Thanks a lot about your great lesson my amazing teacher i would rather you taught us more coz I've been expecting this lesson to be taught even though i do not have issue about understanding English the more you teach us the more i do understand
Thanks a million Ben. It's the first video I watch for you and it's highly informative. Honestly speaking, it's the only video that provided me with what I needed to learn about conditionals. Thank you so much ❤
Are you saying past perfect in the first clause and present perfect in the second clause in mixed conditionals? Give sny examples, please. I appreciate that. Thumbs up! Cheers!
Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. I am left with one question, though. What is the difference between provided that and providing that. (context: an old CPE: providing that s.th. happens, 'they' might just make it; I don't understand why I can't use provided that in this case). Can anyone help me?
Hello Teacher. I have been actually studying with your advanced topics like these ones. However, I have a question: Do you know what pages I can study these topics?. I hope your answer. Thank you 👍.
great teacher Can you make a video where you can explain to us also how to put questions using the mixed conditionals? There are a lot of videos that talk about affirmative sentences and never concerned to explain how to put questions with mixed conditionals. It'd be very appreciated
How to formulate present perfect sentences to conditional sentences? For example.... Situation one ... (1)I have just eaten so, I can't go out with you for dinner....how to formulate this present perfect sentense(I have just eaten) If I did not eat, I would go out with you for dinner. Or If I had not eaten, I would go out with you for dinner. Any teacher has never discribed about how to convert conditional from present perfect....they always discuss about past situation but what about recent past which has connection with present....can we use second conditional or we have to use past perfect in those types of situations....please guide about recent past which has connection with present.....second situation (2)He has killed his wife so police will arrest him. If he did not kill(or had not killed)his wife, police would not arrest him. Situation three... (3)He has killed his wife so Police has arrested him. If did not kill( or had not killed) his wife, Police would not have arrested him. As every one says Second conditional is used for 'present' and 'future'.....dose the 'present' mean 'present simple' or' present perfect'? Third conditional used for past tense.does it mean 'past simple' and 'resent past(present perfect)?... Please guide me I am very eager to know your answer.....
Good questions Pankaj. The present perfect is considered a 'past' verb tense and follows the same rules in conditional sentences as the past simple. The second conditional is used for the present simple and continuous NOT the present perfect. So, we use the 3rd and mixed conditionals for present perfect sentences. The correct sentences using your examples are; 1. If I had not eaten, I would go out with you for dinner 2. If he hadn't killed his wife, the police wouldn't arrest him. 3. If he hadn't killed his wife, the police wouldn't have arrested him. Does that clarify it for you?
@@tothepointenglishwithben. Sir I am sorry but I can not hold myself to ask one more question. one more which is not relevant to the conditional. Every one says that past simple is complite past which has no connection with present but in real life many situations arise which have connection with present even if they are past simple....for example Supposing(context)....I go to laundry shop to pay the last month laundry bill.we give money to laundry man but he does not accept it and says one of two following statements (1)Your father has paid the bill so you don't have to pay it.(here 'has paid the bill' is present perfect which has connection with present that's why I don't have to pay the bill) (2)Your father paid the bill yesterday so you don't have to pay it. Here 'paid the bill yesterday' is complited action which does have connection with the present that's why I don't have to pay the bill now. But grammer say past simple is complited action which has no connection with present.....according to me 'past simple is complited action it does have connection with present it depends on context what we want to convey the masaage.....please guide me.' two more example.... (3)who broke this glass?(broken glass is still here.some connection with past action and present result.) (4)why did you break this glass? Here I am not talking about distanct past here I am talking about recent past. if we say (5)who has broken this glass ? (6)why have you broken this glass? It sounds odd to me....it seems like formal.but here we want to expresss our enger and anger can't not be shown by formal speaking.....what's your view....please let me know....
We can't use the present perfect when the sentence includes a past time reference (yesterday, last year, in 2008, 5 minutes ago) because the time is considered completed. That's why your example 2 is correct. Regarding examples 3, 4, 5, and 6... although the action is recent, the verb 'to break' refers to an action which was completed in the past and the speaker is emphasising the fact that it is completed. As you said, it's not wrong to say 'who has broken the glass' but it's not common simply because of the nature of the verb.
If I weren't familiar with this topic, I wouldn't have understood anything Hadn't I understood this vid, I'd think I were shallow-minded Are both correct?
You come across as a great teacher...so I'm in no way attacking you. I wouldn't. I've also taught English to overseas students for many years; and the language has, in my humble opinion, many fanciful and unnecessary aspects to it [I appreciate other languages do too but perhaps not as many as English? Especially when it comes to the tenses!]. Personally, I didn't go down your very well explained and illustrated path of alternatives to 'if'. Absolute nonsense in my opinion. 'I'll lend you the money IF (heavily stressed by the speaker) you pay me back before Xmas' is no weaker than 'on condition that', for me. And again: 'supposing you won the Lottery...' to me has no more emphasis than 'if you...'. Sorry, just an opinion and one that influenced my disinterest in thinking this had to be covered in class. As another way of saying the same thing, for variety, perhaps, but not because it gives more emphasis to the meaning.
More mixed conditionals examples, third example: if I were more intelligent, I would have passed the exam, can I say: If I had been more intelligent , I would have passed the exam ?
I'm sure I wouldn't be so happy, if I hadn't moved to the suburbs. As long as you do the talking, everything will be all right. Had you been sincere to her, you wouldn't be in such an uncomfortable situation. If the buses hadn't been on strike, I wouldn't have to use your car, okay?💂♀️
I'll buy an ice cream for you as long as you support me with household chores. I'll invite you for dinner provided that I host my birthday party. I'll pay you on condition that you work for me. Supposing I were a doctor, I would definitely serve as the front-line health professional during the pandemic. Supposing I had studied computer programming during grad school, I would be working for Google. Should you have any queries about today's lesson, can you contact me. Had you woken up early in the morning, you wouldn't be late for office today. Thank you Ben....

If I had known you when I was a child, I would've learned English sooner!!! Great video, professor Ben!! ❤
Thanks for super clear explanation. If I were English, I would have been fluent in English. I appreciate that. Thumbs up! Cheers!
Had I known there was such a good channel, I would've subscribed much more earlier!😊 Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you very much Ben! Great way of learning English grammar (also British accent, which I personally love😍).
Thanks Joanna 🙂
Fantastic video. If I had found two months ago, I would passed my B2 exam.
Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome!
Would have passed
You are the best Ben.I'm aiting for another grammar explanations like this one.
excellent.
I fall in love with your videos 😊 Especially your impossible British accent 😍
Very helpful!! Thanks a lot!👏👏
You're welcome 🙂
Thanks, Ben! I needed this!
Fernando! I thought I'd lost you 😁 Glad you liked the video 👍
@@tothepointenglishwithben. No, Ben, you didn't lose me: I'm a student B 😉👍🏼

Some great tips. Thanks
Thanks Peter!
You rule, Ben! Thank you!
😁😁😁 And you rock, Luza! 🕺
Had I watched your videos sooner, I would understand more about conditionals. Is it correct ,isn't? Thank you again!
Yes! 👍
If I hadn't studied English for about four years, it's safe to assume that I would figure out little more than almost nothing.)
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Ben this is really useful!!!
Great! Thanks Katty 🤗
Lovely 🥰! Thank you, Ben & Amy!😍
You're welcome 🙂
😅 I need to practice more, this video is really paramount.
Thanks a lot for your help dear Ben🥳💨💨💨
You're welcome 🙂
thank you teacher
Are you saying past perfect in the first clause and present perfect in the second clause in mixed conditionals? Give sny examples, please. I appreciate that. Thumbs up! Cheers!
gracias hermano
Very useful information. Thank you, Ben.
You're welcome!
supposing your are a great teacher, what would you say about this helpful content? you have helped many people with these kinda videos.
Thanks a lot, that was great!
You're welcome 🙂
Hi Ben!,
Thanks for your videos, well explained and very useful for me.
Ben, would you be so kind of explaining about inversions?
Thanks in advance.
I'll make a video on inversion in the future 👍
@@tothepointenglishwithben. Thanks ben! ;-) I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Hi Ben! What is your opinion about extended 6 types of conditionals? Is it enough for FCE 4 types of conditionals?
Yes, the 4 types are enough for the FCE
Had I learnt inversion of mixed condition earlier, I would have used it actively.
After had we use pp but after would we use the simple form. So it wouldn't be a problem to distinguish I'd and I'd .
Had you understood more about her i would give you a lot of money
Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. I am left with one question, though. What is the difference between provided that and providing that.

Where is the other video about the conditionals?
Hello Teacher.

how old are you sir? my 1st time to view your video.
I'm about 18 months older than when I made the video 😉
hey BEN, do you provide any writing corrections for IELTS?
I specialise in the Cambridge English exams: B2 First, C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency
