One of my students asked when exactly we say the phrase "excuse me" in English. This student heard it in several different situations, and wants to know how it's supposed to be used.
I can think of at least 6 different times you should say excuse me!

Subject-verb agreement is one of the first things you learn in English class. It means the subject of the sentence has to have the correct verb form:
Simple, right?

All right, I can't wait to get started!
There's a famous quote by Henry Ford that goes like this: "Whether you think you can or you think you can't - you're right." This means if you have a positive attitude and you believe you can do something, then you will be able to do it. But if you have a negative attitude and you believe you can't do something, then you won't be able to do it.
Our mindset has a very powerful effect on our success. So that's why I'm always encouraging you not to say or think things like "I can't speak English very well" or "I can't become fluent" because these attitudes will actually prevent you from reaching your goal.
I believe you CAN reach your English-learning goals, and I'm here to help you with my lessons and courses. One of the best ways to learn is to join my Complete Program, so you can improve every area of your English and get a 50% discount.

Let's look at the words that follow this rule… and the exceptions to it!
