"Only with his personal friends DOES he discuss his personal life." It is a present tense utterance, so there was no need to change to the past. Besides that, the rest is magnifique. Thanks.
Hi, I have a question mind explaining? You said in the video "He discusses his life only with his friends" then the inversion version became "Only with his close friends DID he discuss his life" Why the tense has changed? Why not use does rather than did?
hello!! why did u use the auxilary " did" in this sentence: Only with his close friends did he discuss his personal life? could I use the auxilary " does"?
I think he made a mistake. I've just taught this topic to a group of mine and I believe the right way should be "ONLY WITH HIS FRIENDS DOES HE DISCUSS HIS PERSONAL LIFE"
You changed the tense for some reason. "He discusses his personal life only with his friends". Should be "Only with his friends DOES he discuss his personal life" NOT "did"
I really liked it. It makes things so clear for my students. Have a great day.
A very clear presentation. It helped me understand the inversion after negative adverbials very well. Many thanks.
Very easy to follow and understand. Thank you very much.
Everything is almost clear now! Thanks for your video.

we caanot use because i had not told to you
it just slipped... not a big deal. it should have been: "Only with his close friends does he discuss his private life"
@@javon58 Still worth pointing out, because students watching this might think it works like indirect speech.
Thanks a lot. You made it easy to be understood.

My doubt is the same. I don´t understand why the auxiliary is in the past, if the action is showing a situation in the present.

Henry Akashi Come on, that's not really a mistake, is it?
Shaun' s a great teacher.
@@ashenew No because it was in past... so he used "did" and the base verb
Stephanie Decuir I was thinking of a possible signal word/ time marker , too.👍

He discusses his personal life only with his friends. ➡️Only with his friends does he discuss his personal life.
You changed the tense for some reason. "He discusses his personal life only with his friends". Should be "Only with his friends DOES he discuss his personal life" NOT "did"

His channel is called "Smrt English." What? How smart is that to intentionally misspell a word?
