I'm such a big fan of your lessons. I have CPE (C2) and I'm a certified CELTA teacher, seen all videos so far and still happily watching every single new one that you post. Hands down, the best English-teaching channel on YT. I recommend you to all my students and friends. All the best!
15:27 Hello Teacher, Here is another question. I have answered ‘If he took care of himself, he wouldn’t have been sick right now.’ Your suggested answer in the video sounds good, and I am wondering if my answer would be also seen as a proper one. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I've been looking for a comprehensive lesson about mixed conditionals for quite a while, and this is by far the best one. Please make more advanced lessons like this in future.
Wow I feel like a genius right now. I have chosen the correct part in "if you had taken...". Love it when I can give correct answers. Thank you for the video
I appreciate your challenging/proactive/enthusiastic lesson. I challenged your mini quiz. Mixed Conditional 2 ( condition part = past simple; result part = would have + past participle) 1: If I trusted him I would have hired him for the job . Mixed Conditional 1 ( condition part = past simple; result part = would + present simple） 2: If he took care of himself he would not be sick right now. 1st Conditional ( condition part = present simple; result part = would have + future simple) 3: If I am going on a business trip next week I will not accept a new assignment at work.
Good evening dear Wes I learnt a lot about mixed conditionals in this video. Even though I have come across so many of them while reading novels and other books, the real meaning could be recognised now. Thanks a lot sir
Mixed conditionals are really confusing and they need more concentration and practice. Of course I did mistakes, but I , have learned some details about using them. Teacher Wed thank so much indeed,,,!
@@InteractiveEng Thank you! If I may ask, why did you use the simple past form “I were” in the sentence “If I were afraid of snakes, …”, but “I was” in the sentence “If I wasn’t so busy, …”? Are both forms acceptable and correct? Or is there any reason why you employed different forms? I would appreciate your help. Kind regards, Anna
Hi there.. I have a question with regard to mixed conditional..In 8:10 says: If I had taken the job,I'd be moving to New York next month. Is that wording in the second part of clause obligatory,or we can say: I'd go to New York next month.
10:36 Hello Teacher, I have a question here. What is the difference between ‘If I had been afraid of snakes, I would not have gone camping.’ and ‘If I were afraid of snakes, I would not have gone camping.’? I think there is no difference between two in meaning because in both cases, the speaker was not afraid of snakes before going camping. Please tell me what you think. Thank you.
Hi, the first time when I faced mixed conditional#2 I thought like this, and I considered the the same as third conditional, but if we pay attention much more, we could realize that the first part of mixed conditional#2 is a hypothetical situation in the present by using past simple, but the first part of third conditional is a situation that is related to the past. You know I'm not certain, but this is how I differentiate them. 🙏
Well, you can't tell "If I had been afraid of snakes, I would not have gone camping". 3rd cond is about regrets. And it is like nonsense, like I would say " If I had had more time, I would not have done a task". Do you feel it? And, "If I were afraid of snakes, I would not have gone camping". Try some sarcastic way in saying "huh, if I were afraid of snakes, I would not have gone camping. I am afraid of nothing here!"
Yes, the subjunctive works. In spoken English - and sometimes when written as well - people may not follow this rule. I was trying to mix up the examples. 👍
If we were afraid of public speaking, we would not have volunteered to give the presentation. If he were lactose intolerant, he would not have eaten the cheese cake.
Hello Wes thanks very much for your help your quality of work has helped me improved in my fluency I just have a problem as I keep accumulating vocabulary and am on able to put it in use as I don’t have people around me to communicate with as a result I get to forget with time in addition I even feel awkward expressing myself please is there any app that I can use in communication on at least speaking and texting so it helps me improve thanks.Fabien from Cameroon 🇨🇲
Hi there, I wonder which sentence is correct following " If I wasn't so busy, I would have gone with you to the movie" and " If I weren't so busy, I would have gone with you to the movie".
Would it be possible to get a video about advanced narative descriptions vocabularies you can encounter in books? unless you've already done it? otherwise do you have any website where i could look please ? thanks
One question: Why did you use the simple past form “I were” in the sentence “If I were afraid of snakes, …”, but “I was” in the sentence “If I wasn’t so busy, …”? Are both forms acceptable and correct? Many thanks for your otherwise excellent explanation! Kind regards, Anna
I am confused with the use of were and was for the first and third person, sometimes is used was and sometimes is used were. Is there any difference? great lesson!
If I hadn't studied by myself it, I wouldn't understand this video! (I hope that sentence is okay 😅). More examples! I wouldn't be improving my English skills if I hadn't taken a gamble on it! (And the reason is ❤ my love prince!) I wouldn't get a cold if I had to wear a mask.
This lesson made mixed conditonals more friendly. However, I still don't understand why there is the 2nd mixed conditional when we have the regular 3rd conditional.

Out of all the grammar rules in english, conditionals are the hardest😭
The easiest for me , my sis
15:27 Hello Teacher, Here is another question. I have answered ‘If he took care of himself, he wouldn’t have been sick right now.’ Your suggested answer in the video sounds good, and I am wondering if my answer would be also seen as a proper one. Thank you.
Had I not watched this lesson, I would never understand the mixed conditional.
Thank you, teacher!🇲🇿

Glad the lesson was helpful. Thanks for your comment. 🤗
Thanks for the lesson! At 10:41, why is "if she weren't" and not "if she wasn't" used?
Either works. Grammatically speaking, I'd recommend the subjunctive. In spoken English, you will definitely hear both. 👍
@@InteractiveEngOh, right! I totally forgot about the subjunctive mood. Thanks a lot!
Wes. It is the best explanation I have ever seen on this topic.Thank you!

Thanks for giving it a try. Keep up the good work. 👍
You are the best teacher!
👌❤☺
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Hope you learned something new. 😉
In 12:09, why the verb that was used is 'wasn't' and not weren't ? The subject is 'I' right? So it means the verb has to be plural
Yes, the subjunctive works. In spoken English - and sometimes when written as well - people may not follow this rule. I was trying to mix up the examples. 👍
U're the best I never seen before 😮

Could you explain why you had a comma in the first condition even when if was in the second part?

Hi there, I wonder which sentence is correct following " If I wasn't so busy, I would have gone with you to the movie" and " If I weren't so busy, I would have gone with you to the movie".
2nd sentence is correct as we are talking about a hypothetical situation
If you had bought that stunning royal blue dress, you would/could wear it to your friend's nuptials.
Would it be possible to get a video about advanced narative descriptions vocabularies you can encounter in books? unless you've already done it? otherwise do you have any website where i could look please ? thanks
I love the video ❤❤❤
One question: Why did you use the simple past form “I were” in the sentence “If I were afraid of snakes, …”, but “I was” in the sentence “If I wasn’t so busy, …”? Are both forms acceptable and correct?
Many thanks for your otherwise excellent explanation!
Kind regards,

I am confused with the use of were and was for the first and third person, sometimes is used was and sometimes is used were. Is there any difference? great lesson!
Grammatically, I'd recommend the subjunctive 'If I were...' but in spoken English you will hear either. 👍
Great lesson , thanks 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻

Nice one.nailed down,many thanks❤
Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate your comment. 😃
At minute 10:55
mixed conditional 2 examples
If she *weren’t* injured she would have played ..
Why it is weren’t instead of wasn’t ?
Either is accepted. Grammatically speaking, I would recommend the subjunctive. However, nowadays people may use either. 👍
Thanks, teacher this video was great, I learned a lot

*were :) What's the rule behind it?
Could I also say 'If I weren't so busy, ...'?
The subjunctive also works. 👍

If I wasn't so busy, I would have gone with you to the movie.
In British English: If I hadn't been so busy?
If I weren't going on a business trip next week, I would have accepted a new assignment at work.
Great job! Thanks for participating in the lesson. Keep it up! 👍
Hi Wes, shouldn't it be 'I would have answered the phone if I HADN'T BEEN in a meeting instead' ? Because I WAS in a meeting.
If he hadn't waisted his bonus points in Los Vegas, he would be coming Mexico with us next month.
Hello..is it correct to say "If I were hungry right now, I would have had that apple."
It's a bit confusing. Instead I'd say, "I would be hungry right now if I hadn't eaten that apple." 👍
@@InteractiveEng thank you
