Hi Gill,

thank you for your very useful lesson.

Please, could you explain where the differnece between AUXILIARY and MODAL verb is ?

Or is it the same ?

Thank you

Adriana

adrijana

Hi Adriana, I can help answer this one! A modal verb is an auxiliary verb. It “helps” and needs other verbs to be used.

She can do it.
We should leave early.
They’ll be angry if we don’t finish this.

I hope this helps!

Alex

Thank you very much, Alex.
It means every modal verb is an auxiliary verb.

adrijana

Hi,
the modal verb is not only auxiliary,it also shows the attitude of the speaker.

THANKS JILL
Much appriciated!
But we need to know not only about SHOULD WOULD and COULD. There are other words to watch about , like WILL NEED and so on.
Would you be so kind to make other videos about these words too?

Leonid Ramzaev

Hi, I would like to practice my speaking English. I leave my WhatsApp number in my profile. Feel free to contact me.

Maher69

thank you. It was very interresting.

Fabio Gestar

Is this correct?

“I would like to talk about” or should it be

I Will like to talk about….

Chiazor

Hi Chiazor, the MUCH more common set phrase is “I would like to talk about” in this case. It can have a present or near future meaning. However, “I will like to talk about” is possible, but only has a future meaning. It can also be misunderstood because it COULD sound like you’re making a promise that you WILL enjoy talking about something in the future.

Stick with “I would like to talk about.” :)

Alex

the question number 8 the answer was (I used to polish my shoes every day, but I don’t do that anymore.)
why he doesn’t do that any more
i understood that he used to polish his shoes that is meaning it always are dirty
would you like to reply to me please

MEMO khaled

The sentence is just hypothetical or conditional and it implies that he used to do it before but he stopped dude to some reason – this could be any reason.

Hello
Thank you for incredible amazing lesson!!!
I have a question, why in this sentence “I would’ve cooked a meal, but I didn’t have time.” we do not say “but i had not had time”, is it not a third conditional where we use past perfect?
Thank you in advance

Nartjaree P.

Please, take a look at number 7 question, there is an error. The correct answer counts as incorrect in the final result. Was getting 9/10 everytime. Thanks.

OrdinaryEnglishStudent

Which answer do you think is the correct one?

engVid Moderator

You are right. I guess I misunderstood. “I used to polish my shoes every day, but I don’t do that anymore.” seems like the correct one. Still, kind of a tricky question, to me at least. Shouldn’t it be could instead of would in the question to fit the answer properly? Doesn’t would suggest regular past action?

OrdinaryEnglishStudent

Yes, “would” suggests regular past action. For this question, the key bit is past. “At one time” and “would” imply that you don’t polish your shoes any more.

If you still polish your shoes every day, you would just say “I polish my shoes every day” or “I have always polished my shoes every day”. I hope this helps.

Thank you Ms. Gill.

Alex-1956

I just do not understand why you used the word ‘would’ instead of just ‘did’ in the following question: ‘Why would she leave her car here?’ Is there any special reason for that or both forms are mutually interchangeable? Thank you. :)

Would you like to explain, why did you use in the YouTube lesson “If I had known….” not just “ if I knew”?
What is the difference?
