Hi Alex,

Is it there any video on WOULD HAVE or WOULD HAVE BEEN ?

Hiii alex…It’s sona from India.I watched this video and understood the content but I have a question to you-suppose I have two friends-one is mike and another is terry-I actually want to tell u a story and understand the usage of “would have pastparticiple”.suppose I have a good relationship with mike but can not get along with terry for some reasons.It may be that terry behaved very bad last week with me and was also seen with one of my friends while walking on the street.Suppose Yesterday ,I phoned my friend mike while terry was present there but I didn’t know it.We talked for 15 minutes and then put the receiver down.Meanwhile ,terry calls me today and asks me why I didn’t talk with her yesterday.Now the total story turns into a complicated state.I tell her that I saw her entering into a bar holding my friend’s hand and leaning towards his lips.It made me totally upset and very sad-felt very bad,got hurt-now if I say that “I would not have phoned mike if had known you were there” because I don’t want to talk with you anymore and end up all relationship with you.It is all over.Now tell me that have I used the conditional in correct situation and correct context. Also check the errors in my sentences and let me know about my english level..looking forward to your reply..

Thanks Alex

thanks in advance.

Nice teaching

hi , i wanna learn structer of been to . plz plz make learn to me, iwill be very thank full to u

Why do some people use “have had/has had/had had” in their sentences??
Are these sentences correct grammatically? Do these sentences follow grammar rules?
I have got some sentences which made me so confused-

1. Have they had their breakfast yet?
2. Have you had a nice evening?
3. Have you always had hay fever?
4.I’ve had a headache since early morning.

Please make me understand anyhow.:)
And do correct if there are any grammatical mistakes.
Thank you!i wanna learn strutter of been to . pl z pl z make learn to me, i will be very thank full to u

teacher , I wanna ask you “shouldn’t have” mean something happen . for example , can i say ” i shouldn’t have left my apartment ” mean i have already left . please give me the correct answer . thank you …….

should have . something didn’t happen
shouldn’t have , also something didn’t happen , so which different between two sentences , it makes me confuse until now

THANKS mr alex, but there is a some problem about this lesson ,i should have understood this lesson but when i treid the test and all the quastion i feild. i did’t the problem. for example I didn’t wake up early yesterday. I… (express regret)
should have wake up early.
should have waked up early.
should have woken up early.
should not have waked up early.

Hi teacher, very nice thanks so much.

Really great Alex. You are awsome!! ;-)

Hi Alex thanks for your lessons and thanks for speak slowly

i want to join this site so that i can learn more on this………..

thnk u..
Could u pls explain me, where to use WOULD,MAY MIGHT.

Hi Alex,
English is my first language yet I have a question about doesn’t, wouldn’t, won’t, and shouldn’t when it’s used in a question to reassure a statement. I was writing a comment about starvation and part my comment says, “If a girl changes her looks and [her boyfriend] likes it wouldn’t that mean he doesn’t really like her for who she is?” I don’t understand if I should use the word wouldn’t or something else. Wouldn’t means ‘would not’ but that is not what I want to use it for and if I used it I would be saying would not and does not in the same sentence which does not make sense. I’m confused. Is it proper (in informal) to say wouldn’t in such a way? What should I say instead if not and why do people say this? I’ve heard wouldn’t, shouldn’t, won’t, and doesn’t being used the same way. What about in an essay? Can you or someone else make a lesson for this, maybe it’s at a higher level or something? Please help me.

Thank you

I should have watched these lessons before.

Really I feel my English get better by these videos.

Thank you again.

thanks

thank you Mr.Alex for his lesson, is great.

Thank you very much your teaching. I couldn’t make 6th question. I thought ‘ She should’t have came home late.’ Is this like true? Thanks again.
Hasan

Dear Alex, first of all, It was an awesome class! Thank you!

Alex, can you explain the difference the meaning about the following sentences?

1)I should have studied harder to get a better grade.
2)I had to study harder to get a better grade.

Can I use the sentence number 2 to say that I have an obligation in the past and I didn’t it?

Thank you! I’m your fan! See you!

I would have to go to the bus stop. I may have to go to bus stop. I might have to go to the bus stop. I should have to put this down. Teacher could you explain this?

Very well and thanks for your lesson about “SHOULD (past time)”.
