Dear, you are great. What i feel, if you could tell something about description and no description, it would be much better. I mean difference between used to and would. Please always explain word you used in templates . Regards

@EnglishwithRupert 3 месяца назад

Thanks Rake! Some grammar books use the term "state" instead of "description". It means what something / someone is like, or what qualities something / someone has, rather than what something / someone does. There are some limited ways in which "would" can be used for such reasons, but in general "would" is used with what people did in the past, rather than what they were like.

Great lesson. So happy I’ve came across your channel. Would you be so kind to make lessons on inversion, fronting and cleft sentences, please.

@EnglishwithRupert 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the lovely comment! If you scroll far enough through my videos, you'll find individual videos on cleft sentences and inversion. I've never made a "fronting" video but I agree, it would be a good idea! Best wishes Rupert 🙂

@@EnglishwithRupertthanks a bunch. If I am being honest, it is so hard to learn from a grammar book I have (grammar book oxford written by George Yule). It’s easier to learn from your youtube videos. So far the best youtube channel for hi inter/advanced english learners

Hi Rupert, Thank you for helping us to advance our English skills! Can I ask you to comment on my four sentences? I would appreciate you for doing that, Thanks! If I had known what would happen in my country later I would have taken other decisions. If I had known what was going to happen in my country later I would have taken other decisions. If I had known what had planned to happen later in my country I would have taken other decisions. If I had known what had been going to happen in my country later I would have taken other decisions. In all of them, I was trying to say the same matter but I do not know which of them is correct. Could you please tell me, which of those four sentences a native American speaker would choose to say? Thanks a lot!

@EnglishwithRupert 19 дней назад

I would say the first two sentences are correct. In sentence 3 it isn't clear who is doing the planning, and in sentence 4 you would usually simplify the tense after the first past perfect, and replace the second past perfect with the past continuous (like in your sentence 2)

@AskoldTheFirst 19 дней назад

@@EnglishwithRupert Thank you very much for your explanations! I could probably supersede 3rd and 4th sentences with the following one: If I had known what was planned to happen later in my country I would have taken other decisions. I hope you will approve of this 3rd variation as well. I appreciate your comments, thank you!

@monteverdi79 3 месяца назад

Nice lecture but this is stuff that B1 learners should already know. C2 is more about understanding sofisticated vocabulary when speaking, listening and writing.

@EnglishwithRupert 3 месяца назад

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I have to respectfully disagree! I've taught a lot of incredible English language learners over the past 25 years, particularly from places such as Germany and Scandinavia, students who would likely achieve an IELTS 8 (so therefore C2), and although they are nearly perfect, it's rare that I come across someone who isn't a native speaker and makes no mistakes at all, ever. Sometimes, they are so subtle that they are hardly noticeable, but they still happen. I think a C2 level student would be comfortable with most of the topics in this video but it's likely they won't be 100% confident in every area. In addition, the areas they may find more challenging will be different to someone else's. One more consideration - there are also people who have a native level vocabulary (and so therefore C2), but are not at a C1 or C2 level of grammar. Best wishes Rupert 🙂

@Evangeline-V1 3 месяца назад

What does "description" in the habitual past mean?

@EnglishwithRupert 3 месяца назад

You could also say "past state"; for instance, "something true about someone/something in the past". Most of the time, we don't use "would" for such contexts e.g. "I would be a student" isn't correct for a past description/state, although (occasionally) people use it with certain states such as background and feelings e.g. "I would be sad when she left"

@Evangeline-V1 3 месяца назад

@@EnglishwithRupert Thank you for the explanation.

@alexartamonov2010 3 месяца назад

Brilliant grammar/English usage info. But I can't help noticing special "English teacher" pronunciation when every single sound is pronounced overly clearly and distinctly. The advanced learners don't need this 😊

@EnglishwithRupert 3 месяца назад

Thanks Alex! You may have a point - 25 years of teaching language learners has probably trained me to speak more clearly than the average English person 😁 I hope you found the lesson useful. Best wishes Rupert
