Mi è venuta in mente la frase della sigla di Friends: "So no one told you life was gonna be this way", è un future in the past, no? Thank you for the lesson, Brian!
I'm starting to watch your videos again, don't know why i stopped. I'd really learn how to speak english without saying:" i'm sorry about my english". This is really useful.
Thank you so much Brian! 😃 About two years ago I used to say "I knew you would *HAVE* come" and I learnt the correct form when I listened to one of your old videos where you talked about it. I'm glad to see that you made a whole video about the future in the past. I knew you would do it. 😉
Great video!!! One question, if I want to use a "Future perfect" in the past, can I use the "would have + past participle", for example: "Before the policeman came in the house, the killer would have already gone" (Prima che il poliziotto entrasse in casa, l'assassino se n'era già andato) or "yesterday I said to everyone I was sure I would have reached the top by midday" (ieri ho detto a tutti che ero sicuro che avrei raggiunto la cima entro mezzogiorno) and "It's almost lunchtime, I thought I would have finished all my work by now!" (È quasi ora di pranzo, pensavo che avrei finito tutto il mio lavoro ormai!) ? Thank you very much! Michele
questo è uno di quei video geniali di brian!è stato utilissimo brian!!in pochissime parole ho imparato come fate voi americani il futuro nel passato ,molto chiaro!la genialità di questo ragazzo sta proprio in questo :riesce in poche parole a spiegare e a farti capire costruzioni grammaticali fondamentali con estrema facilità !!!ti prego continua a fare questi video perchè sono troppo utili amico mio !!!
Question. If I have this phrase: we were sure that Kim and Tom would have left by the time we arrived. Is it correct? Or I have to use: would leave? Thank-you for your answer.
Bravissimo e simpaticissimo. But a small question ' I thought my sons would enjoy the camping' ' I thought my sons would have enjoyed the camping'' . I was told, many years ago, that they were both correct: the first had a positive meaning ( they enjoyed), the second a negative meaning (they didn't)....
Ma quando l'azione futura ha una forte connotazione ipotetica/irreale allora il would + have può essere usato no? Esempio: tutti pensavano che avrebbe potuto vincere lui (ma invece ha perso) > everyone thought he could have won
We study English as a second language. In our curriculum I faced this problem. We have this sentence to be changed into (Future in the Past).I'll show you the sentence and its solution:John will be working late, so I won't call him early in the morning. It is done as follows:- I knew John would be working late, so I didn't call him early in the morning. My question is:-why did they use"didn't"instead of"wouldn't" for the second part of the sentence? Please explain this for me sooner not later and if there is a rule write it down. I'll be so grateful. My best regards. I'm from Iraq.
Marvelous lesson!! It's to my liking; moreover, it appeals to me. You are the be-all and and-all. When I met Astrid in New York , I had never thought , she would become my wife. When I met Astrid in New York, I had never thought she was going to become my wife. When I met Astrid in new York, I had never thought, she was gonna become my wife. Is that correct ?
I wish I had a teacher like you in high school. You’re very good at explaining things and you always do it in the simplest way.
So useful. 5 years at school no one taught me as simple could be to construct these kind of sentences 😮 mind blowing!
Typical. 😪

Thank you for the lesson, Brian!
I was looking for the way to say this kind of sentence for a bit
Thanks briller
Sei il mio insegnante di inglese preferito è poi essendo un livello basso riesco a capirti ora. Sto facendo progressi grazie a te.

A very understandable class. You are a wonderful teacher. Go on this way
i realize it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Kingsley Langston Flixportal =)
@Spencer Otto thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!!
@Kingsley Langston happy to help :)

In effetti la vera difficoltà per un italiano è il dover tradurre con un condizionale presente ciò che si pronuncia al condizionale passato.
Assolutely perfect, danke

Che bella lezione....chiara e precisa!!!!! Non si può chiedere di meglio!!!!!
Thanks briller, you are really good at making people understand the things you explain

a very useful lesson. Thanks Briller
really helpful!
Great! If I want to say: "Sapevo che sarebbe finita così" can I use: "I knew it was gonna end like this"?

in my book there's another way to say the future in the past: was/were+ verb-ing. is it correct?
B: Oh, I thought he would ... A: Of course he would, but he realized he couldn't. Is it right ?
Super useful, thanks!
Thank you, useful as usual!
Awesome as usualy thanks brill
I knew that this video was gonna be very useful
great! thanks a lot😊
I knew that you would do another great video. Is it right? 😝
Tenkiu
Nice lesson. But I'd say the second version of future in the past (WERE/WAS GOING TO) is far more uncommon than the 1st one. ;)
4:40 non dovrebbe essere "The oldest" con il superlativo?
Utilissimo! 👍
I knew you would have come
My teacher says if the action doesn't come true it must use would have + past participal...
It ' s hard 🥺
Marvelous lesson!! It's to my liking; moreover, it appeals to me. You are the be-all and and-all.
When I met Astrid in New York , I had never thought , she would become my wife.
When I met Astrid in New York, I had never thought she was going to become my wife.
When I met Astrid in new York, I had never thought, she was gonna become my wife.
Is that correct ?
Nice sentences!
Sei meraviglioso
Why couldn't the sentence be "I knew you would have come"?
I didn't phone to him because I knew he wouldn't reply to me.
Ma chi è che urla nel sottofondo del video? lol
I THINK YOU WILL HAVE FINISHED THE PAPER BY SATURDAY MORNING = I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE FINISHED THE PAPER BY SATURDAY MORNING. CORRETTO ?
