would you like to do one about subjunctive? I´m just learning that tense and I do not get it at all
best regards
hey osvaldo!
The subjunctive…. we hardly ever use it – it is a very OLD form of English grammar! Grammar is like fashion – it goes out of style and we don’t use it now!! go
Can you please tell when to use these words can, could, Shall, should and will,would. I am much confused about their usage in sentence. Please give video demonstration for this….
Hi.. your lesson was very good.. but i have one confusion… with didn’t we cannot use past tense is this right eg:
I didn’t knew about it.
or
I didn’t know about it.
This lession was gr8 for understanding the basic english conversation, but i would like to ask you one thing…
can you help me to improve my writing english?
Hey everybody!, this was a very interesting class, the verb to have changes a lot so it’s very important to learn how to use it correctly, i also want to say thanks to the teacher for this remarkable lesson
Thank you guys, I have learnt quite a bit. English is my second language but after being sucessful in business I encounter a lot of embarrassment because I can’t express myself fluently in English and I make a lot of gramatical mistakes. Have taught myself english but I want the quickest way to learn, especially grammar. As always will appreciate your help
Very helpful and cleared to undertand. May I asking about to using “has or had” to everyone or everybody(indefinite pronoun)
Example:s Everyone has…. 2. Everybody had .

Hey Ronnie, thanks for the lesson. I wanna ask how could I distinguish between the verbs that take “to” and the ones the take “ing”
For example; I like swimming or I like to swim ? Do I have to memorize them ?
Firstly, I would like to thank you and your colleagues for your great efforts which you have explored to English language learners. Secondly, your offer and idea to provide private lessons on skype is marvellous and I would be grateful to you if you send me more details and how soon can we start because I need to practice with you some speaking. Thank you for a prompt response. NB. 1)It would be perfect to have two or three sessions, an hour each, from now to next Thursday. 2) If you are busy the coming days and you don’t mind asking James , Rebecca or Valen to give me a hand, I would appreciate that very much.

How do you do Ronnie? Your lessons are very useful. I enjoyed.
I graduated university (Magister degree). Now I’m lawyer. But I want to sturdy in Canada how I can do this. Please help me. I look forward to receiving your reply
Ronnie, You has/have forgotten You
and it have/has made me confused.
And I am Jean-luc, the French Reloup Rouge
But Thanks anyway, apart from YOU has forgot IT is a good lesson
I cannot (can’t) get my head around 2 things
1. the difference between like and as-I’ve seen “Like a bat outta hell”, but As blind as a bat”
2. is there a big difference between “fat chance” & “slim chance”- I’ve seen both where the context leads me to believe “small chance”
But Fat is not small- I am all of a confusion!
The person must have said ” fat chance” with sarcasm. Meaning there was NO way there was a chance. That is the same meaning as when somebody says in a serious way that they have a slim chance.
I want to learn the english grammar, so please send the lessons for me. this videos are excellent that’s why i am asking u. Please send the information and provide this grammar lessons.
Thank U

Hello Ronnie…I’m latino; I am in The United States since 2009…my english is so bad. I need(or want, I don’t know wich verb to use) to learn english; I think “engVid” is the better way for that. Thank you so much.
Hi dear Ronnie I’m very glad To found the engvid. let me tell that you fantastic teacher. as u said to the other video ” ?4u ” dear you didn’t said about (IT) and I have problem to suing this word, specially when I want to sue it for negative things and also the past, would it be possible to tell a bit about it, many many thanks
Thanx, I enjoyed it. Could please repeat same lesson by taking positive example. Using “he does have to / has to go to school ” or they do have to go to school. If you can’t prepare a lession Plz email me same sentences but positive. I appreciate your support , you are helping a lotfor students who are unable to afford expensive English courses.

where are you in america.can u make a mission to the philippines and teach indigent children here? plz call me i you can,,,09293177041,,may the LORD GOD BLESS YOU AND HAVE A HUNDREDFOLD OF REWARDS,,,
hi my name is gen from the philippines i am very thankful because of this engvid.com your helping me improved my english grammar..i’m so happy i found this site accidentally..it helps me a lot..thank you teachers, i like the teachings of teacher ronnie..thank you..c”,)..
please help me understand what is the difference or on how to use should, could and would..thank you so much best regards to all teachers..
You should look on the site — another teacher has made this lesson to help you!
Should and could we use for advice with you, he, she, they, we. eg…You/he/she/we/they… should/could go to the movies!
When we use “I”, we must use “would” for advice! “I would go to the movies.”
When we use “I should have + past participle”, it is a regret!
What are the differences between these sentences? and which of them is correct?
1- I have no headsets
2- I haven’t headsets
3- I don’t have headsets
All of these sentences mean the same! #1 is a very old “British English” way of saying #3. #2 is just #1 but haven’t = have not!!!
#3 is what we use the most in daily, natural English!
I wanna to know, when i can use the word ‘have not or has not ‘?
Thanks alot.
We usually don’t use have or has not! But have not is for I, we, you, and they. Has not is for it, she, and he.
We usually say I/we/they/you DONT have… and it/she/he DOESN’T have!!!!!!
hi teacher why you answer everybody except me what hhapning to you pleas my question is what is deffernt between (For you and to you)
thank you teacher
Hello!
I have done a whole lesson on your question! Please be patient and keep watching!
I made a lesson FOR you = I did it to benefit (or do a good thing)
I give a book TO you = an exchange of something!
For we use when it is a benefit.
To we use when we exchange something!
Hope that helps! Please keep watching Engvid for the video I made FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ronnie,
i find your lesson very helpful and no doubt you had make excellent efforts.
I have a question that what form of verb we will use if the pronoun is “it” should we have to use “have” or “has”
i really enjoyed the lesson ,nice work and hope you do more in future .i wanna to understands “the tenses” if you don’t mind each one separately..
thx ronnie
Hi,Ronnie this lesson helped me a lot after a long time i have easily understood about do,does..etc iam very thankful to you and your team please help for me by using this type of simple methods. Thanks a lot.
Hi! We say “I do have” to emphasis the fact that we have. Example:
On their friendship anniversary, a girl asks to her boyfriend if he has a gift for her. The fact is that the boy has been planning for getting her a very nice gift that he thinks she will like very much. So when she asks “Do you have a gift for me, honey? With a big smile, he might say “I do have something for you my darling!”
I hope it is helpful.
yes no doubt u r an intersting teacher.I like the way u conduct the class with such energy.
I would like to hear from u some grammar.wat’s the difference between the following:
i had some tea
i would have some tea
i will have some tea.
also are the sentences”wat did we have?” and “wat we had?” mean the same.
I am totally mixed up with these past perfect and future perfect tenses both in conversation and in framing questions.when to use what?do u mind explaining these for me?
I had some tea. = Simple past
I would have some tea.= Past of “will” (I will have some tea)
I will have some tea. =Simple Future What did we have? is correct, but “What we had?“, is not correct!
Hope that helps! Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Hello, my name is Daranee I’m Thai i comefrom Chiangmai, now I live in singapore

hi teacher,
I found ur videos very beneficial for me,i have one confusion that u said for singular we use does and for pleural we use do,but my question is “I”,is also a singular form but why we are not using does with it?
kindly pick my english mistakes in writing this comment as well.
thanka
With I we use have because it is the grammar rule….I don’t know why it is just the rule.
I found your videos very beneficial. I am confused about one thing, you said for singular we use does and for plural we use do.My question is “I” , it is also a singular form but why we are not using does with it?
Kindly pick my out English mistakes in this comment as well.
thanks
You keep on repeating the word English, sadly most of your words are not what English people would teach or say. if fact it is true to say that it is American English, not English as it is spoken, and it is not ‘ weird” how British people speak, it is the right way and it should be the only way to teach, because as an English teacher myself i have to correct my students time and time again because they have learned English from a lazy and ignorant teacher, please do not (don’t) get me wrong, i am not saying that you do a good job bur if you are going to teach English then please use the correct English, because it is(it’s) a bad reflection on British teachers who spend an eternity correcting foreign students how it is actually spoken. I find it rather annoying that you are to lazy to correct yourself in this way and expect your students to be just as lazy as yourself. Do not (don’t) blame the Queens English for being spoken as it should be when you are either to ignorant or just plain lazy to do so. I hope that you read this comment that i have written so that it may help others who actually pay to learn out native tongue.
thank you (thank’s)
yours
Kelly
Ahahahahhahah
That means I’m laughing at you in “American” ” English”.
I guess they don’t teach you how to write a proper sentence in the bloody Queen’s English, only how to be a twat!
Dear Kelly,
Because of teachers like you (super competent but also super arrogant and intolerant), the persons like me (the poor wretches that we are!) ended up being disgusted and annoyed by the “classic” English lessons. Please note that most of the persons I know have STUDIED english (and not american English!!) at school for many years with some teatchers like you and have really LEARNT english with some teatchers like Ronnie. Please note that a language changes and progress so before criticize maybe you’d open your mind and be more pleasant. Surely the British Queens speak English and not American but surely she’s got good manners and is POLITE. Keep smiling…
:D I like it when people get angry on the internet!
Dear Kelly,
I have CAREFULLY and CONSCIOUSLY gone through your wise,valuable suggestions..It turned out to be the most disgusting,boring,irritating,annoying article which I have ever read in my life..Do you know what is the actual problem of some scum like you-I firmly believe you do not..You people always try to make everything complicated and too tough so that no one can absorb the ideas and grasp the knowldge from something which is actually very simple-We get confused,messed up,demotivated,frustrated during the learning period because of some bch…. like you.You people create problems for us-i am specifically proud of getting teachers like Ronnie and others-They are my inspiration,idle,friend-philosopher-guide and nothing less than GOD-They are really doing a great and noble job here-So you please let them go on.. if you don’t like them,are not satisfied and if you think they are illiterate,uneducated people then you please leave from here-This place is not suitable for you and do some research on English and if you don’t have anything to do else finding out others mistakes then buy a bottle of poision and drink it up sparing us…It’s my heartiest request to you-because we don’t want people like you here….Don’t mind and keep smiling..
1.Ronnie is great teacher!
2. I don’t think you are a teacher!you can not write properly. I is always (I) no (i)..You can not be a teacher…sorry and if you don’t like this web you should not be here! Ronnie is the best!
She has a dog. (Simple present tense, means she own a dog)
She is having a dog. (Present continuous tense, means at the time of speaking, she is with a dog).
hello teacher ronnie. please teach me/us about “had had” “has had” “have had” etc. iam confuse about this. thank you!
Hello!
Had + p.p (past participle) is the past perfect tense! Eg.. I had had a dog, then I had a cat. We usually use past perfect and the simple past together.
Have/has + p.p is present perfect. He/she/it has + p.p. Eg..She has had a dog for 4 years.
I/we/they have +p.p. Eg.. I have had a dog for 3 years.
Hope that helps you!
I will try to make a lesson on this for you!
Extremely important foundational knowledge. ESL students really get confused with do/does/has/have and we teach them the first rule: Does and has with 3rd person singular and then tell them it is incorrect to say “Does she has?” So this lesson it great! Thanks
Hi;
I want to know when I can use has,have,and had
Thank you
Has and have are present tense.
I/they/we/you + have. We have a class at 2pm.
She/he/it + has. It has a ball.
Had is past tense. You don’t have to change the verb with different subjects — they are all had!
I/they/you/we/she/it/he = had. Eg. I had a headache last night.
i’m just wondering to know the difference between
i have met him
i had met him .
your answer is highly appreciated.
thank you.
I have met him is present perfect and used when there is no time indicator and/or based on life experience. I had met him is past perfect and used when we talk about an action in the past that is no longer true today.
I want to speak fluent english but, iam suffering alot… i have more grammer mistakes in my english… if iam speaking to the managers means i got struck in midddle and i couldnt able to speak to them..
kindly suggest me what can i do..
Thanks
Just talk. Don’t think that this person is a manager — it makes you nervous. Just imagine that the person you are talking to is a friend!
i have a doubt…. please tell me the correct sentence out of the following 2 sentences.
1. i had finished my schooling
2. i have finished my schooling.
which sentence is correct.
Both are correct — 1) is past perfect 2) is present perfect!
thanks a lot…… your way of teaching is really amazing…. can you please explain me the usage of the words could and would…. its really confusing me a lot
There are many different ways to use could/would. Search engVid to find the lessons on these words.
THAK YOU so much Ms. Ronnie your demonstration on how to use these have,has and had really helps me. I have so uch trouble in using it in a sentence now I was enlightened. God Bless and more power!
thanx for lesson its very helpfull
i have one querry, for exp if i am telling some one she will do well or she will does which one is correct becz in your lesson u have told that aftr she or he it shld be does & in I,they,we, you it shld be do. plz help me out.
this video is a big help for me.I mean not only this video but mostly all of ur videos are great and informative.I watched everyday because i want to improve my english skill.
Teacher ronnie,does my sentences is correct?pls correct me if there is wrong.
i really appreciate it.tnx
does my sentences is correct – “Are my sentences correct”.
I watched everyday because i want to improve my english skill. “I watch everyday because I”
i have two problems in english 1- the using had had in sentence. 2- the writing skill( bother way am alreasy graduated from languages and translation college) thanks
hi can you make a lesson about nouns that are always in plural forms? please, it makes me confused.and does shoes have a singular form, can i say : my shoes are cute? a pair of shoes? thank you.
Hi Ronnie,
I’ve got a question for you to answer.
When teachers check homework, do you think it’s better to ask: Did you do your homework for today or Have you done your homework for today? – Did you bring your English book or Have you brought your English book?
And what about students? Is it better: I forgot my homework/booketc. or I’ve forgotten my homework/book, etc.?
Old Walt Whitman thnaks you a lot.
Hey Old Walt Whitman!
It is better to use simple past because you are using the time marker of “today”.
However, it is not wrong to use present perfect, it just seems more natural for me to use simple past!
i asked about what is the type of verb that followed had them ,i mean if there is had or have +possessive adjectives so, what is the type of verb comes after is it gerund or base form of verb or infinitive ?
please i will be waiting your replay.thank you again.
ahmad
hey u r the best teacher. u explain the things very clearly. before this i was so afraid of tense but now i can catch it beautifully thanks for being there to help students like me
hiiii
thanks for the lessone
but I wanna ask you about how i can use have to or have been or has to like this?
thanks
Have/has to are obligations = I have to go to the movies.She has to eat her dinner.
Have been= present perfect.www.engvid.com/past-simple-or-present-perfect/
Hi Ronnie, How are you doing? I love your videos and all the videos are useful and informative. I have a slight confusion with “am/is” against “has/have” usage. Examples
1) It is done/It has done/ It has been done
2) Is he come/ Has he come?
Similary with “do” against “are”, Examples
1) Do you agree?/ Are you agree? (In my opinion, it is wrong usage)
2) Are you ready? / Do you ready?
Can you please clarify when to use what from the above examples?
Please clarify my queries here or make a new video if it is really difficult to explain over here.. :-)
danke
It is done – is simple present tense.
It has been done is present perfect.
When you use “is”, it is present tense. Have/has + past participle is past tense (present perfect)!
He has come = present perfect. He is come is wrong – you are correct! Good work!
When the following word is a verb (agree) you have to use “do”
If the following word is an adjective (ready) you have to use “to be”.
Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I understood the concept now but I still have confusions with question formations using “Do”, “Will”, “Have” etc. For example:
Do you come? (present)
Will you come? (future)
Have you come? / Did you come? (past)
I think “Have you come?” is incorrect…
Similarly question formations using shall/will/should/would/could/has/had etc.
I would request you to make a video (ofcourse whenever you get a free time) regarding question formations..
thank you / Merci – your second language in canada :-)
what is the correct sentence? The store was cleaned by Mrs. Rosy or the store had cleaned by Mrs. Rosy.sometime i also encountered like this” to show what happened at a time in the past and is finished”.Why not was finished?I hope you will reply..thnk you and more power
Hy Ronnie. I love your video lessons, but I have one question: when you say that we have to use the form “has” for he or she because they are singular people, then why do we have to use “have” for I? Isn’t that a singular person as well? Thanks.
Yes, I is a singular person. I have no idea why we have to use have – it is just another grammar rule!
hello teacher
whould U mind to remind U because U forgot tow pronouns (it & you ) so am hoping that not to forget to thank U for your efforts. please correct me if there is any wrong.
hi! Ms.Ronnie, by the way thank you very for having me a good lesson with you, your explanation is very clear that’s why i understand clearly this is very basic but i confused for this word for using in conversation.
and i want to thank’s to all teacher in this site more power and god bless
Hi,love the way you teach us;you guys are very nice,love you very much sweet people,I thing only reason behind American and Canadian development is that you people are very honest,love you ma’am.
Here I have a question.
I studied the rule that with singular and third person pronoun we should use “has” like he has or she has.
But while offering a seat a single person why we don’t say him”has a seat please.”
why we also say him have a seat?
please mail me the answer.
We say “have a seat`, because we are talking about the seat (which is singular) – not the person!
today i learn about where to use do and did, has have had. i cant express the joy. from past two years i just to speak English so i start purchasing grammar books reading papers but didn’t get these rules so easy.. thanks mam. every did i watch ur videos and leave comment..thanks for helping
Wow – this is the second time I’ve had a student ask me this question – where did you get this from??? It is very. very unnatural and I would NEVER say this. Grammatically, it looks alright but you need a comma. THE STRANGER WAS AFFABLE, WITH GOOD MANNERS and A KEEN WIT.
hi again, you didn’t mention “it” and “you” in the explanation- how do we reffer to them?
and i also didn’t understood why do we say “he doesn’t have” and not “he doesn’t has”
and just like it- in the past why don’t we say “he didn’t had”
thank you a lot!!
It + has.
You + have.
We change the auxiliary verb DO to DOES with he/she/it, so we do not need to change the next verb. In the sentence “He doesn’t have”, only the DOES reflects the subject!
hi, Ronnie, i am one of your fans here. i love your teaching style. i wish you will add another topic how to stop stutter or mubble words cause i have this kind of problem.
Thanks! A lot of people mumble! Just try to slow down and say the words slower! Most people do it because they are nervous! Just take your time and try to speak slower!
HI, thanks for the lesson, i needed help in how to use have and has in a paragraph. for eg: Preserving food by drying, fermenting, salting and smoking ….. been in practice for several centuries. would you use has or have? just want to know what the rule is in such situation?
Thanks you. So just to make sure my understanding is correct, we would use have whenever it is plural or 1st person or 2nd person, and we use has whenever it is singular or if it is uncountable? please clarify this.
I/you/they(including plural nouns)/we = have
He/she/it(including singular and uncountable nouns)= has.
Hello. I think the last quiz has 2 answers.. “I____ two eyes”. Why “have” is correct,but “had” is false??
If you say “I had two eyes” it means you had two eyes in the past, but don’t any more. So it might be correct if you happen to have lost an eye in an accident or something…
Hi Ronnie how are you? thanks for all lessons!….today’s lesson was great thank you so much!….i like the way you teach! ….i have a question: if you can do a lesson about the phasal verbs?..bless you!
Hi!ok so in order to make it clear enough or the bottom line is instead had not which is negative I can use didn’t have and aside from that “has” is also for had? is it? what about if that is singular for instance: she didn’t have or she didn’t has which is correct? thanks much!!!
He hadn’t eaten breakfast. Is this correct in American english or is it, he didn’t eaten breakfast. which one is correct? I need to know the answer its urgent please !!!
Quick question Ronnie: Am I right saying the following? “I have had eaten my breakfast before going to the office last Monday.” Thanks!
Almost – but you have to say….I had eaten my breakfast before going to the office last Monday.”
Past perfect = had + past participle. (you had 2 past participles)
Spot on Ronnie. Thank you! I’m really confuse sometimes if I want to say past and future perfect tense. I will find if you have such lesson here. Thanks once again. Cheers
Is ‘my wallet is stolen’ or ‘my wallet had been stolen’ or ‘my wallet was stolen’ ? what is the difference?
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate you effort:]
is = present tense. We wouldn’t use this to talk about this situation.
was = past tense. This is the most natural way to say this.
had been = past perfect. We would only use this to tell a story where 2 actions occurred. EX. I was going to buy some fruit but then I realized that my wallet had been stolen.
Hello, Ms Ronnie, My name is Zohaib and i just watch you lesson videos.i am very happy because i have learnt alot today from your videos, but please advise me about how to improve my English Vocabulary? second please also give me tips how to improve my communication skill just like you.please take complete Quiz test so i can evulate myself today or tommorrow after having your leatures.
at the end, Thanks again
Zohaib
Search the site for “improve conversation” and “improve vocabulary”!
Hi Ronnie,
How come, you didn’t talk about the
pronoun IT.I beleive we can say,it(the table) has four legs.Also we can say: I haven’t, I hadn’t,he/she/it hasn’t.
Would you pleas correct me!
I am afraid of it.
It = has/hasn’t…you are correct!
hello. im just wondering. when do we use has have had… can we use it always before the verb? such us emigrate, be, sing, notice, tell,… why we use have if even without have is ok… help me
thanks
Had/have/has=verb!
If use use have/has + p.p it is present perfect
Had + p.p = past perfect!
One thing I would like to share with you is to make sure I am on the right track:-
Has-used for singular nouns (He, She and It)
Have-used for plural nouns (I, We, They and You)
HAD is the past tense of HAVE
and,
if negative HAD then, all sentences will be didn’t have (irrespective of singular and plural nouns)
If I am right, then I think I making a good move towards learning English.
Thank for your reply ^——^
1] He and She must to use Has/does?it never change?
2] When we must to use Had? please give some example.
1) he/she/it use has and does – yes, this never changes in the present tense!
2) Had = past tense. She/he/you/I/they/we + had some apples.
I had a cold but now it is gone.
Watch the video again and YOU give ME examples.
hiiiiiiiiiii, gud mornig, its nice but its so old i mean this function isnt better for us .. you should be bring a new and better idea. and once again thanks for it..
Hi Ronnie, how are you going ?
What can you about me ? Well, I can understand writing and even listen you teaching on video. However,I cannot write well! What should I do? I’m from Brazil and I love your teaching.Of course which this writing has a lot of errors, but it was what I could do without use the translator. Thanks.
To practice writing, you should write a short diary entry daily. OR just try to write without a translator and see how you do! Translators make us lazy. You are fortunate because a lot of the vocabulary is similar in Portuguese and English!
And Ronnie, ohh look me here again….
I’ve a question. Should I use;
I hadn’t or I didn’t have ?
Ex: I’d not a car. I did not have a car.
And sorry me, but I’ve another question ? May I ask ? oh, in fact, I just ask a question.
What should I use ?
I don’t have or I haven’t ?
Ex; I don’t have a book.
I haven’t a book.
Thanks !!!
“Didn’t have” is what I would say, but “hadn’t is also 100% correct. I think hadn’t is old British English. If you are speaking to an old British person, they might say “hadn’t”. Most people use didn’t have!
Again, I would say ” I don’t have a book”. I haven’t a book is old English!
What ´s the difference betweeen :
Did you tell.. or
Have you told..
When we use did and when have!!
Did you tell = simple past. We use this with a time marker. Ex. Did you tell him yesterday.
Have you told = present perfect. We use this without a definite time marker. Ex. Have you told him. (We don’t know when)!
Do I say, for example : ” Why does everything (have) to be about you? ” or do I say : ” Why does everything (has) to be about you? ”
Your help would be greatly appreciated :)
Hey Ronnie! Filipino here! I forgot this, while I’m in vacation… Now, I’m writing a story. And I have a lot of questions to my mom if my grammar is right, but she’s always irritated. So I searched in youtube about this lesson. So thank you for sharing your knowledge to us…
hi ronnie… do you already have a video of how and when to use “SOMEBODY, SOMEONE, EVERYBODY, EVERYONE”?if you don’t, can you please make one for me? coz i find it very difficult… (is my grammar right?) oh ronnie, please help me….
hey ronnie how r you? i have an other question for u.my question is that in thz video u taught us that if we want to make negative sentence so we write like this she doesn’t has or they don’t have but i learned in negative sentence we use hasn’t nd write like she hasn’t eaten mango or i haven’t eaten mango so would u pls explain???
In the past tense we say did/didn’t, present tense does/doesn’t. You can use hasn’t/haven’t but it is very old fashioned- we don’t use them now (but they are correct).
However, if you use present perfect as you did in your example “hasn’t eaten mango or i haven’t eaten mango”, you MUST use have/has + p.p.
You have written 2 different grammar tenses – that is why you are confused!
Hello madam,
what’s the difference between have,has,had in perfect tense and as means of possession.I am so confused about this usage.
Have/has + p.p is present perfect.
Had + p.p is past perfect.
Have/has + base verb is to show possession in the present tense.
Had + base verb is the past tense to show possession!
many many thanks for ur teaching,past days i don’t understand how to use have ,has,or had but today when i see ur video i can understand how i use have,has or had.it’s beautiful thanks( toufiq) from bangladesh in barisal
IT IS NICE NOW I UNDERSTAND THANKS A LOT
I BEEN LEARNING WITH U SINCE 2011 N THANKS FOR TEACHING AGAIN N U R SO FUNNY WHEN U TEACH LIKE IN HAS HAVE AND HAD WHEN THEIR IS THE POLICE CAR SOUND I LIKE THANKS A LOT AGAIN
hello, Ronnie, thank u so much for ur lessons… i have a question: can i say: ‘i haven’t a car’ instead of ‘i don’t have a car’?
and do people in Canada use “have (has) got” in their everyday communication?
hi ronnie,thanks to made this video,it’s useful..it clears the difficult in using the words have has and had.i have request with you that could you make a video for the words have been,has been,had been usage.if the video is already posted then send the link of the video…
We are required to construct an essay using active sentences. Now, I’m confused which one to use.
(a) I have often reflected on this nugget of wisdom.
(b) I often reflect on this nugget of wisdom.
You guys are awesome. I love engvid.com and it has helped me a lot. Whenever I feels I’m using wrong grammar or speaking wrong English, I always come here and look for a video which could help me to improve my English.
Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

hello, Ronnie . I am very confused about when we gonna use the phrase ” has been” ? ” have been”? what is the real meaning of it? and also what is the difference between ” have had ” and ” have “?
I am new on this web site. I don’t know it will work or not. but I really want to work on my Grammar. As I am working work with MNC company but I have lot’s of problem with my grammar. So, Can you tell me what I need to do.
Hello,
Ronnie you’re doing fabulous job over here.Your way of teaching is so good that even morons like me can understand it. HATS OFF to yours teaching.
I need your more help while understanding the use of “had had”,”have had”,”haven’t had”,hasnt had”. Hope your could prepare a lesson for me on this topic.
thanking you!
I have no
I don’t have
He has no
He doesn’t have
It has no
It doesn’t have
I really want to know the difference.
I am awaiting for your reply
Have/has no/not and do/does not are the same!!!
The only thing is that we usually use do/does not! Have/has no/not is old school English! To speak more naturally, use do/does not!
hello!
It was a very useful lesson,
would you like to do one about subjunctive? I´m just learning that tense and I do not get it at all
best regards
hey osvaldo!
The subjunctive…. we hardly ever use it – it is a very OLD form of English grammar! Grammar is like fashion – it goes out of style and we don’t use it now!! go
hiiii
thanks for the lessone
but I wanna ask you about how i can use have to or have been or has to like this?
thanks

Thank you for a prompt response. NB. 1)It would be perfect to have two or three sessions, an hour each, from now to next Thursday. 2) If you are busy the coming days and you don’t mind asking James , Rebecca or Valen to give me a hand, I would appreciate that very much.

I graduated university (Magister degree). Now I’m lawyer. But I want to sturdy in Canada how I can do this. Please help me. I look forward to receiving your reply
Very important to me…Usually, to create the negative I used the “Shakespearean form” ;-)). Thank U
THANK YOU ALOT,
IAM FROME SAUDI ARABIA,
I REALLY ENJOY WITH THAT.
Ronnie, You has/have forgotten You
and it have/has made me confused.
And I am Jean-luc, the French Reloup Rouge
But Thanks anyway, apart from YOU has forgot IT is a good lesson
I cannot (can’t) get my head around 2 things
1. the difference between like and as-I’ve seen “Like a bat outta hell”, but As blind as a bat”
2. is there a big difference between “fat chance” & “slim chance”- I’ve seen both where the context leads me to believe “small chance”
But Fat is not small- I am all of a confusion!
The person must have said ” fat chance” with sarcasm. Meaning there was NO way there was a chance. That is the same meaning as when somebody says in a serious way that they have a slim chance.
I think I’d prefer to have a slim chance than a fat chance
It would seem I have neither a fat nor a slim chance of getting an answer to my question
Good lesson Ronnie!
P.S. About the siren, you know if the police caught the thief?

please help me understand what is the difference or on how to use should, could and would..thank you so much best regards to all teachers..
You should look on the site — another teacher has made this lesson to help you!
Should and could we use for advice with you, he, she, they, we. eg…You/he/she/we/they… should/could go to the movies!
When we use “I”, we must use “would” for advice! “I would go to the movies.”
When we use “I should have + past participle”, it is a regret!
wow thanks for this site, it can help me learn more about English specially that I am hard up learning it.. I’m from Baguio, here in Philippines.
Do we say ” she is having or she is hasing. why?
I need a clarification please .
She is having! Hasing is not a word!
wow it’s amazing website i love it
hello Thank you for this lesson , you are a good teacher
What are the differences between these sentences? and which of them is correct?
1- I have no headsets
2- I haven’t headsets
3- I don’t have headsets
All of these sentences mean the same! #1 is a very old “British English” way of saying #3. #2 is just #1 but haven’t = have not!!!
#3 is what we use the most in daily, natural English!
Hi Ronnie,
I wanna to know, when i can use the word ‘have not or has not ‘?
Thanks alot.
We usually don’t use have or has not! But have not is for I, we, you, and they. Has not is for it, she, and he.
We usually say I/we/they/you DONT have… and it/she/he DOESN’T have!!!!!!
U teach so good! Ronni i see your lessons only.
Ronnie ,I just can not find the words to thank you !
Thx alot Ronnie
great iam satisfied by visiting thz site

To we use when we exchange something!

the president has/have the money
the president has/have a money
President is 1 person so we use has.

Hi Ronnie, could you please explain when are we to use have had, have has, have been, had been.
Thanks, I greatly appreciate it!
thanks for every thing Ronnie i think your are the best teacher for us…..
hi
really,i’m enjoying when i whatch your lessons,it’s easy and so helpful.
thx
wowww thts so helpfull
Thank Ronnie very much!
Hi,Ronnie this lesson helped me a lot after a long time i have easily understood about do,does..etc iam very thankful to you and your team please help for me by using this type of simple methods. Thanks a lot.
hi ronnie,i’m happy i had learn new..(is this correct?i want to ask something,if the band has a name is it plural or singular?example the beegees.
or should i say “i learned.”
Hi, thank you for useful lessons.
I have a question about using “have”. I often hear people to say “I do have…”. why they use “DO” word?
Hello….. I do have IS NOT CORRECT!!!! Be careful….just because people say things, it does not mean they are correct! You should just say “I have”!!!!
Hi! We say “I do have” to emphasis the fact that we have. Example:
On their friendship anniversary, a girl asks to her boyfriend if he has a gift for her. The fact is that the boy has been planning for getting her a very nice gift that he thinks she will like very much. So when she asks “Do you have a gift for me, honey? With a big smile, he might say “I do have something for you my darling!”
I hope it is helpful.
helo .i will never end to say you thank.i had 100 thank you
yes no doubt u r an intersting teacher.I like the way u conduct the class with such energy.
I would like to hear from u some grammar.wat’s the difference between the following:
i had some tea
i would have some tea
i will have some tea.
also are the sentences”wat did we have?” and “wat we had?” mean the same.
I am totally mixed up with these past perfect and future perfect tenses both in conversation and in framing questions.when to use what?do u mind explaining these for me?
I had some tea. = Simple past
I would have some tea.= Past of “will” (I will have some tea)
I will have some tea. =Simple Future
What did we have? is correct, but “What we had?“, is not correct!
Hope that helps! Good luck! Thanks for watching!
You teach good and I have a good time good luck!Thank you too much that you teach me.Good luck!
i like you too you have teach me everything

kindly pick my english mistakes in writing this comment as well.
thanka
With I we use have because it is the grammar rule….I don’t know why it is just the rule.
I found your videos very beneficial.
I am confused about one thing, you said for singular we use does and for plural we use do.My question is “I” , it is also a singular form but why we are not using does with it?
Kindly pick my out English mistakes in this comment as well.
thanks
thank you mam,so kind of you
I think the last sentence should be Kindly pick out my English mistakes in this comments as well!
hi….it was short crisp & precise……………
Hi, can you teach us, when to use, have had, had had, have had and etcetera.
I will try to make a video for you! In the meantime, you can look at Rebecca’s lesson on “review of tenses”.
Hope that helps you! Good luck!
You keep on repeating the word English, sadly most of your words are not what English people would teach or say. if fact it is true to say that it is American English, not English as it is spoken, and it is not ‘ weird” how British people speak, it is the right way and it should be the only way to teach, because as an English teacher myself i have to correct my students time and time again because they have learned English from a lazy and ignorant teacher, please do not (don’t) get me wrong, i am not saying that you do a good job bur if you are going to teach English then please use the correct English, because it is(it’s) a bad reflection on British teachers who spend an eternity correcting foreign students how it is actually spoken. I find it rather annoying that you are to lazy to correct yourself in this way and expect your students to be just as lazy as yourself. Do not (don’t) blame the Queens English for being spoken as it should be when you are either to ignorant or just plain lazy to do so. I hope that you read this comment that i have written so that it may help others who actually pay to learn out native tongue.
thank you (thank’s)
yours
Kelly
Ahahahahhahah
That means I’m laughing at you in “American” ” English”.
I guess they don’t teach you how to write a proper sentence in the bloody Queen’s English, only how to be a twat!
Dear Kelly,
Because of teachers like you (super competent but also super arrogant and intolerant), the persons like me (the poor wretches that we are!) ended up being disgusted and annoyed by the “classic” English lessons. Please note that most of the persons I know have STUDIED english (and not american English!!) at school for many years with some teatchers like you and have really LEARNT english with some teatchers like Ronnie. Please note that a language changes and progress so before criticize maybe you’d open your mind and be more pleasant. Surely the British Queens speak English and not American but surely she’s got good manners and is POLITE. Keep smiling…
:D I like it when people get angry on the internet!
Dear Kelly,
I have CAREFULLY and CONSCIOUSLY gone through your wise,valuable suggestions..It turned out to be the most disgusting,boring,irritating,annoying article which I have ever read in my life..Do you know what is the actual problem of some scum like you-I firmly believe you do not..You people always try to make everything complicated and too tough so that no one can absorb the ideas and grasp the knowldge from something which is actually very simple-We get confused,messed up,demotivated,frustrated during the learning period because of some bch…. like you.You people create problems for us-i am specifically proud of getting teachers like Ronnie and others-They are my inspiration,idle,friend-philosopher-guide and nothing less than GOD-They are really doing a great and noble job here-So you please let them go on.. if you don’t like them,are not satisfied and if you think they are illiterate,uneducated people then you please leave from here-This place is not suitable for you and do some research on English and if you don’t have anything to do else finding out others mistakes then buy a bottle of poision and drink it up sparing us…It’s my heartiest request to you-because we don’t want people like you here….Don’t mind and keep smiling..
1.Ronnie is great teacher!
2. I don’t think you are a teacher!you can not write properly. I is always (I) no (i)..You can not be a teacher…sorry and if you don’t like this web you should not be here! Ronnie is the best!
She ______ a dog.
* has
* have
* is having
Why not She is having a dog?
Bit confused.
because having is plural?
She has a dog. (Simple present tense, means she own a dog)
She is having a dog. (Present continuous tense, means at the time of speaking, she is with a dog).
having a dog
ronnie i fall in love with your lessons
thank teacher .i am need this lesson because i have problem in english (mybe i use to have in correct form in this phrase)
As a future teacher of English, this is very useful to me…thanks very much
i really enjoyed the lesson.thank you very much
شكرا جزيلا thank you i understood
thank you for your help in grammar.
Thank you for the lesson! :)
Thanks.I’ve been in need a good explanation like this.You are adept at deliver information
hello teacher ronnie. please teach me/us about “had had” “has had” “have had” etc. iam confuse about this. thank you!
Hello!
Had + p.p (past participle) is the past perfect tense! Eg.. I had had a dog, then I had a cat. We usually use past perfect and the simple past together.
Have/has + p.p is present perfect. He/she/it has + p.p. Eg..She has had a dog for 4 years.
I/we/they have +p.p. Eg.. I have had a dog for 3 years.
Hope that helps you!
I will try to make a lesson on this for you!
Extremely important foundational knowledge. ESL students really get confused with do/does/has/have and we teach them the first rule: Does and has with 3rd person singular and then tell them it is incorrect to say “Does she has?” So this lesson it great! Thanks
Hi Ms. Ronnie thank you for this Lesson, But I’m having a hard time to understand the past of have. :(
Hi Ms. Ronnie Thank you for this lesson. But I’m having a hard time the past of have. I dont get it. :(

” i didnt had eaten it “”
” i had not eaten it ”
” i didnt had ate it”" so which one is correct and why ? pease reply i need to know that .
Hi;
I want to know when I can use has,have,and had
Thank you
Has and have are present tense.
I/they/we/you + have. We have a class at 2pm.
She/he/it + has. It has a ball.
Had is past tense. You don’t have to change the verb with different subjects — they are all had!
I/they/you/we/she/it/he = had. Eg. I had a headache last night.
thanks >> i get it.
Hahahha so cool
do you teach near the police station center??????????
that voice is always in all lectures
No, but there is a lot of crime in our city. We have new microphones in the newer lessons, so you shouldn’t be bothered by the outside noise as much.
hello my best English teacher
how are you?
thanks for your this lecture
it was Great….
hi there,i hope you doing great.
i’m just wondering to know the difference between
i have met him
i had met him .
your answer is highly appreciated.
thank you.
I have met him is present perfect and used when there is no time indicator and/or based on life experience.
I had met him is past perfect and used when we talk about an action in the past that is no longer true today.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Hi,

vs
I did make …

I did make is wrong!
I had made = you made something in the past!
Thank you Ronnie
I asked you this because I heard for many times on TV this kind of approaching for the past perfect, I thought this is a slang.
Thanks for your helps Ronnie!

You can see all my lessons there!
Thanks for watching!!!!!!
Hi Ronnie,
I’ve got a question for you to answer.
When teachers check homework, do you think it’s better to ask: Did you do your homework for today or Have you done your homework for today? – Did you bring your English book or Have you brought your English book?
And what about students? Is it better: I forgot my homework/booketc. or I’ve forgotten my homework/book, etc.?
Old Walt Whitman thnaks you a lot.
Hey Old Walt Whitman!
It is better to use simple past because you are using the time marker of “today”.
However, it is not wrong to use present perfect, it just seems more natural for me to use simple past!
thxs for the nice vid
TKS Teacher! ;D
i asked about what is the type of verb that followed had them ,i mean if there is had or have +possessive adjectives so, what is the type of verb comes after is it gerund or base form of verb or infinitive ?

ahmad

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MS . RONNIE

Hi Ronnie… i learned something again..i didn’t know that..thank you..
ronnie is the best but we must talk about diference between from/by/of.
hiiii
thanks for the lessone
but I wanna ask you about how i can use have to or have been or has to like this?
thanks
Have/has to are obligations = I have to go to the movies.She has to eat her dinner.
Have been= present perfect.www.engvid.com/past-simple-or-present-perfect/
hi
i want learn all tens
Hi Ronnie, How are you doing? I love your videos and all the videos are useful and informative. I have a slight confusion with “am/is” against “has/have” usage. Examples
1) It is done/It has done/ It has been done
2) Is he come/ Has he come?
Similary with “do” against “are”, Examples
1) Do you agree?/ Are you agree? (In my opinion, it is wrong usage)
2) Are you ready? / Do you ready?
Can you please clarify when to use what from the above examples?
Please clarify my queries here or make a new video if it is really difficult to explain over here.. :-)
danke
It is done – is simple present tense.
It has been done is present perfect.
When you use “is”, it is present tense. Have/has + past participle is past tense (present perfect)!
He has come = present perfect. He is come is wrong – you are correct! Good work!
When the following word is a verb (agree) you have to use “do”
If the following word is an adjective (ready) you have to use “to be”.
Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I understood the concept now but I still have confusions with question formations using “Do”, “Will”, “Have” etc. For example:
Do you come? (present)
Will you come? (future)
Have you come? / Did you come? (past)
I think “Have you come?” is incorrect…
Similarly question formations using shall/will/should/would/could/has/had etc.
I would request you to make a video (ofcourse whenever you get a free time) regarding question formations..
thank you / Merci – your second language in canada :-)
I love this program, love all d lesson, love everything in this site … i can speak confident. I love 2 learn on it everyday …

I ___ watched Bakuman(it’s a movie)??
Yes, your grammar is correct! I watched Bakuman. This sentence is simple past tense!!! Great work!
Hy Ronnie. I love your video lessons, but I have one question: when you say that we have to use the form “has” for he or she because they are singular people, then why do we have to use “have” for I? Isn’t that a singular person as well? Thanks.
Yes, I is a singular person. I have no idea why we have to use have – it is just another grammar rule!
Thank you so much ronnie i really appreciate your lesson. More power.. :D
This is great. Thank you Ronnie.
very good, thank very much
This lesson is basic,but very important for me

Hello Mr.RONNIE
I don’t really understanding
didn’t
don’t
which is correct
ex: i don’t know about him.
i didn’t know about him.
Don’t is present tense.
Didn’t is past tense.
Thank you= Рахмет
Thanks you Ronnie,I am happy to listen your video.it is ok for the first english learning.
!!!!!
Hallo Mr. Ronnie,
I am very happy to listen your spoken English,because your teaching was very nice,I want to say many thanks for you.
thank you a lot i learn many lesson from you and i will learn a lot really thank you from helal in egypt
Tank you
Hi,love the way you teach us;you guys are very nice,love you very much sweet people,I thing only reason behind American and Canadian development is that you people are very honest,love you ma’am.
Here I have a question.
I studied the rule that with singular and third person pronoun we should use “has” like he has or she has.
But while offering a seat a single person why we don’t say him”has a seat please.”
why we also say him have a seat?
please mail me the answer.
We say “have a seat`, because we are talking about the seat (which is singular) – not the person!
You need a space between A and KEEN.
thank for this lesson
today i learn about where to use do and did, has have had. i cant express the joy. from past two years i just to speak English so i start purchasing grammar books reading papers but didn’t get these rules so easy.. thanks mam. every did i watch ur videos and leave comment..thanks for helping
The teaching was really good and helpfull, I have few qestions
_____ Julia and Sam got any money?
Answer should be
“Have”, since it denotes more than a person. I am correct?
The same should be for the below sentence
My daughters_____two dogs. It should be “Have”, because daughters is plural.
Yes, your answers are both correct! Great work!
#1 would be more natural to ask “Do Julia and Sam have any money?”, but your answer is correct too!
very very useful
wow…. very helpful. want to learn more… :)
hello!!
is this correct?? i don’t have much time going to the meetings???
thanks
No. I don’t have much time because I have to go to meetings. Or, I don’t have much time in the meetings.
thank you ma’am
thanks ronnie all your lesson are so great!
Wow – this is the second time I’ve had a student ask me this question – where did you get this from??? It is very. very unnatural and I would NEVER say this. Grammatically, it looks alright but you need a comma. THE STRANGER WAS AFFABLE, WITH GOOD MANNERS and A KEEN WIT.
please explain me about has had, have had. I am not geting the exact meaning or proper interpretation of above grammatical words, when i read.
If subject is “he/she/it” = has had
If subject is “you/they/we/I” = have had
The grammar point is present perfect!
I love this website so much becoz i learned a lot..and it help me so much.thak you teacher,,;)
I would choose A but you should ask your teacher or who ever gave you this question!
Yeey! i got 100.. thank you so much teacher Ronie.
Very Nice , I get 5 Correct out of 5
realy help ful GOD BLESS YOU . :)
hi Ronie,
I like your teaching style. I hope i will improve my English very soon. Thanks…
yeah thanks a lot madam. however, can you please describe with the more practicing video live.
hi Ronnie can I say I had not homework yesterday
Yes, you can say that but it is more natural to say “I didn’t have homework yesterday!”
hi again, you didn’t mention “it” and “you” in the explanation- how do we reffer to them?
and i also didn’t understood why do we say “he doesn’t have” and not “he doesn’t has”
and just like it- in the past why don’t we say “he didn’t had”
thank you a lot!!
It + has.
You + have.
We change the auxiliary verb DO to DOES with he/she/it, so we do not need to change the next verb. In the sentence “He doesn’t have”, only the DOES reflects the subject!
thanks ronnie I got 5/5
Dear Madam, could you please teach me that how to use in perfect tense and may have and might have
i have sent a letter yesterday
i sent a letter yesterday….which are the correct answer
I sent a letter yesterday is better because we don’t use a time marker when we use present perfect!
Hello.. can you tell me when to use had? e.g : he had gone or he have gone? And is this cambridge english?
He had gone = past perfect.
He have gone = WRONG. He has gone= RIGHT! Present perfect!
hello can u tell us what show us?
wonderful and very useful. thanks.
hi, Ronnie, i am one of your fans here. i love your teaching style. i wish you will add another topic how to stop stutter or mubble words cause i have this kind of problem.
Thanks! A lot of people mumble! Just try to slow down and say the words slower! Most people do it because they are nervous! Just take your time and try to speak slower!
Thank you, can you, give us class of
Plural form of other, another and others
Thank you I like your metode
HI, thanks for the lesson, i needed help in how to use have and has in a paragraph. for eg: Preserving food by drying, fermenting, salting and smoking ….. been in practice for several centuries. would you use has or have? just want to know what the rule is in such situation?
Thanks in advance
Has because food is uncountable!
Hi
I excited very much while I watched this video lesson. I afraid you are arrested by police. Finally everything is good. You saved yourself again ;)
Thanks you. So just to make sure my understanding is correct, we would use have whenever it is plural or 1st person or 2nd person, and we use has whenever it is singular or if it is uncountable? please clarify this.
I/you/they(including plural nouns)/we = have
He/she/it(including singular and uncountable nouns)= has.
thanks for helping me in the lesson has,have,had
hi.. thank you for helped me to show the different between have and does have….
Hello. I think the last quiz has 2 answers.. “I____ two eyes”. Why “have” is correct,but “had” is false??
If you say “I had two eyes” it means you had two eyes in the past, but don’t any more. So it might be correct if you happen to have lost an eye in an accident or something…
Had means you lost an eye!
Hi Ronnie how are you? thanks for all lessons!….today’s lesson was great thank you so much!….i like the way you teach! ….i have a question: if you can do a lesson about the phasal verbs?..bless you!
Have you seen our other lessons on phrasal verbs?
Thank you..
Do you have a online class ?
This is the online class!
Hi!ok so in order to make it clear enough or the bottom line is instead had not which is negative I can use didn’t have and aside from that “has” is also for had? is it? what about if that is singular for instance: she didn’t have or she didn’t has which is correct? thanks much!!!
She didn’t have.
He hadn’t eaten breakfast. Is this correct in American english or is it, he didn’t eaten breakfast. which one is correct? I need to know the answer its urgent please !!!
It should be “hadn’t eaten”.
Miss Ronnie you have use people for example(singular people).Is it correct or sigular person(not singular people)is correct.
Thanks Ronnie,
This video is very useful…Cheers
Quick question Ronnie: Am I right saying the following? “I have had eaten my breakfast before going to the office last Monday.” Thanks!
Almost – but you have to say….I had eaten my breakfast before going to the office last Monday.”
Past perfect = had + past participle. (you had 2 past participles)
Spot on Ronnie. Thank you! I’m really confuse sometimes if I want to say past and future perfect tense. I will find if you have such lesson here. Thanks once again. Cheers
nimal saman and isuru have or has
Thank you very much,I’ve always watched ur Engvideo.:) From Philippines
Hello is me again.. i have questions to ask ..
Is ‘my wallet is stolen’ or ‘my wallet had been stolen’ or ‘my wallet was stolen’ ? what is the difference?
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate you effort:]
is = present tense. We wouldn’t use this to talk about this situation.
was = past tense. This is the most natural way to say this.
had been = past perfect. We would only use this to tell a story where 2 actions occurred. EX. I was going to buy some fruit but then I realized that my wallet had been stolen.
please we need to konw about
HAD HAD
EX: If I had had more money ……..
Thanxxxxx
There is a video coming very soon for that! It is past perfect!
Here is a link to a written grammar page!
http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/pastperfect.html
Its really a very good video…
please just send to me the new video
when will be finished

Hi Ronnie,
How come, you didn’t talk about the
pronoun IT.I beleive we can say,it(the table) has four legs.Also we can say: I haven’t, I hadn’t,he/she/it hasn’t.
Would you pleas correct me!
I am afraid of it.
It = has/hasn’t…you are correct!

thanks i take u r lesson ….it was so nice ….
plz help me to understand basic english grammer
Good job Ronnie. Your tutorial makes a difference because you taught changes with the modern English
I had a good lesson :)
One thing I would like to share with you is to make sure I am on the right track:-
Has-used for singular nouns (He, She and It)
Have-used for plural nouns (I, We, They and You)
HAD is the past tense of HAVE
and,
if negative HAD then, all sentences will be didn’t have (irrespective of singular and plural nouns)
If I am right, then I think I making a good move towards learning English.
Comments are appreciated.
Thnx :)
Confusion:-
Found statements that says- I have had my dinner??
Please explain this situation.
mam kindly illustrate this sentence little bit confusing to me “I had had a dog”
Its really nice madam. you are doing a great service for non-native speakers like us.God would bless you always.

thank you so much for answering me.
Hi teacher Ronnie,
i’m from malaysia, chinese people.
i’m still don’t know how to use /HAD/HAS/HAVE/ which one is past tense ?
present?
Had = past.
Have/has = present.
Thank for your reply ^——^
1] He and She must to use Has/does?it never change?
2] When we must to use Had? please give some example.
1) he/she/it use has and does – yes, this never changes in the present tense!
2) Had = past tense. She/he/you/I/they/we + had some apples.
I had a cold but now it is gone.
Watch the video again and YOU give ME examples.
I HAD finished my homework yesterday.

Hi Ronnie, how are you going ?
What can you about me ? Well, I can understand writing and even listen you teaching on video. However,I cannot write well! What should I do? I’m from Brazil and I love your teaching.Of course which this writing has a lot of errors, but it was what I could do without use the translator. Thanks.
To practice writing, you should write a short diary entry daily. OR just try to write without a translator and see how you do! Translators make us lazy. You are fortunate because a lot of the vocabulary is similar in Portuguese and English!
And Ronnie, ohh look me here again….
I’ve a question. Should I use;
I hadn’t or I didn’t have ?
Ex: I’d not a car. I did not have a car.
And sorry me, but I’ve another question ? May I ask ? oh, in fact, I just ask a question.
What should I use ?
I don’t have or I haven’t ?
Ex; I don’t have a book.
I haven’t a book.
Thanks !!!
“Didn’t have” is what I would say, but “hadn’t is also 100% correct. I think hadn’t is old British English. If you are speaking to an old British person, they might say “hadn’t”. Most people use didn’t have!
Again, I would say ” I don’t have a book”. I haven’t a book is old English!
What ´s the difference betweeen :
Did you tell.. or
Have you told..
When we use did and when have!!
Did you tell = simple past. We use this with a time marker. Ex. Did you tell him yesterday.
Have you told = present perfect. We use this without a definite time marker. Ex. Have you told him. (We don’t know when)!
Do I say, for example : ” Why does everything (have) to be about you? ” or do I say : ” Why does everything (has) to be about you? ”
Your help would be greatly appreciated :)
have
Thank you RONNIE :)
Could you please explain why we used (have) ?? :) :) PLEASE
Hey Ronnie! Filipino here! I forgot this, while I’m in vacation… Now, I’m writing a story. And I have a lot of questions to my mom if my grammar is right, but she’s always irritated. So I searched in youtube about this lesson. So thank you for sharing your knowledge to us…
tank you teacher ronnie you are really a good teacher,has,had and have are very useful,I would like to ask you were I should use have been .
hi ronnie… do you already have a video of how and when to use “SOMEBODY, SOMEONE, EVERYBODY, EVERYONE”?if you don’t, can you please make one for me? coz i find it very difficult… (is my grammar right?) oh ronnie, please help me….
hii ronnie. i want to know that. how to make this sentance. mai bick banwa rha hu.cousitive verbs ques.please send me
????? I have no idea what you mean.
hey ronnie how r you? i have an other question for u.my question is that in thz video u taught us that if we want to make negative sentence so we write like this she doesn’t has or they don’t have but i learned in negative sentence we use hasn’t nd write like she hasn’t eaten mango or i haven’t eaten mango so would u pls explain???
In the past tense we say did/didn’t, present tense does/doesn’t. You can use hasn’t/haven’t but it is very old fashioned- we don’t use them now (but they are correct).
However, if you use present perfect as you did in your example “hasn’t eaten mango or i haven’t eaten mango”, you MUST use have/has + p.p.
You have written 2 different grammar tenses – that is why you are confused!
Sorry,where is SUBJECT “YOU” ?
thank you so much! nd it means that we do not use has/hasn’t and have/haven’t now… nd if we want to use it we have to write p.p with them right….
You make it easy for everyone to understand.tnx
very nice, My Miss Ronni , keep the tune up in the same momentum.
we need your more lesson to become a good English speaker.

Hello madam,
what’s the difference between have,has,had in perfect tense and as means of possession.I am so confused about this usage.
Have/has + p.p is present perfect.
Had + p.p is past perfect.
Have/has + base verb is to show possession in the present tense.
Had + base verb is the past tense to show possession!

Hello,
Thank you for your great lessons. What confusing me now the difference in meaning between
ex. He doesn’t have and
He hasn’t
Hi Mam
What it is the deference for the following words
I have no
I don’t have
He has no
He doesn’t have
It has no
It doesn’t have
I really want to know the difference.
I am awaiting for your reply
Have/has no/not and do/does not are the same!!!
The only thing is that we usually use do/does not! Have/has no/not is old school English! To speak more naturally, use do/does not!
Thank you Ronnie
Nice Lesson
thanks
ms ronnie…you’re very accomodating and have a long long patient… more power to you!
It was very nice lesson. Thank you Ronnie.
