Transcript
the words would and could like What could the speaker
abbreviate with Apostrophe D there Yeah we know we're dealing
with a hypothetical mooed like a cow speaker tells us
from the very beginning that she's looking at a house
that robbers would like the look of So we know
she's imagining a situation that could happen but it's not
definitely happening We're not sure it's really or just kind
of wait up So the right answer here his deal
is conditional Just It depends you know like a diaper
loser bowl here Well for this one we need to
know the different kinds of tenses a writer might employ
in writing But we're talking about what will be We're
dealing with the future A passive voice isn't used in
the poem like he was done too or something like
that So get rid of B If we're in the
here and now we're in the present like right now
see And when it's not it because we're not here
And now we're just kind of would've maybe Kudo should've
And then finally if we're watching things unfold in the
moment like the pitcher is winding up to throw the
ball that's present progressive and that ain't it That ain't
what we have in this little ditty here so that's 00:01:31.06 --> [endTime] not the right answer is D conditional
