  • @timk4829
    @timk4829 5 месяцев назад +19

    Thank you for this video, Lucy! Maybe you can also do a video on the if-clauses. In AE it has become super common to say: 'If I would have known this I would have done it differently'. Also people tend to skip the past perfect saying something like: 'If I knew this I would have done it differently' instead of 'If I had known this I would have done it differently.'

    • @steveknight878
      @steveknight878 4 месяца назад +1

      I would say "Had I known this, I would have done it differently" - just a different way of saying it.

    • @talkinghand4839
      @talkinghand4839 4 месяца назад

      ​@steveknight878 I like yours better. The whole phrase implied a silent "if." It's just my thought.

    7:42 This always intervened with my confidence because I tend to stop and thinking when I realize 'ohh it's more than one, I should change it's - causing me to rephrase my sentence but most of the time, awkwardly.
    During school I learned British English but as I'm growing older, I realize I'm actually using American English 🤭

    In Portuguese, the verb there to be will always be conjugated in singular form when meaning the idea of existence (verbo "haver"), even if it's preceded by plural nouns. Ex.: "Há cadeiras na sala"; "Há muitos convidados na festa".
