Hello Greg. Thanks a lot for this video. I have a question about the example you gave at 14:50. I would have said : "she asked him what he would be doing that time the day after". What do you think about it? Have a good day

Would it be possible to replace the "What will you be doing this time tomorrow?" question for a "She asked me what I was going to be doing for this time today" rephrasing?
Hi! I'm Etienne from eastern Africa ; teacher Greg how can i fluency English wile i live where i can't find a native English speaker even a fluwent one.thanks for your help.
Dear teacher, I'd like to know if these sentences sound OK in English, especially regarding the usage of 'less' and 'short' 1. Despite this being festive season, business is less / short for us. 2. Being a holiday, buses are short today. 3. My knowledge of science is less / short. Please help me.
Is it the same with these sentences? I thought he was happy or I thought he is happy Or in a different case : i thought he had been happy I wanted to use backshifting cause it looks similiar to reported speech Alternatively with a Word "promise" : I had promised i would do it the following day
I don't know how he understood that i meant to say you you really make it a peace of cake English thank you so much and i wrote think instead of thank you so much it's really embarrassing im really sorry about that but your really smart if I were you I wouldn't understand that 😊😮
Why we don't change "were" (engagements were) to Past Perfect in the following example: Direct speech: Grandma: When I was your age, engagements were very short… maybe 3 months. Do you think you will have a short or long engagement? Woman: I imagine a long one. John has his important business trips coming up. Reported speech: It was good! She asked me when we thought we would get married. I said that I didn’t know. Then she told me that in her time, engagements were short. Then she asked me if I thought we would have a short or long engagement.
Hey, Greg! I have already watched some of your videos. I love the way you teach. However, I have a doubt in this video. I think you just focused only on backshifting the tense in the reported speech, not on changing the words of time and place accordingly. For example, "Have you been living here long?" Your answer was: She asked whether I had been living here long. As far as I know.. When we use "here", then it means the speaker still lives in the same place, so he/she doesn't have to backshift the tense and can keep up the present perfect continuous (have been living). Or, if we backshift the tense, we should change "here" into "there" as well. So, I don't know why you didn't change the time and place words accordingly. If you reply to me regarding this, it will be very helpful for me to understand the reported speech better.
Can I say: They said they have been practising for hours. If yes, is it still reported speech? And similar: The chef said he will be cooking later. Instead of using 'would'. (AI said it is also correct)
Dude, in everyday English(informal English) we don't follow that rule, for example, "I'm doing my homework", would be "he said he's doing his homework". But if you wanna stick to the grammar, it'd be like this " he said he was doing his homework". Hope it helps.
@@fabianabevis9890 Well I can't know all the terms for different types of hats so thanks for telling me, but I will still continue to refer to it as peasant cap lol.

Hi! I'm Etienne from eastern Africa ; teacher Greg how can i fluency English wile i live where i can't find a native English speaker even a fluwent one.thanks for your help.
no need any changes of Time and Place Words in Reported Speech?
Dear teacher, I'd like to know if these sentences sound OK in English, especially regarding the usage of 'less' and 'short'
1. Despite this being festive season, business is less / short for us.
2. Being a holiday, buses are short today.
3. My knowledge of science is less / short.
Please help me.
Hi; I can't download and get the worksheet ! Nothing in my boxmail !
Is it the same with these sentences?
I thought he was happy
or
I thought he is happy
Or in a different case :
i thought he had been happy
I wanted to use backshifting cause it looks similiar to reported speech
Alternatively with a Word "promise" :
I had promised i would do it the following day
Hey, profe!
and what about here - there, this - that, now - then. I think those should be part of Rule #4
I don't know how he understood that i meant to say you you really make it a peace of cake English thank you so much and i wrote think instead of thank you so much it's really embarrassing im really sorry about that but your really smart if I were you I wouldn't understand that 😊😮
Why we don't change "were" (engagements were) to Past Perfect in the following example:
Direct speech: Grandma: When I was your age, engagements were very short… maybe 3 months. Do you think you will have a short or long engagement?
Woman: I imagine a long one. John has his important business trips coming up.
Reported speech: It was good! She asked me when we thought we would get married. I said that I didn’t know. Then she told me that in her time, engagements were short. Then she asked me if I thought we would have a short or long engagement.
👌

Passive Voice is more complex compared to Reported Speech which is quite simple and just requires following the rules.

First Comment Greg. A big fan Of Yours
Thanks for commenting! 🙂
I won't go to the office today either.
I won't go to the office today as well.
Sir which one is the correct sentence?
This an apic video
Hey, Greg!
I have already watched some of your videos. I love the way you teach.
However, I have a doubt in this video. I think you just focused only on backshifting the tense in the reported speech, not on changing the words of time and place accordingly.
For example,
"Have you been living here long?"
Your answer was:
She asked whether I had been living here long.
As far as I know..
When we use "here", then it means the speaker still lives in the same place, so he/she doesn't have to backshift the tense and can keep up the present perfect continuous (have been living).
Or, if we backshift the tense, we should change "here" into "there" as well.
So, I don't know why you didn't change the time and place words accordingly.
If you reply to me regarding this, it will be very helpful for me to understand the reported speech better.
Can I say: They said they have been practising for hours. If yes, is it still reported speech?
And similar: The chef said he will be cooking later. Instead of using 'would'. (AI said it is also correct)

Hope it helps.
Can you send for me the work sheet because I tomorrow I have an exam 🙃
Bro, I always watch your videos not because you can teach me anything new, but because of your cool peasant caps lol

@@fabianabevis9890 Well I can't know all the terms for different types of hats so thanks for telling me, but I will still continue to refer to it as peasant cap lol.
@@fabianabevis9890 Find pictures on google images of basque berets and you will see that his is a far cry from one. He does wear a peasant cap lol.
Ikr I love it
