  Hi, there.

• 00:10

  This is Harry, and welcome back to our podcast, where we try and help you with your understanding of the english language.

  What I have for you now are a couple of examples where we use some alternative expressions and they have a specific meaning.

• 00:29

  And I'll explain those to you as we go through the two examples.

• 00:33

  Okay, so the first one, if I were in your shoes, I think I would resign on the spot.

• 00:43

  If I were in your shoes, I think I would resign on the spot.

• 00:48

  So when we use this, if I were in your shoes.

• 00:51

  Again, we are having.

• 00:52

  Having some sort of view, some opinion.

• 00:58

  Yeah, we're expressing our opinion, but we're expressing it in slightly different way here.

• 01:03

  We're using the conditional tense if I were.

• 01:07

  Yeah.

• 01:08

  If I were.

• 01:10

  Not.

• 01:10

  If I was.

• 01:11

  When we're using the conditional with if we change was to were.

• 01:17

  So it's if I were in your shoes.

• 01:20

  So in your shoes means if I was in your place.

• 01:24

  Or if I were you is another way to express it.

• 01:27

  So if I were in your shoes.
