It Could Have Died… [Grammar]
The other day, my beautiful, pregnant wife and I were talking about the turtle we saved the other day.
She said, “if the turtle doesn’t eat, it could have died.”
Uh oh… English mistaaaake
I corrected her, right there in the car.
I did it, not because I’m a bad husband, but because I’m a good teacher.
I made a quick 2 minute video about my explanation of difference between:
it could die and it could have died.
It’s a common mistake, so I hope the video helps.
Here’s the video:

Ps. Since I shared my video interview with Kim (from English with Kim), people have been asking me to make more videos, so they can hear my “lovely English accent”.
So why not?
