A little about me:
My name's Minoo, and I'm originally from Iran.
I obtained my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Diploma in England in 1985.
Since then, I've been an English teacher, teacher trainer, and course director in various schools and countries. I'm also a trained confidence coach.
In 2008, my son, Tom, and I set up the Anglo-Link platform for online English studies.
This led to the creation of our popular RUclips channel in 2011.
My passion is to share with you what I've learnt on my own English language journey, both as a student and as a teacher, so that you can become a fluent speaker of English too.

Thank you very much for this lesson! You really explain the subjunnctive mood very clearly!
I'm glad it's been helpful!
Thanks for your content!
You're very welcome!
For learners with a German backdrop it might be helpful to get clarity about a distinction. The subjunctive (mood) is something that is related to the Konjunktiv (conditional), actually it's the common translation. But you'll suffer shipwreck if you identify the first with the latter. The subjunctive is limited to if-clauses and the situations explained here, as far as I understand it. The biggest difficulty might be that there is no separate verb form for the conditional. If I were you = wenn ich du wäre (there is no word for "wäre" in English other than "were" which is the past of "be" = waren). In other words, depending on the context, were could be "waren" or (far less often) "wäre".
What I'm really curious about is whether English had a verb form in the past like in the related other Germanic language.
Thank you for this comparison. It will be helpful for German speakers. My guess is that there must have been a distinct form in English as well.
Thanks a lot!
mood >> doom ;)
You're most welcome!
Maybe in the future you will make a video about b1 and b2 level.
