COULD, WAS ABLE TO, & MANAGED TO (Are you using them correctly?)

preview_player
Показать описание
Lots of English learners use COULD incorrectly when talking about the past. This video explains when you should use COULD to talk about the past, when you shouldn't use COULD to talk about the past, and the difference between using MANAGED TO, using WAS ABLE TO, and just using the past tense form of the verb.

I'm Teacher Mike, and I'm an English (ESL/EFL) teacher from the United States.

I'm currently posting 3 videos each week (Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday)(Tuesday is a LIVE video), so if you're interested in improving your English, make sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so that you see all of my new videos.

Also, my ebook "How to Practice Speaking English by Yourself and Why Everyone Should Do It" is finally available to people in countries that don't have Amazon!

And don't forget to follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Threads (and check out my website)!
