Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco and 25 de Abril Bridge, Lisbon, Portugal look alike. We visited the geothermal features like hot springs, mud volcanoes and geysers in Yellowstone National Park last summer. Old Faithful Geyser is the world’s best known geyser. It erupts faithfully at regular intervals. The “Grand Canyon” of the Yellowstone looks like the Grand Canyon in Arizona, but it is not as big as the Arizona Canyon.

@Englishwithjennifer 5 жыл бұрын

Those are good word to contrast. prolong = lengthen the time elongate = physically make longer lengthen = literally (lengthen a strap) or in an abstract sense (lengthen the school year) drag out = make an event last longer than necessary or what is desired enlarge = make physically bigger (enlarge an image) expand = make bigger, and offer broader (often figuratively >> expand one's business, expand one's mind) extend = make longer in time or length as needed (extend your arm, extend the work day)

Hi Jennifer,Thank you so much for your classes. I have a question: what is the difference between (concerned with) and (concerned about)? Thank you and Kind regards.

@Englishwithjennifer 6 жыл бұрын

If you're concerned about something or someone, then you worry about this. For example, I can concerned about rising crime in my country. This means crime worries me. If you concern yourself with something, then you take an interest in that matter. You'll see examples of "concerned with" in the news or in business. It's about naming issues or aspects of issues that are important. Example: "We are not focusing on the Cambridge Analytica issue, we're concerned with the consumer protection aspect of it." ctmirror.org/2018/04/08/jepsen-wants-answers-facebook/

Hello. I understand the challenges a person faces when they have ADD/ADHD. Thankfully, there's more awareness today than there was in the past, so more children are getting support in schools. Having good study habits and good conditions is important for everyone, but especially those with attention issues (children and adults alike). Don't create long study sessions. Take breaks and remove distractions from around you when you sit back down to study. (Sit, lie down, whatever position works for you.) You can use any of my playlists that interest you. englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/ If it's a long video, you can break it in half, but try to watch it all in one day. Post questions when you have them. Review by watching a lesson for a second time. Include some "fun" practice, like listening to songs or short stories. It's okay if you're not always fully focused on the words. Just hearing the English as you do some other task like driving, walking, cleaning, etc. is a good thing. Good luck!

Thanks , you helped me a lot / but I have a topic I have been looking up for a week , but I still got incomplete answers . I hope you can make a KZfaq video or just response me right here . The question is / can (Kind of ) be followed by a plural noun ? Can (kinds of ) be followed by a singular nouns ? So it’s confusing me , whether can I use the singular with singular or plural with plural or the vice verse?

@Englishwithjennifer 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, if you're using KIND to refer to a whole group and a specific type. For example, I like the kind of people who ask questions in order to learn. Here's a resource to help you with such questions. ludwig.guru/s/the+kind+of+people You can ask me other questions on Hallo during a live stream. hallo.tv/

How if there is no VERB before LIKE?

@Englishwithjennifer 4 жыл бұрын

We can use "like" to mean "such as." Again, if a noun or gerund follows, then it's functioning as a preposition. Even if you're stuck at home, there are many ways to stay active, like doing yoga or riding an exercise bike. Everyone should cut down on unhealthy foods like potato chips and processed meats.

Hey , teacher , please could I say , I like my mother and my father alike .

@Englishwithjennifer 6 жыл бұрын

Try to avoid using similar sounding words that could cause confusion. I'd suggest changing "like" to "love." Also, "alike" for emphasis isn't so common in everyday, informal conversation. It would be more common to use "both" >> I love both my mother and my father.

With its long, white fur and a face... a red mask, the whute uakari is a unique primate, protected as an endangered species In South America A. alike B. to like C. like D. is like I think the answer is c but i am not sure about it, can you explain the answer?

@Englishwithjennifer 5 жыл бұрын

Correct variations: It has a face like a red mask. It has a face that is like a red mask. (only as a full adjective clause) These sentences mean the same thing. They make comparisons.

Good examples. Yes, "like" is also a verb. It's a common use and most learners master this early in their studies. I wanted to focus more on "like" as a preposition.

Once my cousin told me that I was very much alike to the actress Cybill Sheperd. I have thought that the actress and I alike have similar face features, but she is blond and taller than me. I would prefer to be tall like her.Nevertheless, I replied to my cousin like she had reason.

@Englishwithjennifer 6 жыл бұрын

That's a flattering comparison. Cybill Sheperd is a talented actress and singer. She had a career as a model, as I recall. She's beautiful. Good: "tall like her." Suggestions: Cybill and I have similar facial features. / I don't think I look like Cybill, but I replied as if I agreed that I did. OR I don't agree that I look like Cybill, but I acted like I did.
