How to...use the verb "hope"

A lot of students get confused between the Verbs Hope and Wish. Today I'm going to tackle a few ways you can use the verb Hope in English in the Future, Present and Past.Students can use Hope a lot when talking about the future and present but less so in the past. It's actually a really common verb and use a lot in business English when writing emails, so it is a good thing to have a command of.I also show you a way you might hear Hope used to give insults! The sentence structures cover these things in Spanish Espero que + subjunctive in past, Espera que hayas + past participle, Esperaba que + subjunctive in past.I hope you enjoy this episode (see! we use it all the time) ANNA WITH 2NS ENGLISH PODCAST. 15 minutes with Anna to advance your English. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna2nsenglish/  Support Me and My Free Content By Donating A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/annawith2ns Say hello on LinkedIn @AnnaConnellyFollow me on Instagram @annabusinessenglish

4 phrasal verbs with "across" and how to use them

Following on from my episode last week breaking down phrasal verbs in English, this week I start with a selection of 4 Advanced English phrasal verbs with the preposition Across. As I said in the last episode, it is important to put phrasal verbs in groups that make sense to help you remember them well. ACROSS fits in two key categories of meaning which are Finding and Communication. I cover 4 phrasal verbs including; come across (econtrarse), to stumble across (encontrarse), to come across (dar la impresión) & to get across (hacer entender). Firstly I put each phrasal verb in context with sentences then I give you common collocations and how to use the phrasal verb technically i.e is it inseparable/separable and transitive/intransitive. I hope you enjoy this episode and that it sheds some light and clarity on these phrasal verbs which are often difficult for students to understand. ANNA WITH 2NS ENGLISH PODCAST. 15 minutes with Anna to advance your English. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna2nsenglish/ Donate A Coffee To Support Me and My Free Content: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/annawith2ns Say hello on LinkedIn @AnnaConnellyFollow me on Instagram @annabusinessenglish

You have been requesting phrasal and so this is the first one I am going to do focused on some advanced but very useful phrasal verbs. Before we jump into lots of definitions I want to take a step back and look at some of the logic. Yes, phrasal verbs CAN make sense if you look at them in a certain way and focus on certain things. I will tell you about a very helpful way to learn them and a preview of next week's episode. Think of this as a phrasal verb foundation which we will draw on in future episodes! Check out all my free English content on Instagram at @anna2nsenglish Say hello on LinkedIn @AnnaConnellyFollow me on Instagram @annabusinessenglish
