15
62000
4360

16

01:14
Question two.
17

You need to know the sentence  structure for negative sentences.
27

02:02
In the present simple, the  sentence structure is subject  
28
122920
4760
02:07
and then you need do or does as your  auxiliary verb not and the base verb.
29
127680
7400
02:15
The subjects I, you, we and they  use do not as a contraction.
30
135080
7080

31
142160

So did you pass the A1 level?

158120
11280

35

8640
02:58
Question two what is the past  simple of the verb to eat?
36
178040
8120

38
193040
5680
03:18

03:20
Mine is the possessive to show ownership  for the subject I I possess that book.
40

7760
03:28
That book is mine.
41
208480

03:30
Question 4.
42
210440
1360
03:31
This movie is then that one more interesting.
43
211800
9480
03:41
There are two structures for forming comparatives.
44
221280
3440
03:44
For A1 syllable word you have  the word plus ER, smart, smarter.
45
224720
7640
03:52
But for longer words, three syllable words  you have more and the word more interesting.
46
232360
8440
04:00
Did you pass the A2 level?
47
240800
2440

48
243240
5480
04:08
Question one.
49
248720
1280
04:10
Which sentence is in the  present perfect verb tense?
50
250000
6200
04:16
I have gone to the market for the present perfect.
51
256200
3840
04:20
We need the subject have or  has in the past participle.
52
260040
4640
04:24
Our verb here is to go and  the conjugations are go,  
53
264680
4400
04:29
went in the past simple  and gone in the participle.
54
269080
4240
04:33
Question two, What does the  expression break the ice mean?
55
273320
6440
04:39
It means to start a conversation  in a social setting.
56
279760
4480
04:44
Remember that expressions, idioms, phrasal verbs.
57
284240
3160
04:47
They don't have literal meaning, so  you have to memorize what they mean.
58
287400
5280
04:52
For example, let's play a game to break the ice.
59
292680
5080
04:57
Question three, she has a for learning languages.
60
297760
7120
05:04
She has a talent for learning languages.
61
304880
3960
05:08
This option is correct because  it's the only definition that  
62
308840
3600
05:12
makes sense and also the sentence structure.
63
312440
3520
05:15
You have a talent for something, so that  sentence structure is correct with talent.
64
315960
7320
05:23
Question 4.
65
323280
1440
05:24
Peter, that movie three times so far has  seen so far means it's an unfinished time  
66
324720
11640
05:36
reference and we use the present perfect  as seen with unfinished time references.
67
336360
7040
05:43
So did you pass the B1 level?
68
343400
2160
05:45
Share your score and let's continue on to B2.
69
345560
3840
05:49
Question one the cake.
70
349400
2520
05:51
Bye, Mary was baked.
71
351920
4920
05:56
This is the passive voice, and was  baked is the past tense of to be baked.
72
356840
7000
06:03
Question 2.
73
363840
1200
06:05
Which word is a synonym for confidential?
74
365040
6200
06:11
Secret.
75
371240
1200
06:12
You could say that document is  confidential, which means it's secret.
76
372440
5920
06:18
It's not public, it's not open and revealing.
77
378360
4840
06:23
That means you share more  information than expected,  
78
383200
5240
06:28
but since it's confidential secret, we  don't know if the document is revealing.
79
388440
5720
06:34
Question three I can't put  with his behavior anymore.
80
394160
8160
06:42
Put up with this is a phrasal verb.
81
402320
3920
06:46
To put up with something or  someone is when you tolerate.
82
406240
4320
06:50
So accept negative behavior  and this is the only option  
83
410560
5320
06:55
that fits the context and the sentence structure.
84
415880
4320
07:00
Question 4.
85
420200
1640
07:01
If it tomorrow we won't go to the beach reigns.
86
421840
8960
07:10
This is the conditional you  need if plus present simple  
87
430800
5480
07:16
and your next clause is in the future simple.
88
436280
4440
07:20
So did you make it to be to share your score?
89
440720
3640
07:24
And let's move on to the advanced  levels C One question one identify  
90
444360
6560
07:30
the correct reported speech, she said.
91
450920
4640
07:35
I will come later.
92
455560
4000
07:39
She said that she would come later  for reported speech, indirect speech.
93
459560
7320
07:46
Will becomes would question two.
94
466880
3920
07:50
We have the budget will pay for your training.
95
470800
6840
07:57
Therefore therefore is a transition word.
96
477640
3920
08:01
It's used to show 'cause we have the budget and  affect, the effect is we'll pay for your training.
97
481560
9400
08:10
Question three, what does the idiom  to hit the nail on the head mean?
98
490960
9520
08:20
This means to describe something perfectly, and  if you watched my lesson last week on idioms,  
99
500480
7360
08:27
you would know this because I taught it.
100
507840
3040
08:30
For example, you hit the nail  on the head with your analysis.
101
510880
5080
08:35
Your analysis described the situation perfectly.
102
515960
4880
08:40
Question 4.
103
520840
1320
08:42
You'll regret the conference.
104
522160
6160
08:48
Missing Regret is a gerund verb,  
105
528320
3760
08:52
so you need the verb plus your  gerund regret missing verb plus ING.
106
532080
7120
08:59
So did you pass the C1 level, Share your score,  
107
539200
4040
09:03
and let's continue to the most  advanced C2 level Question one.
108
543240
6360
09:09
Her speech had a profound on the audience effect.
109
549600
8600
09:18
Effect is a verb.
110
558200
2720
09:20
Effect is a noun.
111
560920
2680
09:23
You could use the verb, but you would have  
112
563600
2040
09:25
to change the sentence to her  speech affected the audience.
113
565640
6520
09:32
Question 2.
114
572160
1400
09:33
Which course would you recommend to me?
115
573560
7280
09:40
Don't forget that too, because you  recommend something the course to someone.
116
580840
8080
09:48
Now you can also simply recommend something.
117
588920
3760
09:52
Which course would you recommend?
118
592680
2720
09:55
Which course would you recommend?
119
595400
1800
09:57
To me, both of those are correct.
120
597200
3520
10:00
Question three.
121
600720
1400
10:02
If I you, I would do the same if I were you.
122
602120
8760
10:10
I were you because this is the  present conditional which is used  
123
610880
5360
10:16
for hypotheticals and we use were for all  subjects in the conditional and finally.
124

Question for.
125
625560
2520
10:28
Jane, Tom can come to the party.
126
628080
7440
10:35
Neither Jane nor Tom can come to the party and  this means they aren't coming to the party.
127
635520
9120
10:44
So we use neither nor.
128
644640
1760
10:46
For negative.
129
646400
1440
10:47
You could say either Jane or  Tom can come to the party.
130
647840
5360
10:53
This means one person is coming to the party.
131
653200
3960
10:57
You could also say both Jane and  Tom are are coming to the party,  
132
657160
7080
11:04
and this means that two people  are coming to the party.
