    Good morning I think I can’t understand how to use the model verb “would “ For example: What is meaning meaning of this sentence Thick carpet would reduce the echo in this hallway. What is the meaning of “would “ hear and the sentence talks about present or past an how can I know?

    • @ConversationCompanionEnglish
      @ConversationCompanionEnglish Місяць тому

      Good afternoon. The meaning in that example sentence is the same as "If you put this carpet in the hallway, it will reduce the echo." Maybe you're thinking about putting the rug in the hallway or leaving it where it is now (imaginary situation). So the result IF you put it there WOULD be reduced echo noises (result). The time/tense here actually isn't as important as in other sentences because nothing happened. Just like: That food would make me full if I ate it. (I didn't order or eat anything. My current real situation didn't change) / I would go inside if it rained. (It isn't raining so my plan for today didn't change)

    • @ConversationCompanionEnglish
      @ConversationCompanionEnglish Місяць тому

      If you want to put the rug in the hallway in the future tense, you can say "When I put the rug there tomorrow, it will reduce the echo." Present: "I put the rug there every morning, and it reduces the echo." Past: When I put the rug in the hallway last week, it reduced the echo a lot." I hope this helps!!

    You are an incredibly talented teacher! I can learn from you easily, pleasantly and effectively!!! Many times (and for many years, I have been trying to gain fluency in English), I have tried to understand the use of the word "might," but not avail... That's why I never used it (instead, I use the verb may or can). After your class is the first time I think I fully understood its usage as a modal verb! Furthermore, it is very helpful that you gave so clearly the usage of the word "might" as a noun and as an adjective. I have the same highly positive opinion of the rest of your classes!!! Many thanks, and keep it up!!!

    I found it's more tricky about context the "yet" being used anyway. What about those clauses as followed. "I do yet to get my certificate" or "I seek yet to address the issue" or "That must be the taxi yet". There is no negative signs in then but for the "yet" itself. But I observed sort of them quite often in many kinds of texts from official to more familiar ones.

    • @ConversationCompanionEnglish
      @ConversationCompanionEnglish 3 місяці тому

      Yes this form: "I have yet to receive payment" for example is not exactly "modern" English anymore. People DO still say it but in an ironic or sarcastic way (at least in American English I'm not sure about British English). I haven't seen an example like the taxi sentence you wrote; did you hear it in a movie or read it in a book?
