 Leventcim hi, I am sending you the following 2 videos about Modal Verbs which are actually part of more Advanced English. Even native speakers sometimes confuse how to use them properly. There are times that using many of these model verbs suits at the same time, but one can be slightly better than the others depending on context or the meaning that the speaker wants to give.  I feel obliged to dwell on this subject because I see your curiosity about it which is a very good thing for a learner. I recommend you to use what you learn here very often and despite having mistakes carry on trying as much as you can.  See you at 21:00 today. Best, Aren

Hello Leventcim! In order to benefit from the interactivity of our studying style, I start to focus on your technical mistakes and help you to improve your grammar and vocabulary knowledge.  Yesterday in your comments you wrote: Hi Aren , ı am trying to comments not , I have already download chrome and now it is working. The correct sentence should be: Hi Aren, I am trying to make comments. (Comment is a "plural noun" here) Or I am trying to comment. (Comment is a "verb" here) I have already downloaded chrome and now it works. ( Download is the 1st form and downloaded is the 3rd form, which you must use in present perfect tense. "Works" is the present simple form which is much better here instead of present continuous tense.)  I studied first 10 unit which is elementary of gramer in use on yesterday . ıt was very easy and elementary of vocabulary in use as weel , so ı will check only gramer in use hopefully ı will finish soon . I studied the first 10 unit...

 Dear Levent, Today's task is very crucial for your daily communication at business, it is "Phrases in Business English".  I strongly suggest you to write down and practice all you listen in this video. You can use translator and look for synonyms of these phrases if you like, it is much better.  I will be happy if you could also make a list of Units that need to be covered in your Cambridge Grammar, Vocabulary and Face2Face Course Books. You don't need to scan all of them for the beginning. You can start by checking only the first 5 Units in each of them. All the best, Aren
