Can we say in this way, "I wish I shouldn't have worked on this day" instead of "I wish I hadn't worked on this day". If it's wrong please clarify. Thank you.

Hello teacher!

Hello Joseph!

[@hristov71]

Hi there, I have a question for you , in Bulgaria we have a saying that I translated as : When I was doing this , you were walking under the table ! Meaning I'm better, I'm more experinced etc. I used continuous tense , does it sound correct? Can I say. When I did this , you walked under the table and in english do you have idiom meaning same thing? Thank you in advance Regards

[@englishspeaking360]

Your translation and use of the continuous tense make sense in English, but a slight adjustment might make it sound more natural. For example, you could say: > "When I was doing this, you were still crawling under the table!" In English, a similar idiom to express experience or seniority is: "I was doing this when you were still in diapers." (This implies that you've been doing something since before the other person was old enough to understand it.) Or you could say: "I've been doing this longer than you've been around." These convey the idea of having more experience in a way that's commonly understood in English.

[@hristov71]

@@englishspeaking360 I deeply appreciate your explanation, if I use past simple, "When I did this you walked under the table" , why isn't it appropriate, where is the mistake? Or it sounds like just past actions with no meaning. Would you clarify this,please, I know all structures, I just can't think in english Regards

[@baharrr1997]

I have a question. If I mean now, not about a past situation. Should I say "I wish, I don't work today"? Please, help me to understand it.

[@englishspeaking360]

If you're at work now and you want to express that you would prefer not to be working, the correct choice is: "I wish I didn't work today." This phrasing uses the past simple tense ("didn't") to express a present regret or wish about a current situation, which is common with the verb wish when we talk about things we would like to be different right now. The phrase "I wish I don't work today" is incorrect in this context because with wish for present situations, we typically use the past tense form to show that it’s a hypothetical desire.

[@baharrr1997]

@englishspeaking360 Thank you so much

[@englishspeaking360]

@baharrr1997 My pleasure! 🤩🇨🇦

[@PARADOXE56]

An example from the south of USA : "I wish I was in Dixie. Hooray, Hooray!" (But with a preterit instead of PP.)

[@englishspeaking360]

Yes, that's something people say. 👍 "I wish I were in Dixie" is actually the grammatically correct choice here, though many people use "was" in casual speech. In formal English, "were" is preferred in this type of "wish" or hypothetical statement. Here's why: when expressing wishes about something unreal, hypothetical, or contrary to fact, English uses the subjunctive mood. This mood calls for "were" rather than "was" with all subjects (I, he, she, it, etc.). So, grammatically speaking, "I wish I were in Dixie" is the correct form, as it implies a hypothetical or unreal situation. In everyday conversation, however, people often say "I wish I was," and it’s commonly understood. But for formal writing or when teaching ESL students about correct subjunctive usage, it’s best to stick with "were."

[@PARADOXE56]

@@englishspeaking360 How great is the answer! Thank you. So I change my remark: we can see a subjective form, but not a PP. Frankly I'd prefer, but is it a fifth form, or am I out of the today scope? If I were more litterate, I'd be able to conclude...

[@mandychiu7319]

Sir, if he had time, he would see us. For if sentence, can it be negative? If so, how? 🤔

[@englishspeaking360]

Hello! To make this sentence negative, you can simply add "not" after "would." The result is: "If he had time, he would not see us." This implies that even if he had time, he still wouldn’t choose to see us. However, if you want to indicate that he doesn't have time and, therefore, cannot see us, you could also use the following: "If he didn’t have time, he wouldn’t see us." This form implies a hypothetical scenario in which his lack of time would prevent him from seeing us.

[@mandychiu7319]

​@@englishspeaking360Sir, thank you so much. I don't realize that question before watching this vedio. I know if he had time, he would see us, but I never think about I can change the first part of this sentence into a negative way. I am so happy about that because I learned more. 😊

Sir, goooood morning! It's 8:30 in Taiwan. I have a question. That's rich can be used in a positive way? For instance, A: I have to hire 5 people to clean my mansion for 5 hours. B: That's rich. How about this? A:The speaker's speaking is quite amazing. B:He is a rich professor, or what he said is rich. Is it OK? By the way, yesterday I had a conversation with my co-worker, and she said he was white. I definitely know what she meant. She described the boy's skin was fair. You know what, as I heard it, it was quite funny. Maybe both of us are Asian, that's why I could get her immediately. For native speakers, they could be confused for a sec. 😂

[@englishspeaking360]

Hello Mandy! The phrase "That's rich" can have different meanings depending on the context and tone. Here are the most common interpretations: 1. Ironic or Sarcastic Disbelief It is often used to express disbelief or ridicule, especially when someone says something hypocritical or absurd. Example: Person A: "You should really work harder." Person B: "That's rich coming from someone who’s always late to work!" 2. Amusement or Humor It can indicate that something is absurd, unexpected, or laughable in a humorous way. Example: She said she doesn’t gossip, but she knows everyone’s secrets. That’s rich! Typically, the sarcastic or ironic usage is the most common today.

[@englishspeaking360]

Yes, "That's rich" can sometimes imply that someone's actions or behavior are characteristic of wealthy people, often with a touch of irony or criticism. This usage is less common but contextually possible. For example: "She bought another designer handbag? That’s rich." "He tipped a waiter $100 for a cup of coffee. That’s rich." In these cases, the phrase highlights behavior associated with wealth, sometimes suggesting extravagance, indulgence, or out-of-touch attitudes.
