    pawan

Thanks allot Madam it was really a great lesson and useful for me ..

Bella

thank yuo

ana pacasi

Thank you Rebecca.I am glad to learn English grammar. I liked the way of your teaching. keep up good works. I have question related to this tense. What is the difference between “have married” and “have been married”? Thank you again. Ta ta.

mehari

    Thanks. When you say, “He has married Mary.” it means that the event took place relatively recently and you are informing me who he married or that they married. When you say “He has been married for seven years.’ or “He has been married very happily to Mary for seven years.”, you are making some kind of observation about their marriage, their married life, over the length of time that they have been married. The second ones emphasizes the length of the marriage, the first one emphasizes the recent nature of the event.

    Hope that helps. All the best with your English!

    Rebecca

      mehari I am sorry because I worte here but I did that because I want Rebeca to see my comment….
      thnx so much rebeca…
      I have a question please..
      I noticed while I’m reading a story that the tense was used is past simple and than is ok because it’s about somthing that happened in the past and finished,but the another tense that is used is the past perfect and i don’t know why?????
      I hope u anderstand my question…
      thnxx so much

    Sometimes we like to stay in our comfort zone and keep doing what we are good at. it takes courage to move beyond and tackle our areas of weakness. Good for you that you know what you need to improve. I am happy to help, Raul. All the best.

Dear Rebeca your explanation was clear as bel !Thank you very much ! ps: if possible I ‘d like to have a explanation from you in how to use correctly someone, somebody, nobody, anybody, no one , anyone they seem to be the same meaning I really am in doubt about it please help me I beg.

ricardo alessandro

    Sorry ! Correcting myself : bell and an Explanation . any one mistake please correct me pçease.

    ricardo alessandro

    Actually, I took your advice and recorded a lesson on that subject for you and for all our other viewers. You should see it soon. Thanks for the suggestion, Ricardo.

    Corrections: clear as a bell, an explanation on how to use ….correctly.

    In the meantime, please refer to a good grammar book such as Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy, for an idea of how to use these words. All the best, Ricardo.

    Rebecca

Thank you

afrang.hossein

Hello Mrs.Rebeca. you look great as ever .i’m just passing by to say hello. and i also have the same problem as Ricardo’s.
I’ve really enjoyed this lesson and i would like to say thank you once again for making it easier for us all to understand the difference between them.
cheers.

mitsurugi

    Thanks for your kind feedback. I wish you all the best in the future.

    Rebecca

Hello Rebecca
Do you offer any gramer or writting classes online.
thanks

Borhot

    Not at the moment. Thanks for asking, Borhot. My best wishes to you.

    Rebecca

thanks

Rainie

Great lession

Jana

dear mrs rebecca,thanks a lot ur lesson.but here i still confuse with the word “been”. i means i donno when i should use this word.mybe mrs rebecca can give me a hand to it..

gg

    Been is the past participle of the verb to be. We use it in the perfect tenses. For example:

    I have been to Europe many times.
    (Present Perfect)
    I have been feeling unwell all day.
    (Present Perfect Continuous)

    All the best to you.

    Rebecca

Thanks Rebbeca for good english grammar lesson.

Jack

realy usefull
thank you

jeyaranjan nagamuthu

Could you please explain the difference between “Therefore”, “Hence” and “Thus”?
I asked a few people around about that but didn’t get right answer.

william

    All three words you have asked about have the same basic meaning and are used in more or less the same way to show the effect of something. “Therefore” is used most often. The other two are slightly more formal and academic.

    Examples:

    I did not get high marks in the TOEFL exam. Therefore, I cannot join university this year.

    In the example above, you could use “hence” or “thus” as well, but “hence would sound more formal, and “thus” you might see more in academic writing, rather than in conversation.

    Hope that helps you! All the best, William.

    Rebecca

excellent

Zahidmmp

thank you

mohammed

Hi, i got 100% score in this test. Thank you so much.

Rebecca

hello teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got 8 out of 8…….. Rebecca teach us since 2008… Rebecca teach us for 2 years…. :):):):):):):):):):)

HAMID

    Hey, good example, Hamid, with a small correction.

    Rebecca has taught us since 2008.
    She has taught us for two years.

    All the best, Hamid!

    Rebecca

learn lesson and give examples……. i think its a good way to improve ourselfs….

HAMID

please take a lesson about difference about home and house

mohana

    Thanks for the idea.

    In short, a house is an objective word to describe the physical place where you live.

    The word “home” is more of a subjective word to describe the place where you live, which you consider special and meaningful, which may be where your family lives, or where you share a lot of love and good times. This place is a home, and more than just a house.

    My best to you, Mohana.

    Rebecca

      house miens the building only; may be my home or not. But a home is a place where I live. every home is a house, but not every house is a home.

      Aamer Ghaleb

ur lessons are good mam.
please correct the following sentence
malathi says”iam the best of myself”.is this sentence a correct one

mohana

    Technically, it is correct. It does sound quite philosophical though. I’m not sure if that is the intention.

    All the best to you, Mohana.

    Rebecca

thank you very much,,,when i know this lessons,,i think it’s the great chance,,to improve my speaking English and i hope,you always give me a new knowledge,,you’re my best teacher…

edy cahyanto

I get it. Thank you so much for your explanation I have been seeking for long.

william

kindly please give a reply to my questions mam

mohana

Thank you Teacher!

Jasmine

when should i use since in the middle ,,,for example /has since bought
thanks for your answers

petro

    “She has since left the company.”

    This means she has left the company since the time you are talking about.

    A rare use of the word since, but possible.

    My best to you, Petro.

    Rebecca

Hi mam.. I’d been watching engvid.com vidoes for about two weeks. i found it interesting because i’ve learned a lot particularly in using the words you been tackling. for me, you have an excellent strategy of teaching. thus, the viewrs can easily undertand. thank you very much. I wish all the good thing to you and to your coteachers. i would be greateful if you would correct my comments. again, thanks a lot.

joel

    “I’ve been watching engvid.com videos for about two weeks. I found it interesting because I’ve learned a lot, particularly in using the words you have been tackling for me. You have an excellent teaching strategy. Thus, the viewers can easily understand. Thank you very much. I wish all good things and to you and your co-teachers. I would be grateful if you would correct my comments. Again, thanks a lot.”

    Hope that helps,Joel. My best wishes to you.

    Rebecca

Hi,
thxs for the good job.why can you say “the sun has been shining since last week?`´
last week is a duration of time and not a point in time.
thxs

zuzu

    I think the sentece is correct.”the sun has been shining since last week.”

    You can use “for” in this form.” the sun has been shining for two weeks.”

    The word “last” in your sentence is a definite point in time.. i’m not really sure in my analizes, i’m hoping, our teacher rebecca could help us.

    joel

      sorry… my speeling of is wrong (analizes)=analysis

      joel

      In answer to your question, Zuzu, even if you say “since last week”, you still mean from a certain point when last week began, right? That is why you can say since last week.

      You could also say, “The sun has been shining for two weeks.’ as Joel rightly suggested.

      Thanks for the question, Zuzu and thanks for your help, Joel. My best to both of you.

      Rebecca

RebeccaES ur teaching style is wonderful i like u very much God bless U bye

AYAZ

Hi I just coplet the quize and I got them all write thank you soo much for the good lesson.

khat

    I’m very glad you got them all RIGHT!
    My best to you, Khat.

    Rebecca

Dear Rebecca,
Thank you so much. You are a good teacher and very kind to all of us who want to learn English.Can you please give me an idea how to use the words “either and neither”. Sorry for the inconvenience. God bless you.

RSagum

    You could say:

    I can have either tea or coffee. It doesn’t matter.

    I’d like neither tea nor coffee. I’ll just have a glass of water, please.

    “Either…or” is used when you are talking about two positive choices.

    “Neither…nor” is used to indicate two negative choices. It is used to say, not this and not that.

    Hope this helps, RSagum. My best to you.

    Rebecca

Thank You so much this lesson is very useful for me. i would like to improve my english.

dah

hi Rebecca,
i’m sandeep and belong to india.well nice to meet you on this incredible side. it’s realy intresting to learn from your videos .i would like to know two quiz ..what’s the distiguish between associated and belong besides occured and happend.could you tell me clearly .i’m very thankful to you .!!!!

sandeep

    Namaste, Sandeep.

    “Occurred” and “happened” mean the same thing, though the word “occurred” is slightly more formal and the word “happened” is more commonly used for everyday events, good or bad.

    In conversation, for example, if your friend looks sad, you might ask him, “Hey, what happened?”

    If you are associated with someone or something, it means you have a connection of some kind with them.

    if you belong to something, you are a member of a group or community or club.

    Example: I belong to that country club.

    So you cannot actually say that you belong to India, but you could simply say that you are from India.

    All the best to you, Sandeep.

    Rebecca

i just wanna say “YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER”

    ankurlove2008

Hello, Rebecca! Thank you for your lessons. I have a question: Can we use Past indefinite with “since” and “for” when it’s not related to the present anymore. For example: He lived in Canada (sometime) but he doesn’t live there anymore… Can we say “He lived in Canada for 5 years but then he moved away.”?
The second question: What’s the difference if I say “I’ve lived in Paris for 7 years” or “I’ve been living in Paris for 7 years”
Thank you very much

Thanks Rebecca, I have been listening your lecture for few days. I like your approach of teaching. I am from Bangladesh. I would like to improve my English. Since English is not our native language- so, it is very difficult to us to listen your lecture if you speak quickly. But your accent is clear and slowly what is very beneficial for us. I understand all of your words. Thanks, please keep it up. Please suggest me how can I improve my English.

Hi Rebecca
Can I use “since” and “for” with Present Perfect Continuous, maybe this isn’t very important but will help me to “feel” better “english spirit”.
Thank you

gabrielu

    sure you can.For example:
    I have been waiting for the bus for two hours
    OR The baby has been sleeping since 10 o’clock.

I realy understand the propositions like for and since thank my teacher

ali

You are a fabulous teacher. You’re methods are extremely clear. This site has really helped me with planning microteaching for interviews. Thank you so much.

Lesley

hi Rebecca ,
can u tell me is this sentence correct or not,here is the sentence.!There are some people in the world who doesn’t take care about their relationships ?? or i should use don’t instead of doesn’t please help me i’ll be very glad to know :)

susan

    Hi there Susan, may I answer your question? You should use “don’t” which is a plural verb because you used people (plural subject)and also you should use “of their relationships” instead of “about their relationships”

    or you can reconstruct your sentence this way:
    “There are some people in the world who don’t
    value relationships.”

    Alfred

Hello Ms. Rebecca! I’m currently studying for the IELTS exam, and I find all of your tutorial videos very informative, thank you so much for the lessons. More power to you and the rest of the teachers, and may God bless you all.

Nice Website! Please anyone can tell me how to do a quiz in this site.

thanks rebecca,good lesson.

Rebecca, this is really the most useful lesson of all lessons, at least for me. I would just like to ask you why do we say, for example, John has moved to Canada since 2005, and in other example we say John has been married since 2008. My question is why don’t we say John has married since 2008? And else why we say John has been a student for 10 years, that means he is still student or? Please, respond me and clarify this confusion.

Hello, teacher Robecca,

What’s the difference between ‘for’ and ‘since’ when they both mean ‘because’?

pengcheng

I have been listening your lessons for one year and want to thanks you for that. I have been learning English almost 5 years but still have problems of speaking and writing. I do it myself and try to inprove my English. Your lessons help me to understand many confusing moments in English,for example:Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous.These tenses have some general feature which I can not grasp…

Rahila

Hello Mam,
First of all thank for this great website and being a excellent resource for self learners.
My doubt is with reference using “ing with verb” with since or for.
Example – currently I am running a business. If I want to say to my client that I am running this biz from so an so….
Can I say “I have been running this business since 3 years.” Or “I have been ran this business since 3 years.”

Thank you for your support

Neharika 15

    If I’m not mistaken…First sentence it’s Present Perfect ,the second sentence it’s Present Perfect Continuous.
    Perfect – indicates actions which ended to a specific point or occurring before other actions in the present, past or future time.
    Perfect Continuous – indicates actions that began and lasted for some time until a certain point in the present, past or future time.

Madame! In the 5th question of this quiz there is written: “Mr and Mrs Johnson” with no points (periods) after “Mr” and “Mrs”. Is it correct (ok) or it is mistake? In other words do we have to spell points after “Mr”, “Mrs” etc. every time? Thank you a lot for paying attention to my question.

Sergiy D

    In British English, there’s no period. In North American English, there is. I’m not sure about how other countries do it…

I got perfect score. I like the way you explained in this video. Also for those videos that I’ve watched. Thanks a lot for your dedication to teach us.
I have one question. I often find sentences used present perfect tense that didn’t mention time. Ex.” I have been studying in the university.”. Is this correct? I just presuming that it is

Jevan

Sorry, my message was incomplete.
I’m just presuming that it is obvious, and the listener will understand that you are studying until now, without minding when did you start to enter into University.
I would be greetful if you could reply. Again, thank you very much.

berkal kaci

I have been studying English at EngVid since March, 2022 and now we are in Jun, 2022. I have planned on watching almost each video here in beginner level at first in order to evolve my listening skills as I focused on just reading and spelling in the past.
I’d start focusing on speaking skills at the end of 2022.

I’m writing this as a way to find a fruitful language partnership to enhance my speaking skills in the future as it’s possible that someone would like to read this in the coming months from now.
My priority is an academic and formal English as I need English to develop myself scientifically and in career aspect at first.

Kindly feel free to talk to me whenever you read this and whatever a reason might be, I’m excitedly interested in exchanging knowledge and experience.
You’ll know how to reach me once you click on my picture here besides this comment.

I have started to number videos I watch here, and this is the sixteenth one. Hopefully I can reach more than 1000 as soon as possible.

Hosam.saadeh99

    Hi Hosam!

    We appreciate your comments, but this is an opportunity to practice writing new things in English! Please don’t just copy and paste the same thing every time — the system will mark your comments as spam.

    engVid Moderator

      Hello wonderful EngVid moderator, It’s generous of you to make me notice that, thank you. I think what you mean is being more innovative in writing, not just practice writing. However, I’ll do so. More importantly, I have to understand the system in terms of that. Every comment I put has one different word which is the number video I reach. For instance, this one was sixteenth, the previous one has the word fifteenth, and so on.

      Does the system mark my comments as spam even if there one different word?

      By the way, I have a suggestion for EngVid teachers. Digital transformation in education sector isn’t just about using internet and computers these days, it’s possible and fruitful to try to utilize Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and Virtual Reality content for learning. I think there are great areas to think about in terms of education in the fourth revolution.
      Hopefully, you all are well, full of happiness and full of energy to stay from the best in the education and teaching globally.

      EngVid really makes the world better and happier.

      Hosam.saadeh99

        You really do have to write something new every time (unless it’s something simple like “Thanks”) – you can’t just copy and paste the same comment and change one word.

        Thank you for your suggestion!

        engVid Moderator

Thank you for this wonderful website. It was very helpful to those person who still studying on how to correct their grammar in English. I know I’m not yet good in English so far but I believe that this website can help me to improve my grammar. Again, thank you so much😊.
