PAST MODALS: Might've, Could've, Should've, Would've, Must've....

[@mariaabdulmajeed4591]

I am getting perfect in modal verbs. It couldn't have been possible without your clear explanation.

[@reynavarro9466]

Thank you for making this very clear to me. I should not have listened when somebody told me that this was not used in English. Now I realized that he didn't know grammar. Kudos to you!

[@Крякозябричек]

I could have become a master of English, if I started watching this brilliant channel before!

[@ayleencortez534]

Thanks to your lesson I was able to learn the diffences between these modals clearly.

[@egustavps]

this is a great grammar lesson in just twelve minutes, thanks for the explanation teacher you couldn´t have done it better

[@gianlucarosti8592]

You could've never been more effective in explaining the difference between could've and might've and hope I have used it correctly. Best regards from a poor Italian who strains himself to improve his English.

[@yakubenko365]

Thanks for your explanation. It's perfect as usual.

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Thank you for your perfect comment

[@nighty516]

Gideon, you are fantastic! I already have an advanced level of English but I still watch your videos to revise the grammar and I've learned many useful rules.

[@SurajGorad]

Your explanation is so powerful as I learned tiny thread differences, which shouldn't have taught in our classes. Thanks 😊😉

[@evelynakoublova5610]

It is really very complicated. Thank you Gideon. Thank you so much. I will try to remember a part of this at least.

[@anasraza1157]

You're method of teaching English is very well .I personally appreciate you.God blessed you

[@ssdd6779]

Very wonderful video. I will have to watch this video for next 5-6 times then I will be able to understand it completely. I never watched such an excellent explaination on this topic before, so I always remained confused on this topic. Now I will watch this video repeatedly to understand it. Thanks a lot.

[@fabriziotravelli5263]

your explanation could not have been clearer .... bravo !!

[@rk-em3lx]

Great lesson ! Past modals such like ones in this lesson have always been difficult to understand when I learned them with Polish teachers. In this lesson I understood them in 13 minutes !

[@theothembela7778]

Thank you so much. I am learning a lot from this channel.

[@Come_to_light119]

If I hadn't come across your channel I wouldn't have got such a wonderful opportunity to improve my English.

[@omgdaddynopls5977]

Bro the way it should ve been pronounced makes me wanna repeat it again and again

[@Come_to_light119]

@@omgdaddynopls5977 I'm yet to watch some. Moreover repetition is required to reinforce learning. I need watching the videos again and again that I couldn't have done.

[@sanhitaroychowdhury6189]

Thank u for the great teaching......u must have a great deal of teaching experience...it could not have been easier for anybody than d way u explained

[@prachi2507]

Absolutely perfect video. All problem solved in one videos

[@leticiatapia9400]

I love your lessons, this is a difficult topic for me, i think it is clear now, but in the earlier second I feel confused. I wish i could talk the way you do.

[@antoninavasilyeva7319]

You are the best teacher.Thank you a lot

[@nandomatthias4983]

That's amazing, I live in Brazil and I teach english too, and your videos have helped me a lot, thank you very much, you rock !!

[@skojigoquist9288]

I'm.A native speaker but I love watching your videos :) You are a wonderful actor! Why don't I see you in movies? :)

[@prettyqueen1675]

I really like your lessons , hhhh I really have problems with tenses and stuff , but your videos are understandable and useful I dunno why didn't they teach us like this they just make everything completed

[@LetThemTalkTV]

I'm glad you like them

[@kamalnaili4969]

Thank you for providing us world with free knowledge.

[@parichehrzardoshtian3493]

Many thanks for your splendid explanation.👏🏻🌹

[@mircoromano7924]

never found before a teacher like you... many thanks...

[@0909umcia]

I should have found it before. If I learned all that, it would have been easier to me. I must have been blind to miss your channel for so long.

[@rezza2507]

Hello, Gideon! Great job! I'm chuffed to bits by your useful lessons and great videos, too. Talking about English grammar rules, we also have "ought to" as present modal, don't we? 1. Is there any "ought to have" or "ought to've" as past modal in English grammar? 2. Is there any "ought have to" or "ought've to" as past modal in English grammar? 3. So, what is the past modal of "ought to" itself in English grammar and the negative form of its past modal? 4. What is the difference between "ought to" and "must" and "have to" in English grammar? 5. What is the past modal of "have to" in English grammar? Thanks in advance.

[@LetThemTalkTV]

We have another video about "ought to". yes "ought to have" exists though in British English it's not used so much....but yes it's possible. I'll much answer your other questions in a future video.

[@rezza2507]

Much obliged for answering my question. All right, then. Thanks for having a plan to answer my other questions in a future video.

[@cecilechavez2684]

Woow!! Such difficult grammar and you make them look so easy. Thanks a lot!!!

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Everything is easy when you know it. Thanks

[@kate-ed1ld7so2j]

Thank you for the lesson! Please, explain me if it is possible to make such questions: Must she have missed her train? Could he have helped her?

[@elfaed11]

awesome as always but this lesion is very very grammatically helpful. Thanks alot

[@Mama_Syna_]

Got addicted to your videos☺️ Ultimately helpful 👍👍👍 Thanks a lot!!!

[@mariamkinen8036]

What is the problem? None.i am here purely for fun n listening to something witty. Thx. This can't be that much of a problem. Actually it's exactly my cuppa tea...

[@yusufkarakus124]

ı wouldn't have learned many things from you, if ı didn't find out about your amazing channel.

[@michelirocha4691]

Amazing!! Super useful!! Thank you!!!

"It must have been love, but it's over now."

[@elidiaz2404]

I just found this channel. The way you teach is really professional

[@ileniasanzo2194]

OMG! Gideon I really love your lessons, yet I I'm afraid they're a little bit hard for me at the moment, since I'm concentrated in the CAE test preparation. I'll get back in a few weeks! With appreciation and... Stay mellow!

[@LetThemTalkTV]

I'm sure they will become easier. Stay mellow.

[@ileniasanzo2194]

Thank you Gideon, I'm sure as well! Just the time to let my brain getting rid of the reading & use of English, listening etc., after the exam of course :). Stay lovely!

[@hervepuischevrier2815]

Excellent as always. Why not making a summary at the end of the video or in the description ?

[@luismiguelmedrano8506]

I like this video because I was able to learn more about past modals. Thank you.

[@arturcostasteiner9735]

Thank you Gideon! Can must also be used to mean a high probability but not certainty? For example, By the time I get home, dinner must be ready. That is, dinner will be probably ready when I get home, but I'm not quite sure. Thank you.

[@LetThemTalkTV]

No, you can't. In the present tense MUST is used for obligation. Your statement sounds like a threat. Thanks

[@freefromcage5516]

very useful lesson,, please do a lesson on "having " as it is using frequently by native speakers and it is hard to understand properly by intermediate learners like me. regards 🙂

[@HAMZAkhan-mo5kl]

thanks a lot sir you are very informative for us ❤

[@olelain]

I fell by chance on your channel. I couldn't stop binging your videos. I learned a lot, thank you very much. But my only regret is that for 30 years I still don't understand the usage of "might" . Every other modal verbs translated differently in French and make them somehow not that hard to understand (je voudrais,j'aimerais, je veux) but "I might" is really a mystery for me ;-)

[@olelain]

Pour "I shall", j'ai laissé tombé ;-)

[@KevinMtutoriales]

i must have watched this channel before , thanks for the explanation!

[@English_Galore]

Literally , you explain excellently Sir

[@simony333]

No one could have explained this topic any better!

[@LetThemTalkTV]

I couldn't have wished for a better comment.

[@raffaelenappo1938]

I would have watched your lesson much early, had I avoided many awkward misunderstandings. However, I should have studied more English grammar but I couldn't have been able to determine my English capacity. I have wrongly thought that I was not keen enough to understand this topic, but I could have understood well, maybe I might have needed to meet a good teacher like you early

[@myplaylissst]

I should have been in bed already, but I noticed your video and I coudn't have stood the temptation of watching it.

[@elfaed11]

great grammar lesson, couldn't have been better..

[@sv3955]

if i had discovered your youtube chanel earlier i would have known english pretty well.

[@hdclassesnoida]

I am from India. You are awesome. The way you explained was so simple. Thanks

[@nelsongarciafilho9689]

Congratulations . I liked very much this video. Teacher is great in your job.

[@FikretErdeniz]

I would like to hear your comment about this example that I've come across recently in an exercise in a grammar book written by some American writers. There was this sentence about the possible causes of dinosaur extinction: Sentence: Probably, dinosaurs didn't survive the cold. (must not) -Rewrite --> Dinosaurs must not have survived the cold. Students are supposed to rewrite the sentences using the words in brackets. The rewrite is from the answer key; however, it does not sound right to me. It would sound more meaningful to me if it was like "dinosaurs might not have survived the cold" although I am not a native speaker. I am a fluent and a proficient speaker of English, though. :)

[@asman9511]

you are a gold man,with no smile!

[@walaamohamed3057]

I would not understood the modal verbs in the past, If I had not watched your video, Thank You

[@franklinpiccone1531]

Excelente. Gracias. Un abrazo.

[@volodyapastukh9798]

I wouldn't have made a coffee if i knew how easy was the explanation! Thanks a lot!

[@rezaulshumon8113]

I have been waiting for this lesson! Thank you! There is a difficulty, teacher. It is during conversation, where people use contractions all the time and it is not so clear. Teacher, you could make a video, short, with some sentences where you use contractions. Now, the homework: (me in future) “If I had watched this lesson five times, I would have become more proficient at spoken English.”.

[@LetThemTalkTV]

I already made a lesson about contractions. I'm sure you'll understand everything soon.

[@teemewgek683]

He's not talking about Okinawa, he's talking about "quinoa", a very nutritious grain from the Andes.

[@michakj4994]

Dear Teacher, this is a difficult grammar point. As a foreigner who lives off the Iles, my learning pattern consists of two phases at least, 1. Catch the idea - learn to understand 2 memories and find the techniques to use the grammar or vocab, whatever I have just understood. Dear Teacher Gideon, can you help with implementing point two.

[@rodoami7975]

Thank you for the video, Sir. You have been doing a good job.

[@annanbejat1578]

My thanks for the vid Mr Gideon, it helped me mastering grammar

[@akcoc3802]

Can "Would have+past participle" construction also be used to make assumptions about past?

[@kendrixsese6890]

If I haven't got a time today to check my Gmail account which linked this cite, I really would have missed this great lesson from you! I might have forgotten this one by one but this would've been embedded to my instinct. I may have lacked attention for it for I was a very busy man but I couldn't have forgotten it because this has always been my source to learn and brush up my knowledge further.

[@healthylifestyle2793]

Thanks for the wonderful video! Could you please help me to choose the correct option? 'I don't think he meant to be rude.' 'He ……… said sorry.' i. must have ii. might have iii. would have

You are a good teacher. I am learning but as far as I can tell u that someone must have recommend u to teach in KZbin. You are not teaching by heart

[@freedomcn2]

Thank you very much for your video. Could you tell us what the difference is between "Sha may have missed her train." and "Maybe she missed her train". I think both are kind of speculations.

[@ПолинаКостюк-г4щ]

Thanks greately

[@mengyangli4723]

Hi teacher, thank you for your explanation. But, I still have a question. Can we use 'should have' or 'shouldn't have' to talk about possibilities? If we can, what does that mean?

[@taliaq903]

I don't think we can

[@CarmellaBrunno]

I'm learning so much w u😌

[@rrajendra]

I could have spoken with British Accent if videos like this were available earlier!

[@hesamvazife5073]

You're the best teacher I've ever seen . I've got a question . Why don't we form the question by adding the inversion ? I might have been killed . Do you think I might have been killed ? OR Might I have been killed ? Do you think if I might have been killed ? Are thy interchangeable ? Thanks a lot .

[@miropribanic5581]

if I may comment....you are indeed using the inversion in your 2nd question: "Might I..."...your 1st question makes use of a question (with to do) plus a "that-clause" where the "that" is omitted; no need to use inversion here (same as in "Do you think that the train is going to be late again?")...your third question, I'm afraid to say, is ungrammatical...the use of "if" does not work here.

[@Nanymcfly1]

You teach very well
