@@CrownAcademyEnglish you are welcome,I am self-taught, I have been studying English since 2000. Your video lessons are very informative to me (for me? I never will learn!) 🤨
Your response is perfect English. No mistakes at all. You have correctly spelled and used "self-taught", and correctly used the present perfect continuous + since. "Very informative *to* me" is also correct. Well done. You have really made very good progress. 🙂👍 Andrew
Sir In the event of an acceptance for honour What's the meaning of "for"?

Your all videos are really helpful for me. Sir ... I have a question.Have you done the grammar topic ("that")?.
Thanks for your comment. I am happy that you like my English lessons. I have a video explaining "this", "that", "these" and "those" (demonstratives) - Here is the link: kzhead.info/sun/haiPo7WPgX6io4U/bejne.html Best wishes
@@CrownAcademyEnglish Thank you so much sir. But I mean we can use 'that' is a connector. Like this 'and', 'if', ... etc. If you don't mind, could you please do it?
Do you understand my text msg? I'm not fluent in English 🥲. But i will try to improve myself
hello Mr Andrew I have a query regarding these type of sentences how long have you been thinking about doing this? or how long has David been thinking about quitting his job? i learned in your present simple tense class that the verb think is a stative verb which can't be used with continuous tense. now how to express this perticular talk or emotion ? in my country teacher's are teaching and people are talking frequently this kind of sentence structures everywhere 😏 regards🥰
"thinking about doing something" is different to "think". "thinking about doing something" means consider doing something. You are making a decision. That use can have an continuous form. considering something or thinking about doing something is in fact an action. Therefore it has a continuous form. You can say "I am thinking about going to London." for example. To further answer your question: "to think" has 2 meanings in English: 1) = "to believe" Example: "I think that David Beckham was a good footballer." (correct) This meaning of think does *not* have a continuous form. We do NOT say "I am thinking that David Beckham is a good footballer." (wrong) 2) = "to imagine" Example: "I'm thinking about my parents." (correct) and "I think about chocolate every day." (correct) This meaning has both a simple form and continuous form. Andrew
@@CrownAcademyEnglish 🥰💕🥳🤗 thank you.. feeling blessed to have such an amazing teacher like you.

In spite of the fact that I don't understand English songs, I'd like to listen to them!
Very good example. Well done. Andrew
@@CrownAcademyEnglish I'm flattered to hear that! Sir.
Hi there, I need a lesson about linking word
Sir Bills of exchange must be protested for dishonour Here what is the meaning of "for" in this context?
In that context, "for" is giving the reason of something. Here is a simpler example: Mark was arrested for murder. = Mark was arrested. Why? Because he had committed murder. Another example: The teacher punished me *for* talking in class. "for" gives the reason of the punishment. Why did the teacher punish me? Because I was talking in class. In your example, it is legal language. "for dishonour" gives the reason *why* you must protest. You must protest the bill of exchange. Why? Because it was *not* honoured. Dishonoured in this context means that you were not paid. Andrew
@@CrownAcademyEnglish your explanation is amazing thanks a lot
despite the fact that i didn't see you, i had you at hello
Thanks
Thank you very much. That is very kind and I really appreciate it. 🙂 Best wishes Andrew
