English Grammar - Passed or Past?

[hennhesaigon]

You're the best teacher I've ever seen, You have a great smile Emma.

[lilianecamargo]

I'm Brazilian and I'm happy that I learn English in her classes. There are many lessons still, but learning.

[juanm.vjuanesteban]

It's difficult for me understand when I hear native people speak, but with you there is an exception, cause I understood almost everything, you are a great teacher.

Overall great video, there's just one mistake i noticed...

I hate to sound like a know-it-all, but it's important to clarify that these words are NOT homonyms as stated at 0:20, they are in fact homophones; the distinction being, homonyms are words that are spelled the same & can sound alike, but with different meanings, while homophones are spelled differently but still sound the same & have different meanings. The fact that passed & past are spelled differently disqualifies them from being homonyms. An easy way to remember how to distinguish between the two is homonym = same name & homophone = same sound. So the basic principle is, homonyms will always be spelled the same while homophones will always sound the same.

Hope this helps!

I will be appearing for my IGCSE English First Language examination in a few days, and all of your videos have been extremely helpful in preparing for my examination. Thank You!!

I had a vociferous argument with someone on the difference between these two words. Thanks for clarifying this so clearly.

[Angelhurtado]

thank you Emma for this leasson. It was so easy
I've learned a lot of things with your classes thank you once again

[AustinCatmull]

Great explanation! I've been getting these two words mixed up in my head and in my writing lately. Your explanation really cleared it up for me. Thx!

[umarali-jodf]

[minadara]

I never had a teacher or studies in a academy of english but with practice watching videos speaking english S SO AMAZING TO LEARN im understand all this!!! Thanks a lot

[MarS-bodp]

Thank you. Question for engVid and follow learners: I came across this sentence in a book "he hurried on past trying not to look" Google translates the same using "past" and "pass"

[oscarpinilla]

You did well, thank you. I teach English too so I am familiar with the feeling of being alone in front of a class or audience. As one of my college teachers used to say: if we could, we would take all our friends, family and couple with us to job interviews, classes, lectures, and even to the doctor. Perhaps a couple of acting oratory lessons might come in handy,

[awdalysaleh]

THE EXCELLENT MESSAGE THAT YOU DELIVERED IS ON SOME THING PRECIOUS THAN THE ACTUAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAST AND PASSED . THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH .

[peterarinze]

You are my favourite teacher so far.
Thanks from Brazil.

[j.ccaibigan]

I liked the way she taught her student. I really understood the lesson because she let her student answered the question on their own.

[hugocm]

You're a great english teacher and your english is very easy to understand. Are you canadian? Your first video is excellent as well. Thanks. ( Just for curiosity: Do you teach english to exchange students? Because I want to learn english and I'm looking for a student exchange program.)

[francisjichen]
