  • @timk4829
    @timk4829 Před 4 měsíci +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 Před 4 měsíci +1

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

    • @talkinghand4839
      @talkinghand4839 Před 4 měsíci

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

    (Native speaker from south USA), You explain things well. After I finish this video I will go looking for one on who/whom. I mostly get it right if it is obvious like the object of a preposition, but in some cases I'm not sure.

  • @saeid9800

    @geoffraygregoire3220 Před 4 měsíci +19

    Nice one Lucy. I got 5/5 but I have to admit I often struggle with that one, especially because I work with both English and American colleagues 🙂. Another one which I found tricky is whether to use singular or plural after every+noun and each+noun

    • @Histogramas
      @Histogramas Před 3 měsíci

      What is noum ?

    • @geoffraygregoire3220

      Typo, I meant noun not noum

    • @Histogramas
      @Histogramas Před 3 měsíci

      ​​@@geoffraygregoire3220thank you. English is not my native language so I thought it could be something else. You could edit your answer, then. Make it right. ;)

    • @SuNyeinSan-gs7dm
      @SuNyeinSan-gs7dm Před 3 měsíci

      I'd like to admit that I'm still learning english and not sufficiently good at english.But,in my knowledge, you have to use singular noun after every and each.
