    The simplest explanation ever, and yet the most sophisticated. Thanks for Ur efforts, ma'am, obviously u put lots of good work on Ur records. And by the way, i guess, u can be a good actress.

    I love your accent, in my country the American English it's the accent that is taught when learning English is required. I love the way you speak and explain the language :)

    We also have this modal verb, which is very similar to 'should' and varies slightly to 'may' and 'can.' This modal verb is 'shall.' 'Shall I take you to the cinema now?' and 'Shall we go?' Shall we go to the park? Shall I make the tea? This verb is commonly used like this: "Shall we?' and "Shall I?' or when answering a question: 'We shall' and 'I shall.' To negate the verb, one would say this: 'I shall not,' We shall not,' '''She shall not,' 'It shall not stand,' 'Tom shall not go,' 'This rule shall not be breached' (pronoun/noun/proper noun + verb + negative adverb).

    Guys who are learning English, never give up because you're about to be so proud of yourself in the future yet. I've been learning English myself for nearly 2 years, and I've managed to improve every important aspects, from listening to speaking only because of these kinds of lessons on TH-cam. Now, thankfully, I'm quite confident to run my own English channel here, which is a little bit hard though but I like it
    BTW I really learnt the important points from you, very helpful lesson, thanks a lot ❤️

    Yes, you may. My address is...
    - Can we borrow your hoover?
    Of course you can, here you go.
    - Could you wait a moment please?
    Yes, of course, take your time.
    - Excuse me, could I have another one please?
    Of course Ma'am.

    Modal verbs now reminding me of the modes of music...developed by the Greek philosophers. Ionian (Major) Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (Minor), and finally, Locrian. All having a unique tonality. 1. For you, most certainly. 2. My Hoover is on the blink, so I’m afraid not. 3. Yes, I can wait. 4. Sure, take two, they’re small. 5. Yes, would you like the pepper as well?

    Hey Anna, I have two questions.
    1. Is it "to not" or "not to"? For example, "He was trying his best *to not* yell at her" or "He was trying his best *not to* yell at her"
    2. Is it "in regard to" or "with regard to" ?

    May I have your contact details? Absolutely not as it's a national security risk. Can we borrow your hoover? Assuming that's my neighbor asking I would reply: Of course when you're finished with it you could return it. Or i'll have someone helpful or possibly myself, if I can; come later to pick it up. Could you wait a moment please? Depending on the situation I would either say: Unfortunately time is pressing me to hurry right now. Or I would reply Why what have you for me? Excuse me could I have another one please: I guess it's at the dinner table in which case I would say: You can have another-one there's plentiful to drink here go ask them. Could you pass me the salt please: I would reply: Oh helpful butler could you pass my annoying good friend there, sitting across me visiting from Denmark, who deliberately thinks I am a butler at this point and degrades me to commonality in an insulting way far too often; the salt please. And I would add, I am also not meaning any offence to you helpful butler who the family does appreciate for the betterment of the common good of our society. That's the answers I think yes!!!! :)
