Hi, James. How are you?
If I read all this paper today, [I] will know all [of] the entertainment news
You know if I were smart I would actually buy the whole paper
if you notice something I use the word if if if if and then I use will and would
Now in English will would are actually related
[will] is the present tense would is the past of will but what do they really mean today?
Today We're going to find out come with me my imaginary friends. ready?
okay, I said to you if
If it's a Magic word when when in English hear the word if we know that it's conditional on something
Something has to happen
before something else will happen
So if you study hard, you will learn English well
Okay, so if with will
equals conditional
that means
One thing has to happen in order to the other thing to come true
But I did say would if I?
Were a smarter man I would
Read the whole paper
What does that mean?
Well, this is funny in this case. We're talking about the imaginary sense
What I'm talking about is not real. I'm just imagining it in fact in doing this the verb to be takes on a different
use, let's take a look
if you notice before if you listened, I said a sentence if I something
then, I would be [rich] or I would know more. What was that word that I used
Go back on the time and take [a] look and one second or two the blue screen will tell you what the word was
Did you figure out the word it was were were now That's the verb to be
in the past tense
for plural
When you have if would and were in a sentence, it automatically becomes imaginary and here's the interesting part
When we use it in this sense, I?
She he they are or we and even you all?
Have were if I were smarter
I would do this if you were smarter you would do this if he [were] yes
Yeah, I know if he were not was if he were smarter he would do this
It's an unusual case in English language, but it stands to tell us that what we're talking [about] is
Imaginary you're giving advice to someone saying they're not doing this, but this is what they should do
So when you see if plus would plus were, you know?
It's the imaginary case if you see if plus will you know it's the conditional case?
Let's do a couple of sentences for fun, okay?
Let's say my friend ezekiel wants to go to university
I'm very bad at spelling Ezekiel [was] give a big e, okay?
Now we want to say hmM
We know he doesn't study, but if he did study. He would be a great student
fantastic thumbs up right
when we say
if we know we have that if in both sentences
Ezekiel okay
ba Ba Ba studied he would be a good student and if
something
[to]
now did you see it yet look carefully it's
if+ would
Do you remember word has to go there if we have if and would that's right verb to be right?
were
That's easy killer
If ezekiel were to study he would be a good student
Is he a good student no, that's sorry
But if he were a good student he would study you have to study your english
Let's do the conditional Ezekiel going to talk about ezekiel in conditional
This time we're talking to him now, okay?
And in the conditional sense let's see how that's sentence. We go
if once again, we need this right?
Ezekiel
Okay, [this] made a mistake
What would it [be] if we know it's here, and we don't have what what would we put here?
will
Get good student that's right. It's conditional. If he studies. He will be a good student right now
If I were to pay attention to what I was doing I would be better at the board. I wouldn't make so many mistakes
Anyway, look hope you enjoyed the lesson now. You know when we use will and would and by the way
They're Modals that's another lesson I'm looking forward to teaching. Modals now if we use will and
would we use them in two different ways one is the Imaginary and
One is a conditional look at the blue screen. It will remind you which one is which
Great you remember right if plus will is
conditional if Plus would is
Imaginary and remember the verb to be has to change to were for all conditions
it she I you you get the message then I took a one so there is your lesson for today
