Got 09/10. ☺ Alex, one option wasn’t right. It should be” You should have” otherwise, how would I feel my day ! 😋
Are you referring to the birthday gift question? Ha! It’s nicer to say “You shouldn’t have.” :)
Yes alex. I was talking about the birthday ‘s one. ☺
I thought so. What did you mean by “How would I feel my day?” :)
Hi Alex! I have a question: I’ve seen that you have used an abbreviation for “would have”, Can I use the same rule for should or could? in this way I could write “You should’ve been there”. Thanks a lot for your great work fo us. Have fun Paola
Yes. You can say “would’ve,” “could’ve,” “should’ve,” and “might’ve.” :)
I should have told my friend to wacth your video ^.^ . It’s very help me. Thank you
“It really helped me.” :) You’re very welcome.

Hello Alex sir you are teaching very nicely I m getting confident right now m watching your vocabulary and pronounciation videos it would be very kind of you if you will guide me which videos should I have learn first from you I am Indian and I want to learn pronounciation and want to improve my writing also
10/10 thank u. its very helpful….
I have an opinion about paying attention for expression “I wouldn’t do that if I were you”. In this case using “I were” against “I was” (as it would be by rule) isn’t mistake. As I know it isn’t the only such case in English.
Thanks for a regular useful lesson.
Very sad! 40/100
thanks for your lesson _ its great

Alex please, could you create a story from this expressions to help me keep it on my mind ?
Hi Alex, your lessons are awesome,and very helpful.
Please let me know if I wrong,
In fourth question:
4. How was the concert?
I chose:
So good! You would’ve love it!
but it was incorrect.
Why the answer “So good! You would’ve loved it!” is proper?
100♡♡♡♡♡
Thank you Alex
I love ur explenation😍
Hi Alex. I’m wondering if this is a Canadian vs American English thing. On the question: Can you come tomorrow? I would say, “I will if I can.” Does this sound right to you? If the question were, “Would you go to France if you had the opportunity?” then I would reply, “I would if I could.” Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Mr. Alex. I can’t help watching your lessons!
I got 100 thanks Alex
