@TheAshleyspaa Hi Ashley, I can understand your confusion, but consider at what point in time this sentence is being said. I chronological order 1) John says he is going to do his homework this evening 2) I say to a friend (for example) at 5 o'clock that John said he was going to do his homework. This evening is not over yet, and much of it lies in the future, so 'I don't think he WILL is the appropriate tense/auxiliary form.
@MsAfrodita21 There are some programs you can use to download them that are available on the internet. Otherwise you could use a screen capture program. However, the material on YouTube is generally not available for download and also subject to copyright laws. As long as you don't repost it on the net, I don't mind what you do with it. Thanks for the compliment as well!
@TheTemplai Theoretically yes, although in colloquial American English 'ain't' is often used as a substitute for the verbs 'to be' and 'to have', 'have got' can be reduced to 'got', and in both American and English English the auxiliary 'have' is sometimes omitted in the present perfect. For example,'I ain't got time', 'You seen the film, ain't ya?', 'I gotta do it!' Perhaps I could make a video about this kind of thing...
Hi Mr Wood, I have a question for the Auxiliary exercise for Question no 4.
“John said he was going to do his homework this evening. But I don’t think he will.”
As this is a Past Continuous sentence. Shouldn’t we use “But I don’t think he would” ? Instead of “he will”. OR
maybe “this evening” should be changed to “that evening” so we can use “But I don’t think he would”?
Please tell me…
