Hi, Mark and Kat. Thanks very much for your simple, straightforward and easy-to-understand teaching. I have learned a lot from you. I will definitely keep watching your videos!
I want to improve my English by watching all your future episodes 😊 I hope that next year will be more enjoyable I would like to spend more time on doing something healthy I wish I could find a new place to live
I want to listen to all your High Level Listening podcasts in the New Year 2025. It would be good for my speaking skills. and Thank you! My best wishes to you in 2025
You guys are doing really amazing. It’s really useful. I love it. I keep watching your videos and grabbing as much as I can. I’m in Stoke on Trent Mate 😊😊😊
Kat and Mark, Happy 2025! Full of love and everything coming as a consecquence. That phrase, 'I wish I was....' heheh, gave me some trouble when studing english decades ago, the teachers got mad at me since the correct way was, 'I wish I were...' Time changes, and so the languages . Hugs and best wishes. Thanks again.
Amazing lesson. This is what I've been looking for. I hope you could make a video about the difference between using present continuous and the structure Be going to + V-inf when talking about what we do in the future. And the simple future as well. I've watched tons of videos about this but still am not confident and sure when to use them. Thank you a lot as always ❤
i hope you have fantastic new year dear teachers !!!! thank so much for you extraordinary help i hope the next year follow learning together again !!! from chile !!! enjoy !!!
Dear Kat & Mark! Thank you for being with us this year, for your hard work! I wish that in the new year you will have even more grateful students all over the world. Let the Love live in your families and your dreams come true. HAPPY NEW 2025 YEAR!!!❤❤🎉🎁💰💰🎁
Hey that's awesome! I can clearly see here how we should use each wish , dream and hope correctly. However, I still have a question on the phrase that " if i had more time, i would spend the holidays with my family ". Can that be a new year resolution or a regret or sorrow that he did not have time?
Oo good question. "If I had more time, i would spend the holidays with my family." is a 2nd conditional about changing the present. If you wanted to make a sentence about a *past* regret, you need to change it a little bit to be a mixed conditional (2nd + 3rd). - "If I had more time, I [would have spent] the holidays with my family." There is a more formal version of the 3rd conditional as well. - "If I [had had] more time, I [would have spent] the holidays with my family." I hope that makes sense!
Thank you for the videos. I wonder if such structures as 'It is necessary/important /essential /required (that) she (should) buy it. They suggest/require/recommend (that) he (should) learn it. are used ❤
Hello! To be honest that structure feels quite dated now. Perhaps the last time I heard it was in an old Christmas movie from the 60s or 70s. So while I understand it and am aware of it, in both writing and speaking these days, we conjugate the verbs as though they are in the present, for example: - It's really important that she buy[s] it. - It's required that he know[s] how to drive a truck. I hope that makes sense!
Dear Mark and Kat. You both became my English friends! I really like your channel and your videos! Thank you so much for your job. I wish your next year will be filled with joy, happiness and success! See you next year! 🎉

Sure! Both sentences are fine to use. 😊 We say "I hope this year is better than last year" because it feels more immediate-like we’re talking about right now and hoping it’s already better or continues to be. If you say "I hope this year will be better than last year," it focuses more on the future, like you’re looking forward to what’s coming. So, both are correct! It just depends on whether you want to focus on the present or the future.
Hi, Mark and Kat. Thanks very much for your simple, straightforward and easy-to-understand teaching. I have learned a lot from you. I will definitely keep watching your videos!
We're so glad you're enjoying the lessons!

You’re right, languages are always evolving, and even “native” speakers don’t always agree on what’s correct!

Thank you for the videos. I wonder if such structures as 'It is necessary/important /essential /required (that) she (should) buy it. They suggest/require/recommend (that) he (should) learn it. are used ❤
It is called the Suppositional mood, isn't it?
Hello! To be honest that structure feels quite dated now. Perhaps the last time I heard it was in an old Christmas movie from the 60s or 70s. So while I understand it and am aware of it, in both writing and speaking these days, we conjugate the verbs as though they are in the present, for example:

Very cool! Those goals sound very exciting and rewarding (especially the 2nd one😅)

Great sentence and grammar! You're already well on your way to improving!
Anyone from Bangladesh??
But why do you say,"i hope this year is better than last year." Why [is]? What about (will be better than)?
Sure! Both sentences are fine to use. 😊
We say "I hope this year is better than last year" because it feels more immediate-like we’re talking about right now and hoping it’s already better or continues to be.
If you say "I hope this year will be better than last year," it focuses more on the future, like you’re looking forward to what’s coming.
So, both are correct! It just depends on whether you want to focus on the present or the future.
I would realy like improve my pronoutiation in english
We wish you all the best! Keep up the great work and we know you can do it!
I want to be fluent in English😅
Great! Break it down into smaller steps, and hopefully you can achieve your goal!
