This is one of the (few) times in which I can actually feel proud of myself, as I am using a very similar technique to teach conditionals to my students! So happy that it matches yours! Please, keep making inspiring videos for both students and teachers! You're awesome. Thanks a lot.

If I had a teacher like you, it would be very plain to learn English If I had watched this video previously, I wouldn't have still confused in the conditionals lesson Thanks Christian!
Hi, I am Maria Elena, I don't understand the English, but with your lessons I'm getting better, in this year I wish learn the English language 😍 I'm studying very hard for that. Thank you for your lessons , as you teach is very simple.
0 conditional: true 1st conditional: probable 2nd conditional: imaginary things that didn't happen 3rd conditional: things that happened in the past but now it's too late to change them.
This is a really helpful concept to apply in learning conditional clauses. I'm a native English speaker, so I can use conditionals instinctively. However, it's good to remind myself why I know what to do!
You're great (my conditional will.....) !!!! Thanks for your time because you are changing the world giving the possibility to everyone to learn English !
After this video and your conditional explanation, I declare you are the best English teacher ever! Thank you Christian and by the way... Merry Christmas to you and all the classmates!
Very many thanks for your utmost accurate explanations!! They're a huge help. For Spanish speakers we usually resort to similar structures in our native language. Conditionals in Spanish are similar (never exactly the same, though) to their English equivalents. Thus, we learn/teach them contrastively. Wish you all the best!!
Zero: If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils 1st: If I buy a camera, I could take amazing photos. (possibility, likely to happen) 2nd: If I bought a camera, I would take amazing photos. (hypothetical situacion, unlikely) 3rd: If I had bought a camera, I would've taken amazing photos. (imagined past) Mixed: If I had bought a camera, I would take amazing photos. (present result of a past action: I bought a camera, so now I can take amazing photos) (Are those sentences correct?)
Hello! I am a teacher, and I am really happy and confident following your classes, you are the first 'canguro" i subscribed LoL . THANK YOU! STILL CONDITIONALS DIFFICULT >>>>LOL
Christian!!!! OMG.... If I had died today I wouldn’t have learned that “would” is the past of “will”. I’m serious. I didn’t know that! Now it’s easy to understand! Thank you very much!!!!!!
Amazing teacher, I've studied this subject at least three times or more and always that was overwhelmed and any sense made for me. Till now, then this man explains this so easy and clear. By the way, you are a very positive person, I remember the video when you made a stroll to the river and at the end did stop in order to drink a beer, after all the river could wait. Regards friend!
Zero:-If you do exercise you shed weight. If you take the medicine you get well. 1st If India wins the semifinal we would go and watch the final. 2nd:- If had money I would travelled to Spain to meet Mr. Christian. 3rd Conditional :- If India had won the semifinal we would have gone to watch the final. If You had called me I would have arrived there. If you had watered the plants they wouldn't have peridhed
Hi dear Christian, you said "If you would like to see any more videos then don't forget to subscribe." Is it correct? Is it colloquial English? Thanks! Bye
Christian, your channel is the best one for me. You always have interesting thing (often it is scientific and useful things), which you talk about fascinatingly. Your speech is adopted for my level of English...So, I am on cloud nine, that I found your channel here! All the best for you!!!
If you practice conditionals, you learn them. If you practice conditionals, you will learn them. If you practiced conditionals, you would learn them. If you had practiced conditionals, you would've learned them.
BTW, when you pronounce FOURTH it sounds almost like FIRST. Hope you don't mind my saying so. The least I want is to offend you in any way. I'm deeply sorry if I have.
If you see Dead Poets Society, truth, you hear Robin Williams saing the phrase Carpe Diem. But whether you hear Carpe Diem it's probably you will believe that it means live the present, and not the opposite which is seize the day. Now, unless you believed the opposite which is improbably, you would understand the actual meaning of the phrase. That is, if you had understud the meaning of the phrase, which is impossible, you would had known seize the day instead just seing movies.
I don't believe this. I had a lot difficulty understanding the conditionals, but you were so incredible giving this explanation that everything became so easy and simple now. One question: I also have difficulties with "I wish" . Could I use them on time line too or not? You could one day make a class of this topic so easy how was the conditional? Thank you. I apologize to you for my English but I've been studying alone for a year, so you'll see some mistakes.
Carpe Diem is also used to meant seize an opportunity. I fully agree with your explanation and statement but I guess we all use Conditionals and Mixed Conditionals in our native language as well but we don't have troubles using it. It all comes down to us naturally. What I want to say is that we can also learn Conditionals through our native language. Conditionals are real headache for many non native English speakers, especially the third and fourth types of Mixed Conditionals. We can learn Conditionals effectively if we use it everyday. Why we can use all Conditionals effectively in our native language but not in English. It is because I guess we don't use English in our everyday life. This is what makes Conditionals a real headache and hard to grasp. Your explanation and statement is clear and perfect. Cheers to you!
If all my english teachers had explained this topic as you did, I wouldn't have problems with it for a long long time. Is it correct? Christian you are the best, I love your lessons and the way you smile (and teach).
If i had studied i would HAVE passed... Why u said that there is PASTperfect in the both parts if the second part (with HAVE) is in the PRESENT perfect??
i think the reason is that natives think about present perfect as a past tense (something has happend), and both tenses are perfect tenses, that's why he mentioned it as both past and perfect.
Thank u so much 4 ur doings. Ur lessons r really awesome. But it will be a little better if u use the same example (sentence) 4 all these tenses to make the difference in the grammar structure more understandable. Coz 4 example 4 Russians this is almost the hardest topic ever. We have such a different tools to express it 🤷♀️😭
If i would have known this method before i had been fluent English speaker by now. Thanks for taking time and let us know this amazing and easy way to drill in conditional sentences.
It is my first time, watching one of your videos: woooooooooooooow I have really liked and enjoyed it, a lot ! ... I got it ! I´m happy because I understood everything about conditionals. If I had found you before, I would have known how to use the conditionals in some embarrassing situations I had. On the other hand, I love your British accent (Aussie one). Greetings (Saludos) from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, South America... G' day, mate!
Is it If I were you or if I was you ?... I heard natives speaking both of them, but I am supposed to know which one is right or even which one is more polite
Thanks for these great information , but I have a question. You said in modal verbs class that would is not past for will, is it?? I have got confused1
hi Christian, in this lesson you have not forgotten to tell me that you like pizza, but have you forgotten what day it is? ..... or is it always the best day of the week? Thanks for your lessons!!
(7:02) "If I HAD studied, I would HAVE passed." I think that in your examples, the auxliary verb "have" pronounced in an emphatic way underlined the time past. Am right? if were it the opposite? "If I had STUDIED, I would have PASSED."? What kind of information that conveys?
Hi Mauro! There is no necessity to use intonation in the ways you suggested above. You can say it however you want! Obviously how you intone will bring emphasis onto certain words, but this doesn't affect the meaning.
Thanks, Chrisrian for "the conditional timeline" and the" carpe diem". It very good to know that carpe diem means more than to live to the present day. It means we have to do most on the present day for that reaching our future aim. This is the second lesson where you explain to us the conditionel. In the first you spoke about the mixed conditionel which was a novum for me, as even the tests expect from us to use these four forms. But the mixed form is also very frequent. For example I can say my friend this sentence who would like to o o the oarty. "I would go to the party if they had sent an invitation to me. Sorry, they sent me any nvitation that's why I don't go with you."
Yes, you can substitute any verb in the apodosis of a conditional with any modal verb. And then this creates the so-called 'mixed conditional', as per your example. It's weird, but as you say it's really common!
Thanks, Christian.
If all people were like you we would live in a better world.
Thanks Elena, that's very kind.
True mate, he's awesome, I'd like to live in Spain just to learn from him
if the tutor is so great teaching, there will be excellent students. simplicity is the way to wisdom . bless you canguro english.
I agree.... the best teacher in the world! Thank you, Christian!
I'm just reviewing this amazing class with this temporal line in order to not forget conditional never again, thank youuuu my dear teacher
Briliant this theacher. If I had studied with him,I would have learned English
If I had known your classes before, I wouldn't have struggling to learned English
Brilliant! I will use this to teach my students :-)
What about mixed conditionals.... ?
This is one of the (few) times in which I can actually feel proud of myself, as I am using a very similar technique to teach conditionals to my students! So happy that it matches yours! Please, keep making inspiring videos for both students and teachers! You're awesome. Thanks a lot.
Wonderful !
Thanks a lot Christian.
If I hadn't watched this video, I wouldn't have learnt to use the coditional.
Now it is all easy peasy.
Fabio elettrico we have similar minding) I wrote same way=D
I never use this expression " easy peasy" ,it means super easy doesn't it?
Jessica miro ortiz
Yes it does. You could say also "easy peasy lemon squeeze" 😀😀 It sounds a little childish but who cares.
Bye Jessica
Easy peasy lemon squeezy! What a great expression!!!!
Thanks Christian. 😊

It is really logical, simple and understandable. Congratulations!
Thanks Ivan! I try my best!
Superb method to learn and apply conditionals in English. Thank you very much Christian.
Thanks, that's very kind!
Stunning! Conditionals are one of my nightmares, in English grammar! But you made them very simple to understand. Many thanks teacher
Thanks Pasquale, I really hope it helps you!
Yes, of course! All your classes help me! Thanks again Christian
listen!!! I am convinced...was teaching this day and this is the perfect video and the closing line even more perfect, thank you Christian!!!
Thanks 🤯🔥 High quality content

Thanks teacher it is a brilliant trick .

I also love a real chalkboard opposed to the toxic dry board.
This structure is so helpful to remember the main idea to express the conditions in all tenses. Probable , true and improbable .
Yes, I think it really helps! I am a very visual person so this type of thing helps me a lot.

Hello. Why didn't you say "If you use conditionals every day, you have amazing English"? Isn't it the truth?
If all my english teachers had explained this topic as you did, I wouldn't have problems with it for a long long time.
Is it correct?
Christian you are the best, I love your lessons and the way you smile (and teach).

i think the reason is that natives think about present perfect as a past tense (something has happend), and both tenses are perfect tenses, that's why he mentioned it as both past and perfect.
I am preparing my demo class, and I will taking your words as an example to teach this topic to the students. Thanks a lot my dear teacher.
The greatest teacher!
Thank u so much 4 ur doings. Ur lessons r really awesome. But it will be a little better if u use the same example (sentence) 4 all these tenses to make the difference in the grammar structure more understandable.

Sir kindly explain active and passive with sub + verb + obj + extra phrase. I am bit confused with Extra phrase. Where to place in passive voice
You are the BEST in english teaching. If i learned phrasal verbs and conditionals it's thanks to you.
If i would have known this method before i had been fluent English speaker by now. Thanks for taking time and let us know this amazing and easy way to drill in conditional sentences.
Great class!!! Never any teacher taught me this easy way to learn conditionals.
Thank you, Christian.
It is my first time, watching one of your videos: woooooooooooooow I have really liked and enjoyed it, a lot ! ... I got it ! I´m happy because I understood everything about conditionals.

If Cristian didn't help us we would have a lot of problems with our English. :)
Thanks for these great information , but I have a question. You said in modal verbs class that would is not past for will, is it??
I have got confused1
Thanks! The better lesson about “conditional”! Simple and easy to remember!

Conditionals can be hard for me to remember, and many of my students have a difficult time with them too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you this's valuable lesson...!!!!! short , simple , effictiv,

Great explanation and simple. thank you for your work!

If I studied for more time a day I would improve my English sooner.
In the 3rd conditional example sentence the part after the comma is it really past perfect or present perfect?
If i had found your canal earlier i would not have had time for another ones.)))

You just destroyed my dream about an easy Carpe diem way of living. Lol
Very interesting approach, thank you for sharing!
