Thank you so much, tomorrow I need to explain this grammar to the whole class. I am certainly sure that my English is better than my teacher's because I have been learning English for 6,7 years and I still enjoy learning it.The only major problem is that my teacher keep's insisting that there is a difference between prefer and would rather but I think they are mostly the same.
I love you very so much. You're really my best teacher if to study grammar or to know any new grammar in English. Like this video I just had had no idea just after found out it on this magnificent channel for very beautiful good teacher ever.
Thank you for this lesson! I didn't know the difference in tenses when talking about someone else. I mean: I'd rather watch your lessons. I'd rather you watched her lessons. 😎
Please can you help, I have a question which is : with " would rather + subject + past simple tense " if I use "than", should the verb after "than" be in the past simple too?? Which one is correct : I'd rather you took a taxi than wait or waited for a bus ???
Hi Lohith, thank you for your suggestion and I have put it on my list of upcoming lessons. In the meantime, just to let you know I have lessons on all the conditionals here: ua-cam.com/video/PiBLQfNb8RQ/v-deo.html Hope that helps!
Hi Sarah, I always enjoy learning grammar with you. I think the answer is "stayed", isn't it ? Could you please explain to me how to use the word "individual" in essay writing ? Can we use it as substitute for 'people' ,'person'or 'one' ? I will be grateful to you for your reply.
Hi Natalie, yes you are right! Well done! As for individual in essay writing. Here's what I found in the Cambridge dictionary: a single person or thing, especially when compared to the group or set to which they belong: Every individual has rights which must never be taken away. Like many creative individuals, she can be very bad-tempered. We try to treat our students as individuals. More examples The new tax system would be calculated on the value of property owned by an individual. It's a global problem - what can individuals do about it? He's an extremely unattractive individual, don't you think? The complexity and costliness of the judicial system militate against justice for the individual. The government has been encouraging individuals to opt out of the state pension scheme. Hope that helps!
Hi you're doing such a great job. But I have a question maybe you can help me. I did an exercise about "would prefer" and this exercise said:"I would prefer learning English to learning Spanish" but my answer was " I would prefer to learn English rather than learn Spanish" but it was saying that I was wrong. Maybe you can help me. take care
"Alice prefers to read a book rather than a magazine" is a general preference. Shouldn`t it be - "Alice would rather read a book than rea a magazine" since we`re talking about a specific preference here?
The first sentence is a general preference, you're right. But if you wanted to use would rather you could say, "Alice would rather read this book than that magazine." I hope that helps!
Could someone pls kindly tell me : "I would rather Amy adopted a cat than (buy / bought) one now. " Which one is correct? "I would rather Amy had adopted a cat than (buy / had bought) one last month." Which one is correct?
Certainly! Let's go through the sentences one by one to identify the correct usage. 1. Present/Future Preference "I would rather Amy adopted a cat than (buy / bought) one now." Correct: "I would rather Amy adopted a cat than buy one now." Explanation: "Would rather" is followed by a past simple verb ("adopted") to express a preference for the present or future. The second part should use the base form of the verb ("buy") because it is parallel to the verb "adopted" in expressing a preference. 2. Past Preference "I would rather Amy had adopted a cat than (buy / had bought) one last month." Correct: "I would rather Amy had adopted a cat than had bought one last month." Explanation: When expressing a preference about a past action, "would rather" is followed by the past perfect ("had adopted"). The second part should also use the past perfect ("had bought") to maintain consistency in the past time frame. So, the correct sentences are: "I would rather Amy adopted a cat than buy one now." "I would rather Amy had adopted a cat than had bought one last month."
@@oxfordenglishnow Thank you very much!! If you hadn't told me, I would have thought the correct answer was 1.) "I'd rather Amy (adopted) ... than (bought) one now" [in order to maintain (superficial) 'parallel" structure] and 2.) "I'd rather she (had adopted)... than (bought)" because in the 2nd part, we usually don't need the auxiliary verb. I've searched Google and couldn't find relevant information about this.

At about 4:00 or after, isn't that using subjunctive? It would be in Spanish.

Hope that helps!

Hi, I don't know why it said it was wrong, it isn't. Hope that helps.
I used to create my own sheets of grammar , based upon the subject. Mr. Ex took hold of them? Somehow. Possibly.
Hi Maria, Sorry to hear Mr. Ex took them. Have a nice day!
.... or would you rather I stayed here...💕❤️
@@mariamkinen8036 that's right! well done!
I'm back on track with my analytical thinking , n I haven't been brainwashed
Hi Maria, glad to hear it!
Prefer= like sth better than sth else . I'd rather is a general preference .
Hi Maria, good comment! Thanks 😊
