[@omarreda3103]

That was great .Thanks

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

So glad you liked it Omar.

[@poomtanawat6001]

Thanks. But I confuse about Jay didn't go to sale meeting (I think Jay can use had hoped too because lastly jay didn't go I think about this and my result is "had hoped" use for things you hope and "wish + past perfect" use with complaining maybe? So that the reason for can't use had hoped) Did I get it right?

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi Poom! Thanks for this question. In the example, the sales meeting hasn't happened yet. Jay didn't know about the meeting so he arranged to play tennis. When he hears about the meeting he realizes he'll have to go to it. He's annoyed that I didn't tell him about it earlier because now he'll have to change his plans. That's why he says "I wish Vicki had told me about the sales meeting". Does that help?

[@poomtanawat6001]

Thanks Vicky. of course This really help me. I read this and spend time to understand it. I summarize it like this : use wish with things that you want but it isn't want from past but it is want when it already happen so it can't happen anymore but had hoped use with want from past but didn't happen so it can't happen too (in most situation) . these 2 can't happen in a different way right?

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Great job Poom.

[@hanoonaz881]

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Welcome to our channl. We're delighted you've found us.

[@MaryHovsepian-iq3by]

Hi ,really thanks

[@annaanna-oy9kh]

Thank you for very useful and iteresting video. You solved my problem because I was not sure if it was correct to use future tense after will. However I have a question about I am hoping because I was tought it is incorrect structure because hope is stative verb. Could you please explain it. Thank you.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hello anna anna. Great question and well done you for spotting that 'I am hoping' example. Yes, normally stative verbs like wish and hope don't have a continuous form, but notice I said normally. :-) If a speaker wants, then can add an -ing and make them dynamic. Here's a nice explanation that I found here: english.stackexchange.com/questions/187261/stative-verbs-in-the-continuous-form Yes, the general 'rule' is that stative verbs don't have a continuous form; however, some stative verbs can also function as dynamic verbs. Let's take your examples: wish, feel, hope, guess, love and like.This Christmas, thousands of children are wishing for peace. (Here wishing has a dynamic thrust.)He was feeling my face. ([F]eeling here is examining something by touching)She was hoping that he would come back one day. (Perhaps hoping sounds odd to some here. This could be a continuous period, e.g., a month, a year, several years.)Colloquially, like, love, and guess are sometimes used in a continuous aspect. FumbleFingers has already given an example for like.I'm guessing you didn't know. (This is found often in speech, but perhaps not in writing.)I'm loving this hamburger. (Very similar to liking but more emphatic)In summary: to paraphrase Quirk et al. (A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language), it's not that stative verbs are incompatible with the progressive but that when they are used this way they have taken on a dynamic quality.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Oh and just in case you're interested, we have made a video about sense verbs and how we can use them as stative and dymanic verbs that you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGrSn6qanJVkhKM

[@annaanna-oy9kh]

@@SimpleEnglishVideos wow that is an amazing answer. Thank you. I set the goal to watch all you videos. There are many of them so I have been very busy recently:) Once again thank you.

[@amaridecalabria7036]

I love Carter :-)

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

So does Jay, Amaride. I'd say I have more of a love-hate relationship with him, especially when the postman comes.

[@gulak7450]

Thanks very much i got it

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

That's good to hear Gulsum. Thanks for writing.

[@raed2178]

It's a funny thing to combine bloopers at the end of the video. 😂

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Ah yes. Carter provides us with plenty of outtakes. :-)

[@wanchenxie8235]

Hi Vick and Jay, I am fan of Simple English Videos and I like it very much.But it has troubled me for a long time that I can not find a place to discuss English problems with others when I can not handle it by myself.For example, when my English teacher assigned me an essay,I have no idea about how to write and write excellently. So I hope you can afford us a place for discussing.^_^

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hello Wanchen. KZbin only provides these message boards I'm afraid, so if you want to create threads that others can respond to, you'll need to use another platform. You might like Simor.org or maybe Facebook?

[@wanchenxie8235]

Thank you !

[@Mcb35366fggj]

Dear Vicky and Jay, nice to meet you. Im Jonas from Singapore. I really love your English videos, as it really helped me in my PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examimation). I started to gain confidence in my English every time I see your videos!

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

SierraJoFox, that is so important for us to know. We create these videos for people just like you - people who want to learn English or need to learn English for school or work. Thanks for writing to us and thank you for watching our videos.

[@mariellaferrari9981]

Hello, Vicki and Jay, nice to meet you, I'm Mariella, from Italy, and as I'm an elderly student, I'd like to follow your lessons. I found you in the mmmEnglish channel, so I thank you for your posts !!

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hello Mariella and welcome! We're delighted to have you with us. Thanks for writing!

What is the different between compulsory and compulsive

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

If something is compulsory you must do it because there's a rule or a law. If a person is compulsive, they can't control their behaviour. They find it difficult to stop doing something. For example, someone could be a compulsive gambler or drinker.

[@husseinslavethepoor8294]

Hi, Gulsum Aksakal , in your sentence , use difference instead of different because, different is an adjective,whereas, difference is a noun.

[@gulak7450]

Hussein slave The poor thanks a lot

[@anilbishtanil866]

I wish, I'd known about this earlier.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Ha! Great example. Thanks Anil. :-)

[@maanomalik3417]

After if only must be past perfect ?

[@ДомРаздоры]

If only I hadn't been nervous on my FCE Exam. I feel really bad at the moment.

[@helen2961]

That is my only problem in English. Be sure. I have nothing else to worry. I speak England very best.

[@mollietai8946]

1) I was hoping/hoped you would come earlier. 2) I had hoped you would come sooner. 3) I wish you had come faster. 4) If only you had come earlier/sooner/faster.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

They're all perfect examples Mollie. Great job!

[@gulak7450]

Hi i can't understand as in different situations if only you made video about it

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi Gulsum. I'm afraid I don't understand. Can you explain further?

[@gulak7450]

How we use "as"in different meaning. It is hard to me to understand clearly all different meaning. If you help me i would be happy

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Thanks for the suggestion Gulsum.

[@agustinmartinez9589]

Hi Vicki, I love your videos and I think you and Jay are a nice couple! I had been thinking if you have a pdf with all grammar and everything like a guide from beginning to advanced. I lost a little in this video because is too much for my level 🤣🤣 but you get me time 🤣😄 Of course, check me this comment. Thank you so much for all Regards from Spain 😘😘

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hello Agustin. Thanks for this idea. We're working on an audio book that will cover lots of basic grammar. I wonder if that will help.
