No Okapi England people Another one for you Big fat

00:08

calm We're gonna kind of cruise through it here and

00:11

looking and just kind of winking at it first The

00:16

entire poem is framed in which of the following tenses

00:20

Alright frames So let's think about this Whenever we see

00:26

the words would and could like What could the speaker

00:29

abbreviate with Apostrophe D there Yeah we know we're dealing

00:33

with a hypothetical mooed like a cow speaker tells us

00:39

from the very beginning that she's looking at a house

00:41

that robbers would like the look of So we know

00:44

she's imagining a situation that could happen but it's not

definitely happening We're not sure it's really or just kind

01:12

here and now we're in the present like right now

01:14

see And when it's not it because we're not here

01:16

And now we're just kind of would've maybe Kudo should've

01:19

And then finally if we're watching things unfold in the

01:21

moment like the pitcher is winding up to throw the

01:24

ball that's present progressive and that ain't it That ain't

01:28

what we have in this little ditty here so that's 00:01:31.06 --> [endTime] not the right answer is D conditional
