How come that thanni becomes tawny Th as in mouth n as in pen with double articulation I as in city What has the pronunciation toni to do with that? Eastern mispeincuatiins are the result of misteaching.and sometimes bad teaching.

Those examples make it so much easier to remember! Thank you~

Hi Gideon! Great lesson! I can’t believe in the use of “were” for all persons!! Didn’t know that!! Thanks goodness there’s the informal english... all the best for you 😀😘

this point of grammar is very very interesting..thanks

Thank you! those examples make it so much clearer!

I really love your way of teaching. Thank you so much.

Pretty happy to find your channel..the best teacher you are!

Incredible!

Even though the content is really useful, I find it extremely difficult to apply while talking. For native speakers like you, things would come intuitively. But being a non-native speaker, it takes too much effort to apply these rules in daily conversations making you almost paralytic. Even while watching the video, I can't form the right sentences. I can't imagine what a task it would be to think about these grammar rules before forming a sentence in my head while talking. Of course, I have the liberty of time while writing but while talking, it's a different ball game for us. Thanks for the content anyways.

I massively relate to this. What I've been trying to do is to subconsciously think in English, when talking in the language, as opposed to thinking in my native language, then translate it to English. It's a hard task, indeed! But I'm challenged when I do things that are hard!

I wish I could have some mulligatawny....

It's an amazing lesson. Thank you so much.

this guy is genius! God bless you Sir

It drives me crazy to hear someone say something like, "I wished I didn't eat 12 donuts." My brain comes to a screeching halt.

Really perfect lesson! Thx greatly!

Great video lesson. I wish I had an imaginary friend like yours who could explain all these topics so clearly as yours does

I wish I knew about these rules earlier!

This is hilarious and so clear. Relatively new English teacher here, I must admit that I've learnt a lot from this video. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for this video, it helped me to understand this rule I want you to make a video about IF and its alternatives

"I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her." Couldn't stop thinking of that song during the skit. Great video!

Best explanation by far

You are great sir.

I thought it was the subjunctive mood.

This is one of the most useful videos of Gideon I have watched. So I bookmarked it. I think even for an advanced learner of English with all those subtle nuances this can get pretty intricate and is full of traps. As an aside, I am curious how you produce and cut your videos staging a talk between a bearded and a shaven Gideon? I think this requires a director's foresight and planning of scenes.

your an amazing teacher.

I wish if you get there, if you agree we would go for some good asadito at the Mercadito del Puerto to Ciudad Vieja, I do. Oh..excellent lesson Professor, I am so grateful about, thank you very much, I learn always new things with your videos!! Cheeri ò!

I wish I had a professor like you ...Anyway we have you on YT! So cool your t-shirt!!!

Great lesson

Superb! Thank you so much. I hope that you make a video about past participle that are used twice in the sentence. Noun+past participle, twice+past perfect. i.e. when it had started snowing, I had had already left. (not sure if this is correct.)

I wish I'd had an English teacher like you when I studied in school.

It was interesting, informative, useful and easy to understand after your explanation . I could say " I wish I had such a good teacher at school"... but since I finished school almost 25 years ago I need to say " I wish I had had such an amazing teacher at school". Is it correct? Because it sounds a little bit strange ( for my ear/ to me - I wish I had had....or is it better to say " I wish I had had got" ?...., cause it sounds even more strange). And, by the way, it always confuses me whether I should use past tense or present perfect with "since". Was "since I finished school" correct? Or is it better to say "it has been 25 years since I finished"? Thank you for your videos!

Im in love with your chanel!

I don't even know why I'm here. I'm don't even know the basic English. Whatsoever it was a great lesson. And I hope that someday I back here and could understand more. By now is enough can get the meaning of the words and the way of the conversation without subtitles. Thanks!

"I wish I would have more time" sounds perfectly right to me when the wish is an extremely deep one. Whereas "I wish I had more time" is less emotional though grammatically correct and more rational than the first sentence. Am I right? "I wish I was" is indirect/reported speech whereas "I wish I were" is subjunctive ...true?

I wish I could give a million likes. It's just brilliant!

The way you used one character with the beard and the other without is absolutely brilliant! I suppose you recorded all the scenes with the beard, then shaved, then recorded the scenes without beard.

Is it necessary to consider every day as an adverb and everyday as an adjective always or we could interchange them? I go to school everyday. I go to school every day. Is the 2nd sentence the correct one or it could also be the 1st?

Diachronically speaking, the "unreal past" is of course just the old subjunctive mood. Fairly easy, for once, for German native speakers: in "I wish I had", had means hätte, not hatte. It almost comes naturally.

My favourite

it is so funny and so enriching for grammar point of course, but for vocabulary too. I note down :"bloddy tight fisted bastard" More I like " you re a guy " sounds Urugay
