How to use "would" to talk about past habits?

In the complex journey of the English language, one of the most fascinating elements is the ability to use the verb would to describe past habits. Imagine your routines when you worked in the office: you used to have meetings with clients on the terrace, right? By using would, we capture those everyday moments that are part of our past.

What are collocations and how do they improve fluency?

Collocations are combinations of words that usually go together. Handling these combinations in everyday language allows you to express yourself with a fluency closer to that of a native speaker. By familiarizing yourself with them, you will be able to create more natural and persuasive speech.

How are modal expressions such as "may" and "might" used?

Modal expressions add depth to your sentences. For example, phrases like may have or must have allow you to express possibilities and certainties. "May have happened" suggests a possibility, while "must have happened" indicates a certainty based on deductions. Learning how these expressions interact in real speech is key to mastering English.

How to express past plans that were not completed?

It has happened to all of us: we planned something that in the end did not turn out as we expected. In English, you can express these plans using phrases like was going to. For example, "I was going to go to the movies, but they canceled the show." This usage improves your ability to articulate past situations clearly and accurately.

How do you describe experiences vividly with sensory verbs?

You can transport your speaker to a place or situation using sensory verbs. Imagine describing your favorite food: "The aroma of the freshly baked bread wafting through the air was irresistible." These verbs transform simple descriptions into immersive and memorable experiences.

What does it mean to use "ish"?

The suffix -ish is used to approximate colors or quantities when you're not completely sure. If someone asks you about your phone and you answer, "It's half reddish," you're saying it's not quite red. This flexibility in description allows you to extend your range of expression and nuance your answers.

Why is it important to know false friends and the verb "get"?

English is full of surprises: words that look similar to Spanish words but mean something completely different, known as falsos amigos. In addition, the verb get is multifaceted and understanding it will allow you to use it effectively in any context. Unraveling these elements will give you the confidence to communicate accurately and effectively.
