    Efficient comparison with "tu as" and "t'as" in French.
    Good job!

    I've noticed shoulda and coulda are much used in songs, especially by american singers.

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  6 років тому

      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 ;).

    • @EnglishwithMax

      It's fine to use "I'll" in speech and informal writing, just not in formal writing. 😀

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  6 років тому +1

      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!

      That's correct. I turn up the aircon/TV fully. OR: I turn up the aircon/TV fully. :)

  • @emerituse3390
    @emerituse3390 6 років тому

    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.

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  6 років тому +1

      That's true! It's happened to me as well. Very odd seeing as you can find it in dictionaries 😂.

    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?

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  6 років тому

      I would say "transition period", but some people might say "handover period". ;)

    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.

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  6 років тому

      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!

    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?

    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.

    • @EnglishwithMax
