[@Sjc-a4861]

Yes

[@maxinelilly8358]

You are an excellent teacher! You know how to simplify so it's understandable. As you start to speak, I start to learn. You waste no time!

[@sudesjaan1156]

"What if" is now added to my long term memory.

[@amitgupta696]

Like your explanation way! You are one of the favourite teacher on line teachers.

[@raad25]

I am from IRAQ thank you for theis Lesson.

[@regiscampos2443]

Very far ! I'm in another side of the planet, in Brazil! Congratulações for your effort to learn english!

[@pssilva3973]

"What if ... " is an English short form to "what [would happen] if ..."

[@Learnamericanenglishonline]

Yes, I think so.

[@Waytozanzibar]

Hello teacher ! I have a question to ask. I can write and read but I cannot speak English automatically. I think a lot about what I wanna be talking, sometimes I get stuck when I talk to people. What should I do so that I can speak English automatically without hesitation ? Please help me sir.

Your teaching method is amazing. In a short video, you deliver all of the required information to the students, contrary to most of the other online teachers who take half an hour of the audience time to teach a simple thing.

If I had never learned English I wouldn't be able to write this comment and say thank you very much for this lesson.

[@Learnamericanenglishonline]

You're welcome, and the sentence you wrote is almost perfect except that you need to put a comma after the word "English" because it marks the end of a dependent clause.

[@mohammedalmosa5435]

Thx very much

[@sharifajasar8653]

Paul thank you very much for the amazing explanation. I stared yellow level. Unfortunately your website has not been working for the last few days. Any good news about fix?

We can't change the past. No matter what has happened. What if we could change it? We would not have mistakes to repair.

[@sowmyareddy7463]

Pls explain how to use' given the fact'

[@BWcapture]

I'm confused by the "What will you do?" vs "What would you do?" I think either can be used. Will = a promise, Would is less than a promise, it's an idea of what you think you would do.

[@cabdallacapdalla4433]

why if your parents kicked you out of home what would you do is it a plausible statement sir

What if you had never learned English? How would your life be different now? My life would probably be worse than it is if I had never learned English.

[@DjangobeatTV]

I teach English. I have noticed that Americans tend to say things like, "What if I wouldn't have..." It actually annoys me! Lol!! Its in films all the time. Dear Americans, Please learn to use the past perfect and mixed conditionals correctly! You're driving me nuts!! Kisses Me.

[@Learnamericanenglishonline]

You're right. They should say, "What if I hadn't..../ What if I had...." and then the past participle follows the helping verb "had."

[@nargisneda9782]

What if I had born in king family.

[@luiz515]

What if I had never learned worked on computer? I´d have never known LAEO.

Hello teacher ! My name is Flavio. I from Brazil! Very good Excellent class

[@stephanestephane4291]

I thought Flavio was an italian name. Is it commun in Brazil ?

[@ЮляМарченко-е8е]

What if + Present simple - it's like real situation? And What if + Past simple - imaginary situation??? Like in conditionals? They sound pretty the same, because what if is already about assumption. What if you forget your keys (what will you do) ? What if you forgot your keys (what would you do) ? What if we buy a house? - It's suggestion???? What if we bought a house? - Assumption????

[@amitgupta696]

Hello Sir, asked many times about All The ,DA,PA and The,DA,PA, Whole . Why we keep Determiners The,PA, DA after ALL & before WHOLE. I want to know logic behind of this. Can you help me to understand this? and order of determiners in sentence. please

[@jagmohanjass1603]

sir which is right sentence according to present tense - what if i told you,you were only one who could do it? or what if i told you ,you are the only one who can do it? which is right sentence? please tell me.

[@vijaykethana]

Can we say the below sentences? "What if he is/was telling the truth?" "What if he has been/had been telling the truth since the beginning?" "What if he hasn't known about it?"

[@letsagreetodisagree1665]

You can.. All examples are correct.. Just speak..

What if I had never stumbled upon this amazing English teaching channel?

[@bebebrave]

Could i use “what about”replace “what if”?

[@ysbh228]

Great efforts. Thank you !

[@landerbazile8097]

Hi my teacher, in the yellow level, I’ve been learning real English but the following exercises can’t be appeared to make the practice.

[@moteahatem1558]

Thank teacher You speak clear accent so I understand that perfect

[@tell-usjournal6949]

Plz explains. Why do you give future time maker at the end of present form of "what if phrase " e.g. what if your alarm clock doesn't go off tommorow morning. Is it ok to use tomorrow morning for present form?

[@sataralanbari9792]

Awesome teacher ever seen b4

[@olgakovaleva8075]

your brief video clarifies everything in this topic

[@12701270able]

Future What if you do... What will you do? Present What if you did....What would you do? Past What if you had done... What/ how would/could you do? What would you have done...? What if you had lived/ were born in the US, you would have been speaking english very well and could have learned spanish, too.

Hello Paul! Thank you so much for the explanation of such an uneasy theme! My examples (I tried doing well): What if the weather is good tomorrow? We will probably have a walk. What if I found $200? I would go to a restaurant. What if I had been born as a bug? I can't have spoken any human language. What if he had never read books? He would have been an unhappy person.

What if I didn’t see this great English episode

[@Learnamericanenglishonline]

Thank-you for your generous compliment. To consider a past possibility, you would say, "What if I hadn't seen this ...." You need to use the past perfect in this instance.
