Hello, and welcome to English for Everyone, where we practice real-life American English.

Present continuous

Today, we're going to learn to avoid some important mistakes, so let's get started.

I think that doesn't make any sense, and it just wastes people energy.

I have to use a possession and say people's, people's energy.

So it's correct to say it just wastes people's energy.

I have to use a possessive and say people's.

Or I can say it's a waste of energy, and I can use waste as a noun.

So I can say it wastes people's energy, or I can say it's a waste of energy.

I'll do other things in English, and I'll prove you that I can become advanced in 30 days.

I cannot say I'll prove you that I can become advanced in 30 days.

I'll prove to you that I can become advanced in 30 days.

If I just have an adjective wrong, in this case I can use prove with no to.

But if I use prove with a clause after that, I have to use the preposition to.

So again, I can say I'll prove you wrong.

When I have that plus a clause, I need the preposition to.

And she says she's going to do 50 push-ups.

She wants to prove to him that he is wrong.

Does she want to prove to him that he's wrong?

She wants to prove to him that he's wrong.

This means that the decision has been made when you were angry or too passionate about something and you probably need to rethink, you probably regret it.

I cannot say you probably need to rethink.

We have to use an object after the verb rethink.

We cannot say you probably need to rethink.

We have to say you probably need to rethink it.

She probably needs to rethink her decision.

We need the object, her decision, after rethink.

But I cannot say she probably needs to rethink.

Example, she wants to go on vacation and she wants to go to Alaska in winter.

Again, I cannot say she probably needs to rethink.
