    Hi, Rebecca

    Thank you for this video was very helpful.
    I do have a question: I tend to think in Spanish to translate back in English when I’m speaking to someone and looking for the words make me look like I don’t know how to speak. My question is: Do you have any tips on how to fix my problem. Thanks

    This is bullshit. How can I stop liking icescream. Grammar sucks. No logic here.

    My pleasure. Say hi to all your students from me and tell them about our engvid website. Several good lessons by other teachers there that you might find useful, too. All the best to you.

    No, passive voice is different from reported speech. Please check a good grammar book and you’ll understand the difference easily.
