Using INVERSION with CONDITIONALS - C1 Advanced (CAE) Essential Grammar

[@SMASHEnglish]

I have helped hundreds of people pass their B2 First exam at no cost, and I would LOVE to keep it that way. Of course, I still have to maintain a full time job while running this channel, and BELIEVE ME, I spend the majority of my free time writing, recording, editing and publishing videos. I love doing this, but I would love it even more if I could do it for a living! If every student that PASSED their exams bought one beer for Bruce I’d be able to do this full time. That would be MARVELLOUS! So, if you’ve PASSED your B2 First exam, and feel that SMASH English really helped, please consider donating here: www.buymeacoffee.com/SMASHEnglish This is not an obligation. One of the fantastic things about SMASH English is that it is free for everyone that needs it! This will not change. However, if you do feel you can say thanks with a little bit of money then that’s fantastic. Thank you all! Toby.

You are the best Tobby!! I've just taken the b2 first exam and i'm sure that if I pass it, it will be thanks to you! Now I would like to start preparing the C1 and I hope you make more videos of it! You deserve a donation!

[@duanyferreira5401]

[@zenchiassassin283]

First conditional: If I pass my exam I'll make sure to thank you for your dedication. -> Should I pass my exam I'll make sure to thank you for your dedication. Second conditional: If I were rich, I would build a research center. -> Were I rich, I would build a research center. Third conditional: If I hadn't followed you, I wouldn't have learned such grammar point. -> Had I not followed you, I wouldn't have learned such grammar point.

[@brianna4657]

Had I known the existence of your channel before, I wouldn't have struggled with inversions for so long! Thanks!

[@娆娆焦]

Had I not found your channel, I would have been so nervous for the next week. Were I to find this channel earlier, I would feel less pressure now.

[@cinthiakellyaruquipaeyzagu669]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You are creative and funny. Congratulations!

[@SMASHEnglish]

🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you!!!

[@gemavianeybecerrilescamill6313]

Hi, Toby! Hope you're doing great! I told you some weeks ago that I sit the FCE exam. I haven't gotten my grades until February 18th, I guess. I'm pretty sure I'll pass the FCE because you helped me a lot! But I feel like it's time for me to prepare for the C1, I don't know if it's too early or not but I really want to sit the CAE as soon as I am enough prepared. So, I'll be writing down some comments on every video about the C1 exam, sorry not sorry, hahaha. Hugs from Mexico!

[@moler195]

I put the inversion in the writing and in the speaking. Toby!!! In the part 2 of speaking c1 when the examiners ask you: In which of these pictures......?You can say:Were I to choose i'd say.FREEE POINTS

[@parveshsharma3222]

Could you please recommend me some KZbinrs with a rp accent?

[@m.s.6118]

I just found this amazing channel and it's exactly what my ADHD potato brain needed xD. I hope you still keep making videos. Cheers!

[@SMASHEnglish]

HAHA! Great to hear! 🤩

[@marixandrade]

Hi, Toby! I have been watching your videos and I must admit that it helped me a lot. However I have already taken the FCE and I was kind of nervous and very anxious so I suppose that I don’t pass ;’( could tell me some of the kinds which probably shows to people that they reproved? Thank so much, you’re amazing!!!!

[@SMASHEnglish]

Hey Mariana! I am not sure I have understood your question! Why do you think you haven't passed? I am sure you have!

[@lenalee5516]

"and this is why i teach my own language" 😂

[@diba8845]

Can't wait for you to get 10.000 followers, love your videos🥳🧡😆

[@SMASHEnglish]

Thanks, Diba! I'll get there eventually 😂

[@TheSason666]

It is still so actual !!!

[@marsel8718]

I did know this grammar structure but I was so nervous or maybe unprepared to be under exam conditions that I couldn’t use it. So pay attention that you know all of them by heart and can use them unconsciously. PS, Toby, is it any chance that you make a video about psychological aspects of taking the exam?

[@anabelvasquezcedre7250]

You are the best Toby

[@SMASHEnglish]

Thank you, Anabel!

[@emiliavizireanu1230]

[@SMASHEnglish]

That's great to hear! So happy I can make this interesting for you!

[@rafal9ck817]

5:27 Is "have" correct there? Why?

[@NorthStar48]

"He'd have a lot to do." he'd = he would in this case

[@SMASHEnglish]

@@NorthStar48 yes thanks, Polaris! The contraction here is ‘would’ and not ‘had’, so the subsequent verb must be an infinitive.

[@rafal9ck817]

Thanks.

[@the_whosan]

I wasn't used to this structure. 👍🏻

[@samin21]

Hello sir I am asking about location inversion I know we can not use inversion 'in the subordinate clause But i found some examples:------- 1 George Du Maurier, "On which 'there' stood a stately maid", 2. Here is what "there stood under the headline "- Cold Start Emission Reduction System Monitor. Temperatures Used.... Please reply me sir these are correct or Not Please reply 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@gabrielfonsec]

I just did the FCE, but a wrote the second text in the second page instead of the third. Is there any problem?

[@SMASHEnglish]

The writing is marked by hand, so I wouldn't worry about it, Gabriel, you should be fine!

[@tereoregel1927]

I just love it.

[@SMASHEnglish]

Thanks, Tere!

Should I pass my exam, you'll get a coffee from me. Were I to say what I like most about your channel, I'd mention Monica. Had you decided against starting a KZbin channel, hundreds of students would possibly have failed their exams.

What if I were to inverse this sentence: If I could choose where to work today...

"Were I able to choose where to work today..."
