It’s so amazing that you teach this. I know there are many who struggle with learning English. My step dad would really benefit from your videos. I’ll be sure to tell him to watch and subscribe.
Thank you for the lesson. It was amazing. I particularly loved the exercise part and the fact that this is a short video. Things that I hate in other channels: Long videos No exercises New subscriber 😁
Thank you for this, very helpful! One question: If I want to say " Maria and I tried to help her" Can I drop the "d" on "tried"? and if I do, wouldn't that create confusion about whether I am meaning to say it in the present or past tense? How would that work?
Are you sure we don't just do the stop t/d (no puff of air but same tongue position) and go to the next sound quickly? We certainly aren't doing the plosive sound on the S in last night in my ears, but maybe I'm hearing differently? If we just dropped the T completely wouldn't it be LaSSnight?
1) Nowadays, In the general sense, It means to do or be done; Then the present indefinite tense is used. 2) Present continuous tense is commonly used to indicate that something is happening or going on at the present time. 3) Present perfect- The present perfect is a grammatical combination of the present tense and perfect aspect that is used to express a past event that has present consequences. The term is used particularly in the context of English grammar to refer to forms like 'I have left'. 4) Any work started in the past and is still going on, May continue in the future. Then the present perfect continuous tense is used. Madam, I have written all of those, Are these correct?
Please I have this question.. Read this please: ”You frightened the life out of me” According to the elision technique, we should omit ”ed” so it becomes: ”You frighten the life out of me” So in this case, omitting ”ed” can change the tense from simple Past to simple present. So how come?!
Yes this is correct. In written English it would, of course, remain frightened. But in spoken English, it would sound like the present simple. This is an occurrence that could make connected speech difficult to understand outside of a context. Simply, knowing the context can help clarify it the present or past simple is being used.
Let me ask you something... at the first example... The Great Depression was one of the most difficult (most difficult) Is there an elision here, isn't there? or not?
