This comment is just to make the logarithm on KZbin realize that I am interested in the content of this channel, I congratulate and thank you for the information in the video.

[@ronenr1405]

I absolutely agree! I assume that you have subscribed 🏋️‍♀️

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Welcome aboard!

[@garridoscar1]

Excellent class! I’ve taken several classes about this topic on KZbin, but your class was better than the other. Why?, because your examples were about real situations. In addition your explanation about how to pronounce the contraction between the modals, not and have, was fantastic. Thank you so much. You are the first English teacher on KZbin to help me out with my progress in this fascinating language.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

I'm very pleased to hear that, oscar garrido. Thanks for the nice comment and cheers for watching.

[@hasanemami9513]

I think a lot of English learners have some problem to use "would have", "could have" and "should have". So this lesson is awesome for us as an Englis learner. I would have been fluent in English if I saw this lesson earlier. Thanks, teacher, your teaching is great. Good luck.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Really happy to hear that. And nice use of 'would have' in the above sentence. Well done.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Peter Peter, yes, in your above example, the 'if' clause should be in the past perfect tense.

Excellent tutorial video, dear ML-ESL! I've always found myself quite confused in expressing myself with the proper use of Should, could and would and believe me, it has vaporized that long held confusion in minutes! Great work! You exemplified the three with the best structured sentences. Mentioning the difference b/w would have and could have (former to be more certain than the latter) is AWESOME! Let me assure you, you will continue to receive "thumbs up and +ve comments" not for just years, but for the decades...means as long as this video will stay at KZbin! Thumbs up and up and up...!
