About this episode

Every week I look forward to doing a live English lesson outside. This week though the weather is a little iffy.  Iffy means that the weather at this time of year is unpredictable. That means I won't know until just before the lesson whether it is nice enough outside to do the lesson under my tree or if I'll need to be inside.

Either way, there is going to be an English lesson!  This is a great time to submit a question about the English language and I will do my best to answer it. As a native English speaker I always enjoy the questions that everyone asks during these sessions. It helps me remember that English is very intricate. It is a complicated and beautiful language. Some parts of it are easy to learn and some parts are a mystery!

Often even I'm surprised at how complex the English language can be, and I imagine for an English student this comes as no surprise. I promise to do my best to answer your questions in a clear and concise way to help you continue to make progress as you learn English.

I hope you enjoy this English question and answer lesson!

This English lesson is from October 23 2021.
