I've been watching your videos since my first year at the university and I must thank you for helping me all this time to improve my English. Also, thanks to you I'm able to give a good performance in my tests. Thank you again!
Thanks for your kind lesson.. Can we use had better to show something in the past. Please give me some examples to clarify it since I couldn't follow it perfectly.
Hi teacher Mac, thank you for your lessons I have a question and I would like to ask you. In this lesson, why don't we use "It's the best to..." instead of "It's best to..."
Could you help me with this sentence - He said that he must come to the party If he finishes his assignment for next week's seminar. Is it correct sentence? And what is the right way of writing such sentences as that.
incorrect. I suggest watching these lessons: th-cam.com/video/QCaULnNRVIo/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/nTmmxUxta6U/w-d-xo.html ....on reported speech
I'd rather stay in tonight (I prefer to stay home tonight) - I'd rather he went out tonight ( I prefer he went out tonight) past tense is subjunctive - not past ! Please watch my lesson on this topic: th-cam.com/video/oRc_Av2USts/w-d-xo.html - don't forget to share
Hello, can we also use "would just as soon?" For example: 1) I don't want to go there! I'd rather go and play football with my friends. 2) I don't want to go there! I'd sooner go and play football with my friends. 3) I don't want to go there! I'd just as soon go and play football with friends. Do these sentences mean the same? Thank you!
Thanks for this huge explanation. It's really helpful. However I have a question. In the example ( They'd rather have saved their money than spending on trivial things) Why do you say spending with ing? I thought after (than )we use basic verb. Can you help me please?
Hi sir, thank you for this video.. I have one question i.e., In negative sentence with one subject , you have used first form of the verb for present ..so sir why we can't use past verb for past... for instance., I would rather watched (for past ) the movie in cinema.. Instead of writing this why we write .. I would rather have seen the movie in Cinema..{ I know that we use past verb for present with two subjects sentence..e.g., I would rather you didn't call me. I am passionately waiting for your reply sir.. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN..
Nice question !!! I would rather you stayed (is not past....it is subjunctive) home tonight. Please watch my lesson on subjunctive to understand this MOOD....th-cam.com/video/oRc_Av2USts/w-d-xo.html .....or the other lesson on would rather......th-cam.com/video/3zAw1hK3-3o/w-d-xo.html Please share
Please, help me with this sentence, In 1975, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average life expectancy for people born during that year is 72.4 years. Why is "is" incorrect?
There is a sentence: In the U.S. more than 60 percent of all high school students who graduate continue their education. Should commas be put in this sentence.?
To build up your vocabulary you _____ read English newspaper.It will develop your writing skill. sir, what I should use would rather or had better? why?
I would rather go shopping mall than stay home with you. I had better understood your voice than others. He would rather fetch his son than ask someone. I would rather focus on my study than do gossiping with people.

Hi teacher Mac, thank you for your lessons
I have a question and I would like to ask you. In this lesson, why don't we use "It's the best to..." instead of "It's best to..."
