what about the 16 tenses with would and indirect speech , try to mix everything together. maybe will long but everyone here needs that, we are ready to watch a video for hander time if it includes all tenses with 'would' and 'indirect speech', that is very confused when tenses combine with each other, I know I'm bad at writing and that because tenses
Our teachers usually twist our arms while teaching us these expressions which makes us feel like we gotta bite the bullet to learn these the hard way. Feels like going postal. Those teachers shouldn't give up their day jobs. This is how these should be taught. Bob's your uncle. But, I don't hate them anymore, I've buried the hatchet now. Anyways, I usually don't like videos on UA-cam but here I'd have to pay the piper. I'm going belly up with words now so I'll quit cold turkey my comment here and move on to the next video as Elvis has left the building for this one.
Another great lesson from Adam, one of the best online English teachers.

Sir I'm an Indian you are teaching very nice 🎉❤
We like your lessons 👍
Interesting lesson as always! Greetings from Italy 😁
I heard another explanation of "bite the bullet".
During the time of muskets every soldier had several prepared paper charges with a bullet and a dose of powder for quick reload. So, he had to bite the bullet, put the powder inside the musket and then put the bullet.
And the meaning of the phrase is "to achieve a pleasant goal be ready to start with an unpleasant action" because gunpowder tastes not good.
Thanks a bunch dear intelligent teacher ❤❤❤
A very useful lesson. Would like to see more about common expressions and the story behind them, a bit of etymology. It really helps to understand English more. So I don't get why you apologize for explaining not as fast as some viewers think you should explain. In my opinion your explanation was understandable, and quite brief. I am one of those weird people who love watching to understand and use, not only to listen to anything quickly and forget in a minute.

Bury the hatchet? Like Native Americans in the old days?
Actually, this expression exists in other languages as well. So I guess its really old stemming from ancient times
