Advanced English Grammar IN USE: Should, Would & Could

You might know the English grammar rules for these words, but can you use them when you talk? Do you know when to use them in real world situations? Understanding the uses of SHOULD, the uses of WOULD and the uses of COULD for specific purposes is essential if you are to speak with these words fluently in English speaking. That’s what this video is about. It teaches you some of the most important situations in genuine English conversation when you’d use SHOULD, WOULD or COULD (as well as CAN) in your speaking. It goes perfectly with lessons on advanced English grammar (C1 English / C2 English).

[@fabianabevis9890]

This is such a useful video! What a great concept: we've finally learnt the rules of "should, would and could" and now, as you put it, we can use them in the real world. Thank so much!

Good evening! How refreshing and compelling you are! Listening to you is just like listening to Michael Swans books. The way you explain rules is just astounding, not to mention your voice. You remind me of Neil Tennant meeting Ian Mackellen drinking coffee with Foster. Thank you so much for your lessons. Giorgio :-)

Thanks so much Giorgio! That was a really kind thing to say 🙂🙂

Hi! Did you find my video on modal verbs from a few months ago? It covers lots of meanings of modals

[@vladimirb5319]

... I can understand your explanation of the rules and I can see how the illustrative examples conform to the rules ... still, I am not sure at all that I could apply the rules correctly - a test would be nice, if you will... ...

That's a good idea. I can't change the video, but I can type one in the description. Would you like that?
