Hi, Gedeon! It might be the best lesson which i've ever watched about may and might. And your "stay mellow" is a great trick. Sounds strange, but it makes you and the channel peculiar and more recognizable! Keep it up!
Dear Gideon I just want to say out loud to everyone that it's worth to learn the language english with you. All we need is YOU GIDEON and your video lessons... FOR ME IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO LEARN THIS LANGUAGE WITH YOU . God bless you Gideon !!!!!!!!!!!!
Your lessons are brilliant and clear as always. The music BTW is great, and puts listeners in the right mood. Even its volume is good, don't change it! Keep up the fantastic work!
I have been exploring ways to teach English to ESL learners more effectively and your lessons have been so helpful because as you mention you really dig deep into the English Language and all your lessons are full of insight.I really love learning from native speakers like you who are full of insight into the language.
I figured out that in the countries where English is not a mother tounge , people tend to make all these mistakes especially with modal verbs,"would",tenses,phrasal verbs etc. and this is because we are used to use the wrong patterns which we've got during school years..I clearly remember my English classes at school and even the final English exam before the university where I was let's say "cool" :) . However, when I faced with really cool native speakers I relazied that the English which I and they have been using was completely different :) That moment was approximately 2 years ago and then I started to listen only native speakers .. Your lessons are far away from typical "english classes" lessons and it's a big help from you !:)) If I've decided to visit Paris , I'll definietly be pleased to attend a couple of classes! Thank you once again !
It seems like some languages have some simple tricks to sounding natural, but I don't know what it would be for English. The one I heard from a friend was when his son was learning Russian. He knew the words and the grammar, and could speak well enough to be understood, but he felt he was not finding the natural flow native speakers have. The help he got from a native speaker was to choose his words so that the word "F**king" (in Russian) could be placed between any of them. You don't have to say it, just leave a place for it to be said if you want to.
Hello Prof. Gedeon. Great Lesson Thank you. But I have a question. You said that it is impossible to use two modals together. But here 05:05 may and have to go together. Why is that? As far as I know have to is a semi-modal. Thank you beforehand!
I really dig your content, but the music during the transitions is so incredibly loud. Could you turn it down a notch in the next videos? Best regards :)
Hi, Gideon! Much appreciated. I really enjoyed watching and learning this very useful lesson on your own great UA-cam channel. Much obliged. 1. What about using "may" in spoken English and "might" in written English? 2. Which is the most polite modal verb according to degree of politeness in English: may or might? Thank you in advance.
Frankly speaking ,you have a good pedagogy method .l have the urge to follow your streaming videos, since they are not only interesting but also efficient to improve my English . so excuse me for my poor English
Hi, thank you for another enlightening lesson on the modal verb. Incidentally, could you kindly explain the difference between question posed that begins with "Have you" and "Did you"? What would a native speaker say if they have doubt whether something has actually been done by beginning the question with "Have you" or "Did you"? Thank you in advance.
Dear Gideon Thank you for the lessons. We've recently bought a package tour, so we are flying to Egypt this month. However, we might travel to Berlin this Summer as well. Sounds great, doesn't it? Hope, it is grammatically correct too. P.S. Double thanks for Kiev from Kiev. :-) Best wishes, Grygorii
Gideon. Please, what about the uses of should? You did say on the vídeo that'd sound rudely as advicing... Now i'm afraid saying "should" and sound rough-ish. Could you give us a hint? Thank you very much
Hi, Kindly provide us with a series of grammar units. As starting with Parts of Speech, then moving for tenses, and then for sentence construction incluuding subject verb agreement. Hope it will work for ESL learners. Regards!!
Thank you Gideon! When should we use maybe or perharps? Suppose someone asks you "Do you think it'll rain in London on March 25, 2672?" Would you say maybe?
Gideon, thank you for the new video, it's very useful - the one I really need. By the way, I'm still wondering, what does it mean - "stay mellow"? Is it "behave yourselves, be good" or something like "don't worry, be happy"? :-)
This is very very useful! Another examples to learn again! But this is not how I use the proper modal verbs for uncertainty things, I usually say, "I think, I will be late at the party." but it does sound a little bit rude! doesn't it? But I've learnt something from it!
There are many words for possibilities. When someone says "I think [something will happen]" it means that with the knowledge that they currently have, this is their best guess. When we say "I may be late" or "I might be" or "It's possible I will be" we are saying that our current information is not enough to say one way or the other. Another you might hear is "Chances are I will be late" or "Odds are I will be late" Saying it is likely to happen, this is from gambling usage.
May you explain to me the Word "the latter" l prefer a bicycle rather than a car the latter has an effect on the environnement... so please is it correct?
Good question. "Latter" is used, as you have shown, when a list of exactly two options or choices has been given, and refers to the one that came last. Mostly it is a shortcut to avoid repeating the whole choice again. Its partner word is "former" which is the shortcut for the first choice. To change your example a bit, "Between bicycles and cars I prefer the former for the exercise, but also because the latter causes pollution." "Former" has another meaning when you are describing a state or condition that existed previously, but does not now "Once I quit my job, my old boss Mike became my former boss." "He changed his name for show business, his former name was too long to fit the movie screen." "I was formerly a bus driver, but I changed jobs and now I am a taxi driver."
Your videos are captivating and very useful, however the difference of volume between the content you are teaching and the music between topics or examples is a bit disturbing. Thank you!
Yes, you are the best english teacher on Tube!
Agreed
@@phfebo May well be 😉
I totally agree with you 👏👏👏🔟🇬🇧
Hi, Gedeon! It might be the best lesson which i've ever watched about may and might. And your "stay mellow" is a great trick. Sounds strange, but it makes you and the channel peculiar and more recognizable! Keep it up!

Hi Prof Gideon, your lesson is so well explained and easy to follow. Thank you!
Professor always wanted to use with his explanation I'm more comfortable using might and may. Valuable tip. Thankful
Hi!! This lesson may be the best i´ve had on this issue!!!
Hello Prof. Gedeon.
Great Lesson Thank you.
But I have a question.
You said that it is impossible to use two modals together. But here 05:05 may and have to go together. Why is that? As far as I know have to is a semi-modal.
Thank you beforehand!
I like yr videos much. Could you turn the music lower? It's pretty loud compared with your voice!
This video has been extremely useful for me. Thanks Gideon!
Thanks a million
You're my fav teacher on UA-cam. Your every lesson is a wee gift.👍👌
I really dig your content, but the music during the transitions is so incredibly loud. Could you turn it down a notch in the next videos? Best regards :)
I'll do my best
LetThemTalkTV You are the best :) Actually reacting to constructive criticism... Never thought that day would come on UA-cam ^^
Lesson learnt: You might want to turn the music down next time. ;)
I totally agree. Is so annoying 😖
Hi, Gideon! Much appreciated. I really enjoyed watching and learning this very useful lesson on your own great UA-cam channel. Much obliged.
1. What about using "may" in spoken English and "might" in written English?
2. Which is the most polite modal verb according to degree of politeness in English: may or might?
Thank you in advance.
1. For me you can use both for written or spoken the difference is in the meaning not the formality.
2. As above
Thanks
Anytime.
1978ajax Thanks for the answer and your explanation. Much appreciated.
Frankly speaking ,you have a good pedagogy method .l have the urge to follow your streaming videos, since they are not only interesting but also efficient to improve my English . so excuse me for my poor English
Hi teacher, would you tell me what do you mean by telling Stay mellow? Thanks in advance.
Excellent lessons
What about 'ought to'? Can it be used as a synonym to 'should' or is it an archaism that should not be used in everyday speech?
Hi, thank you for another enlightening lesson on the modal verb. Incidentally, could you kindly explain the difference between question posed that begins with "Have you" and "Did you"? What would a native speaker say if they have doubt whether something has actually been done by beginning the question with "Have you" or "Did you"?

Pleasant lessons

Dear Gideon
Thank you for the lessons.
We've recently bought a package tour, so we are flying to Egypt this month.
However, we might travel to Berlin this Summer as well.
Sounds great, doesn't it? Hope, it is grammatically correct too.
P.S. Double thanks for Kiev from Kiev. :-)

Thank you very much
Amazing class thank you sir! Regards from Mexico!👍🏻🎓🇬🇧👏
You the man! Bravo. By the way I 've heard a French emergency vehicle seren. Do you live you in France?
Excellent. Thank you.

Marvellous lesson. Thank you very much indeed. A
Thank you so much for this helpful video :")
My pleasure
Thank you sir ....Accept the gratitude from India ❤❤
This video is pretty useful, as usual! Stay mellow 😎
Thanks. I'll follow that advice
Thank you Gideon!
When should we use maybe or perharps?
Suppose someone asks you "Do you think it'll rain in London on March 25, 2672?" Would you say maybe?
May/Might you often use before a verb. Otherwise certainly you can use MAYBE but MIGHT is possible too. Do you think it will rain? Maybe / it might.
Hi,very clear and useful lesson
Thank you very much
Who's the sound operator of this video?
It’s so useful and awesome thank you
Gideon, thank you for the new video, it's very useful - the one I really need. By the way, I'm still wondering, what does it mean - "stay mellow"? Is it "behave yourselves, be good" or something like "don't worry, be happy"? :-)
Thanks for your comment. I'll let you know as soon as I have a good answer
Thank you ☺
You're welcome
Great video as always! Thank you sir, I'm learning a lot of things from you. Keep going 👍
Thanks! I'll do that.
I liked very much your video. I understand it completely. I'm going to pass for my friends. Thanks.
Thank you, Gideon! Your videos are always useful! :-)
Think you very much!

Your explanation is really effective for me but I feel like it may be effective for the other students or It might be effective for them.
Can you explain the right use of "ONLY" please.
Perfect ! I know now how to use it.
Outstanding!
Thanks
Thanks ❤
Very helpful and useful
And what about may & might in question tags?
Tanx for the lessons
May you explain to me the Word "the latter" l prefer a bicycle rather than a car the latter has an effect on the environnement... so please is it correct?

Brilliant asalways!!!
Hi Gideon! I didn't uderstand if a student can ask a teacher "may/might I go to the toilet?"
Thankyou
For me everything is perfect! Maria Luiza Rodrigues Acerbi
Big like 🌷
So, in what situations is "maybe" used?
Also, what is the difference between "maybe" and "perhaps"?
If there is one ;)
I immediately thought of my favorite oasis song, some might say 😊
Thanks
Quite interesting
Thank u
You're welcome
Are you british or american accent?
Thanks for videos!
Please normalize sound level.
It's very annoying! You voice is quiet, but splash screen is very loud!
I love the lessons but not the background music, it's too loud but your volume is low
nice
cheers
