32 Video Content New-Old
Videos are a popular tool for learning and education, and many lessons now include a video component to help students better understand the material. These videos can take many forms, from animated explanations to recorded lectures, and can be found in a variety of subjects, such as math, science, language, and history. Videos are a particularly useful tool for visual learners, as they can help explain complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. Additionally, videos can be paused and replayed, allowing students to review material at their own pace. With the growing importance of technology in education, incorporating video components into lessons has become an effective way to engage students and enhance learning.

It is n...
Commas - Punctuation for Students
Oscar Wilde, a great British writer, once admitted to spending an entire morning removing a comma from a poem. Asked if that was all he had done, Wilde replied, By no means: on mature reflection, I put back the comma.

Minute and Minute - Homographs
In this lesson, we will look at two of my video English lessons, one showing you how homonyms can be the basis for English jokes, and the other looking at the two words minute and minute. If you don’t know why these two words are different, then this lesson is certainly for you. The first video takes just one minute and 216 words to teach you all about the words minute and minute. The other video is a fun joke to help you understand why Tony's pet newt is called Tiny. After you have watched the videos, we will look at some of the more common homographs in English like: bass, bow, c...
