Hi @@jorgealejandroyanezpenaloz4747! This is a mistake that a lot of ESL students make... and which some native speakers make too!! Ooops!! 😖 The correct preposition to use after ARRIVE is either AT or IN (When did you first arrive in Manchester? / What time do you arrive at the restaurant?)

[@DJ-gl8rw]

A'ight, Greg :) How do you feel about: arrive *at* an agreement arrive *to* an agreement ❓

[@vladislavbychkov4516]

Hi Greg. I am Russian guy from Turkmenistan. My mixed conditional is the following: If I had not left Turkmenistan, me and members of my huge family would be the second rate people. How do you like this example? Please give your feedback.

[@poussinhamzah4013]

If I had discovered Greg's way of teaching earlier I would realise how English can be more interesting than French

[@adamas1072]

If I were sick, I wouldn't go on holiday. If I were supposed to go to school tomorrow, I would have slept earlier. If I hadn't known about your channel earlier, I wouldn't be watching your videos rn. IDK if I wrote it right, but I put my effort into it.

[@slowlearner4341]

Hello Greg. Unlike three first "Conditionals" videos, this one puzzled me a bit. I do agree that grammatical combinations you exampled are common in written and spoken English. However, if I were you, I would describe and comment these phrases differently. At least few of them. So: 1) "If I had more money I would have bought that car yesterday". A timing marker "yesterday" shall be understood that is nothing to refer to present tense. Today I might posses a car; different, of course, not that I wanted to purchase yesterday. So, neither money, nor car is related to present tense. 2) I can attach adequate comment regarding next sentence "If I knew him I would have say "hello". It might happen a minute, a week & a month ago. I don't feel here any present tense again. 3) Neither present, nor future I don't smell in the next example: "If she had more time, she would study another language". It might be about my grandmother who confessed me 20 years ago that communication skills in German language would make her life much easier in the years 1941-1944. However, she had to take care about her younger siblings. Consequently, she didn't have any time for mastering her intermediate level of German. So again, Greg...Maybe this mixed conditional is something more scientific, just grammatical, than practical? Maybe these and other examples could represent variations of the third conditional? Before you start sending damnations on my stupid head, remember that I am a bit dumb. And therefore, I am a Slow Learner. P. S. Since you advised not to apologize for mistakes in one of your video, I don't do it. I think my text is understandable anyway. The only thing I apologize is a length of my scribble. P. P. S. Thank you to everyone who read to the end.

[@marthaescalante3551]

Let me tel you if you use adverbs of frecuency ,that means you are reffering a certain time in the past. it becomes simple past.

[@daviddaviti7236]

Perfect lesson!

[@eduarddudnik7685]

Hi Greg, could you explain the difference between 2-nd conditional and mixed conditional in your last-minute video cut. The structures for both are the same (if verb form 2 + would infinitive), but the tenses are different - what is the trick? Best wishes, Eduard

first conditional

[@EmPe1983]

how come we've got present perfect in the if... clause than?is it possible?

[@monarou3084]

I love grammar lessons, especially yours! These mixte conditionals are easy to understand for a French brain. I think a sentence like " stop whining , and I'll stop shopping!" is also a form of conditional sentence. "Give money or I shoot", too. In these two sentences without any grammar form of conditional, there is a condition. Right? And if I write "Have a great day, and I'll be in touch soon." doesn't it seem like a condition to have a great day ?! 220822

[@Sergugnivenko]

So difficult for understanding mix variants: Future-past, Future-present. My brain is being exploded!😁

excuse me, but at 7:15 isn't it just the second conditional?

[@abdelerad3658]

This confuses the hell out of me! But, I'll get it. Thanks.

[@sepidehabghari7313]

can we say, "what would you have done if you inherited a large amount of money?'' instead of using the second or third conditionals? I know that the condition is in the present and therefore cannot have a result in the past. However, I think the condition is hypothetical and therefore cannot have bearing on the past.

[@mohammedosawaftah4656]

What is the difference between the second, third, and mixed conditionals? the structure in mixed conditionals is similar to the second and the third so I am confused.

[@leonardoguadalquivir6181]

[Past - Present] If I hadn't studied a lot, like a mad, during my university course, I wouldn't have an excellent final average. If my cat hadn't got into my life two years ago, surely my life would be completely dull now. [Past - Future] If I were present in the meeting, I would tell you what happened. [Present - Past] If I had more money, I would've bought that book in the fair yesterday.

[@montajcih6300]

When I spoke in american english,I didn't have my own accent and most of the people said i speak well. But when I speak in british,everyone recognizes my country and my accent. What should I do?

[@douglasmarinho3653]

I speak with the American accent as well it might be because you aren't used to the British accent yet and I think your accent is more recognizable

[@abdassaf2674]

I want to now difference between past perfect and past continuous

[@SidSiu]

Past perfect: She had washed dishes before doing shopping. I had eaten lunch before my boss asked me for lunch. Past continuous: She was washing dishes while she was cooking. I was eating lunch when my boss asked me for the proposal.

[@syedsahab5438]

I'm unable to download the quick fix. Book. I don't know why. Can't find in email

[@davidmelara1854]

Hi, Greg. Would you mind giving me some feedback? One british woman told another: "Would you mind if I HAD the last piece of cake?". She said that BEFORE taking it. My native tongue is Spanish, so, I would have said: Would you mind if I HAVE (instead of "had", which is past) the last piece of cake? If I am wrong, I really appreciate to know why. You're the best!

[@EnglishWithGreg]

This is the 2nd conditional, used with the expression "Would you mind" in order to ask for something politely. It's completely correct. This video explains a little bit more about using the past tense to talk about the future :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYfPmaFqor95sKc

[@mikhail_averyanov]

Greg, I think, if you look at 5.56, you have seen "morey" instead of "money" and maybe correct it.

[@EnglishWithGreg]

Yep 👍🏼 I’m afraid it’s impossible to correct it now though 😖

[@oralreport2986]

[@user-qr7xu7bl3n]

If we learn that we have hurt or offended someone, we should not simply brush it off. (part 1 is invented in the past, part 2 is present. Right?)

[@yasminebeb]

how could "i won the lottary" considers future ????

[@raviperera50]

If I'd brought an umbrella, I would be going in this rain without getting wet. (past and present)

[@zloykoldun3666]

2 sentences: 1. If I had listened to my wife's grandma and hadn't took a cold water bath I wouldn't've felt sick. 2. If I had listened to my wife's grandma and had drunk warm milk with honey I would feel much better. As I understand first example is pure 3 conditional. And the second is mixed conditional 3+2 (past+present/future). Am I right?

[@norberthorvath7364]

"took" insteads of taken. I think.

[@douglasmarinho3653]

So the conditionals are like in Portuguese after all

If I had been your mother, I would have taken care of you and your sisters. 2) If we had Messi in our team, we would have won the match. If we had had Messi in our team, we would have won the match. which of these are true and if all are true then what's the difference?

First view yay..

[@mikhail_averyanov]

I am sorry but: in a sentence "If she had more time..." you have said "present" but "had" - is past form of have?

[@SidSiu]

If she had more time… Hypothetically referring something at the point of time when you are speaking

[@norberthorvath7364]

"(If) she have more time" 1st "If she had more time" 2nd/ hypothetical in the present "If she had had more time" 3rd/ hypothetical in the past

[@mamtakarki5023]

Were is used for past not for present (if we were not so busy we would invite u to our house

[@davidmelara1854]

Past - Present If my cousin had get married, he would have his son. Past - Future If I hadn't listened to my teacher's advice, I wouldn't have answers when I need it. Present - Past If I had a job, I wouldnt have eaten just noodles. Present - Future If México hadn't approve the abortion, it would start on the straight and narrow. Future - Past If the man wasn't sinning, we wouldn't have destroyed each other. Future - Present If my soccer team had any goal in the game, I would be celebrating from now.

[@zloykoldun3666]

07:27 excuse me, but why is mixed conditional here? It's obviously a simple second condition: If we weren't so busy we would invite you to our house. Here we have If+verb2 - would+verb1. Typical second condition! Why is it something else?

money not morey

[@redequal7457]

Why all the use of "had" when talking about the past when the simple past would do? The "had" conditionals seem unnecessary.
