Hi Sir, where can I get the exercises linked to the video? Thank you!

[@advocatehafiznasirmahmood5980]

Please upload more

[@wagnerotto3217]

Thank you for shedding a more intense light on what is really a very complicated subject. The summary is priceless, i.e., state (opinion, state of mind, state of being); dynamic (action).

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Wagner Otto You're very welcome!

[@alessandromori5829]

+MrSkypelessons Hello, this has nothing to do with this lesson, but could you please make a lesson to explain the difference between "you should/shouldn't do something" and "you should/shouldn't be doing something"? Thanks in advance

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Alessandro Cioeta Modal simple V modal continuous? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZfRaHuNd7-JprM

[@alessandrocioeta5865]

+MrSkypelessons Thanks for the link. However I'm not completely sure about the usage of should. For instance, once I was told "You shouldn't be smoking", despite the fact that I wasn't smoking in that moment. The person I was talking to just knew that I was a smoker and he said so. What if he had said "you shouldn't smoke" as a general advice? Wouldn't the sentence have had the same meaning? I'm quite confused.

[@MrSkypelessons]

The person used it incorrectly then. Because it means right now, or at least it very much gives that impression in the continuous aspect.

Please where can I find lessons about < managed to, was-am-will be able, can > thxxx Silvo

[@abdulwali6287]

Wow, super class and the way of lecture, i getting well, please lecture on English Slang,

[@slava_gost]

Good stuff. I just recalled one American saying to me, "I'm not seeing anything" when I asked him if he saw the mouse I saw. My reaction was, "How long?" because I thought I knew the usage of stative verbs. :) We laughed a lot but then he said that I was wrong :)

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Slavik Gost 'I don't/can't see anything' sounds more correct to me, especially in this sense! I think that in everyday life the dynamic usage of stative verbs is rising in both the UK and US.

[@desiderata8553]

​@@MrSkypelessons Your last statement is an excellent conclusion, teacher Dave. Many thanks.

[@jieliu6901]

Thank you for your lessons . It is very useful.

[@advocatehafiznasirmahmood5980]

[@sherifsaleh9021]

[@advocatehafiznasirmahmood5980]

Good lecture my bro

футболка класс! ))

[@jagsirsinghaulakh3786]

sir plz make detail series on infinitive gerund and 3 type of participle and other one about causative verb make get have and cause and wht differnce btwn make and get as causative verb.

[@mailtoandyg]

Could you please answer to the following questions related to your test from the above link? 1) Why the verb "cost" is considered there as a stativ verb only? I understand from this material the opposite. 2) What is wrong with the sentence "She's being very tired at the moment." and why the other one "He's being very naughty today." is correct? Many thanks in advance!

[@lazarelondaridze]

Can you do another lesson on infinitive vs gerund ?

[@englishonly2569]

Thank you, sir. it would be great if you focus on the verb "understand.

[@minsaasad773]

i have a car. if this sentence is linking, what is complement in this sentence please answer

[@abdullahhamly2362]

That is what I need...

[@jagsirsinghaulakh3786]

sir at the time of speaking we must say "i heard that you..?

[@helenakarlsson4708]

I suppose you can't say he's looking german, because "german" is something that is permanent as opposed to, for example, looking ill, which hopefully is not.

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Helena Karlsson Absolutely correct! I think this grammar is very close to the difference between simple (permanent) and continuous (temporary).

[@HangPham-gj4gy]

When someone changes clothes in different style, is it correct to say "You're looking French right now"?

[@DenEz_TV]

It would be cool, if you make your videos 2 times longer and in lower tempo.

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Denrobb Please try my Elementary playlist for slower tempo. This is advanced, and advanced level requires fast reactions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4Wop6xsrtCaopY

[@dmitriyobidin6049]

Should not it be "I heard that you have retired." ?

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Wilkong hear = present simple. heard = past simple. Both are correct.
