Hi Fran! I'm so glad you liked the video! I don't know very much about the Duolingo English test, but I will do a bit of research and add the video to my list! 😊🌻
Hello madam, sorry for bothering you. I hear native speakers using different tenses to refer to an alternative to doing something. Like, You pay money to learn it when you "could be learning" it for free. / when you can learn it for free/ when you could learn it for free. You waste your time when you could be working/can work/could work. Which one should I use?
Hi Akshat, I’ve never really thought about that before! Now that I do, these are my thoughts: You use the present simple to describe the situation because you are presenting factual information - ‘you pay money to learn it’, and the present continuous, ‘could be doing’ to express possibility.
@@EnglishWithEm Thanks a bunch madam! So, can I say "I could be speaking my native language but I want to speak English so that I can practice. ". Does that make sense?
I'm sorry you didn't like the video, but I assure you, the information is accurate. There is no misleading content. I have been teaching this level for many years and have worked as a Cambridge speaking examiner in the past. The examples given are absolutely appropriate for B1 learners who are ready to take the exam.

Always a pleasure! You're right, it's a slightly odd dynamic not being able to see any of my students. It's a funny world we live in!
@@EnglishWithEm it's like teaching spirits or ghosts 👻👻

Sorry, it is all misleading.:the.letters are too small and the lay out is untidy.This is not for learners of B1speaking.
