Thank you, Marie and Oli, for the helpful lesson. Thanks to the lesson, I also reviewed all my knowledge about using "be" in English and other related knowledge. The five tests given in this lesson gave me the opportunity to measure my English skills and especially my "be" skills. They contain really delicate knowledge about the use of "be" in different situations. I have discovered my mistakes and I hope that way I will improve my English even further. I will definitely refer back to the lesson again when needed. See you in another lesson. Bye.

@Oxfordonlineenglish1

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Hanan, I believe it should read something like: 'The most important thing is to...'. After 'to' you want to follow with an infinitive verb form, as the context of the sentence is describing an action which is important. So 'to + try' is a good fit here. Does that help?

@ChillinLikeBobDyllan

4 жыл бұрын

"Is" is talking about "The most important thing", so you would say "to try" (in this case) to further explain what the most thing is. There are other examples such as: The best cheat is to study, the worst part is to confess, etc... One thing to note: you need something after "the most". For example: The most important, the most inspiring, the most tempting, etc...

Hello, I got my CAE exam grade some weeks ago, but I definitely don’t agree with it. I heard there is a way to submit enquiries about our results, after we pay a fee for it. Do you know if there are big chances of having any changes in our grades after we do that? Do you think it’s worth it paying for it to try to get any changes? Or do you think it’s not very likely to happen?

Oxford Online English ok, thank you very much for your answer. 🤗

To my astonishment, level 5 was kinda tough. I was able to make it though. Anyway, what almost got me was the 3rd sentence of level 5 as to what your answer to it is. Needless to say, the passive form of "must+verb1" is "must+be+verb3". As far the 3rd sentence, its answer should be "must be redecorated" because it's grammatically correct. "Must be being redecorated" might be possible but rather awkward thereby I think it's grammatically incorrect. Could you tell me if we can use it in formal situations? Another thing is, in the video about "English Modal Verbs to Express Possibility' what one of the teachers says that "could" in terms of negative possibilities in the present and future can't be used but "may" or "might". But, in the full script of the video on your website what I found was the following sentence in negative and its meaning at that, He couldn’t/can’t know about it yet. The sentence, with can/could, means It’s impossible that he knows. In this case we’re certain that he doesn’t know. What is my doubt which has been getting me so badly is about the word " impossible", what does it actually mean? Might it mean negative possibility? If so, would it be opposed to what one of the teachers says that "could" in terms of negative possibilities in the present and future can't be used but "may" or "might"? Please, help me with your answers to the two questions. Thank you.

@Oxfordonlineenglish1

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and sharing your answers, Giri. 1) For your first question, you can use it in formal situations, as these words aren't formality-specific. 'Must be redecorated' is a different meaning, similar to: 'It has to be redecorated' in the future. With 'must be being redecorated', we're expressing a guess about something happening now. 2) Yes, 'He couldn’t/can’t know about it yet' means there is no way this person has the ability to know. That is what 'impossible' actually means in that sentence. 'Couldn't' cannot be used to make predictions of possibilities in the future. For example, I can say: 'It might not rain tomorrow' but I cannot say: 'It could not rain tomorrow' to talk about a negative possibility. Hope this helps you!

Good questions! In the sentence: 'I guess the rooms must be being redecorated,' there is emphasis that the are currently being redecorated now, because the speakers in the dialogue can smell the paint as they are speaking.

@Oxfordonlineenglish1

Good question, Andrés! In situations which are more permanent, such as where you live, work, etc., it's more common to use the present perfect tense. You could use present perfect continuous ('has been living') - if she moves around quite often, and is only living in a location for a short amount of time. Hopefully that helps!

For situations such as where you live, work, etc., it's more common to use present perfect 'has been + past participle'. If she hasn't been living there for long, and plans to move again soon, that would be a temporary situation in which you could use present perfect continuous. Hope this helps you!

Number 2 : I think it's possible to write : She has been living here since...instead She has lived here since..Am I wrong? Number 3 : I think it's possible to write : when has the robber been arrested instead of when was the robber arrested. Am I wrong? Number 4 : I think it's possible to write : The room had been cleaned when we arrived instead of the room was being cleaned when we arrived. Am I wrong?

Hi :) i don't know if it'll be helpful or if i may be 100% right but here's my two cents: *Number 2: i do think both sentences are correct. There's not much of a difference really, except for the usage of the present perfect continuous in the 1rst one, and the present perfect in the 2nd one. But the meaning of the sentence is the same. *Number 3: i'd say the correct sentence is 'when was the robber arrested?'. It's talking about a finished action: the robber was caught. It's in the past & it's done [past simple]. *Number 4: the first sentence implies that you arrived to the room & it was already cleaned [finished action]. Whereas, the second sentence implies that you arrived to the room & it was being cleaned still [continuous action] 😁

@@Ay-tw2cb Thank you for your interest in my request. As I said in my previous comment, I think it depends on the context. Ok for the number two. Number 3, I don't have enough information to assume that the action is over. Maybe the robbery has just happened. Some people speculate that the thief has just been spotted. Others say he has vanished in thin air. Others say he has just been arrested. So someone asks: has the robber been arrested or not ? when has the thief been arrested? What is your point of view about my suggestion? Do you think it holds water or I am definitely wrong ? Number 4. The room was being cleaned when we arrived. So I went down to the hotel bar to have a beer. However, if the room had been cleaned when we arrived, I would have been lying on the bed immediately ....Thank you for giving me your opinion.

@@brigittesaint-pe2604 Brigitte saint-pé i get your point for number 3. Context is really important but if this were an actual test and i had to pick one, i'd go with past simple cause here you don't have a context so, it's better not to speculate. At least that's what all my teachers have always advised me... With that being said, i do think that if given a little bit more context, the sentence could be different. It'd be great if the teachers replied to fully erase these doubts but, in the meantime, i hope i was helpful :) Have a great night yourself & let's keep on learning! 💪🏼🤓

@@Ay-tw2cb Hello Thanks a lot for your response. I agree with you. Concerning the number 3, I think it is better not to speculate and use the preterit, if we don't have any clear information about the context. Every time I do tests, I realize that there is only one proposed answer for each question . So, if we don't answer the same way, we can think that our answer is wrong. But, it's not always true. Sometimes, there is more than one answer to a given question..we must be careful with that kind of testing because sometimes, we may think that what we take for granted is wrong but it's not the case. Just another way of looking at the issue. Have a nice day.

@ay99 thanks for the explanations! 100% correct. @Brigitte, you're right that those sentences would be correct, but in the case of (3) and (4), the meaning would be different. In (2), it doesn't matter, as Ay99 explained. Both forms are possible and have the same meaning. In (3), the present perfect would not be possible. A question starting with 'when' which refers to the past can only be about a finished time/action, so only past tenses are possible.
