Maybe A might call later but we don’t know.) ( A didn’t say what time will he/ she call. I believed in the past and I have no idea now. What if I want to express my thought in the past and the thought would happen in the future? For example ,in the present, I’m talking to my B friend about a letter that my A friend said he/ she will call B friend (future plan). Thanks for your video, I got 9 correct out of 10. I’d be glad if you’d let me know what you think about my way of thinking!!! Bye. (and of course to understand it!!) and little by little, when you’ll see the rule in different contexts (film, book…) without even thinking about it, you’ll understand and the most important thing, you’ll memorize it and be able to use later it without problems! More you study the rules, (and exceptions!!) better you’ll understand the logical and better you’ll speak after!! (nearly as a native one!) I’m not a teacher, I just wanted to share my experience. The important thing is to learn the rule at least one time. (for example, I’m still not able to do a multiplication in Italian, I have to calculate in French!!) But for the rules that you always need to think about, don’t worry! That’s true, that at the beginning you hesitate, you need to think about… (and not in a very natural way !) but that’s normal! Your brain need to be used at a new way of thinking with a logical different from your normal ones. I’m sure that within few years he’ll speak better Italian than me! I am also sure that even if I speak fluently Italian I could never be bilingual as my son. He can speak fluently the both languages without any problem and in a very natural way. I’ve always spoken to him in French and his father in Italian. I’m a mother of a 5-years-old boy and for my son it’s a complete different story than for me. They are “new” and not conditioned by a language and a way of thinking! Their brains are new and ready to learn everything. Even if you do mistakes, no one corrects you! (because they don’t want to offend you, because they understand so that’s enough for them, because they don’t care or because they themselves don’t speak well!!!) If I tell you that last week, I’ve “discovered” a new Italian grammatical rule after 10 years living here!!! (10 years of mistakes!!!! OOOOPS!) For the babies, it’s a different story. Of course, you’d able to speak and be understood by others, but you’ll never speak like natives ones. As I see it, living in a country is the easiest way to learn a language (you have no choice, to be understood you have to speak and listen!) but don’t delude yourself if you think it’d be enough! If you don’t learn and understand rules, you always speak an approximated language. Before coming in Italy, I could speak a little Italian but I’ve learnt most of the things living here. Yes, it’d be super not to learn any grammatical rules and just learn a language by “intuition” such as babies… but to be honest I don’t think it can work and I explain you why! I’m French and I live in Italy since 10 years. Hi 610seiunozero! I would like to react to your comment. Let me know something and sorry for my english. Sorry, it wasn’t my intention to teach someone something, I just wanted to exchange some opinions. So my suggest is… we should learn english like a baby who doesn’t know any rule but he can speaks corretly when you go at the first elementary school, how? listenig his parents, his brothers, his friends, listening everybody and relate with them. I answer corretly at all your questions on test-quiz, without knowing any rule (I made it before to look your video). We (pupils) won’t speack fluenty but in hiccup way. Why do the English teachers in the world continue to teach grammar rules? In this way when we (pupils)speak we always think at the rules ….present perfect…no, present perfect continuous….now I have to put “any” (because negative sentence)….yes but it’s interrogative sentence with “would” so I have to put “some” no “any” ….little no few or very fewer ecc. I listen to you everyday because you (and your collegue)have an american accent, no british accent,so sometimes I get lost and I don’t understand “any” steps of your speech, but I can understand the meaning of it, that is very useful for me because I need to learn (for my job) american accent, thanks.
