Past simple

Oh, please, please, please, please, please stay.

I'm on Lee trying to tell you that this is not a good way to correct somebody.

We should be really polite in our correction.

You're still angry, and we knew Still want someone to change.

And I'm going to help you in this problem off yours.

Okay, you have a friend who does not speak in English very well.

And you're like, Ah, OK, so you have that urge to correct her or him.

And you're like, Okay, maybe I should tell her.

And then you decide to say, Hey, you're wrong.

So better Wayne's Ted would be to say I'm afraid that's not quite right.

You would rather want to say This is a door instead of saying this are a door, right?

So if this friend of yours has decided that she's not going to believe you and she's going to do what she wants to go, Ah, she's going to speak what she wants to speak.

Actually, I think if you see a grammar book, you'll find that our is used for plural and is is used with singular.

This is a door and you can start this whole conversation by saying, Actually, I think you'll find that, and that will be off a blight way to ST Someone's right for you here.

Let's look as a sword freeze here most of these of a polite ways.

The moment we talk about mystique, the situation changes.

If you're pointing at someone's mistake, you're being a little bit more strong in the way you're speaking But you're not harsh.

Sometimes it's important to point to someone's mistake.

So here I'm afraid you're mistaken is slightly more strong.

Ah, let's imagine a situation you overheard.

Two people talking over here means that two people are talking and you heard what they're speaking.

You're listening to what they're speaking, which is actually not considered very good manners.

But sometimes we're in a situation like that.

Whether we just hear what the other people are speaking and it's not out by, we're not intentionally hearing it, it just happens.

So if you hurt two people talking, um N b.

They're talking about who is the founder off Microsoft and one of them say's It's Steve Jobs and the other was like, Okay, you surely would know who is the founder off.

You may know who is the founder off Microsoft?

The foundry off Microsoft does not Steve jobs.

I don't think you're right about this is also a slightly strong statement.

I don't think you're right about something.

Um, here also Ah, what you're actually talking about is facts, something basically based on general knowledge.

And here also, you can use the same phrase in the same situation.

You can tell that person I'm afraid you're mistaken.

Or you could tell them I don't think you're right about the founder off Microsoft.

These two are slightly strong statements, slightly not very strong.

Ah, if you say it like no, you've got it wrong, then it's very route.

That's a pleasant way off saying the same thing.

So if you're a total planning to use the statement and I suggest you say it in a slightly stopped her tone off voice Ah, where would you get to hear this statement?

Maybe in a classroom, a teacher talking to a student.

Maybe the student comes to the teacher with an answer on duty.

Or maybe a child going to her father with a math problem.

She sold it and she's showing her father, Daddy, This is the problem that I've solved.

So the daddy might just reply No, no, you've got it wrong.

The correct answer will be whatever it is the next one here.

If you check your facts, you'll find that facts means something.

Which is true for all everyone knows about it.

It's coming for all the sun rises from the east is a fact, and it cannot change.

So you can also use this in ah, similar situation where, you know, we're talking about the population of China.

If you check your facts, you'll find that China is the most populated country in the world.

We're talking about a topic off general knowledge, so that's where you can use it.

It's a fact which cannot change may change in the future, though some other countries are coming up.

That's not a very polite statement unless you're talking to your best friend or someone very close to you, maybe your sister or your brother.

If you tell them, where did you hear that?

It's quite normal, but if you tell that to a person you don't know too well, then it might come out as a very root reaction.

So your friend tells you maybe, you know you love drinking coffee and you drink it many times a D and one fine day your friend sees you drinking coffee and she's like, Come on, man, it's not such a good idea.
