    The best dignity of Greg is the fewer words, the more meaning: precise examples, short videos, clear pronunciation, authentic British accent. Keep doing your great job, dude!
    Миллионы учителей английского стоят в сторонке и тихо плачут, потому что Грег их оставил без работы. Тонны печатного хлама лежит в мусорной корзине.

    "Whether or not" --> Finally a translation for the Spanish expression "si o si". You are a star!

    • @EnglishWithGreg
      @EnglishWithGreg  3 года назад +7

      “No matter what” is a better translation for “sí o si” 😉

  • @fredrickbills9277
    @fredrickbills9277 2 года назад +2

    I am from California. I find myself rephrasing my sentences in order to use "whether" less often. "I don't know if he'd rather have tea or coffee" vs " I don't know whether he prefers tea or coffee" or "Have you decided if (you are going to) go to college?" VS " Have you decided whether to go to college". (You are going to) gets contracted to (you're gonna) so it gets shortened to (Have you decided if you're gonna go to college), but then is it really important to ask someone if/whether they decided? Most of the time it isn't, so it gets further contracted to " Are you gonna go to college?" then you don't have to use this "if/whether" thing at all. Guess what, if you are having a personal conversation and it is just the 2 of you then it is not necessary to say "Are" if you use upper inflection on the word college "You gonna go to college?" I'm not telling you to write like this but it's fine in conversation. Using inflection to make context might be too advanced.

      I suspect some of this lesson is deferential to British usage. I agree with everything in this lesson, but some of the distinctions he presents may not be as rigid in American usage.

    Greg,it is really captivating the way you explain english grammar.I was wondering if you could explain in details the following structures
    1.I would like to have done this.
    2.I would have liked to have done this.
    3.He has to have done something to deserve this.
    Pl.explain the grammar involved in these sentences. Perhaps,a subject for a video.Waiting for your next video.

    I don't know wether you are the best teacher but I can say this lesson is the best explanation I found about wether and if!
    I appreciate the way you teach us ; thanks !
    I'll watch the video again because right now it's still time to sleep, and I didn't care if you talk about "if" is used for more than two options.
    See you later !

  • @gladstonecolodetti2826
    @gladstonecolodetti2826 Год назад

    Hello there!! Thank you for your clear explanation. Well, I have a question. In the sentence when you say we should use whether after a preposition... the exemple is: I am thinking about whether to accept the job. I have learned that after prepositons we should use ING form. So, following this rule the sentence should go like this: I am thinking about whether accpeting the job. Does the word whether in the sentece change this rule? Verb pattern is really confusing ... well, I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you

    Wow! Beautiful explanation and useful class! So, in some cases, we could possibly be kind of rude if we use IF instead of whether, like "I don't care about other possibilities", "don't you say a word unless you have a positive answer". Lol

    And if there is "if" for two options (like - I can't decide if this or that one) should I use some other constructions, like gerund, or should it be infinitive without to? Like: I can't decide if wear yellow or green hat. Thank you so much in advance!
