logeshwaran

Hello James! Thank you for your lessons! May i ask you a question? Could we use ” Mr E can’t be happy” instead of ” Mr E must not be happy”. If yes, what is the difference? Thank for your answer.

Artem

You welcome, I hope you´ve short out your hazy question!! my friend!!! Cheer up!!

sergioss

phan.hang

Thank

andriy

“You must have been tired yesterday.” I am confused, is this perfect present or pass tense?

William

hello William. It is perfect present, but the meaning is past. “You must have been tired yesterday.” It is your logical conclusion based on some facts and present perfect helps you to make the meaning past.

Artem

i have been struggling for over 30 yrs to get my high school diploma and was not successful because of learning disability and for the first time i was looking at rhis video and it is the best thing that ever happpen i was able to understand teacher james may god bless u you are a excellent teacher keep upp the good work

hanna

Hey Mr. James!
I just want to say, that you are my role model. I’m going to become an English teacher, and the way to do your job, the way you explain the material is probably the best I’ve ever seen. I always loved teachers with a nice sense of humor, and I believe that “fun” is an extremely important part of learning, no matter what.
So I look forward to your lessons. Keep being well.
P.S. Mr.engVid I know you read these comments so please let James know about the words above =))
Maybe I’ll motivate him to do more)

licherok

Of course, licherok. James does read the comments too, but I will make sure he does see yours.

very good class!

edyta28

this must have been great lesson teacher, because you must have studied too much this class, I think you must take a vacations, because you must be tired, I think tou must be married and you must have children. I must study mor e english. See you teacher.

Arthur Enriquez

I Have a question that u have made,
He must not happy.
but i think it can also in this way
He must unhappy.

learner

hii learner- don’t mind anything..you have written a sentence – “He …..Happy:”
I would like to let you know that this sentence is not correct because there is not anyverb verb in it.Must is actually the modal but a sentece must have a main verb and in your sentence the main verb would be “to be”-that appropriately fit here and rest of the things are ok..

sona sharma

I thought that I m too stupid to learn English. You show me that It is not true :) I must wacht only your lesson :)

starosta2001

Hi, starosta2001, you made a mistake. It should be”I must only watch your…”

whoareyou

I’ll see this class more then one time, because I don’t understood well.
But I’m so glad for informations and tips.
see you
thanks

lucianobrito

thank you for this lesson,,i understand now clearly …..

cathy011690

Hiii James
First of all, I want to ask you-“How are you?How everything is happening in your life”.I have a problem of the formation of second question from the quiz-The first part of the sentence is in past tense so it logically or grammatically concludes that the rest of the senteces must be in past tense but it has been formed as “It is too far to walk” but I believe that it must have been made in past tense as “It was too far to walk”.Sir,I would like to request you that if I am wrong then please let me tell its correct answer..Awaiting for your reply and also rectify my sentences if anything is found incorrect or inappropriate….

sona sharma

it is nice to watch the video…..awesome!!!

jatinhira

Nice.

fatiima8

Ladka

Hi dude! It”s a best lessons as I have saw earlier

Ivan26rus

good explanation.
you’re my best teacher.

Mohamed

Good teaching, anyway,
Why don’t you give examples and their explanation of “must” in question patterns, for instances,
1) Must I beleive her? .. (Present/necessary)
2) (must) I believe her ? ..(Past /necessary)
3) ……(belive) her? (Past/possibility)

tuknan2004

Thank you.
Can I say.
You must be eating. Necessary.

karimosh123

I like the way you teaching. how can we explain must in interrogative way?

Girum

Rozaliya

Hey James. Nice to know you. Do you have other video about the differences betwenn modals? Really need to understand when I have to use should/have to/might/ etc.

BigChallenge

Thanks for the lesson, it was very useful.

Faity

Wow, this was a complicated lesson because we have to remember the four meaning of “must” as a logical conclusion, strong recommendation, necessity, and prohibition, but after of all I have got to achieve my goals and taking notes I can understand a little better. Thanks a lot, teacher James, as always a good explanation and performance.
