► TRANSCRIPTION
I would go on holiday.
Wait, the word would in this sentence could mean that going on holiday is something I prefer, something I recommend, something that could happen in the future, something that happened in the past, and something that will only happen if something else happens first.
Whoa. Would is a powerful word. In this video, I'm going to teach you the 12 different ways that we use would, which are essential if you want to have an advanced level of English.
Are you ready?
Okay, 12 different ways to use would. That's a lot to cover in one video. So I'm going to keep it as concise as possible. And I'll also leave a link below where you can download a full summary of this lesson with extra examples, too.
Right, we're going to start with four different ways we can use would in the past.
Then we'll look at four ways we can use it in the present, and then we'll look at how we can use it with conditionals and hypothetical futures.
Okay, let's start with the future in the past. What? Okay, well, basically, when we're talking about the past and from the perspective of a past event, but in that perspective, we're talking about the future, we use would.
Okay, it's always easier to look at these things with examples, so let's have a look.
I was confident, so I knew I would pass the test. Do you see? I was confident. That's the past situation. From that perspective of that past situation, we're talking about a future event, the test. I was confident that I would pass the test.
It might also be helpful for you to think that in this context, would is the past of will. In the present, this sentence would be
I am confident, so I think I will pass the test. But when we put everything into the past, it becomes
I was confident, so I thought I would pass the test. Okay, here's another example from a football match.
For example
At halftime, they were sure they would win the game. So again, we're looking at a future event, which is the end of the game from the perspective of a past situation, which is halftime.
In those situations, you need to use would. Okay, would is also used instead of will in reported speech or indirect speech. Look at these examples.
I will call you tomorrow. That is a direct speech.
That is what somebody says. I will call you tomorrow.
But when we're reporting that speech or we're telling you what he said, we have to say
He said he would call me tomorrow.
It will probably be sunny. That's direct speech.
She said it would probably be sunny. That's reported speech. So as you can see, we change will to would when we report what another person said in the past.

You are absolutely the best grammarian in English literature I have ever found. A bunch of love from India.

[@TeacherVanz123]

Agreed

[@Englishwithvsaindlish]

He said he would call me tomorrow. Is this correct my dear friend? Please let's discuss it .

[@Diptanupoet]

@@Englishwithvsaindlish Yes, this sentence is grammatically correct. This sentence implies that the action happened in the past and in the past the person was talking about the future.

[@Englishwithvsaindlish]

1 . He said, " I will call you tomorrow. " Please change this sentence into indirect speech.

[@Diptanupoet]

@@Englishwithvsaindlish He said that he would call me the next day.

[@WalterGeorge2000]

Nice ❤❤❤❤

[@deniskoreyba188]

Do video on reported speach, please!

[@awais8698]

Great video! Just one question: is that okay to use "please" with the structure "would you mind+v-ing..."? Doesn't it sound weird? Like, would you please mind....? 🤔

[@hem1234ful]

[@danylapignotti2492]

Yessss... reported speech WOULD be appreciated 😅😊

[@linalisik-jp1il]

[@mr.nobody5034]

Sir , please suggest us how can we learn English literature.Please suggest some KZbin channel where we can learn English literature or make some videos about English literature

[@freefalcon3359]

❤❤❤

[@monarou3084]

Some ways of using "would" are logical for a French speaker, because the grammar rule is often similar. (Unhappily, a lot of French people don't speak well their own language ..😢)

[@AndreLuizAraujo-qs7ff]

You are a Very Very good teacher and also damn cute ! Greetins from Brazil

[@Englishwithvsaindlish]

Hello sir, please clear our doubts . He said he would call me tomorrow. In this sentence there are two clauses subordinate clause and principal clause. The principal clause is in the simple past tense, and in subordinate clause we cannot use "tomorrow" provided that the statement in subordinate clause is not a universal truth or habitual facts or proverb. Please sir elucidate this.

[@ktoscos4546]

I thin I will be watch this video in order finally solidify this 'would' in my brain :D Because I still doesn't grasp it fully.

[@Englishwithvsaindlish]

Rise & shine . I have a doubt. "He said he would call me tomorrow." Is this sentence correct? How can you use "tomorrow" ? I think the correct reported speech would be " He said he would call me the next day." Would you please explain about it a little bit .

[@Englishwithvsaindlish]

Please I want everyone to discuss about it please please

[@gayanrasika3016]

would it be ok to watch these vidios again and again?

[@fionachan2011]

i want to learn about reported speech.

[@johndereck304]

Mate, I don't need any grammar lessons or anything but I still watch your vids cuz they are cool as fuck and I like your peasant cap lol.

[@user-hu7pd5cf1i]

City

[@sarthakkumarpattnaik342]

It would be a lie, if I say I haven't caused the problem. What is the use of would here, Could you plz explain this?

[@Englishwithvsaindlish]

"I'll see you tomorrow", he said. He said that he would see me the next day

[@EnglishWithGreg]

If I’m reporting it later in the same day, then “tomorrow” is still “tomorrow”. 😉

[@JanDasBorstigeTier]

Can you say this is the kind of the saying "I wish it..."?

[@nickra60]

Why would I do that... Often used.

[@wickedwaxgr]

Why do you sound like saying via"r" and not via?

[@Aimen_tw]

Yeah we really need to know about reported speech our dear teacher Also we need to know vocabulary we use a lot in UK , and finally we can't thank you enough cuz you're the greatest teacher ever ❤️
