Lesson 19: Question Tags

Lesson 16: Prefixes and Suffixes

Hi guys! First of all, happy new year for every each one of you! I wanna give a little present for all of you, so here you go a new lesson of English Grammar.  

Prefix
A prefix is a group of letters placed before the root of a word. For example, the word "unhappy" consists of the prefix "un-" [which means "not"] combined with the root (stem) word "happy"; the word "unhappy" means "not happy."

Suffix
A suffix is a group of letters placed after the root of a word. For example, the word flavorless consists of the root word "flavor" combined with the suffix "-less" [which means "without"]; the word "flavorless" means "having no flavor."

 

Later on you will have exercises to practise this lesson. Hope you like it!

Lesson 10: Reported Speech (Video Explanation)

Hey guys, I found a good video which explain the reported speech clearly and with many examples. I leave you this video here just to support what I explained in the last post.

In the next post, you will have an exercise to improve your reported speech grammar. Wait for it guys!

Lesson 10: Reported Speech

Hi guys. Welcome back. Today we're going to do a lesson ussing the reported speech (also called "indirect speech"). What does this mean? Well, this is when we are relating something that someone said. I'm going to talk you through the differences between reported speech (or indirect speech) and direct speech.

So, the blonde girl is in love >  She said, "I love Chris".

Now, if I'm using direct speech, that's where I use the quotation marks, as you can see. But If I use reported speech, I don't use her exact words and I don't use the quotation marks.

So, blonde girl's friend would say > You (refered to the blonde girl) said that you loved Chris.

I'll give you a chart with words and verbs that changue depend on if you use direct speech or reported speech.

That's all for today, see you in another lesson guys!
