what about the 16 tenses with would and indirect speech , try to mix everything together. maybe will long but everyone here needs that, we are ready to watch a video for hander time if it includes all tenses with 'would' and 'indirect speech', that is very confused when tenses combine with each other, I know I'm bad at writing and that because tenses

Our teachers usually twist our arms while teaching us these expressions which makes us feel like we gotta bite the bullet to learn these the hard way. Feels like going postal. Those teachers shouldn't give up their day jobs. This is how these should be taught. Bob's your uncle. But, I don't hate them anymore, I've buried the hatchet now. Anyways, I usually don't like videos on KZfaq but here I'd have to pay the piper. I'm going belly up with words now so I'll quit cold turkey my comment here and move on to the next video as Elvis has left the building for this one.

A very useful lesson. Would like to see more about common expressions and the story behind them, a bit of etymology. It really helps to understand English more. So I don't get why you apologize for explaining not as fast as some viewers think you should explain. In my opinion your explanation was understandable, and quite brief. I am one of those weird people who love watching to understand and use, not only to listen to anything quickly and forget in a minute.

I heard another explanation of "bite the bullet". During the time of muskets every soldier had several prepared paper charges with a bullet and a dose of powder for quick reload. So, he had to bite the bullet, put the powder inside the musket and then put the bullet. And the meaning of the phrase is "to achieve a pleasant goal be ready to start with an unpleasant action" because gunpowder tastes not good.

Hi Adam, how's it going ?. Great video lesson, of course I liked it, very interesting expressions, now I know what they mean, thanks to you Adam, I'll try to keep in mind the meanings so I can use them in context, just in case I wanna use them, 'cause I can use another expressions that could convey the same idea, right Adam ?, like in: - let's bury the hatchet Or. - let's be friends again. - let's not fight. - let's forget the issues between us . Etc etc.....

Please do a video about object of preposition in question structure. Such as in What are you preparing for? Or For what are you preparing? Who are you waiting for? Or For whom are you waiting? Please please please 🙏 It's so confusing.
