  • How to use the Phrase 'Would Have Been' in Fluent English

In the above example, if I had not been sick.   You can also use “would have been bet

    20/12/2019 Duration: 14min

    “How have you been?” is a common question from native English speakers. It’s asking what you have been up to and how life has been for you from from a certain point in time. Perhaps you’re being asked how you’ve been doing since the last time you saw each other. Or maybe since the last time you spoke on the phone.

  • How to Answer the Question “How Are You?”

    04/12/2019 Duration: 15min

    I’m sure one of the very first things you learned to say in English was, “How are you?” --> Join the waitlist for the complete English course: https://gonaturalenglish.com/prereg People will probably ask you this question A LOT! It’s really easy to answer, but there are a few things to remember. Here’s how to feel comfortable answering this question, every time. 1. “HOW ARE YOU?” IS SIMPLY ANOTHER WAY TO SAY HELLO — HERE’S HOW TO ANSWER Most of the time, we use this question as a polite way to say hello, and you don’t need to say anything about how you are really feeling. Say one or two positive words, thank them for asking, and ask them the same question. Any of these answers will work almost all of the time: “Great, thank you. How are you?” (very positive) “Good, thanks, and you?” (positive – this is the most common answer) “Fine, thanks. How are you?” (a little less positive – I’m okay) Your answer will depend on the person who is asking, and how well you know them.

  • Expressing a Future Action: When To Use “Will” And “Going To”

    27/11/2019 Duration: 13min

    Hi everyone! Today we’ll learn about a common and confusing concept involving expressing a future action. This is about when to use WILL and GOING TO. Both of them refer to future actions. Although in some cases they can be interchangeable, because there are multiple ways of expressing the same thing in English. However, knowing which one you think is best really just depends on what you’re trying to say. Like I said before, you can use both WILL and GOING TO in the same sentence with no change in the meaning, but you really have to ask yourself what it is you’re really trying to say. So, you have to pay attention to the different types of situations so you can understand which of these two choices will be the best option when expressing a future action.
