Why can it be used : The driver is alleged to have been driving at 110 miles. Why "have been driving?
@onlearnenglish9222Ай бұрын
Hi, as described in the video, we need a perfect infinitive when we use the Infiniti e to talk about the past. In this case we could use "to have driven" or "to have been driving". "To have been driving" (perfect continuous infinitive) works best here because we are talking about something that was in progress at a moment in the past (when the driver was detected / caught). Does that answer your question? Feel free to let me know if you need clarification.

Thank you for the video. It is fantastic! I have a question about the last example. If we say "the money isn’t expected to be found by the police" is it a different type of passive? Or is it just a mistake on my end? I think I changed the subject from "people" to "the police"
@onlearnenglish9222Ай бұрын
No mistake at all, that sounds fine to me. Adding the agent (the police) is optional but perfectly normal. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.

Active: People say the man "was" in his 40s 1. It is said that the man was in his 40s. 2. The man is said "to have been" in his 40s. Are both of them correct ??

Yes, both of these are correct 👍🏻

Can sb explain the difference between supposed to and should when we advise sb?
@onlearnenglish92224 ай бұрын
Hi! These are really similar and can usually be used interchangeably. However, there is a difference. Should is used to make a recommendation. Supposed to is used to explain what is expected of someone. What is recommended and what is expected are often the same, but certainly not always.

Do we use "are" with the word "police"? Because in my book is written with "is" . Thank you, it was wondeful explanation>
@onlearnenglish92224 ай бұрын
Hi, "the police are investigating" is standard. It is not standard to say "the police is investigating". This is quite an unusual mistake. What book is it that uses "police is"?

Where that verb to have from ?
@onlearnenglish92227 ай бұрын
Hi! The verb "to have" is an auxiliary verb, just like you use in the present perfect ("I have eaten"). When we need to use an infinitive verb form that refers to the past we use the perfect infinitive, which is "to have" + past participle. Does that answer your question?

His family believes or believe ?
@onlearnenglish92228 ай бұрын
Hi! Good question. In American English, "family" is almost always a singular noun. In British English, it can be a singular or plural noun. So, in answer to your question, both "believe" and "believes" work here.

its a shame, but if I were King Charles, I'd give the Crown to his Son William. So he can retire with Camilla that cunning lady who took away the honor from Diana. At least thats how the commoners view this. If the monarchy is to be saved King Charles does not look that kingly honor wise.

I don't think that either Charles or Camilla are as popular as Diana was. However, I anticipate that the coronation will be watched by a lot of people. Thanks for commenting. If you found this exercise useful, feel free to subscribe for more!
