It is Very interesting presentation. Thank you very much!

This lesson is absolutely on advanced level. I thought that I was already fluent, but after watching this video, I realized I have to dig deep into advanced grammar lessons to really achieve my dream level. Thank you so much! I wish there were more videos like this!

[@annapa5152]

Me too! The same feelings about this video :) My level is quite high but you as we can see: you live and learn!

[@nadineee_12]

@@nadineee_12 Couldn't agree more! Thanks!🤩

[@caroditsky]

Not understanding these concepts doesn’t mean that you aren’t fluent. Fluency means you can express yourself and understand efficiently, not that you have no errors. Many native speakers do not even know the subjunctive exists.

[@lmusima3275]

I’m a native speaker of English and I’m reviewing advanced Italian subjunctive moods. I suggested your videos to my friends learning English

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

Another example of the subjunctive in English is "may" and "might," the respective subjunctive forms of "can" and "could." People use "May I..." when asking for permission, as in "May I open the window?" ("Can I open the window?" literally means "Am I strong enough to open the window?" though many people say this instead of "May I," particularly children.) "May" is also used in the "volitive subjunctive" to express a wish, as in "May you live to the age of 100!" "Lest" is also used with negative subjunctives: "lest it be lost" means "so that it will not be lost" And it's also used with the EXTREMELY rare negative volitive subjunctive--"Lest we forget," which means "May we remember," is the language's only example of this. Another subjunctive expression I like is "On your head be it!" (Which means "If things go wrong, let it be YOUR responsibility!")

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

A bit more about "may" and "might": "It may not happen" means "I don't know that it will happen." "It may happen" means "I don't know that it won't happen." "It may or may not happen" means "I don't know whether it will happen." "It may not have happened" means "I don't know that it happened. "It might not happen" means "I don't know that it would happen." "It might not have happened" means "I don't know that it would have happened."

[@RobertBee-fs8hv]

Right on. I'm a American English speaker and American English speakers will always say, "Can I open the window" when they mean "may I open the window" If some one said, "May i open the window, their listeners would roll their eyes . Nobody says it that way in America

[@antejl7925]

Flawless attention to detail from Miss Lucy. Well done.

[@CatoRenasci]

Very nice. While the subjunctive is indeed falling out of daily use, it is impossible for one to be considered an educated native speaker without mastery of the subjective.

[@dympulls]

YAY! You covered one of my FAVOURITE grammatical topics I love to teach English learners of Spanish. I wish more English teachers would teach this to English learners!

[@gabrielkind2970]

As an english speaker learning Spanish, this was incredibly helpful. It's used a lot in Spanish, but was completely invisible to me in english until you pointed it out.

[@mxxxyxx01]

Explains so well! Thank you!

[@MsSpiffz]

Watching this as I would find it SO much easier to understand Portuguese grammar, the language I'm learning, if I knew what we do in English!

[@katykelly4375]

Hello Lucy, I love your videos! I am a Spanish teacher and a few years ago I showed my class a video that you and a man made together, it was a skit where you were speaking only in subjunctive sentences, you were married and kind of talking off to the side for the viewers. I cannot find it now, I love it and want to show it to high school Spanish students. Could you please direct me to the video? Thank you.

[@juancastillotorres7711]

Lucy, thank you for being my teacher for about five years. I've learned a lot from you.

On the surface, English seems like an easy language to learn, but the more you dive into it, the more you realise how complicated and tricky (and of course how beautiful😃) it can be.

[@ct7931]

Yessss, my favourite topic !!! I wish we were taught more about that at school, since it sounds elegant and it is quite rewarding when you manage to place it in a conversation. I thought I knew quite a lot already but you proved me wrong. I did learn some new expressions. Heaven forbid the subjunctive actually fall out of use !
