I have studied English for about 10 years. I've gone as far as I can on my own now, and I'm looking for language exchange partners who would like to learn Russian and can speak English. I would also like to start learning German, the only problem is that I don't speak it at all now. My comprehension of the language is very limited, I can only understand very few basic things. If you're a native German speaker don't hesitate to turn to me for help on Russian. It would be fun talking to you even though I don't understand anything. I prefer to learn on Skype in the following three ways (of the three options below, #1 and #2 are most preferable for me since my main focus is on grammar): 1. By talking but not live, i.e. by sending each other messages and correcting each other's mistakes. This is to practice writing and grammar in the context of a conversation. 2. By taking turns in sending each other language related questions and answering those questions. This is also to practice writing and grammar. 3. By talking live. This is to practice speaking and to develop conversational skills. Thanks for reading this introduction. Feel free to message me if you're either a native English or German speaker and need to practice Russian. I'm sure we can help each other and have a lot of fun in the process! :)

    Hello to all, I've just asked another native speaker and received the following response: _____________________________ I wouldn't use [PROBABLY COULD HAVE MOVED] or [MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE] in reference to a future round, but only [WOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE TO MOVE] or [MIGHT BE ABLE TO MOVE]. How can anyone predict the future like this? _____________________________ As far as I understand, all those who have left their comments below consider both [PROBABLY COULD HAVE MOVED] and [MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE] correct. Now I'm confused. Could anyone please comment on this? Thanks.

    [PROBABLY COULD HAVE MOVED]/[MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE] CONTEXT: There are two boxers in the ring. One hits the other on the chin. They continue to fight until the end of the round. The round ends. Each boxer heads toward his own corner. The conversation below takes place in the corner of the boxer that's been hit on the chin by the other boxer. DIALOG: Coach: "You'd better start moving faster if you don't want to lose." Boxer: "I [PROBABLY COULD HAVE MOVED]/[MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE] much faster in the next round if he hadn't punched me on the chin. I need a rest, and I'll have to spend the next round in defense mode." QUESTION: If I want to express a lesser degree of certainty than is encoded in [COULD HAVE MOVED] and [WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE], do the tenses in capital letters work in the given context?

    WOULD EXPECT SENTENCES: 1. If I had insulted my boss yesterday, I [WOULD EXPECT] to be fired by tomorrow. But I didn't insult my boss yesterday, so I don't expect to be fired by tomorrow. 2. If we hadn't gotten a flat tire 10 minutes ago, we [WOULD EXPECT] to arrive in London before 6:00. But we got a flat tire 10 minutes ago, so we don't expect to arrive in London before 6:00 QUESTION: Does [WOULD EXPECT] work in my two sentences?

    "WOULD HAVE ARRIVED" for an impossible future event CONTEXT: The speaker and his/her companion didn't get a flat tire while crossing a dangerous section of the road, they are now further down the road and there's no reason to expect that they will not arrive in London around 6:30. The speaker says the sentences below at 6:00. SENTENCES: 1. If we had gotten a flat tire, we [WOULDN'T ARRIVE] in London around 6:30. Rather, we [WOULD HAVE ARRIVED] around 8:00. 2. If we had gotten a flat tire, we [WOULD HAVE ARRIVED] in London around 8:00. As it is, we will arrive around 6:30. QUESTION: Do the tenses in captial letters work in my sentences?

    Thanks for your responses, Chris and Sara. What troubles me about the three sentences is that the tenses in capital letters are normally used with words such as "yesterday", "last month", "last week", etc., but in my case, I have the word "tomorrow". That's what appears confusing to me.
