dont,does,doesnt,did & didnt

so… fantastic!!! but i have a question:)) is “your mama don’t know” a right english? or “your mama doesn’t know”

“Your mama doesn’t know” is correct!

hi Ronnie, Its great to have a teacher like you. Need to know that if we are beginners then from where to start learning English, I mean about a sequence, that what should be the first topic then the second and so on, like a learning chart. Hope if you can make this easier for all of us.

Thanks & Regards BJ

I think you should learn basic vocabulary and verbs first. Then simple present tense, past and future tense.

Which Is Correct ? I Didnt spend or i didnt spent ? thanks

I didn’t spend is correct. Didn’t is past so you don’t need to change “spend” to past tense!

now i learn something new

thank you very much

OoOoOh,, Very great and Basic lecture..

Thank you verrrrrrrrrrrrry much..

i like a lot and understand easly thanks

thanks you save my life… :D

For “does” and “doesn’t” you forgot the pronoun “it.”

Example: ‘It ((the toaster)) doesn’t ususally work. It does sometimes work after I whack it a bit.’ I suggest a dding the nonpersonal pronoun “it” to this lecture — as well as the use of non-pronoun subjects with “do,” “does,” etc.

i like your lesson lovely lesson

thank your very much for this free lesson. your a very good teacher.

what is correct. 1.the house doesn’t/dont have a roof? 2. lot of people don’t/doesn’t have a food on their plate. 3.their wives doesn’t/dont have a money

You have to think if the noun is singular or plural. If it is singular use does/doesn’t. Plural, use do/don’t. You think about this and email me what YOU think the answers are! Good luck!

I took above three questions as my exercise and find the answers below.

1. the house doesn’t have a roof? 2. lot of people don’t have a food on their plate. 3.their wives dont have a money

Please check and correct me if anything wrong.

You need to put a capital letter on every sentence. A food and a money are both wrong. It should be money/food.

Dear Ronnie, Thanks for your good effort. Your exercise is very interesting. I wish you post many exercise so that it will improve english grammer to every one using your net. Thank you and good work. KEEP IT UP.

Dear Ronnie, Thank you very much for your good method of teaching. It is well explained and easy to understand. I have a request if you don’t mind please. I want to know the proper usage of “articles”. Your kind consideration is much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to do that video for you! Please be patient as we film every 4 months. Thanks for watching and good luck!

hi,good gob

thank you are best teacher

Thank you, really helped to refresh my memory in applying basic rules in constructing sentences.

good job.i m very thank full to u

A very informative lesson. Eventhough, I am advanced in some levels, I find the basics very confusing, but now resolved. Thankyou for your wonderful teaching

Very good explanation but I think… you didn’t mention “it” when you explained Do/Does Also, you forgot “you” when you explained Did/didn’t.

hello engvid i like ur way or teaching.it’s very interesting.so now i have joined engvid and i watching and listing everyday ur lessons.thanxx

helo ms RONIE.are you? i wanna thank you to help me learn english. i realy wanna speak like you.once again thank you very much [haiti]

OMG thanks so much i love that girl, she knows how to explain i was confuse with those things about does and doesn’t thanks so so so so so muuuuuuuuuuch

this is great.

Hi Ronny, i have two questions . first one, What’s diffrence between these sentences. he likes her & he does like her. second question, i answerd these quiz but there one question missunderstand mean this senetnce”She does not like him bescause he is verey meaning her” it mean he not love him because he care her or she hate him because he nosy ..forget to tell you that’s first time to share here but i intearsting & enjoy by your method .so, i singup here & put in my favourit & will follow your video & new news hope to continue

“He likes her” is how we normally say that one person likes another. “He DOES like her”, is ONLY to emphasize that he indeed does like her! ”She does not like him because he is very meaning her”…. This should say ….””She does not like him because he is very mean to her”. It means that he is a bad person and not nice to her, so she does not like him! Thanks for watching and good luck!

Hi Ronnie, First, I would like to thank you for helping me passing the english profiency test In LA VERNE UNI.-CA, so now I am eligible to join thier graduate programme as my first degree is from overseas. but behind the teaching point. I was very frustrated that I moved to US 4 years ago, working hard and overcoming all challenges i had,until I become a citizen here. I was struggling to back to school, I was down and sad, but since i start to watch your video’s and James’s too, I found both of you very positive and energetic. Thanks for helping me achieve my dream. GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU . Mohamed Abdou

Thank you, Ronnie, The lesson is very useful and I have not learnt to use these words correctly.

How to say? He doesn’t like… or He IS doesn’t like… where a lesson on this subject? You are a gifted teacher.

He doesn’t like is correct!

How about when we get the mistake that we say HE DO? That’s really feel confusion Miss Ronnie!! Y_Y

You have to say “he does” !

If my subject is IT. Then whether i have to use does or do

Thanks mam. Please tell me which of the following is correct?

What do jhon and raja do? What does jhon and raja do?

can you teach me if possible one sentence .i.e. how do you do?

Thank you so much! it helps! can you teach me how to you for and to in correct sentence? coz sometimes I’m confused. like for example. it means nothing for me or it means nothing to me. haha.:) I think its “to me”. right? nah.. so confusing how to use those words… thanks again!

It means nothing to me, is correct! I will try to make a video for you!

,,hi!i am from Philippines,,,8 is my frst time to watch your lesson and i i like it,,,,ihope you can teach me on how to use the negative words in a sentence,,,and how to identify them..tnx

Pls tell me when we need to use Did, Was-were, Had, Have-Has…. I am totally confused on these words… tell me with examples… pls pls pls…..

its very good ,,thank you ronnie.

thanks mam ronnie for sharing this.

hi good day, But where is the did and didn’t? it’s not even in the quiz. Thamks

hi just want to ask if the word is right? you did it? if right so it means that “you” also can connect with did or didn’t? thanks!

Yes, you are correct!

what about You didn’t? is it right?

what about it??? Liza likes fruits. is it right to say…… Does Liza like fruits? Do Jade and Jim like fruits? Do, does and did could be used for the name of person? thanks

Yes, all of your examples are correct! Great work!

Pls tell me when we need to use Did, Was-were, Had, Have-Has…. I am totally confused on these words… tell me with examples… pls pls pls…..

Please tell me madam… I am waiting for your reply… its a small thing to you, but for me its a big big biiiiiiiig problem……

Was/were is the past form of “to be” verb. I was here. We were at the park. Did is the past form of do. We use for actions.,,,, I did my homework. I did the laundry. Have/has is present, had is past tense. We use to show possession – I have 5 dogs. She has a headache. I hope that helps!

Please tell me which of the following is correct?

What do jhon and raja do?

why used “do” and not “does”, as we learnt from earlier examples that with names we use “does”

mam very very usefull classes and clear the doubt by reading the answer u giving for the comments thanks and kind regards Gazzali

haha! piece of cake!!

thanks roonie you cleared my doubts

you r good teacher.i like ur teaching style,i can easily understand.thanks a lot.my problem is i can understand but,i can’t speak english very well.help me plz,

“This is not suitable for our current requirement”. is this sentence correct? if yes which tense

“This is not suitable for our current requirement” is correct. It is present tense because the verb is “is”.

as per my understanding when we use present continues we have to use am/is/are+v1+ing. but in this sentense i have a confusion “It is not suitable ” i cant use ing here. is this sentence correct ?

“It is not suitable” is correct. You cannot use suitable with ing.

Dear Ronnie, Thank you very much for your good method of teaching. teacher i want to know that what is difference between “believe and belief”?? thanks.. waiting for your reply…

Muhammad Kashif.

Believe is a verb… “I believe (think) I can fly.” Belief is a noun… “I have a belief (idea) that I can fly.”

thank you teacher

Hello Ronnie! i am your new student i don’t like your way of teaching

Hello Ronnie! i am your new student i don’t like your way of teaching i love it could you pl tell me how we use do didand does in questions.thanks & take care.see you

oohh wat a nice lesson though its commonly used still, it is still confusing.. before i was too confused of using it.. and since i decided to enroll at english proficiency so.. i came up.. with it.. tenx again for the additonal info.. about using these words..

sorry it was typo error.. omit the “still” after it is hehe,.

nice!! tenx for additional info about these words..

hie miss Ronnie :-) u r a brilliant teacher… !!! i have loved your teaching style tommorow is my test of english …!!! hope ur lesson will work .. :-) please make a video of past and future tenses. with thier uses … ! there is question – i has read my story book / i have read my story book …:-) thank you so very much

I have read my story book. We always use I +have!~ Good luck on your test!!!!!!!!!

i know basic grammar ruls

i nead vacabulary wards

what can i do ?

To improve your vocabulary, try to learn one or 2 new words a day and use them in a sentence!

On the explanation of the Do and Does. I did not see the it form which also belongs to the 3rd person singular group (He and She), but the rest was very useful. Thank you.

trully good lesson of yours, can you teach the rules of how to change the negative into a positive?

hello i’ so much interested with your lesson can i aks a question? i just want to know how to change the positive one into a negative?

very useful

Thanks to you and this program and i have some problem in the grammer how i can learn it Thank you

this was a beautiful and easy way of showing how to use do,and does but i needed clarity on does+it thank you

i visited your website,i was amazed on your topic..but i’m still confused.i will just ask which is correct grammar.I didn’t see or I didn’t saw?

I didn’t see. Didn’t is past tense so you don’t need to change the second verb.

Hello Ronnie! I’m liking so much of your lessons! In this moment I’m studying alone, so this site is very useful. Thank you!

thx mam you are very good teacher

Thanks a lot Ronnie :) Your way of teaching is so clear.

Didn’t you understand the question? normally we use yes,i did or no i didn’t but can we say yes i didn’t? so can anyone help ….

WHICH IS CORRECT? *did your mother went to the store? *does your sister has sandals?

They are both wrong!

hi, what is the correct form of the sentence? thank you …

Hello Ronnie…… this is really a good class. though i manage to write and speak english i always had confusion in using ” do, does and did”. thanks a lot for this video. however, i have one clarification pls… wen we use past you mentioned “did” is used along with “I, we, they, she & he”. How about for “You”? should we not use “did” for “you”?

thanks a lot for your prompt response.

do you mean to say …to use or not to use “did” with “you”?

You are a superb teacher! thank you.

Use did with I, he,she, we, they, you, it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Verbs are difficult – just try to learn 2-3 a day and use them in a sentence…..Don`t try to learn too many at once! Your brain may explode!

its very simple …….Good teaching

Hi, thanks Ronnie for this great lesson.it’s very helpful

Maam Ronnie your awesome, ms Ronnie my question is this, why the baby did not know how to write and how to read, why she could speak very well… I think the best to do is, if you want to know how to speak english fluently regardless of education i would suggests you can always hear the conversation in english language. reading and writing did not really2x essential I think hearing is best method if you to know how to speak English fluently. What do you think ms Ronnie? correct me if I’m wrong… thank and god bless…..

I think it depends on how you learn – some people can just learn by listening, others need to see the words, others need a more physical learning environment. Everyone is different. When I learned Japanese I had to write down the words to remember how to say them….but I didn’t learn the grammar!

how to use would?

I want to know, why does the word she is used with have ? :S She is the third person and have is used in only negative sentences. :/ If you can help me out of this thing. I’ll be quite pleasured. :D

In the example “Does she have”, we have to change only the aux. verb do to reflect the noun…..We don’t have to change any other verb….We don’t say “Does she has”….. I don’t know WHY – I have no idea why we have ALL they grammar rules that we do – they don’t make sense to me!!

tank you so much Ms Ronnie

Dear Ms. Ronnie Good Day! while telephone conversation the other end of the person asked me that Mr.Vange is there (Vange is my collegue) and I replied that, He is having lunch. Is it right or should i say He is eating. Please Reply me..

Regards, Basheer

Hi maam Ronnie Last night I saw the beauty Pageant here in my place… and some of the candidates introduced herself! and I have confused regarding their grammar: and my question is this? what is the correct grammar… HI, THIS IS MARRY CRUZ, REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY….It is correct maam… OR.. HI I AM MARRY CRUZ REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY.. Which one is the correct grammar maam.. 1.. or.. 2.

you don’t have a car.Is this a correct sentence?

Hi everyone…It is ok if I write: There did not use to be a newspaper store on Main Street. Thanks

Hi maam Ronnie Last night I saw the beauty Pageant here in my place… and some of the candidates introduced herself! and I have confused regarding their grammar: and my question is this? what is the correct grammar… HI, THIS IS MARRY CRUZ, REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY….It is correct maam… OR.. HI I AM MARRY CRUZ REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY.. Which one is the correct grammar maam.. 1.. or.. 2.

thankks so much Mam.Ronnie.I love engvid so much and all the teachers are great…nice lesson.

Hi! Thank you for your lesson! It’s really useful!=) But sometimes I see sentences like that: “I DO understand you” Should we use “DO” in this sentence? Thanks)

“Do” is only for emphasis!

Your style of teaching is very interesting I wish you good luck always

We are waiting for each lesson.

Thanks this words have been comfusing me but now I understand them after your lesson good job

Hi maam Ronnie Last night I saw the beauty Pageant here in my place… and some of the candidates introduced herself! and I have confused regarding their grammar: and my question is this? what is the correct grammar… HI, THIS IS MARRY CRUZ, REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY….It is correct maam… OR.. HI I AM MARRY CRUZ REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY.. Which one is the correct grammar maam.. 1.. or.. 2. Wednesday, September 7th 2011 Reply to this comment Hi maam Ronnie Last night I saw the beauty Pageant here in my place… and some of the candidates introduced herself! and I have confused regarding their grammar: and my question is this? what is the correct grammar… HI, THIS IS MARRY CRUZ, REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY….It is correct maam… OR.. HI I AM MARRY CRUZ REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY.. Which one is the correct grammar maam.. 1.. or.. 2.

Both are correct!

good…thanks teacher

please give me many example

I,we you,they-do(present tense),did(past tense). he,she it-does(present tense),did(past).Is it correct?? “he has done his homework” is this sentence correct? 1.”does she have an extra pen?”(or) “does she has an extra pen” 2.”yes she has” (or) “yes she is having” which is the correct one from above senteces correct? plzzz rply me.

I,we you,they-do(present tense),did(past tense). he,she it-does(present tense),did(past).Is it correct?? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “He has done his homework” is this sentence correct? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.”does she have an extra pen?” YES!!!!!(or) “does she has an extra pen” NO – you don’t need to change have because “does” is changed. 2.”yes she has” YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or) “yes she is having” NO – you cannot use “hav+ing”!

if we are saying anybody then what we can use DO or Does?? 1.”do anybody want to take responsibility” or 2.”does anybody want to take responsibility” or i think often we use “IS” like”is anybody interested in dancing” plzzz i’ll be thankfull to u if u clear my confusion with some examples. Hope u understand my question.

Does anybody is correct = “anybody” is singular! So…has anybody, does anybody, was anybody. “Is anybody” is correct!

With Noun do we use do or does for e.g. Anita do not know English or Anita does not know English. which one is correct

thanks alot Ms ..

I did that Quiz what you gave us !

thanks alot .. keept up !

Mrs. Ronnie , thank you so much :D

i want to ask.. based from your video i found that u used all the personal pronouns as the example.but where is “it”? i could not find it in your video. does it have different usage from the above stated? thank you

It = does/doesn’t. Did/didn’t!

i also would like to ask about is it correct if the questions= a) where does she go? or we can say where does she goes? however when i asked my friends most of them answered the answer is a. why?

You only have to change the auxiliary verb “do” to does, You do not have to change BOTH verbs (do and go)!

Ronnie,Thanks!! But I have a question,very very silly question for you:What differences between verb “to be”,which can be “do,does” and “am,is,are”???I know it sounds silly,but it my problem sometime…))

Your question is not silly! It is a very good question as many people are confused with to be and do! First of all do/does IS NOT part of “to be”! “To be” is only am, is, or are! Basically, if you have an adjective in the sentence, you are going to use “to be” Ex… I am tired. Tired is an adjective so you cannot say I do tired! I am hungry. She is thirsty. They are smart. “Do” is an action verb, and we use it with a noun- “I do my homework”. Homework is a noun. You cannot say I am homework!!! He does aerobics. She does the dishes, They do math.

Thanks,Ronnie!You open a great secret for me)))

Awesome!!! thanks alot!

Wonder which is a better line- “Do you want to grab dinner” or “Did you want to grab dinner”. What is the difference between the two sentences and what circumstances might be appropriate to use one or the other. Thoughts?

Did you is past tense, but we use this sometimes in informal conversation! Do you is present tense and “proper grammar” if you are asking the person at the moment!

U’re doing a great work to not-english- spoke people (like me). Ur lesson is very good and basic but I have some trouble in listening can’t, didn’t and some negative words ’cause when foreigners say, they always swallow it and make me misunderstand.Please, help me. I hope that there aren’t too much grammar mistake in my message. Thank u for ur all ur help.

thank you very much!! this can help me to improve my remarks this Final Exam!! =))

thanks for the replied! i though u would never respond to my question since i was miles away. thanks for the clearance. it do help me a lot teacher

I know english very well but I hav lack of confidence onmyself to speak fluent english. Your lessons ll help me to improve myself. Thanks

Helo Madam Ronnie I have learnt alot by your teaching. Madam I am a new one learner and want to know alot about english grammer and vacablary but there are are no more lesson regarding which can cover all the aspect of grammer or vacablory. Kindly interduce / deliever some more lessons please

thanks for the info..really helpful

HI RONNIE YOU DID GOOD JOBU I LIKE IT

Hi can you tell me what is correct: “i didnt knew” or “i didnt know”. Thnx xxx

I didn’t know. When we use “did”, we don’t need to change the other words to past tense – only one!!

Where is the subject “it” in this video? otherwise its fine. Why have you dropped down the subject ‘It’?

hi thanks for teaching it is very useful.can you tell us what is adverb?

An adverb describes how the verb is done. Ex. He ran slowly. Slowly=adverb, telling us how he ran.

really styl well

Can you please help me with this: What is the verb in “What does her mother do on Tuesday?” And please explain or elaborate. Thank you.

Does and do are verbs

hi thanks for teaching.can you tell use about comparative and superlative,please?

idonét now when we use do and did

Do= present tense Did= past tense

grateful ::))

thank you very much its good for me i am 13 years old

what about CAN???? Will you always have a DO after a CAN???? As in “No can do!!!” Just joking. But you get what a mean! Awesome stuff.

Why do we use for third person the verb likes but when we use did we don’t. ie. He likes vs he didn’t like instead of he didn’t likes.

When we use the auxiliary verb “did”, we don’t need to change the other verb!

thank you Ronni i understand to your lisson.

Hi Ronnie, I have come accross this site trying to find help for my son (grade 3) with his English. He often makes mistakes with the use of “done” and I don’t know how to explain to him the correct usage, I can only tell him when it sounds wrong. Can you simplify when it is correct to use the word done as in, I did, I have done? The other day I done, I did?

Done we use with present/past perfect, or as an adjective “I am done”. You cannot use done in simple past.

Thank you for all Ronni. i like your lessons

thank you for the lesson. I did learn a lot from your lessons.

Thanks for your work, Im very happy with this lessons!!!

Can you recommed exercises?

Hello Ronnie, your kind to teach is very funny and the lesson are interesting and helpfull for me. I hope you and your colleague try to make a lot more lessons.

Is that Gandalf or the white wizard? I think Sarumon is his name, right? Just to say because that’s what our lesson in L.A. ^_^

oh it’s SARUMAN.

Thank you.Your lessons so helpful and simple to understand.I will recommend this site to my friends.

Thank so much!!! Ronnie.

a: He goes to school. Doesn’t it? b:Yes, He does.

Are two upper sentences correct? I request Guide me. Yours Faithfully Mojtaba

He goes to school. Doesn’t he ?

hi Ronnie..I wanna know what’s the difference between I and I am..sometimes i confuse how to use this two..thanks!!

Use “i am + adjective. Ex… I am hungry/tired/happy. Use I + verb. Ex.. I go/eat/play/have/want.

Awesome video!!! Very simple and comprehensive! I am only 2 months here in Canada and starting to speak English. Thanks a lot!!! Canadians are so kind and friendly. I love Canada!!!

I you find any mistakes on my grammar, just correct it and I’m glad to know it! thanks!

If I use “didn’t”, Do I need to change the verb that follows? For example, I didn’t make that or I didn’t MADE that? :)

If I use “didn’t”, Do I need to change the verb that follows? NO ! I didn’t make that = correct!!!

In the example “Does she have”, we have to change only the aux. verb do to reflect the noun…..We don’t have to change any other verb….We don’t say “Does she has”….. I don’t know WHY – I have no idea why we have ALL they grammar rules that we do – they don’t make sense to me!!

thanks for your lessons, I would like to ask you 2 questions. First I’m confused how to use the verb (Had) Ex, in one sentence you can se had had. I had had a big car, another question is the verb, (being) when can i use being, Ex, if i say , being a bad person is not good, its right, thanks for your help

Had had is past perfect form. (had + p.p) Ex. I had had a dog but it died.I had eaten the apple. Being we use in continuous forms of grammar. Ex. She is being funny, = She to be funny.

very informative and helpful . thanks and rgds

Oh my god, the technique you use to teach is really wonderful………. Same way i would like to see any video like how to spell a word. ie Writing correct spelling.

Check on the website for “spelling” videos – there should be some videos for you!

hi Ronnie . you are vary good a Techer you don’t write Example (don’t forget)

MERCI … ..

you don’t write Example (don’t forget) Okey

You don’t write example Remember Okay !!! (^_^)

Mónica doesn´t talk to me or Monica won´t talk to me?

thank you very much,i find this lesson so helpful,,a have learned a lot from you all teacher..i have felt something my english improving..

what to use after the name of the one or two person, is it do or doesnt?

Leila and Aisha (don’t play/ does’t play) volleyball.

He, she,(one person), it =does, doesn’t I, they, we (two people)= do, don’t.

Hi! thank you for your effective teaching. I just have a simple question. If the subject is the name of two person, what do we use is it do or does? Ex. Leila and Aisha (don’t play/doesn’t) play vaolleyball.

If it is 2 people, we use “don’t”!!! Great question! Good luck!

is it aproppriate to use DOESNT’T on WE, THEY, I, AND YOU?

Thank you Ronnie for your effective teaching and explaination about Do and Does,lessons are interesting and helpfull for everyone.

well.. nice thanks good job..

thank you for leessen

Thanks a lot Ronnie for the lesson.

My question is, “When to use did vs. done?”

Did = simple past verb. I did the dishes. Done = past participle. I have done the dishes.

helo mam… i’m very much bothered abt the usage of DID DO DOES in the framing of sentences… i would be very glad, if u could let me come out of my problem.

it’s my great plesure.. if u suggest me some interesting novels comprising simple english.

I would recommend Children’s books or teen novels. Most novels would be way to difficult to read!

helo mam, thanx alot fr ur valuable guidance but i’ll be very glad if u plzzzz let me knw the names of novels comprising simple & basic english … moreover it’d be better if u sugest me some of the interesting novels. plzzz do the needful mam..:-)

good leson but what about the regular verbs and irregular verbs after Do, Did?

You are correct!

I like this website. its very good site for learning english.

Can i say like this,

did you want the calculation part? is it correct english

I don’t know the context of your sentence. I think we would say “Do you want the total?”

did is…or did was… ? what i did is/was right???

plz explain this sentence. it does not have a sink. is there always use of have with does

Does refers to “it”. The bathroom (it) does not have a sink. = There is no sink in the bathroom.

I Like you. Dear

Ronnie is Amazing Teacher.

ex; where did you go yesterday? or where you went yesterday? are they correct? can I use both of them?please reply.

Was/were + adjective. Were you tired? Did/does + verb. Did you like it?

hi ronnie what about the pronoun “it” can we say it doesn’t §

. thank you for everything you are very expressive .. but am interested in the future time of the verb do! thank you

Thank you ronnie so mutch I am happy .you are extremly halpful. see you later

Ronnie.. Your lessons are very useful. especially your expressions are awesome, I can involve myself in the lesson. Thank you so much, and thanks EngVid.

Ronnie.. Can you suggest me a Basic grammar book. and tell me, How can I overcome my spelling mistakes. Thank you.

I suggest you get a children’s spelling book = online. Sorry, I can’t recommend a grammar book without knowing your English level — are you a beginner??

hi ronni, u r lessons were awesome. i want to know the perfect self introduction with the example, could u help me with that.. thanks

Hi! My name is ___________. Nice to meet you!

its really good. i love english

Hello Ronnie! I have one question on Present Simple. What form in do we use verb start in the sentence: “At 2 o’clock lessons____again.” With ‘s’ or witout ending? I’m looking forward for your reply. Thanks!

Because the word “lesson” is plural, you don’t need to use “s”. If the word lesson was singular, you need the “S”.

Hi! Ms Ronnie I’d like to know if “It” is a “Pronoun” too, because i think you forgot it to put there. Thanks!

Yes, it is a pronoun. You are right – I did forget it! With it we use does!!!

i like your teaching ms ronnie but i would like to learn more about the pronounsiations of diffiicult words

Thanks for your useful teaching video. I like the way you teach and your great voice.Keep on the good work. and kindly keep up u r teach on engvid page and thanks a lot miss ronnie

you with did or no??

Yes! You + did!

First i wanna say thank you, its really a very good videos and its really helpful!!

Second, i have two questions: 1. In this video you didn’t notice to “it” and “we”.. it would make me feel better if you will explain how do we reffer to them. 2 And the other questions is – can i write a sentence like that ” i’m not going” or “she’s not leaving” ? becouse i saw another video that didn’t mention that way – and its got me confused.. you were talking about onlu “he isn’t” and not “he’s not”

the question is they both are ok?

It + does We + do. You can use both he isn’t and he’s not ! I’m not going” and “She’s not leaving” = both correct!

HELP! Which one is correct? 1. What “do” she and her family do on the weekend? 2. What “does” she and her family do on the weekend?

1. She and her family = they!!!

its my 1st day to watch your lessons hope it will be help full to improve my speaking as well listning thanks

miss ronie i have a problem with in speaking i always learning about english vecabulary but most of the time cant use during my speaking how can i manage this problem?

Search “conversation” on the site- there are lessons to help you!

thank you so much miss.Ronnie i learned a lot.

Ronnie your the best teacher ever… can i request? i want to know many idiomatic expressions and their meanings… more power to you =)thank you =)

This car doesn’t go fast . Explaine me why doesn’t

This car = singular thing (it).

Also when I have to use ” done” ?

Done is the past participle of do. We use with passive, present perfect and past perfect!

someone can teach me how to use a right pronounsation??

Ronnie do you have a lesson with using a questions like : Do you …..? Does he …?does she…?

I don’t but search the website!

hi, ms ronnie. I have a question, when we can use : “Are and do” in a question ?

Are + adjectives. Are you hungry? Do + verb. Do you like pizza?

but how about in a profession, why in “profession” have to uses are, e.g . are you a nurse ?

Profession we use to be. I am a nurse. ( I to be a nurse) You cannot say I nurse , as nurse in this case is a verb.

nice presentation, i have one doubt. In presentense ” it + does & doesn’t ” ok . so past tense how it would be come inti picture ? i am eager to wait for ypur reply.

It did/didn’t!

Hi ronnie, i want to know about the use of did, do and does..please suggest me i want 2 learn that deeply..please suggest me

Hi Ronnie Help me with this sentence here “we are talking about the things that DON’T matter” why don’t is used here when “things” is/are and it.So,if am right there should be DOESN’T here insted of DON’T ?

Things = plural therefore are and don’t .

is/are a IT(non-living).

really thanks and very beautiful lesson.

Thank you :D

What’s the use of do do expression in english language…? reply…

Doo doo = poo.

You like him, don’t you? Here is the reason: http://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-tag-questions/

Hi Ronnie, I m from Pakistan and I love to listen your lectures. You r one of the good teacher I ever have seen in my life. I want to get DVD’s of your lectures, Plz tell me How can I get it?

yours truly,

Thanks Ronnie, you help me a lot

Hello Ronnie, I wanted to know that when do we use “does not” and when do we use “doesn’t” and also reason behind that and also about other such words for example:”have not,haven’t”,”did not,didn’t” and etc etc. I also wanted to know meanings of words such as “preety” much impossible..I’l “figure it out” and other such words used in english conversation. I hope that you’ll do lessons for me on these topics.. And I also hope that you’ll reply me as soon as possible..

Doesn’t = does ….they are the same. As well, haven’t ”have not,haven’t”,”did not,didn’t”. The only difference is that we use the shortened more and save the longer ones (have not) to make our point stronger. Preety is not a word. Pretty??? Pretty means beautiful and very.

hi,miss i don’t understand the use of do,does and doesn’t. what will come with ‘it’do or does.plz explain.thanx

thank so much i like this lesson and it is very nice lesson and helping me alot

I’m so poor in grammar . Why he didn’t text me or Why didn’t he text me . which one is correct ?

i always got a perfect score on your quiz but why is that im struggling to speak my English up?

congretulations ,I love your explain :) Do you are a english teacher?

Ohh.. Thanks for replying.. 1 more thing I wanted to know. We drink water from a bottle in two ways, 1.Without touching mouth as in holding it upwards and drinking. 2.By touching lips n mouth to bottle and drinking just like small children’s do. what can we say to tell a person that we have touched our mouth??? I hope u understood my question as I’m not able to explain it properly..

I am not too sure what you mean but…. babies suck on a bottle. If i drink from a bottle I put my lips on it – we don’t have a special word for this! To tell someone, I would just say my lips touched the bottle.

Very friendly explanation rather than Inglo-link.:)

May I know the difference between INTO & ONTO?

Into = inside Onto = on top

Can u explain the difference in use between do and did? For example “I don’t have friends” vs “I didn’t have friends”. Tx

Do = present tense Did = past tense. Watch the video again!

Yes you understood.. Thanks..

Hi Ronnie, I must tell you that I fine tuned my English fundamentals through your videos. It would be great if you can share a video on Will/Would/can/Could with have and haven’ts. Please

Search the site for “Will/Would/can/Could” there are lessons there for you!

“What does he do in the afternoon?” It is right?..Why do I have to use “do” in this question, I am really confuse. Can you explain this to me? Thanks!

If you just say what does he in the afternoon – it makes no sense! What does he eat/drink/say in the afternoon – you need a verb in the sentence!

Hi,can i use didn’t saw in a sentence or didn’t see is the correct one?

Didn’t see. Didn’t is past tense so you don’t need 2 past tense verbs!!!

thank you so much Ronnie thank you kindly you are good teacher your studint in kurdistan

Dear Ronnie,

Per you, Answer for the below quiz is “doesn’t”.. I wonder that why can’t we use “does” too?

She ________ like him, because he is very mean to her. do does doesn’t

Why would you like someone if they are very mean to you??

I just want to ask if this sentence is grammatically wrong.>>>> (I didn’t want to ask.)<<<< Is it grammatically correct? Why or why isn't it right?Thanks and more power to your site^^

Yes, your sentence is correct!

very good job Ronnie…..but i want more lesson plz

Do you remember.

hi i have got a qestion to you.could you tape a lesson about how to find out with tence it is.please answer me as soon as posible . i hope u understand:) apinaya

Search the site for “tenses”.

thanks alot i have a question.whn do e use WOULD? thanks in advance

Search the site for “Would”.

Hello! Teacher Ronnie. I’m from Brazil. I would like know about the between differences “like and as” in other words, when can I to use like and as, ie, which situations? thank you so much and congratulations for the lessons!!

LIKE The structure of the sentence is usually: VERB + LIKE + NOUN / PRONOUN. He speaks like a native speaker. She looks like a supermodel. AS The structure of the sentence is usually: AS + SUBJECT + VERB. Nobody sings as she does. They went to the party as they were. It is very common in American English to use LIKE instead of AS. However, it is generally considered informal to use it in this way.

We play football like champions do.

hi mam ronie i want to ask about somehow,anyhow,weither,either, how to use them in a conversation? hope you can help me thanks.

Look the words up in a dictionary…there will be example sentences for you there!

Hello,madam ronnie.

I have one question here. I saw the one shampoo product,the information wrote is “Did you know?Damaged hair is more prone to falling.” why is did but not do?i’m very confused about it.Hope you can help,thank you:)

You are correct……it should be “Do you know”!

Hi Teacher Ronnie, it’s me again! I have one more a question. Ok! The word “HOW” can I to use only at the beginning of sentences?

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Yes, most times we use it at the beginning. How are you? How is your mom? How is the steak? How do I get there? It is the same as the other wh questions = who what when where why + how!

I am fairly impressed with this site, and im glad i found it. I am currently living in Peru and am trying to teach kids some basic English, and one student asked me to talk about did and that, so this is great. Also, and just curious why was “it” excluded, like it did or it didn’t?

I am allergic to “it”! Ahahah just kidding… I forgot “it”!

thank you very much teacher Ronnie Do you is BRILLIANT!!

I like the way you are teaching and it is really help me to improve. Could you please provide me the difference between present/past & future with examples. I would really appreciate if you can reply me. thanks

Thank you …

/Does/always must be use He and She?

Yes, in the present tense.

Hi teacher! I just learn English grammar in Cambodia, but I don’t understand how to use HAVE and GET. I hearing you.God bless.

I want to clarify , if i want to say.. that place doesn’t have a soul or crowd attraction. Is that correct? I am confused for the usage of Doesn’t have.

And usage of did ..like.. he didn’t do this correctly. eg. with did we use.. present tense…

Thank you …

Hi Ronnie you are a good teacher however i am confused with this sentence.( what does he do in the afternoon ) please explain the use of do does and did with it and which form of verb should be there ….also want to check with you do we use does with singular and do with plurals.

what will we use with (IT)

if i didn’t know that ben doesn’t /don’t like vanilla cakes ???? answer

thank you so much ronnie.. :):)

Which one of the following sentences is correct? 1) Do John and Sally want to go? 2) Does John and sally want to go?

What do you think is correct?

I think ‘Do’ because John and sally are more than one person. Am I right ma’am?

I think correct is #1

I miss word “IT” in the video. There is used “does”.

Where should we use done in a sentences.

hi teacher .. I want ask for you what is difference between (wh + be and wh + do) When we use( verb to be .verb to do ) with the question . thanks for you

Be + adjective/noun. Where is he? Are you hungry? Do + verb. What does he like? Who does she like?

In understanding test, one of the question I choose ‘does’ and the answer is wrong and the right answer is stated below:

She doesn’t like him, because he is very mean to her.

I confused because it seem have a contradiction. Someone does not like somebody because it very mean? Perhaps you can explain more.

Mean = not nice. If someone is mean to you, they are not nice to you so you don’t like that person!

I’d like to ask about “Do & Does”. How to use “Do & Does” with subject OUR？ Thanks

With (our) you must use a noun, so it will depend if the noun is singular or plural! Singular noun use does. Our brother does his homework. Plural noun use do. Our parents do the taxes.

Thanks for reply

If asking a question? For example, How does/do our service? Use DO or Does?

i’m confused with this form “let god do the rest” i’m often hear this one. my question is why “God” use “do” why not use “does”? looking forward for your answer :)

Dear professor: I want to know when we must use the auxiliary do-does in the interrogative form, with the verbs to have and toe.

We use do/does with a regular verb. Do you like pizza? Does he have a job?

With a modal verb or to be verb, we do not use do/does! Are you sick? Is he funny? Should we go now?

I want to know what can we use with the subjective IT, DO/ Does, Because some teachers teach” we use does with 3rd person singular means he, she, it and any single noun.. Please strive to reform me..

This question will help lots of people. Is it a rule not to use plural after DO/DOES/DID? Example: He doesn’t LIKE. They don’t LIKE. He knows -> He doesn’t KNOW.

Thank you very much. Its really helpful.

i have some sentences which is always make me confused. here they are

1. let GOD DO the rest 2.i’m looking in the mirror all the time. wondering what SHE DON’Tsee me

look at the capslock pieces of the sentences. they both use “do” for the subjects “god” and “she”.

i know those sentences right because i found them from english-native but i don’t know what makes them right. i wish you read this comment Ronnie and get to answer my question. lots of thanks our beloved teacher :)

hello teacher! are(do, does, did)auxilary verbs? if not, what are they?

I was told it’s not correct to say “i think he’s not a good man” is it true? and i was suggested to say “i don’t think he’s a good man”! any one can tell me? thank in advance!!!!

just trying to help. i think both of them are right. the different is the meaning of each sentences

i made a wrong statement, those sentences have a like meaning

thanks, this really helped a lot. :)

Why we want to use “Does” ans “Do”?

hai mem am very much thank full to u r english class which u said am daily listener of u r english videos

It does/doesn’t You does/doesn’t

i like the way of the teaching

i like your teaching it’s fantastic

i like this way

Amazing lesson .. I had some issues about that but now its fine.. Many thanks..

Amazing lesson but i have one doubt about that yet .. What can i use about personal names? Examples: Carlos will does your homework or Carlos will do your homework? Melinda doesnt like him or Melinda dont like him?

Thanks in advance..

Carlos and Melinda = he and she! So, you would use Carlos will do (you always use a base verb after will), and Melinda doesn’t like!

its so easy

Which is correct?

What does David and a football have in common?

What do David and a football have in common?

You have to say I played tennis. You can say I didn’t play tennis!

Could you please help me to explain when to use “Was” or “did” please

Was + adjective. I was hungry. Did + noun. I did my homework.

Hi there! i have a doubt about the proper uses for Do/Does. When we have a common sentence such as : “mike runs every morning” and we use it to make it a question, the subject (mike) shall be deleted form the question? e.g He run every morning? Or can we write: “Mike does run in the morning? I’m from Mexico by the way. Thanks for your help guys!

The question form is “Does Mike (or he) run in the morning? Do/does + subject + base verb!

Thanks i like very much ,i have some debut in have/has how to use?

http://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-have-has-had/

i would say this is a very goog programme keep it up and your best to society by the way good luck

If so, is there a way to send it to you through your email add? Please let me know. I really appreciate your kindness. Have a good one.

plz learn me… em too weak in english

my parents does not allow party is correct or my parents dont allow party which is correct mam plz tell

My parents are plural so you have to use do not! My parents do not allow SUBJECT to have a party. OR My parents do not allow subject to party.

Good morning to all of you. I have some confusions with DO NOT and NOT TO. I do not know when I have to use DO NOT and when I have to use NOT TO

Do not + verb. Do not go. Do not see.These are commands. I was told not to go…she said not to eat. We use these in reported speech.

THANK YOU ON HELP ME

do not look. and do not see

are they both correct?

Hi. I just want to ask if this sentence is correct, “Upon triggering the switch, magnetic contactor did not activate.”

“ the magnetic contactor” sounds better, I think.

if the subject is ‘You’ then what will come for negative past tense…..

do you say: she doesn´t love Peter or She doesn´t loves Peter

She doesn’t love Peter. (don’t change the verb)

why is “I told her not to drive” insted of “I told her don´t drive”

Told makes it reported speech. So….don’t+ base verb, changes to NOT TO + base verb!

hello Ronnie!am PEDRO learning in jewish family School,at Buffalo NEW YORK.you taucht about of do,does don’t doesn’t,u just used i,you ,he, she, they ,we. now about (it ?)i need your reply

Hi Ronnie, Thnak you very much for giving us very valuble knowlege nad they way of teaching is excellant. Second thing I would like know about should, could, would words uses in sentenses.

Ronnie you are the best teacher ever. I’m from Guatemala from the Castillo family the family of the Cerveceria de Guatemala look it in google hahaha sorry thanks !!!!

I like your way of teaching

my friend sad “He do that sometimes”

is this correct ??

No! He DOES that sometimes is correct! Now, you can correct your friend!

Thank you so much

I can’t understand when DO uses in positive sentenses like “He does need help” instead “He needs help”. What is the difference?

“He needs help” is a regular sentence. “He does need help” we use to emphasize (make stronger/clearer) the fact. We can use it if the listener did not understand the answer. Ex…. A)Does he need help? B)Yes, he needs help. A)What? I didn’t hear you. B)I said, He DOES need help!

mam, you explain all about it. but can you write the script what you said? because my lecture said that, i must write what you said. could you help me? please write some sentences for me..

Hi Ronnie, I stumble across this question in my child English exam paper below.

Did you see the suspect stab/ stabbed the victim.

I know we need to use present tense after did, so see is correct but what about the word stab. does it need to be present tense as well ?

I speak English – I speak English well and so on.. I would like to know the minimum requirements. Thanks in anticipation.

Ok. It was a nice lession. One question left. Do I say: The film don’t start at 7. Or the film doesn’t start at 7. Or do I say: Does the school start a quater past eight? Or Do the school start a quater past eight?

That was a good lesson, thanks.

Hi ms. Ronnie, I just had an interview last week and I was referred by a friend that works inside that company. Here’s my question, the HR asked me this “did he know that you’re here?” (referring to my friend). I answered her “No, he didn’t know.” did i answered it right? or should i say, “he doesn’t know.” thank you.

I don’t understand. Did use only negative and question??? may i use that: I did play the guitar.

hey i got 100 % thanx

Last Monday I started FCE Course here in Pordenone, in Italy. Today were the second lesson and we did some exercises with “do” and “does”… now I’m going to study this verb… because this is very important… We didn’t can use vocabulary, we didn’t can write with reading words, we must remember all the words we have seen or have heard during the oral exercise or during the lesson. It’s very hard for me… Thaks Mrs Ronnie, for this lesson it’s very useful.

How about the questions?

yes, I very happy becouse I got 100%. Thank a lot Teacher Ronnie. And I will practice, For I will not forget.

Thank you Ronnie you’re the best!

God bless you

waau! I am so proud.

HI, Ma’am Ronnie, May I ask if it’s sentence right,.. Ms. Reyes has arrived with bag.

may we have a in past lessons

Hi Ronnie! Here’s one very interesting question I guess! But I really need you to answer me, please!!!!! I noticed that Americans use “don’t” with it and he very often!!! in spoken English, even in the songs! For example: … and even forever don’t seem like long enough … or he don’t know what to do!!! Thus the question is: how often do you use it in your life and maybe you have some kinda rules in your spoken language when you can use it or not? Or maybe it just happens automatically when somebody speak and doesn’t depend on any “spoken rules”. Thank you and I’m very looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards!

I passed the exam.

Thank you Ronnie.

I’m Brazilian..thanks Ronnie for the class. God bless u

thank you maam… ahm, may i ask something maam? if i will use IT and im refering IT to a thing. then, can i say such like this? IT does/doesn’t?

Ah i got it perfect hehe thanks btw :)

THANKS A LOT

My father don’t know how to cut hairs. My father doesn’t know how to cut hairs.

Which is the correct sentence.

Can you tell me Ronne Please.

Thank you for the lessons. I have doubt She does have a car. she has a car . which one is correct ?

Thank you Mam Ronnie.

Mr. Rajkumar, “don’t” and “doesn’t are both negative in the sentence. The difference is the first sentence is first person singular, and second is third person singular.

Harsha, both sentence are correct. “Has” is the third person singular of the present tense “have”. In the first sentence “does have” means you want to emphasize something.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Hi Ronnie, Could you please explain the Question Form for “Do” Verb? it will be very helpful :)

Good lesson!

I like this lesson. Do you have other videos about grammar? I don’t understend english, but this lesson was easy to me. I got 4/4 correct questions on the Quiz. Thanks, Ronnie!

Hello, Ronnie. I have a question about using pronouns. I can’t understand why sometimes we can skip it? And where we can, where we can’t? I mean about… well. As I know, I don’t have to say “I DO read a book”. But sometimes I loose this pronoun when I have to say it. And it’s the problem… Thank you:)

Hi Ronnie, Thanks for the lesson. It does help a lot. I have one query. Requesting you to address the same. If I make OUR as the subject of a sentence. Which auxiliary verb should I use?

He _____ his homework yet

• hasn't finished
• didn't finish

In colloquial English, I don't think #2 is wrong. Suppose one asked the question: "Did John finish his homework yet?" An appropriate answer might be, "No, he didn't finish his homework yet." Perhaps a purist might say that the word "yet" precludes option 2, but I think this is a little too "pure" for most native speakers.

Number 2 sounds bad to me, for the reasons Trisia stated. Perhaps I'm in the minority of AE speakers, but I never say "did . . . yet?" or "didn't . . . yet."

anothersmith and Dimcl, So, you've never said to anyone, "Didn't you eat yet?"* I'm surprised. In my neck of the woods, it would sound pompous to say, "Haven't you eaten yet?" to family members, for example. *And "Did you eat yet?" (which sounds like "Jeet yet?") is the pure Pittsburghese that I learned in the cradle!

Dimcl said: No, absolutely not, Joelline. In fact, I've heard it when in the U.S. and cringe every time (Waitress: "Did you know what you want to eat?" ). Nothing personal, but.... arrgghh! Click to expand...

Thank you all So... if I want to use "yet" in my sentence, then I have to use past perfect. I have only one problem (which is only mine). I thought that present perfect is for something that happened in the past and I don't care when exactly it happened (for example, I've eaten in this restaurant before). But I guess I'm wrong (according to Trisia's explanation) and I will read about it later. Thank you.

• Something that hasn't happened yet = the kids finished eating
• something that still goes on = they're still not finished with their meal.

sound shift

Perhaps the source that says option no. 2 is wrong is British. "He didn't finish his homework yet" is not BE, though it may become standard before long through the copying of US practice.
