    You emphasize in your video that the translation of certain modals into our own language is not a good idea and that there is no connection between the use of some modals like "must" ( 13:29 ) ; however, I am a native spanish speaker and have been an English teacher for a long time and I can tell you that you would be surprised how similar they behave. Debe estar enfermo (certainty or better assumption ) vs. Debes hacer tu tarea . ( obligation) ....exact same 2 functions as in Spanish !! ..and that is just one example... it goes on and on ...I could say that more than 80% of the times it is exactly the same thing... We also translate the 6 uses of "can " that you explained exactly the same way in Spanish!! It doesn´t change at all ! Thank you for your video. I liked your approach. For those of you who speak Spanish or want to learn Spanish ....don´t get so mixed up! Use your Spanish translation and you will see how easy it becomes... Bye!

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's great that you've found a helpful pattern of translation! This is not the case for other languages, as they are all quite different, but thank you for sharing and we're so glad you enjoyed the lesson!

    Hii!!!!
    Thank you teachers, i love this
    I started learning English 3 months ago,
    And i would like to know if "could not have" can be used to criticize someone for something that they did
    For example :
    "You could not have done it"
    ( It means that the person did it and they shouldn't have done it )
    Does it work ?? Or am I wrong
    Thank you for your answer !!

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Cintya. We're happy you enjoy the lessons. 'Could' expresses ability. If we say 'couldn't have' that means the person did not have the ability to do it. Hope this helps you! You can learn more in our other lessons, such as this one: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/would-have-could-have-should-have.

  • @whitebirdbelarus4092
    @whitebirdbelarus4092 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for the clear substantial explanation.
    I have a question, however. We used to learn "to be good at sth'. In your video you keep using "to be goos with sth". It is a change in the usage or has a different meaning?

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there. Good question. If you use 'good at' that means you have a talent in a particular area. For example: 'She is good at basketball.' Generally, using 'at' refers specifically to an activity.
      If you use 'good with' it means that you do well with certain things or people. For example, 'She is good with children,' or, 'He is good with animals,' or, 'They are good with computers.' In this situation, it means they do well interacting with these types of people or things.Generally, using 'with' refers to competency with a certain type of person or thing.
      Hope this helps you!
