All gratitude to you. Wasn't aware of these contractions yet. But you've made it easy by explaining them how they are used and made. I made it through to the end and got to know them !!!!😊
The teaching is par excellence but your eyes gestures and face expressions are very cute and adorable. One falls in love with you - at first sight so to speak.
It's delighting, I couldn't pronounce some of the contractions, it's quite hard, I haven't practiced them all yet. I'll've a shot by now. You're the best teacher I've ever met! ❤
I'm taken aback by these contraction 'coz I've never met them before . I always wondered why i can't hear "not" but now I finally know the whole truth. 🤔🤨 At least I hope so 🤣🤣
Hello Max, very interesting video, it's the first time that I hear an explanation about these double contractions. I don't use them because it's really not natural for me. I learned something today, thanks Max.
Hi Max it's good to see you It's the first time I've seen these contractions. This video was very helpful, thank you very much Have a great weekend my beautiful teacher 😉🇧🇷 stay home and take care
Some additional thoughts from a native speaker that might be useful for learners: Most of these contractions use "have" at the end, this isn't a coincidence. In my experience, most people who say "couldn't've" or similar contractions out-loud, generally think about it as two words: "couldn't" and "have". "h" is a pretty weak letter in English, especially at the start of words (it's silent in words like "hour", "herb", "honor", etc.), so it's very natural to just leave it off when we're speaking quickly. Writing it like "couldn't've" is uncommon for this reason, because most people still think of it as multiple words. One trend that seems to be more common recently, though it's still considered a mistake, is using "of" instead of "'ve" in these constructions. This is because the word "of" sounds nearly the same in fast speech as the contraction does. For instance: "couldn't of", "shouldn't of", etc. You will see this a lot, especially online, so it's good to know that it's not anything different from the normal double contractions. Another way you might see these written out is with the letter "a", like "couldn't-a, shouldn't-a", etc., but this is pretty uncommon outside of fiction writing when people want to convey accents. "coulda" and "shoulda" are more common though. A final note: almost all of these contractions are only used when "have" is being used as a grammatical indicator of the past tense, not when you're saying that you possess something. We would say "I wouldn't've done that if I were you.", but not "I wouldn't've a sandwich if I ate it already." I believe the same rule applies for "'ve" in single contractions, though in British English you do see that sometimes. "I've not a clue." sounds very British to my ears.
It was a pleasure discover this channel!!, clarity, useful, accurately, Max is lovely and funny, if that weren´t enough this accent i love it. Good job!! New subscribed to learn. Thanks!!
Thank you so much Max for making video on my request, lots of love from India. One more request please make series of videos of expressions or phrases to imitate non-native speakers and leave some time to imitat in your videos.
I notice that I use about half of these double contractions. The real divergence is when a contraction uses both n't and 've. I lack a set standard for saying "couldn't've" either going for "couldn't have" or "could not've" the 'not have" contraction is inconsistent
Hi Max, wonderful video! I'll've sounds exactly like I love, right? And she'll''ve exactly like she love (not she loves) In general, 'll've sounds like love.
I don't know what it is, but I find contractions (double or more) to be so much fun. Here's one: Y'all'll: You all will. "Y'all'll need to get a ticket to ride the train".
Thanks for this useful video, Max! Frankly I haven't heard about double contractions so far. Shame on me! I'm now one of your followers in TH-cam as well. ❤
Very late on my part, sorry. Double contractions don't tend to translate into text as they're seen as "beyond" unformal if that makes any sense? But if it's a text or just on the internet and not a more formal situation you _could_ use them stylistically.
I found a very peculiar double contraction after years of advanced fluency in the languange (mainly informal, regarding a native english speaker accent) and it kinda shocked me I'd never heard of it. It's built-in the sentence "Where'd'll I come from?" I don't really know what it means in the phrase though I get the message. Anyone out there to help me out?
@@EnglishwithMax exactly, but I heard it and also saw it written in the captions... well, it might as well be some kind of mistake made by that one (probably a neologism of one's mind)
Was that correct for speaking? I learn contractions thru rap but the problem is ,long story short when I spoke with non-native speakers I used them and they couldn't understand the real english contractions, do I use just for speaking with native?
Yes, it might be better just to use them with natives or with people with a fairly advanced level. (In any case, you don't *need* to use them - it's just important to understand them.)
Hi Max! I’m sorry for being off topic. I’ve just read that article about the engineer you sent via email. Ha ha… I believe the court decision is absolutely unjust and should have been overruled. Breaking wind is against the law! There is little doubt in my mind that this deliberate action is a serious offence which must be punished accordingly. Feel really sorry for the bloke : )

I DON'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH, I AM STUDIES IN HINDI MEDIUM SCHOOL, FROM INDIA, CAN I AM LEARNING ENGLISH, BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL UNDERSTANDING ANY LANGUAGE FOR MEANING OF YOUR OWN LANGUAGE, PLEASE HELP ME, I AM DEPRESSED FOR THAT, SOMETIMES I WAS CRYING, WHY I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING, THIS IS SECOND LANGUAGE FOR ME, YOU ARE SPEAKING ENGLISH LANGUAGE VERY WELL BECAUSE YOU ARE LIVING IN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY, THAT'S THE REASON FOR NON SPEAKING ENGLISH LANGUAGE COUNTRY AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE COUNTRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU TELL ME, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
I'm very sorry to hear that. I know that learning a language can be very frustrating. Just work on it a little bit every day (even if it's only your listening) and you will improve. But you need to be consistent and patient. All the best!
I just discovered this while messing around, I was writing “I have not” and realized “why not i’ven’t” and now I’m sucked into this rabbit hole
English is my first language and I’ve never been taught this. Yet use it all the time! Thanks so much for this
I'm delighted coz You taught this kinda lesson that I don't sometimes understand while I was studying
All gratitude to you. Wasn't aware of these contractions yet. But you've made it easy by explaining them how they are used and made. I made it through to the end and got to know them !!!!😊
Glad it was helpful!

I always forget I use these, it's interesting seeing how non native speakers think of a language.
THIS LESSON IS A MUST!!
It's delighting, I couldn't pronounce some of the contractions, it's quite hard, I haven't practiced them all yet. I'll've a shot by now. You're the best teacher I've ever met! ❤

Thank you for your insights. I'm an English teacher and I do need to learn more about American English.
Luckily it's easier to grasp it in context. Still native speakers can be hard to follow when speaking between themselves. Thanks for your great video.
Haha, yes, the context definitely helps! (Even for native speakers ;-).)

And thanks!

Hello, I've never seen these triple constructions on the text, are these using only in speaking?
Yes, it's spoken language. You might *occasionally* see them in subtitles or dialogue in books, but we basically never write them.
@@EnglishwithMax excuse me, I mean contraction🤦, thanks for answer
Don't worry, I understood :).

Hello!
I'm not sure if that's correct...
It would either be "Where did will I" or "Where had will I", and neither of those make sense... 😕

All of those are correct - it depends on the context. ;)
Are those American or British contractions or both? Thank you

Btw, your English is excellent!
@@EnglishwithMax Mmm... happy to hear that : ) Thank you!
Morning,
I'll've sounds as in "l LOVE"
The pronunciation is the same or it's simply similar?????
It's very similar :)
Again 1st ma'am 😂😂
:D
@@EnglishwithMax Thank you ma'am I am one of a big fans of you😍😍😍😍
your earrings look like my favorite candy: nestles polo
You are lovely Australian
Excuse me, I have a doubt; in the third example, refered to “he" would "have”, shouldn’t it use "has” instead?
If we put a verb after "would", we always use the base form (infinitive).
- He would go
- She would have
etc.
I hope that helps! :)
do native speakers often use this double contraction in their daily speaking?
Yes, quite often :)
from USA or england?
@@codig895 Both
Mother of God, this is hard to pronounce. Thanks for the video.
any triple contractions?
There are a few, but they're not very common :D. (Except for imma and y'all'd've, which are used quite a lot in the US.)
