I've remembered as I studied the theme a couple dozens years ago. Then I thought I would never need that. And now I am paying off by my own time for former laziness. Thank you, Andrew.

May, might or could all express possibility, not any level of certainty. But good video apart from that. 👍

Hola Andrew, estoy siguiendo tu lista de videos y resulta que hoy no puedo seguir el orden que venía haciendo porque AHORA está todo mezclado he terminado useful expressions Part 4 y seguiría con English Grammar- Quitz del 17.12.19, pero no lo encuentro, hay posibilidad de que me mandes el antiguo orden publicado ? Muchas gracias por tus lecciones son muy buenas, disculpa que sea en Castellano, un abrazo, 25.5.2023

Hi Sir, Can we say about a rich business man like this?."He must be making a lot of money.(in present as continuous). Could you pls clear my doubt?

@CrownAcademyEnglish Жыл бұрын

Yes, that is possible and it's a perfect example. We can also use the present perfect continuous. Form: "must have been" + ing form of verb. Example: *Jane:* When Mark lived in London, he lived in a mansion. *Clare:* Oh wow, he must have been making a lot of money. Best wishes Andrew
