Brushed up my understanding of models. Thanks. I use them in my stories more confidently and accurately now.
Happy to hear that, Rizwan. A student asked a good question in the comments about "had better" vs. "better." "Had" is sometimes dropped from "had better" in spoken English, but we don't drop it in writing. I'd only drop it if one of your characters were speaking, so the quoted speech could be relaxed and informal. ("You better come here now," he said in a serious tone.) Just wanted to note that.
The best English lesson ever!!😍😍
Thank you for the enthusiastic support, Hamza!
Hello Jennifer! Good to see you! It was such an informative lesson and interesting. I got some understanding of the scale for necessity and using modal verbs to express that. Excellent! Thanks a lot! I have never been abroad, but as for me, the UK is like a fairyland. They have a Monark and democracy simultaneously. I think Megxit is not bad coz they got a little freedom more for their lives. I haven't understood Vicki well coz I have been learning American English. Thank you again! Have a great weekend!
I'm happy you liked the lesson, Sergei. Yes, the scale helps me when I think of modals of necessity. In the future, we'll have to study modals of certainty in a similar way. It's interesting how the UK has a monarchy and a democracy. Right? I'm glad I invited Vicki to contribute so that your ears were tested! Happy Valentine's Day!
@@Englishwithjennifer Thank you! I look forward to a new lesson on certainty.
Thank you teacher. Everything is very great 👍
Thank you! 😃
Great explanations! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this.
I was very lucky to have your contribution, Vicki! Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.
Hi Jennifer this video was very important to me
Thank you so much have a great weekend you and your family 😉🇧🇷
I'm happy you value the lesson. Thank you for watching, Aparecido. :)
Happy Valentine's Day!
@@Englishwithjennifer for you too have a beautiful night 😉
Modals*,*
I've been waiting for this lesson.I got excited when I saw it.I wish you would make another one.
Thank you! It sounds great to see an American teacher speaking about the British royal family!
I know a lesson on modals was long overdue. I'll likely make another lesson on modals of certainty at some point. Those are the two main divisions in my mind. Yes, Americans like me have some curiosity when it comes to Queen Elizabeth II and her family. :) The TV series The Crown made our admiration grow only more.
MUST
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light
HAVE TO
At some point, you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life
NEED TO
You don't always need a plan
Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and see what happens
Those are very thought-provoking examples. Thank you for sharing them.
thanks for this interesting lesson
You're very welcome.
Your way of teaching is great i like it a lot

Hello mam , can we use two models verbs together ? As you can see in this sentence there are two modal verbs ( should + semi modal have to leave)
Or is it possible with others models two ( would , could and may)
Ex:
If you should ever have to leave a movie before it is over, be quite as you exit the theater.
Yes, you can use "should have to" in that sentence.
We can't put two modals together, however. (Example "must" + "should")
This is a very interesting lesson. Just as interesting as the Megxit debate is the lesson on modals and semi-modals. I am now noticing English websites lumping them in together. Some come in collocation form (had better, could have) and there is one that has somehow passed me by: 'ought.;
'Ought' has to be a modal verb because it is not an infinitive. Just with the well-known modals (can, may, will, shall, might. must, would, could, should) we can't put 'to' in front of it, nor can we add a prefix or suffix. I OUGHT to have spotted this when I gave my lesson on modals. However, it only works as a collocation: 'ought to.' Maybe this is why 'ought' doesn't make it to the 'official' list of modal verbs. We can see how it varies from the rest:
I can.
I may.
I will.
I shall.
I might.
I must.
I would.
I could.
I should.
I ought!!! - Oh dear! That doesn't work, but 'I ought to' does.
Indeed, not everyone agrees on a list of modals and (especially) semi-modals. In the end, maybe it matters less what we label things and more how we use them. As long as we agree on use and meaning, then all is well! "Ought to" can't be broken up, and it's recognized by most dictionaries as a modal. www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/ought-to "Need" is more complicated. I think using "need" as a true modal verb is more common in British English. Our use of the modal "need" is so limited in American English that I decided not to include it here. (Need I say more?) Maybe in an advanced grammar video I'll address "need" in more detail. "Used to" and "shall" are also interesting to discuss. So much to talk about, so little time!
Thanks for the comment and for the wonderful contribution!
@@Englishwithjennifer It's good to give modal verbs the spotlight - They are vital verbs in the English language. The 'to be' verb, the verb-subject agreement and the forms of 'be' also take their place in a list of areas learners must know.
Need - A verb and a noun
I need to learn modal verbs. (verb)
We have a great need to learn this subject (noun)
As a semi-modal verb, it is very strong in intensity, coming ahead of the others in the necessity stakes.
We can talk more about "need" in a future video. It's quite versatile. Thank you again for your contribution!
Nice lesson i like it
Thank you, Said.
Hello ma'am
How are u doing?🤗
Ma'am , which is correct?👇
"I am persuing graduation at oxford university."
or
"i am persuing graduation from oxford university."
please answer
You can pursue a degree. You don't pursue graduation. I'd suggest:
I am studying at Oxford University.
I would like to apply to Oxford University.
I would like to get a degree from Oxford University.
I'm studying at Oxford University, and I'll graduate [next year].
Hi ma'am
would u plsss answer
"If u see the ground is wet, what will u ask?
Has it been raining?
or
Has it rained?
please answer ma'am
please🙏
Yes, it's okay to use the present perfect progressive: Has it been raining?
Most Americans would likely use the simple past: Did it rain earlier? / Oh, I guess it rained. / Hmm. It looks like it rained a little.
Some might use the past progressive: Why is everything wet? - It was raining earlier.
@@Englishwithjennifer thank u ma'am😍😍😍😍
Great explanation ! but i cant understand the ing form in this example .
I have to be going .
How can we use it in progressive form as we use progressive form for the action which is in middle .
Suppose if i have an urgent work and my friends insist me to go with them for party . So , i will say ; sorry guys I have to go but how can I can say I have to be going?
"have to" + base verb = necessity (like "must")
We can use a progressive form (BE + present participle): I have to be leaving now. (I must leave now.)
Also: I have to be going. / I have to get going.
It's an action that is happening or about to happen. This wording is common in conversation when we need to announce our intention to leave.
Love you. A
Thank you for the warm support, Andrea. Enjoy the weekend!
Hi Jennifer.
Actually I don't know why people give this action ' megxit' more than it deserves.
This is the last thing I would think about.
Even though they are no longer part of the loyal family, they still have a big future because they are famous and every company around the world will be proud if they work for.
For example if you put their photo on a biscuit showing that they like it, so many people will buy it.
Ha ha. So true. You can put their photo on a cookie or a mug, and it will sell. They have a brand now called Royal Sussex. Maybe they already have merchandise. I don't know. I follow the news a little, but I'm not going to buy merchandise. A good number of Americans like to see a glamorous life in photos and on the screen. If we like the people living that lifestyle, we don't begrudge them what they have. As a society, we were very fond of Princess Diana, and we watched her raise her two sons. Now that Diana is gone, we take interest in the lives of her children and generally wish them well. The wives, Kate and Meghan, have carried themselves with grace, so we have a positive opinion of them. They're also very pretty, and that makes them more attractive to the public. Films and documentaries have taught us to admire Queen Elizabeth II and her father, so that also feeds into the generally favorable opinion Americans have of the royal family.
Correction: every company around the world would be proud to do business with them. (would be proud if they worked for them ->> This gets confusing with "them.)
@@Englishwithjennifer thank you so much Jennifer for correcting my mistake.
I've also learned a new word which is 'begrudge'.
Hello ,Can we use double modals in formal writing ?
.I have read on internet they are not used in standard English. And secondly mam there is little material about it on internet.
I don't really use the term "double modals," but if you mean the use of "should" followed by "have to," then it certainly can happy and it would be recognized as standard, at least in American English.
Listen to examples:
youglish.com/pronounce/should%20you%20have%20to/english?
Hi happy Friday
To you as well, Vaithy!
Sometimes we use only better instead of 'd better so is it right grammar? I will write a sentence as an example such as, you better stay home and finish your home work.
Hi Idrish! :) A very good observation. Yes, some speakers drop "had" in conversation, but when you write this modal verb, use the full form unless the context is very informal. Thank you for noting that!
Hello Ms. Jennifer! Do you have a grammar book that you would suggest us to use? Thank you.
Hello. You may be able to find a copy of the high intermediate grammar book I co-authored for Pearson, but it's mainly sold to institutions. www.englishwithjennifer.com/store/ For self-study, you may like Azar and Hagen's Understanding and Using English Grammar. Look for one with an answer key.
Are these the modals of certainty? Jennifer!
Will, be going to, would, may, might, could, can, must, have to!!
Modal verbs can express necessity or certainty.
(necessity) Everyone must wait their turn.
(certainty) My keys must be around here somewhere.
@@Englishwithjennifer
Yeah! I'm trying to study modals. Sometimes I like to challenge myself.
Hi ma'am
would u please clear my doubt
"If Mr X is wearing a t-shirt , and there is an quote on it about some celebrity Mr. X likes."
then
what could he say when asked about the celebrity
"If i didnt like him, i wouldnt buy the t-shirt."
or
"If i didnt like him, i wouldnt have bought the t-shirt."
please answer ma'am
please
Correct: If I didn't like him, I wouldn't have bought the shirt./ If I didn't like him, I wouldn't be wearing the shirt.
@@Englishwithjennifer thank u so much ma'am
A big big thank u
Hello teacher i wanted to ask you what do you called the action of opening suitcase means do we call pull up the suitcase handle,or pull out the suitcase handle nd also if we pull the handle down do we say pull down the handle of the suitcase....
Hi. You pull up the handle, and you push it back down. They call it a telescopic handle. You may also hear people say it's a collapsible or retractable handle.
@@Englishwithjennifer can u plz give me some example sentence so that i can understand how can we use the word which u r telling me..
It's a collapsible handle. The handle is retractable.
I may come tomorrow....This sentence is in present tense or Future tense?...I am totally confused....
You're talking about a future possibility.
I will come tomorrow. = a firm promise
I may come tomorrow. = a future possibility
I might come tomorrow. = a future (possibly weaker) possibility
Hello teacher can u plz tell me if we have to say that we didn't used to in past how can we correctly use ,like will we say," i was not used to speak english "or "i didnt used to speak english..."
didn't use to (do something) = You didn't in the past, but now you do.
>> He didn't use to complain so much, but now he complains all the time.
wasn't/weren't used to (doing something) = You were not accustomed to that. It was new and unfamiliar.
>>Julie wasn't used to loud music, but her roommate loved hard rock, so Julie soon got used to the noise.

@@Englishwithjennifer teacher you didn't tell me that my sentence was right or wrong..
Incorrect:
"i was not used to speak english "or "i didnt used to speak english..."
You could say, "I didn't speak English back then. Now I do."
Hello ma'am
Could you please fix my problem that is (uses of these two)"WHICH vs THAT" . Confusing a lot
WHICH/THAT as relative pronouns can refer back to a thing. However, "that" can only be used in identifying (restrictive) clauses. More info in my playlist on adjective (relative) clauses.

Can i say " i am studying english honours at oxford university."( if we want to mention course)??
Yes. If that's the name of the course. For example, if you're studying history there, you could say, "I'm taking a history course at Oxford."

Thank you for watching this lesson.
Hello mam, good morning ! Should is used for giving and taking advice but your friend vicki used should in question . sorry but I can't get why she used should here in this sentence as she is not giving advice neither taking from aynone . It appears to me as she is asking a question but i completely didn't understand the use of should here. Please help me !
Ex: why should British taxpayers pay to support the royal family ?
"Should" can be for advice, but it has other uses.
1. She should be her by now. Where is she? >> certainty & expectations (I expected her to be here by now.)
2. Why should I do that? >> obligation (Why am I obligated to do that?)
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching, Rose.
I think the members of the royal family should be allowed to leave their official duties.
I think that taxpayers do not have to continue to support the royal family.
I think many would agree with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :)
