    Thank you for making this very clear to me. I should not have listened when somebody told me that this was not used in English. Now I realized that he didn't know grammar. Kudos to you!

      Dear Teacher, this is a difficult grammar point. As a foreigner who lives off the Iles, my learning pattern consists of two phases at least, 1. Catch the idea - learn to understand 2 memories and find the techniques to use the grammar or vocab, whatever I have just understood.
      Dear Teacher Gideon, can you help with implementing point two.

    I fell by chance on your channel. I couldn't stop binging your videos. I learned a lot, thank you very much. But my only regret is that for 30 years I still don't understand the usage of "might" . Every other modal verbs translated differently in French and make them somehow not that hard to understand (je voudrais,j'aimerais, je veux) but "I might" is really a mystery for me ;-)

    Hello, Gideon! Great job! I'm chuffed to bits by your useful lessons and great videos, too.
    Talking about English grammar rules, we also have "ought to" as present modal, don't we?
    1. Is there any "ought to have" or "ought to've" as past modal in English grammar?
    2. Is there any "ought have to" or "ought've to" as past modal in English grammar?
    3. So, what is the past modal of "ought to" itself in English grammar and the negative form of its past modal?
    4. What is the difference between "ought to" and "must" and "have to" in English grammar?
    5. What is the past modal of "have to" in English grammar?
    Thanks in advance.

Teacher, you could make a video, short, with some sentences where you use contractions.
