You had your chance… but you lost it. Now you have the chance to learn how to talk about lost opportunity in English! Master the usage of the modals could, should, and would. Learn how native speakers use these three modals to talk about what they could have, would have, or should have done — but didn’t!
very nice method of teaching.. thank you very much sir
zayeem
In the last question why cant we use “could have”? Isn’t it a past possibility.
Ramankit
For the last question:
Could have: You knew it but you couldn’t go but this person didn’t know it before that’s why ‘would have’ is perfect here. I hope this would help you! Cya!

twas a big help. thanks EngVid!

Aloha James. I know we have to use the structure would have + past participle but I have heard lots of people saying: If you were a cat, I would have brought you some food. This example is stupid but it illustrates what I mean. Is that grammatically correct? Thanks

Hi dear teacher,
I would like to know if it’s possible to use I CAN YOU HELP TOMORROW instead of I COULD HELP YOU TOMORROW.Cuz if we’re talking about possibility ”CAN” can be consider a a possibility.
Divaldo
True, but “can” is more definite — it’s closer to saying “I will help you tomorrow”.

can and could are both express possibility
can – present
could – past
you can help me – it means i will surely help you.
you could help me – it means im not 100% sure that i can help you

hey there.i love the way you teach.I am also a teacher and I teach English as a second language and the matter of the fact is that my first language is Urdu :) I am working in UAE and here people are multilingual.The problem that i face in teaching is TTT i-e teachers talk time.My employer is always complaining about it and according to her it should be 80 % students and 20% teacher…I use visual and audio aid in my lessons, pictures n puzzles.I have tried everything but still she feels that i talk a lot…I shall be really great full if you email me some tips on how to reduce ttt and secondly how should we introduce tenses in an ESL class of beginners.

I would help you if i get enough time to do so.
I would try for you, if situation arises.
I would arrange a party, if I get incentives.
I would sale this mobile phone, if you do not pay me by tomorrow.
5. I wouldn’t mind, if you help me with my project.
I wouldn’t say sorry until he begs pardon.
I wouldn’t pay the fees, if they do not allow me to sit for exams.
please suggest me, whether these sentences are grammatically correct !!

I am a Taiwanese English teacher.
(我是一個台灣的英文老師)
The reason why my English is so good in comparsion with most of my fellow Taiwanese is that I have been constantly learning and practicing English.
(我英文能力之所以比其他台灣大多數同胞來得強是因為我不間斷地學習與練習英文)
Hopefully the average Emglish ability level for Taiwanese can improve a lot in the very near future.
(希望台灣的平均英語實力能在不久的將來大大地進步)
I have finished watching this video completely.
(我已經完整地看完了這個影片)
This video is awesome!!!!
(這個影片棒呆了!!!)
It is bloody useful!!
(真是夭壽實用!!!)
Big thanks to the teacher and all the fellow students around the world.

hey there.i love the way you teach.I am also a teacher and I teach English as a second language and the matter of the fact is that my first language is Urdu :) I am working in UAE and here people are multilingual.The problem that i face in teaching is TTT i-e teachers talk time.My employer is always complaining about it and according to her it should be 80 % students and 20% teacher…I use visual and audio aid in my lessons, pictures n puzzles.I have tried everything but still she feels that i talk a lot…I shall be really great full if you email me some tips on how to reduce ttt and secondly how should we introduce tenses in an ESL class of beginners.
regards,
ayesha
Hi, how is it going?, nice class, but i’ve got a question, What is the difference between “Can’t have happened” and “couldn’t have happened”?, thank you pal.
thanks a lot sir
thank you for the lesson. however, the test is quite easy. i got them all correct but i am not sure if my understanding is crystal clear. i am so confused. what is the different between these modals and simple past tense. like. i would drink that, if i didn’t have to drive. and. i would have drink that, if i didn’t have to drive. thank you.
Thanks a lot, would you give us more example .

Hi James. A million thanks for this lesson. I’m very confused if what is the best word should use if I had a conversation to someone. Now that you apparently show and discuss what is the big differences, It clears my mind. Keep it up James. I love the way you act. Happy day.
Thank you very much!

Practice:
I would help you if i get enough time to do so.
I would try for you, if situation arises.
I would arrange a party, if I get incentives.
I would sale this mobile phone, if you do not pay me by tomorrow.
5. I wouldn’t mind, if you help me with my project.
I wouldn’t say sorry until he begs pardon.
I wouldn’t pay the fees, if they do not allow me to sit for exams.
please suggest me, whether these sentences are grammatically correct !!

I am a Taiwanese English teacher.
(我是一個台灣的英文老師)
The reason why my English is so good in comparsion with most of my fellow Taiwanese is that I have been constantly learning and practicing English.
(我英文能力之所以比其他台灣大多數同胞來得強是因為我不間斷地學習與練習英文)
Hopefully the average Emglish ability level for Taiwanese can improve a lot in the very near future.
(希望台灣的平均英語實力能在不久的將來大大地進步)
I have finished watching this video completely.
(我已經完整地看完了這個影片)
This video is awesome!!!!
(這個影片棒呆了!!!)
It is bloody useful!!
(真是夭壽實用!!!)
Big thanks to the teacher and all the fellow students around the world.
(大大地感謝老師與所有其他國籍的學生)
I could have gotten fall score
thanks James. my score is 60. if I could have read the messages where were under questions, my score could have 100. I forget unfortunately.
Thanks, James You are an amazing man.
I did horrible James!
5 out of 5.. wow..
good James!
Very good lesson but I need to practice more
Thank James! Now I see diference between modals.
Thanks!
I could be wrong but I think you should speak less rapidly ma Master. in my opinion, compare this lesson with your other lessons I watched ever since, this seems unfortunetely less given importance. if I were you i would explain the lesson a little more slowly. Thanks anyway.
useful lesson , James …
