Hi everybody, welcome to www.engvid.com.

I'm Adam.

In today's video, we're going to look at a little bit of grammar and more specifically, we're going to look at the two verbs will and would.

And the reason I'm focusing only on these two verbs is

because people often mix up when to use one or the other.

So it's very important that you understand the function, the functions of each word

and see how they're used in actual sentences to understand why you choose one and not the other.

Okay, so let's look at first of all the actual functions of these words

and keep in mind that in some cases would is actually the past tense of will

but I'll get into that in a moment.

So first of all when we use will we're talking about the future always

and we're looking at something that's either a fact, although technically you can't say anything about the future is fact because we don't know.

So more, the better way to think of it is it's a real possibility, right?

Facts, until they actually happen, you don't know.

So real possibility.

Would, on the other hand, is we used to, when we talk about an unreal past, so something in the past that could have been different

but wasn't right and you'll

when i give you the example sentence you'll understand what i mean

but it's not real that's the key

and it's in the past not the future

so that's very important to remember mostly the most common use of wood is to talk about something

that is hypothetical hypothetical basically means it's not real it's imaginary you're talking about basically

if a situation could happen right you're talking about that's the key word there

if maybe probably not but maybe right and again

when we see examples you'll understand and we also use it to uh report speech

so we call this indirect reported speech i am saying what somebody else said

so i'm somebody said something to me i'm telling you what that person said so that's indirect reported speech

and in this case would act as the past tense of will

and we're going to see examples of that as well

so let's start with a couple of sentences here he will

make new friend he will make many new friends at school

so my wife

and i are talking we're worried about our son our son is going to university in a different city

and my wife is worried that he'll be very lonely

and i say don't worry he will make many new friends at school now is

that a fact no

because i don't know maybe he won't make many new friends at school maybe everybody will hate him it's unlikely

but it's definitely a real possibility based on his character based

on his history most likely this is what will happen

so future real he would make new friends at school now

there's two ways i need to complete this sentence he would

make new friends at school is not a complete sentence

because of this word would as soon as you see this word you know

that something is not true or is not real so he would make new friends means now no new friends

so whenever you see a sentence

that uses would as the as the helping verb to the main verb right away you understand

that now whatever follows is actually not true is not the case okay he would make new friends

if he went out more

so right now he just sits in his room he goes to class

and then goes and sits in his dorm room all day

and doesn't come out so obviously he's not making new friends

so if he went out and i'm using an unreal conditional here if plus simple past verb

if he went out he would make new friends or he would make new friends at school comma

but he doesn't go out much here i'm using the but to show a contrast

and i'm using the present verb to show you what the actual situation is now Now, technically, I can go straight from school to but.

But even if I do this, this is where it gets a little confusing.

This is understood.

I just don't need to say it.

So, bear with me.

I'm going to give you the whole full sentence.

He would make many new friends at school if he went out more.

But he doesn't go out much, so he doesn't make new friends.

That's the full thing.

I don't want to say all that that's a lot of words

that don't all need to be expressed i can just take this out completely

and just go to this conclusion right but he doesn't go out much

so now not making friends why he doesn't go out

but the key here is i'm talking about unreal situation hypothetical

situation now okay we're going to look at some other examples to understand the other functions Okay, so now I have a few more examples for you.

They're not in any particular order, but I'll explain each one as we go.

So now we're going to look at reported speech.

There are two types.

There's direct and then there's indirect.

Direct reported speech will be inside quotation marks.

They could be happy too if you want them to be, but anyway.

Quotation marks means this is exactly the words that the person used

when he spoke to me

and now i'm telling it to somebody else right i'm reporting to a third person

so if i'm using a direct with the quote i don't change anything i take exactly the words

that were given to me now in writing you will notice there's a comma

quotation mark everything period quotation mark then there is indirect reported speech

so this person said the words to me and i'm more

or less paraphrasing to the next person

so i would say he said he would call now that

because technically this is a noun clause but most people just drop

that you don't need it that's why i put in bracket

you can put it you can take it out both okay he said he would call.

Now, a general rule or the rule of indirect reported speech is that the verb goes one tense back.

So, will, the only back you can go with will is would.

This is the past tense of would.

And that's why I'm using that in the indirect reported speech.

Okay.

So here he's talking about the future.

Here he's still talking about the future, but I'm reporting it as the past because he said it to me in the past.

Said.

Okay.

So that's reported.

Next.

And here we're going to get a little bit tricky.

100

So just prepare yourselves for it.

101

I'm going to start with one sentence and I'm going to finish it three different ways.

102

Three different ways.

103

In order to get a promotion, she would need to make more sales.

104

In order to get a promotion, she will need to make more sales.

105

Or in order to get a promotion, she would have needed to make more sales.

106

All three sentences are correct.

107

The meaning's slightly different.

108

So let's start.

109

In order to get a promotion at work, she wants to get a higher position, she would need to make more sales.

110

Now, we understand that would is a hypothetical.

111

It's not real, meaning that she probably won't, will not make more sales.

112

Maybe there's not enough time.

113

Maybe she doesn't have enough clients.

114

Maybe she's just not very good at sales.

115

So, it's very unlikely that she will.

116

So for this situation to be true, this situation would be need to be true, but it's not.

117

And I'm using would.

118

On the other hand, if I say she will need to make more sales means she has another six months.

119

If she works really hard, she can get these sales and she can get her promotion.

120

So this is a real possibility.

121

Unreal possibility, she has no chance.

122

real possibility she has a very good chance of doing it

123

and again both are correct but you have to pay attention to what the actual

124

when somebody says this what are they meaning here I know

125

she's not getting the promotion here I think she can get

126

the promotion then in order to get a promotion she would

127

have needed to make more sales this is the past

128

but you cannot change the past so So in order to get a promotion, so right this week, the boss is deciding who is getting promotions.

129

It's too late for her to get more sales.

130

The sales needed to be in the past.

131

It didn't happen.

132

She would have needed to, but she didn't.

133

That's understood.

134

But she didn't, would have.

135

They go together in the past.

136

You can't change it.

137

It's not real.

138

She's not getting the promotion.

139

So, no promotion, yes promotion, no promotion.

140

If you understand the way things are structured, right?

141

And this is what you have to pay close attention to, especially in spoken English.

142

In spoken English, the word would or will, they go by very fast.

143

So, you need to pick it up.

144

A native speaker, for example, if somebody says to me, well, she would have needed to do that, she would have needed.

145

but I can pick up the would of and understand that she didn't.

146

A non-native speaker might not pick that word up and not understand the full context of the sentence.

147

So you have to pay very close attention to that.

148

Okay, so that's another use of will and would.

149

We're going to go to the last sample.

150

Now, this is going to be a bit more confusing because this is introducing a whole other grammatical tense.

151

She will have met her goals by then.

152

She would have met her goals if she had tried harder.

153

So let's start with the would.

154

She would have met her goals.

155

This is the same as this one.

156

We're talking about an unreal past.

157

In the past, this was possible, but now the past is gone.

158

It didn't happen.

159

It's not possible anymore.

160

Can't change the past.

161

And here it's easier to understand because of the if.

162

If she had tried, with a past perfect.

163

So, she.. if she did it, if she had tried harder, she would have met her goal.

164

She didn't try hard enough, she didn't meet her goal.

165

Fact.

166

Real.

167

Here, will have met.. this is a future perfect.

168

Future perfect means that then, whatever that future time is, means her goals will be met.

169

But again, future perfect, I'm not going to really get into now.

170

That's a whole other video by itself.

171

But just so you can compare, will have, would have.

172

Both of them can be used with a perfect.

173

The meanings are very, very different.

174

Future, real, past, unreal.

175

And it's very important that you learn to pay attention to will and would, because A, they're spoken very quickly and B,

176

they sound not that far from each other because wuh, wuh.

177

In writing, obviously, much easier.

178

You'll see it.

179

But in writing, you have to be careful to use the correct version.

180

And for example, let's say we're talking about IELTS or TOEFL essays.

181

Very, very often, I see people using would when they should be using will.

182

Not so much the other way around.

183

And I think the reason is people think that would is a more formal verb.

184

It's not.

185

Will has a function.

186

Would has a function.

187

Use them correctly.

188

There's no such thing as formal or informal verbs in terms of usage.

189

There's formal and informal vocabulary.

190

There's not formal or informal grammar.

191

So be careful about that in your writing.

192

And I hope that's it.

193

I hope that all made sense to you.

194

Of course, you may have to watch the video again to get all the little details.

195

But if you have any questions, go to www.engvid.com and ask me in the comment section.

196

I'll be happy to help you out some more there.

197

There's also a quiz at www.engvid.com.

198

Take the quiz.

199

Make sure you can understand all the different subtleties, all the slight differences between the two uses,

200

and test yourself and take the quiz and hopefully get a 10 out of 10.

201

Okay?

202

If you like the video, please give me a like.

Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and ring that little bell up top there so you get notifications of new videos.

204

And come back for more grammar, vocab, and other interesting English things.

205

See you again soon.

206

דקדוק בסרטון הזה

המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:

מבנה	בסרטון
משפטי תנאי (Conditional sentences) if + clause, will/would + verb — תנאי ותוצאה שלו	if he went out he would make · if I say she will need

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
