Thanks a lot, I was wondering about this informal contractions, but now I have a feeling better about speaking and I'm enthusiastic for speek english more and more in formal way.
Yes, good observation! As I said, it's ok to use them a bit when you speak, but be careful: songs are good to help with comprehension, but you shouldn't necessarily copy the language, particularly from rap songs ;).
Max, please make a video about infinitives ING vs TO. Today I’ve asked by my coworker what’s difference between “stopped to smoke and stopped smoking” I explained and we had a disagreements though. I really appreciate it if you do. Anyway, thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks for your efforts. I want to give you million thumbs up, but as you UA-cam haven't created this option yet. but l can say by every strong and trust l have that you are the best.
Very informative and this is going to help me a lot. Sometimes I use contractions but from now I will try to use little. I will instead I'll🙂🙂 improvement 👍
Great tips! I was looking for some tips like these ones, but I couldn't find them until now. Could you please tell me if it's fine to use contractions in the IELTS speaking test? Thank you very much! :)
I'm glad it helped! It's absolutely fine to use contractions with apostrophes like I'm, don't, it's, they'll, etc. in the speaking section. However, I think it's safer not to use contractions like coulda, woulda, gonna, etc. Some markers might think it's ok, but others might not. I hope that helps!
Hello I really like this lesson! Thank you so much I don't have doubts about contractions anymore!!!!! Thank you so so so much! I have a question for you!!! Where are you from? ( the reason is because I love your accent!) Teacher can you please make a video about how to pronounce the articles "a" "an" and "the" in English?
I'm very happy it was helpful! I'm Australian :), but I don't have a strong Australian accent. I have several other videos planned, but I'll definitely add that to the list! Thanks for your comment!
I've come across a few odd things regarding contractions. Well, actually just one in particular. It's there'll. For some reason, most spell check programs fail to recognize this as a legitimate word and, as far as I can remember, it is. It just perturbs me sometimes to see that little red line pop up below a word that I know is correct.
Teacher Max, Can we say " I'll be having a detailed discussion with my colleagues tomorrow morning during the handover period/ transition period"? Transition or handover period? Which one is correct?
Salut, Tu es superbe. C'est très intéressant ce que tu dis. Could you give me a hand? When "to" is it a preposition? Could you give me 2 or 3 tips to find it out? Because the replacement with "in order to" does not always work with me, lol. I want to figure out when using "-ing" after "to". Bises.
Merci beaucoup :). Often "to" is like "à" in French. A couple of examples: I am going to Sydney tomorrow. I gave the present to my sister. But sometimes it's different to French: He is always nice to me. (Il est toujours gentil avec moi.) It would take quite a while to explain "-ing" after "to" :), but this page might help: www.quora.com/How-do-I-remember-the-rule-a-gerund-used-after-%E2%80%98to%E2%80%99-i-e-when-to-use-ing-form-after-to I hope that helps!
Pas mal ! (c'est une litote). Je crois que j'ai compris la philosophie de la chose, même si certains exemples sont difficiles à saisir. C'est un sujet de grammaire qui est trop mal connu. Pas de vidéo là-dessus ? Many thanks, I might have some more questions in the futur.... Hihihi. Good bye.
You just taught me a new word! (litote) 😀 Haha, no, not yet. I have several other videos planned at the moment, but maybe in the future I'll do some more advanced grammar! Merci pour tes commentaires :).
Thank you :). Haha, yes, he's a pretty cat... and sometimes he's nice 😂. Both "as usual" and "as always" are correct, but I think we say "as usual" more often. At least I say it more often ;).
When i was in school, i had learned to say "je ne sais pas" for "i dont know". When i was in france, all i heard was: sch'PA. I think black people use a lot of contractions, dont they? Everytime i watch a video from the hood they always talk like: aint this, aint that.
Thanks a lot, I was wondering about this informal contractions, but now I have a feeling better about speaking and I'm enthusiastic for speek english more and more in formal way.
Thank you for your explanation of when to use contractions.
Hello, Max! I like to see that your channel, slowly but surely, grows up! Keep it that way!
Thank you very much for your support :). I hope it grows too :).
Thank you for the the class professor Max. I am your follower from Mexico 🇲🇽
Apart from lesson you have shared, lot more information regarding contraction, where to use or not...liked it. Thank u
Hi Max. (The most beautiful English teacher on the internet.) I liked this lesson a lot. I gave it a thumbs up. I'll be waiting for the next one. Bye!
Thanks a lot, Julio! I'm glad you liked it. I was afraid some people might find it a bit boring, but I think it's an important topic ;).
Thank you so much Max.
Very interesting information and a wise advice !
Efficient comparison with "tu as" and "t'as" in French.
Good job!
Thanks very much! (And it's nice to hear from a French speaker that the comparison was ok 😉.)
Great video!
I've noticed shoulda and coulda are much used in songs, especially by american singers.
Yes, good observation!
As I said, it's ok to use them a bit when you speak, but be careful: songs are good to help with comprehension, but you shouldn't necessarily copy the language, particularly from rap songs ;).
First a like, then watching! :) Thanks, Max!

Very informative and this is going to help me a lot.
Sometimes I use contractions but from now I will try to use little. I will instead I'll🙂🙂 improvement 👍
I'm glad it was useful!
It's fine to use "I'll" in speech and informal writing, just not in formal writing. 😀
Great tips! I was looking for some tips like these ones, but I couldn't find them until now. Could you please tell me if it's fine to use contractions in the IELTS speaking test? Thank you very much! :)

welcome . i really learned
Hi Teacher Max, I have a question for you and how do we say for that? " I turn up the aircon/T.V very high or fully". How to say it? Thank's
That's correct. I turn up the aircon/TV fully. OR: I turn up the aircon/TV fully. :)

That's true! It's happened to me as well. Very odd seeing as you can find it in dictionaries 😂.
E.g. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/there'll
You can use WANNA when you're talking to your cat😻.
Just like she did at the end of the video . "Oh you WANNA go... ok, ok Ok" 😂😂
Haha, good observation! Yes, because Monty's my friend 😀.
English with Max
Monty is just as cute as yourself. You both make good friends.
Bjuti
nice video mam
Thank you!
Thank you! (from a not native speaker)
Teacher Max, Can we say " I'll be having a detailed discussion with my colleagues tomorrow morning during the handover period/ transition period"? Transition or handover period? Which one is correct?
I would say "transition period", but some people might say "handover period". ;)

Awesome
contraction, constriction, shrinkage, tone, pang, shrinking& are they all same meaning?
They have similar meanings, but are used in different situations and contexts.
thank you
Nice tysm

Hi,Max.Thanks a lot.You`ve been very helpfull.As usual.Or it`s better to say "as always"? Or it`s not natural at all?
P.S.
BTW, u got a nice cat. :)
Thank you :).
Haha, yes, he's a pretty cat... and sometimes he's nice 😂.
Both "as usual" and "as always" are correct, but I think we say "as usual" more often. At least I say it more often ;).
Thank you for your quick respond. See yah :).

Please help me English improv tips
Max, you are nice girl, and doing nice video, thank you))
My pleasure :).
It would be nice if you changed "wanna, gonna, coulda" into other words.
😀😀आज आप एक दादी की तरह दिख रही है।😀😀
die Brille steht dir gut..
Danke schoen :)
You are so so so beautiful .that dimple on your left cheek has made you a complete queen 👑 .my question is why are you the paragon of beauty???🤗🤗🤗
When i was in school, i had learned to say "je ne sais pas" for "i dont know". When i was in france, all i heard was: sch'PA.
I think black people use a lot of contractions, dont they? Everytime i watch a video from the hood they always talk like: aint this, aint that.
Well, I wouldn't generalise like that. Normally it depends on where people are from - the region, the part of the city, etc. 😉
Thanks a lot!❤
