You are welcome to the English Language grammar class.
Today, we are considering the difference between two phrases: In other words /in order to
“In other words” means to understand clearly without any doubt. On the other hand, "In order to" is referring to an action that must be done.

Examples:
1. I want to marry your daughter. In other words, I love her so much.
2. The widow had to work full time in order to provide for her children.
3. In order to see the manager, I had to wait for five hours.
4. They're letting me go. In other words, I have been sacked.

It is important to note both the uses and the spellings of the two phrases.
Many people write in other to instead of in order to and in order words instead of in other words.

Thank you for giving me your attention today. Bye, till next time.

Let’s consider these words which are usually confused: Practice/Practise/Advice/ Advise
In British English, Practice is a noun and Practise is a verb. The same goes for Advice and advise.
Examples:
1.She didn’t take to the advice I gave her.
2.He was advised not to take too much sugar.
3. I have Choir practice today.
4. The more you practise the better you become.

However, this distinction is not maintained in American English, which uses practice both as noun and verb.
Please note that advice is a non-count noun. Thus, there is nothing like advices. Rather, to pluralise advice, you can talk about pieces of advice. On the other hand, practice is countable noun.

Thank you for connecting. Bye for now.

Today, we are considering irregular verbs whose past forms are challenging to the learner of English Language.
Please note that the list cannot be exhausted during the online class. However, the most problematic shall be considered.
Let’s commence by defining what a verb is. A verb is a part of speech that tells about the action or state of the subject. It is the main part of a sentence because every sentence should have a verb. In English, verbs change to show past, present or future tenses.
Please take note of the following:
1. The verbs been and being are participles but usually mixed up. Been is past perfect(participle) of the verb ‘to be’, while being is present continuous(progressive).
• The student has been disciplined.
• The student is being disciplined.

Please note that the word being can also function as a noun or Gerund (A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing.")
• I am a human being.
• I live in fear of not being understood by people
