I enjoy your lessons beautiful teacher

[@SuperJose26]

Dear Aga, a thousand thanks 🙏 for this exceedingly interesting lesson on English usage. Could you please, one day, elaborate on the subtle differences between 'fast' and 'quick'? I promise I've already consulted probably all available online English dictionaries; to no avail! They're all but "dead words"! I've come to the conclusion that only a native speaker could help me with that 😊. Wish you a lovely 🌹 day!

[@michaelmckelvey5122]

Aga is not a native speaker, she is Polish!

[@guerricbrunet6340]

Two answer corect for me❤

[@SureshRayudu-x1b]

Present -Can > I can swim Past -Could > I could swim, when I was kid. But now i'm not ready now Feature -to be able to > I will be able to swim next year

[@jeanandre6129]

Ms Forrest comes 1st, and then Aga. But Aga is more bending toward the grammar

[@redblizzard3558]

I thought "to be able to" was used to talk about your skills, things that you how to do. But it's actually more used to talk about options, is that right? Thanks for all your videos.

[@mehranbabaei6651]

I was able to get all the correct answers.

[@english_with_aga]

Great!

[@LvBeethoven10]

OH BELLA AGA!

[@taoushebouche6528]

I didn't make any mistakes.

[@bithieusufzai2140]

😊🏊🏼Once you've learnt how to swim you will never forget even if you sleep in the middle of the ocean you will be able to float like a boat until any shark or snake come to visit you and even if you die and wake up in heaven you will be swimming in the beautiful magical sea/ocean happily where there will be no shark or snake I guess (but I'm not sure about the situation of hell though where I never want to go 🐍)!
