Hello lovely students! 2 important reminders today: 1. Consider turning captions OFF to avoid ruining the quiz! (It's a spelling test, so the captions will reveal the answers!) 2. Download the PDF for this lesson here 👉🏼 ewl.info/spelling-tips (it's a good one! Lots and lots of extra examples and exceptions!)

If a word contains an even number of letters, an odd number of vowels, and a prime number of consonants, then its plural must be formed by reversing the penultimate letter, and then adding a double 's' at the end. 😂😁

I think the suffix 'y' is also a consonant or can be said to be started with a constant then it is also a exception if you pay attention

Dear lovely Lucy, while watching this video I realised you said "dedicate a little bit of time TO LEARNING". Instead, in that sentence I thought it was right to say "dedicate a little bit of time TO LEARN". Please help me by teaching in a new video why is it right to use "to learning" in that sentence instead of "to learn" also please mention examples for both in different sentences so we all may understand when to use each term in a sentence. Many thanks, I love your work and your willingness to help everyone to learn English. Gracias & ❤. Not sure if you’ve already explained this topic in other video. 😉

Hello, Ma'am, the episode was super-interesting! Thanks! I was just wondering : what do you think about the spelling and pronunciation of the word "hygiene"?

@EnglishwithVahid1 24 күн бұрын

The word "hygiene" is spelled as H-Y-G-I-E-N-E. Each letter represents a sound in the word. When you say "hygiene," you can pronounce it as "HI-jeen" or "HI-juhn." The stress is on the first syllable, "HI."
