Comment the word "LINK" below to get access to my recent Deep Dive post on modal verbs! πŸš€

🌑 Have you ever struggled with how "strong" a certain modal verb is?

Think of modal verbs like a thermometer or a light dimmer! Very often, they are ranked by their level of modality (how certain, polite, or obligatory they are). The higher the "temperature" on the dimmer, the stronger the meaning! Swipe to see today's slide to see exactly how they rank from low to high.

Before you practice, you must remember the 3 Golden Rules of Modal Verbs:

1️⃣ No "to" allowed: Modal verbs are never used with the particle "to" (with the only exception being have to).
2️⃣ Always followed by an infinitive: The next word must be the base form of a verb (For example: I must go, NOT I must going).
3️⃣ Never use them together: You cannot stack modal verbs. You can never say "I will can do it"!

Drop the word "LINK" in the comments right now and I will send you the full lesson so you can master these tricky verbs once and for all! πŸ‘‡

Stop saying "very good" β€” you sound like a beginner! 🚫
English has two types of adjectives: base adjectives (good, big, tired, scared, hungry) and strong adjectives (excellent, huge, exhausted, terrified, starving). The catch? You can't use "very" with strong adjectives β€” they're already extreme!

❌ very exhausted
βœ… absolutely exhausted / completely exhausted
❌ very huge
βœ… absolutely huge / really huge

A few pairs to remember: good β†’ excellent, big β†’ huge/enormous, tired β†’ exhausted, scared β†’ terrified, hungry β†’ starving, cold β†’ freezing, hot β†’ boiling.
Swap your "very + base adjective" for one strong adjective and your English will instantly sound more advanced! βœ…

Why do we "DO" homework but "MAKE" the bed? πŸ€”
English pairs certain nouns with "do" almost as fixed expressions β€” and there's rarely a clear rule, you just have to learn which ones go together. Once you know the pattern, it becomes second nature.
A few classics: do homework, do the dishes, do a favor, do business, do exercise, do your best, do the laundry, do a job.
Notice something? "Do" usually goes with tasks and duties, while "make" tends to go with creating something new. Save this post so you always pick the right verb! βœ…

Why is there an H in "hour" if you don't even say it?? 🀫
English loves to keep letters around just for old times' sake, and the silent H is one of the sneakiest examples. Some of these words come from French, some from Latin, and somewhere along the way, English speakers just... stopped pronouncing the H. The spelling never got the memo.
A few classics: hour, honest, honor, heir, exhaust, vehicle, rhythm, ghost.
Try saying them without the H β€” that's the real pronunciation! βœ…

Ever dreamed about what you'd do "if you won the lottery" or "if you had more time"? That's the Second Conditional in action! We use it to talk about hypothetical or unlikely situations in the present or future: if + past simple, would + infinitive. Example: "If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world."

Is "sorry" the only way to apologize in English? Not at all! It's perfectly fine to say "I'm sorry" or "sorry" in everyday situations, but there are also moments where more advanced or nuanced phrases fit better β€” like "My apologies," "I didn't mean to upset you," or "I take full responsibility." In this video, I share alternative ways to apologize so you can sound more natural in any situation. Listen closely and repeat after me! πŸ™πŸ—£
