It might be I would have found the best channel for learning English but I'm totally sure you must the teacher that fits better to my level and I can't be mistaken. Speaking about Paulo Cohelo, it comes to my memory "The Alchemist" a short and charming novel difficult to be forgotten.
HI Ricardo, thank you so much for participating! and thank you for your words, I feel honored! However, you can even say it in a more correct way: " *I might have found* the best channel ..." and "You must *be* the teacher that...". Thank you again! About The Alchemist, that reminds me, I have had that book at home for months and never got the chance to read it... It might be time for me to do so. Thank you again!
Gran profesora Mónica!! Los vídeos son de gran ayuda .Gracias mil .

Your explanations must be the best thing I have received to improve, thank you very much for helping us to study, you are great.

Hello teacher Mónica... First and foremost You are such a sweetie ❤️, and the other hand Thank you ever so much for this outstanding lesson by the way here You are my deductions about the pictures;
1.- he must be thinking about any situation.
2.- he might be on a social misión.
Hope I did right. ( I keeping my fingers crossed)
Thank you again I have a nice day.
It´s really usefull your explanation. It´s easier to understand than another youtube chanel.
1.- He must be sad
2.- They can´t be his enemy
You are great on explanations on how to do the different parts of the English exams. You prepare the contents thoroughly and nicely and do a fantastic job in helping students and everybody to understand better the English language. Thank you so much for your job!
Wow, thanks a million, I really appreciate it!
Picture 1: Unfortunatelly, he might have lost the train.
Picture 2: They may have announced PEACE at least.
Thanks Mónica, your explanations are awe-inspiring ....❤
Thank you so much Inmaculada! And good job with the examples. The second one, instead of “at least”- como mínimo, you should say “ at last”- por fin. Thanks for watching!
Eres una profesora extraordinaria por lo bien que explicas, por los ejemplos que pones y por la sintaxis que utilizas en el desarrollo de tus explicaciones, clara, sencilla y precisa pero a la vez rica y expresiva. No he visto ningún canal de profesores nativos tan bueno como el tuyo (Anglo-link, Crown Academy of English, Oxford English Now, Lets Learn English, etc.).
Muchísimas gracias Javier, de verdad que me alegra mucho saber que mi video te ha ayudado. Gracias por hacérmelo saber y por estar ahí de nuevo :-)
thanks a lot for your explanations and you feed back. awesome videos.¡
1. He must be feeling upset for losing the last train
2. Me might have already got to the refugee camp
Hi Cris! Thank you for your examples, the grammar is correct! Just one thing: when we are speaking about transport, we use the verb "miss" instead of "lose": ...for missing the last train.
Thanks a lot again, have a great day!
Great video, as always! You explained everything very well. Thanks, again! 😊😃😃
picture1:
He seems so sad, he may have broken up with his girlfriend.
Picture2:
The boys must be hungry, in their country there's a war.
HIi Jucyara, you have no idea how happy I feel when I read comments like yours, thank you for your support week after week! about your examples, very well done indeed! Fantastic job!
Thanks!
He might well have missed the train.
They may well have been asking some food.
Very good Francisco! You have used the modals correctly. Remember to use preposition "for" after "asking".
Thanks Monica.. Wish a fantastic week!!
He may have been broken his relashionship!
He might be showing something interesting to them
👍👍
❤
Amazing video! Can you explain to me which is the difference between Maybe vs May be, please? Thanks, Monica. (Or link with information)
Hi David! Of course! It’s confusing, right? Basically they are different types of word. Maybe is an adverb and may be is the modal verb with the verb to be. I will leave you a link where this is explained with examples: www.google.com/amp/s/learningenglish.voanews.com/amp/maybe-and-may-be-are-driving-me-crazy-/4807820.html
By the way, thanks for watching my videos week after week, I really appreciate it 🙏😍 🇬🇧
Mónica, you are a terrific teacher. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot alicia!
🎉
Yeyyy!!🤩🥳
He cant be happy , something awful may have happened to him.
He must be a soldier in a refugee camp.
I really loved your class, i see some of your videos one time and another.
Very well done Lucia, those are great examples! Thanks for commenting 🥰🌟
First picture:
He can't have been happy because he looks like frustrated.
Second picture:
He must have been very grateful from them.
Hi María! Good, thank you for your examples!
The modal of deduction of the first example is correct, however, better to say "he looks frustrated" and not "looks like frustrated". the reason why we say this is because "look like" is followed by a noun and not an adjective. Example: He looks like an actor, or She looks like my sister. If you use and adjective, then you should use "look": He looks frustrated, she looks happy.
About the second one, better to say "They must have been very grateful for the man's gift". Thanks a lot!
@ gracias a ti por las correcciones.
1- He must be sad, it might have been a problem with love.
2- He must be out of battle-field, he might be remembering to his sons.
HI there Ricardo, nice to see you around here!
Ok, example one is perfect, well done!
Example two, better to say "He must be out of the battle field, he might be remembering his sons".
IN English the verb "remember" doesn't need preposition: I remember that day, He remember that song, They remember their childhood.
Take care!
Okey
Paulo Coelho. It must have been a mistake. You may well have forgotten the famous surname. Thank you so much, Mònica.
Hi Monica, great explanation. Just let you know there is a SPELLING MISTAKE in minute 5. “Don’t use musn’t for deduction” It should be spelt MUSTN’T . The “T” is missing ;)
Hi Nuria!!! Thanks a lot, I saw it after uploading the video. Oh well... 😏
But I thought that we used "lost" when someone lost a thing, and "miss" when it''s for a person (a missing person and a lost wallet). Am I wrong?
Hi! Yes, that’s totally right, but in order to say “Estoy perdido”, we need to say “ I am lost”. We can also say that someone is missing with the sense of “estar desaparecido”. Basically if you just lost your way around we would say “she is lost”, but if someone cannot find somebody because that person might have been kidnapped for example, we would say “she is missing”. Thanks!
1. He might well be feeling blue 😭. His love has just taken the very last train and they won't see each other again in two weeks.
HI Mario, correct! Very good example, thank you!
2. Children must have been starving for several days. That's why the soldier is giving his apple to them.
All right, excellent job! Thanks for commenting!
In the second picture, I see a soldier who is giving an apple to her, so it must have been as a result of a war.
Good Rocío, thank you!
There ARE not an exact equivalent for the meaning you want to express.
Shouldn't it be "There IS not an exact equivalent for the meaning you want to express" ?
Hi there!, Yes, it should be "There is not an exact equivalent...." I realized when I finished uploading the video :-)
1st Picture: He must be sad. He is alone and thinking about something .So,He might have been in trouble in the past and that problem might happen again.
2nd Picture: They must be playing. The child is holding a ball. A war might have finished as they can´t be worry.
Thank you Myriam! Thanks for your examples, good job! About the final sentence, you could say instead " A war might have finished *so they can't be worried* ". Take care and thanks for popping by!
@ thanks!!!♥️
@@MyriamKinomoto anytime 🥳
1.- He's so glum ... he must have missed the last chance to win back the love of his life with the train that just left the station, I'm sure!
2.- A soldier is giving a red ball to some innocent children, it may be the last memory he has of his family. He might want to solve the war with this little gesture.
HI Cristina, wow! I loved your examples, very well done indeed! Not only are they grammatically correct but quite moving too! Super job! Thanks for being here one more week :-)
@ Thanks teacher ... it is a great pleasure to have you there, always ready to support your students. Thanks for your valuable work. :)
You are a star!!! 🌟 ⭐️ 💫
☺
He might be a little bit down, maybe he could have gone through a rough patch.
Hi Rocío. Your example is correct and I loved the expression “ rough patch”. Well done 👍
@ Thanks Monica! you made my day !
