    At 5:50 the words don't match subtitles (I'am going to look bad) and (I'am going to HAVE look bad). What expression is more natural?

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  4 роки тому

      They're both similar, Arman. One uses 'have to' to emphasize the external force that the situation will make her have to look bad. The other simply states what will happen in the future (she is going to look bad). It depends on the meaning you want to convey, but using 'I'm going to look bad' is more straightforward.

    Hi Lori, At 13.15 you use phrase (It turns out she was going down at the same time). Please could you clarify, may I say (It happened that she was going down at the same time)? And Is it correct if Present simple tense (It turns out) is used with Past continuous tense (She was going down)?

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  4 роки тому

      Hi Arman, we use 'it turns out' to have a similar meaning to 'actually', as something happened that we did not expect. You can use the past form 'it turned out' as well as the present simple 'it turns out' in this situation. It's a bit different than saying 'happened' alone. Instead, we would use 'happen' in a phrase like this: 'She happened to be going down at the same time'. 'Happen to be' and 'turn out' refer to the same idea of an unexpected situation.
