This is the best explanation about it on RU-vid. I've researched about that for 3 days and I've not found nothing that made sense until now. There's no videos in Portuguese that can explain that on a comprehensive form. Thank you and congrats.
Hey. Teacher I am Alfredo and I am from Mozambique 🇲🇿 I am am fond of learning english and I have been following your RU-vid channel many moons ago and I’ve learned a lot using the tool that you have been providing to us in here almost every single day.
I have been surfing the internet since last week, trying to understand the difference between PP and PPC tenses, now I have completely understood the difference between both. Many many thanks.
I used to find it difficult to clearly distinguish between present perfect tense and present perfect continuous but they have become clearer thanks to your video. By the way, can you continue making other videos like that? it's really helpful.
Hello there! Interactive English is definitely a great channel. Your explanations are so clear and straight to the point! Something that foreign students, as in my case, are looking for to improve our comprehension of the language. Greeting from Argentina!
4: 00 Great Explanation of the difference between Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous using.Fantastic job.Very nice.Keepin'it simple and easy and many many thanks, our dear Wes!
I could finally understand the differences by watching this! Before this, I watched many other movies, but I wasn’t able to understand the differences. Thank you so much!!
The "Quintessential " channel to learn English rules.Efficiency at its "zenith", "Peak". The " epitome " of explanation. Bravo.Nothing to add. Sorry there is one thing I would like to add.A french English teacher asked today in the morning how to translate #je vis à Paris depuis 2 ans# I ve been living in Paris for 2 years was my answer , while he used The PP(I ve lived in paris for 2 years).we have been at loggerheads since... Thanks a lot Sir.تقديراتي .Nouredine Elfounini
I quite like the temporary vs permanent distintction that you make at the end of the video. It makes such subtle difference between these two tenses very clear in that type of context.
For brazilian students, it's a little difficult to understand present perfect and present continuous, because we dont't have this type of tenses in portuguese. However, this lesson is really perfect and helped me a lot. Thanks, teacher.
Hi my best teacher. I really appreciate your interesting lessons. Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance. I wish you happiness and health. Your Student from Algeria.
I have studied English since 1967, but I will never completely master that tenses mess despite your excellent explanation. In German, there are also many tenses but in spoken language we mostly use just two of them: present tense and past perfect. If you want to know when/for how long something happened - just add a temporal adverb!
@@InteractiveEng it was the best video I've seen on RU-vid so far about the topic. Really, I even wrote it down to memorize it better. I kinda knew it deep down, but I couldn't really express the difference by myself, put it into words. You're such a good teacher! Greetings from Brazil!
Simply you are the best , you have simplified it and make it really very easy , and even interesting , thank alot for your professionalism and for the great efforts
present perfect tense இல் auxiliary verb அல்லது helping verb have , has வரும் ஒரு செயல் முடிந்து விட்டது என்றால் present perfect tense நாம் பயன்படுத்த வேண்டும். I have studied என்ற வாக்கியத்தில் have என்பது helping verb studied என்பது past participle . நாம் நினைவில் கொள்ள வேண்டியது have / has வந்தால் main verb என்பது past participle வரும். எனவே மேற்கண்ட வாக்கியத்தில் studied என்பது ( study என்பதன் past participle ) ஆகும். மேலும் சில Example : He has completed his work அவர் அவருடைய வேலையை முடித்து விட்டார்/ முடித்து இருக்கிறார். She has studied well. அவள் நன்றாக படித்து இருக்கிறார் / படித்து விட்டார். present perfect continuous tense இல் auxiliary verb அல்லது helping verb have been, has been வரும் . மற்றும் main verb இன் V 4 form வரும். For example: Study Studied Studied Studying Complete Completed Completed Completing. கடந்த காலத்தில் தொடங்கி நிகழ் காலத்தில் இன்னும் முடிவு பெறாமல் இருக்கும் இடங்களில் நாம் present perfect continuous பயன்படுத்த வேண்டும். Example: I have been studying for past three years. நான் கடந்த மூன்று வருடங்களாக படித்து கொண்டே இருக்கிறேன்.
9:48 Can the verb "live" be considered a part of the list? I assume that the five verbs are interchangable also in other tenses e.g. Future Perfect and Future Perfect Continuous, is that right? Thanks for the video!
Hello teacher Wes 🙏, thank you so much for your videos and hard work that I have learning a lot from you. I have a question, I understand stative verbs, but my Australian friend told me that I can say ( I have been understanding of your situation.) but understand isn't stative verbs ??! 😵
1) She hasn't been saying/ hasn't said a word since he left. 2) What have you done/ been doing so far? 3) I've been reading / have read lots of books. Hello! I'm still here asking for your advice. In the sentences above, which option is correct? In 1) I'm wondering if the continuous is somehow acceptable, or is only the simple form right? When are we supposed to use the negative progressive form? In 2) is "have you been doing" wrong because of "so far"? Can't "so far" be used with the progressive form? In 3) I think both versions are correct: the simple means I've finished reading, while the continuous means I'm still in the middle of reading. I hope you'll help me! Thanks a lor beforehand!
Thank you for the amazing lesson! Would you like please to make a tutorial about the difference between WOULD HAVE , SHOULD HAVE , MUST HAVE ,COULD HAVE ,MAY HAVE , MIGHT HAVE. There are some explanations on this subject, but I got them all confused because their uses are so similar. Thanks
Present Perfect vs Present Perfect Continuous with the use of these five verbs (play, study, teach, work and learn) and the adverb "for" in sentences is something that I have struggled A LOT to understand. I had watched this video a while ago and now I've just read Celce-Murci and Larsen-Freeman's The Grammar Book An ESL/EFL Teacher's Course. Their explanation seems to contradict yours. In their book, we have the following explanation: "Present Perfect Versus Present Perfect Progressive The following distinctions may occours: ... b. Strong implication of continuation versus continuation being only a possibility: - I have been teaching for 25 years. (and I can't imagine doing anything else) - I have taught for 25 years (so now it's time to think about doing something else) Notice, in fact with this pair, that the present perfect progressive implies continuation unless it is contradicted by another clause: I have been teaching for 25 years, but now I want to do something else" In your example, you state that the Present Perfect indicates Permanent state whereas in Celce-Murci and Larsen-Freeman's explanation, the Present Perfect alludes to an action that may finish in the present time, becoming a finished action that started in the past and finishes in the present. On the other hand, you state that the Present Perfect Continous alludes to a temporary sitation, but the the authors I brought up explain it alludes that the action defenitly continues in the present and is likely to continue to happen. So what can I deduce from all of this? If I say "I have studied English for 5 years", I indicate that a) The action can continue to happen permanently or b) The action may be about to end or it has ended in a recent past or almost right now If I say "I have been studying English for 5 years" I indicate that a) The action is temporary. I'll finish my English studies eventually or, since I pointed out the whole period of time before the present AND stressed the fact that I'm still studying English to this day: b) The action is ongoing and I will continue to happen with no time to be concluded These is what I got from all my studies and I find it very frustrating because, in my opinion, the possibilities of interpretetion in both Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous are almost contradictory
Hello, Thank you so much for this lesson. I have been studying English for one year. I am having trouble distinguishing between " I have studied" and I have been staying"! I definitely learn that the difference between is "nothing". Regards
I have studied means you have finished studying , and now further studying is not required . Present perfect - when the action is over I have been studying means , you haven't finished your studies and you further need to study. Present perfect continuous. When the action is still going on. Continuous means when action is happening.It will take to finish.
Excellent job sir, for providing imperative awareness for English learners. I request you please update much more imperative awareness such as:- should have to, should have had to, would have to, would have had to, may have to, may have had to, should have been to. Should have been able to, should have been, would have been, would have been. There are lots of uses in English. Please.🙏🏻
I guess you had a similar topic a while ago but thank you for the repetition. The more someone repeats the more he can uses these tenses correctly right then on the spot.
Finally,I understand the difference between present perfect and present perfect continuous. I have confused about it ,Thank you so much for this great lesson and it is very useful ☺️
Interactive English ... Great video ! Very well explained as usual !! Busuu, LingBodie, etc ... are also very useful web resources for language learning. Sir .... You're awesome! Keep going! ❤️
Yes, I have hit the "like" button. I loved the way you made me do it, but I had been thought to do it at end of the video. I will continue watching the video (y)
Great video! I really thank you so much! I'd like to ask if the list of the verbs which can be used interchangeably are the following: to teach, to play, to learn, to study, to live, and to play. The list at 9' 49'' differs a bit from the one you show at the end of the video, but I suppose you are referring to the same topic, aren't you? The first list includes "to learn", while the last also contains "to live": I hope I've been clear enough. Another question: I've been working here for 10 years. I think the continuous form here puts emphasis on the fact that the action has been in progress for a long time. Or does this verb tense convey only the idea that it may be a temporary action? (I may find a new job in the future) Thank you once again!
I have been watching different teachers on RU-vid and you are the best! The others are in fact not bad BUT their OVERR performances overshadow the teaching, ESPECIALLY THEY ARE NOT EVEN NOMINATED IN OSCAR. It becomes annoying to the learning. WHY HAVEN’T I come across your teaching earlier.
