There were many questions about the difference between the Present Perfect and the Present Perfect Continuous. They can, in some situations, be used equally. I could say, "I have worked hard today!" or "I have been working hard today!" and they would mean the same thing.

Yeap, it's the first question what I wanted to ask after your examples in Situation#1 Some not native teachers teach that if action hasn't finished yet, then you should use Present Perfect Continues. But when I saw lessons from native teachers they said that people prefer to use Present Perfect even for such situations :) And they give words which I can use to determine which tense I should use: - already/just - Present Perfect - since/for - Present Perfect Continues
Thanks, I loved this video. For long time I’ m trying to learn English, but have been hard for me, so when I listen you I understand everything, your pronunciation is very good and easier.
Thank you, dear teacher Bob, for such a great lesson! I have just finally summarized all rules how to use The Present Perfect that I often used to confuse with The Past Simple! Great lesson, Sir!
Hi Bob, I can easily understand what you are saying because you speak very clearly. I enjoy your lessons very much. Hi from Turkey. I do love u man. You're my English Hero
Hi Bob! I am glad to see you again. I had given up studying english, but now I decided come back to study again. Wish to me good luck. Thanks 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you Bob. The question is subject + verb + object = sentence Situation #2 When using the words for and since ? Where are the subject, the verb, and object? I see much time like the sentence. The sentence is meaning that when using the words for and since we use the present perfect tense. Thank you Bob again.
Thank you so much for these videos , you explain and provide us lots of basic vocabulary , i share your channel woth lots of friends, they like it too .
Thanks Bob! I've watched the lesson three times already, but I'm not sure if that's enough. The first example (I have worked hard today) is the most unusual for me, because there is no analog construction in my native language.
Not to be too confusing, but you can also say, "I have been working hard today." or "I have worked hard today." They are interchangeable at times. Here is some more info: www.perfect-english-grammar.com/present-perfect-simple-or-present-perfect-continuous.html
Ooooh This video helped me a lot!!! Thanks so much :)) I think that present perfect it's so difficult to Brazilian people to understand because we don't have anything like "present perfect" In our language, and this is a thing that stays in the past and in the present... It makes me crazy
Thank you for the lesson! I really struggle when using present perfect, since I doubt If I should use present perfect or past simple... Now, I've got it clearly. Greetings from Argentina
Please do all the Tenses! I was looking on your Channel and I have noticed you don't have the other Tenses. So please do a separate video for each tenses like you did in this one! You're doing a good job as a teacher!
Thank you Mr. Bob. You don't really need the present perfect to talk about your hard work. I bet you work hard almost every day. How has your week been? Have you adjusted to daylight saving time? I hope your finger is okay 🩹! I am sure it's just a scratch for a framer but there is no harm in letting someone know how much we care for them. Have a nice day.
Hello Bob, One may also use past perfect continuous to express a situation that has started sometime in a past and still either continues or only just finished. ex: * I've been watching Bob's canadian videos' * From Casablanca, NOT ONLY do I thank you kindly for your time and effort that you put in to provide us with some impeccable lessons, BUT I ALSO take my hat off you. Please stick around as we may miss you ! bear in mind; we are always standing by for your new videos to pop out ! fare thee well for now. stay Mellow 😉
I could equally say, "I have been working hard." or "I have worked hard." Both communicate exactly the same thing. Here is some more info: www.perfect-english-grammar.com/present-perfect-simple-or-present-perfect-continuous.html
Great job teacher Bob! Came across your channel a couple of days ago and I love it. You've got a friendly demeanor and a pleasant voice so it's almost irresistible to not to watch another video. I've ended up watching a bunch of your videos from different years and I really like your compassion about teaching and your willingness to come up with something new and origin. I'm still surprised that in a such dense area as English teaching, one can still find a gem like your channel. Well numbers of your subscribers speak for themselves!
I definitely agree with you! Bob is an amazing teacher since he's clear and his videos are concise. What I like the most about him is that he acts out in most of the lessons, this is a technique that I haven't seen in other English learning channels.
Thank you, Teacher BoB! I really need this lesson, I have been so confused about when to use the Present Perfect Tense. Every time I use it in my sentences I don't know whether it's right or not. I'm going to try to remember and practice what you taught in this clip.
What atmospheric backgrounds ! It remembers lyrics "Над Канадой небо синее, вдоль берёз дожди косые, так похоже на Россию, только всё же - не Россия"...Best wishes!
I've watched this video and I've learned English with Bob the Canadian for almost one year.😜 BTW tenses are extremely hard and confused for a person who's mother tongue doesn't have any tenses.😂 Thanks!
Hi Qiu park! I also wanted to use this example: I have learned English with teacher Bob for almost a year but I am a little bit confused whether l should say I have been learning English for almost a year or I have learned English for almost a year!
@@fho85 That is a great question. Both of your examples are correct and mean the same thing. I could say, "I've been studying English with Bob for almost a year." or "I've studied English with Bob for almost a year." English speakers would use both and it would mean exactly the same thing and be correct.

Great job Bob. I've shared this video with my niece who needs help with grammar learning. This is the best lesson I've had for present perfect tense so far👍
