Hi James and everybody! James, thank you for another great lession! None of my teachers have mentioned any trigger word while explaining grammar rules. Next week :), I’ll try to revise all the tenses, following your scheme :).

I like your teaching method.
All teachers of “EngVid” doing good job.
Love you All umaa……..

majorkashif74

James you are really wonderful teacher.
it would be very useful if you can make video about how the tenses are shifting.
I mean that, to use different tenses in one sentence.

thanks

Hakim

Also using if condition will be fine.
thanks again.

Good luck hope this helps you,

    orlando

      the first answer just “go” because it’s a present tense.hope done..

      jumat

        Dear Jumat, the answer for the first (5) question is “going”. After like, you can not use go in that form. It must be going or to go. I hope that I could help.

        Roland

thank you teacher for this lesson is very useful .
teacher please, you can tell me wath’s the deifference between (I can’t take it and I can’t stand it )

soufianebr

    can’t take it
    معناها لا يمكن ان احصل علية
    I can’t stand it
    لا يمكن الوقوف علية (مع الحشمة)وشكرا

    abdel

I think i can help you.so here are the right answers
1)going

3)can’t
4)were you
5)tell
6)go
7)had
8)had already left

.Did you really not know how to solve them?

For learning english grammar there are many sources,we can learn through books & can learn through internet also.for making grammar perfect there is a need to be strong in fields like adjective,noun,preposition,adverb,pronoun,verb.

Hello James! I’m Florina from Romania. I’m interested in learning English and I started about two years ago, trying to learn alone. I can say it’s very hard to learn alone, so I see myself obliged to ask help. Now, I’m trying to undertand the deferences between present perfect simple and present perfect continuous with for and since. For exemple : ” I’ve been leaving in this town for many years/since I was a child”- and : “I’ve lived here for two years/since 2000”.
It’ true that we use simple present perfect with verbs that show a situation like: live, be, stay,k know ?
I’ll be grateful for your answer,
Florina.

flor1978

    Florina nu intaleg intrebarea ta . ,,lived ” nu e prezetnt e trecut .. ce ai vrut sa intrebi?

    steliansandor

Your videos are so great, i am learning very quick with them. Can you please do a video on prepositions. I always get confused with those. Such as do i say “In the bus” or “on the bus?” i wish i had you as my english teacher, even if its only for one year.

learningeachday

It’s really good , but still here a little of Complications , i just should listen to the lesson more then one time
thanks

vrozen99

I have a problem this day… the video stoop when you start teaching! I would to learn this lesson.. I will try again.. thanks

abdlhakim

narendra

arlette sanon

excusme teacher James could you tell me where are you from? oh thanks good lesson

engstudent

you are so amazing teacher i like to be your student

rRebwar

I don’t get it.

Efrain

I’ve been observing your previous lessons and they are all flipping nuts! This one is particularly awesome, but I’m wondering what words would you use in the trigger and definition parts for a past perfect progressive and future perfect tense. It would be great if you can reply my comment!
James I suggest that you prepare a lesson on CONDITIONALS, please make an overview including mix and exceptions. THNX

Tavo

I love your way of teaching. Would you please make presentations of how to teach other tenses? I’m looking forward to, bye :)

Monika

I understand the tense you trying to teach. what about the comparison between present,past and future tense with the same situation.

aminmacewan2011

very interesting, thank you

doe

Hi james nice lesson thanks for make english easier for us see us!!

bihifree

I know you are the one who’s better than all of the teachers teaching English, that’s why I tried to ask you. how can I download full video in a single click? or buy CDs? within Afghanistan it’s very difficult to find internet cafe and if you did, there is no enough bandwidth to download these clips.
I really appreciate your teaching style and your sister on white board.
please answer me one more thing, why there is police horn passing by on every session of this engvid? Sometimes it is exectly when the lession is near to end.
I wish I could be in your English classes live.
I realy like the style and confident you use to teach.
best regards,
Ahmad Wali

James, I do apologize my comments about your teaching method. I think it better to stick on short and sweet subject matter rather than to explain un necessary explanation. you always talking too much out of subject matter, if you explain to the point it will make quite easy to understand and with in the time frame you c

rabs

James,
My sggestion about your teaching method, always come to the fact, to the ponit no need to explain unnecessarly. you always talking out of subject and your examples doesn’t support to understand to the subject matter.It is better to stick on subject matter rather than to explain un necesarly because your long explanation makes quite puzzel to understand the main fact. so, It will better to go short and sweet to the points.
Thank you.

rabs

James,
your lessons are so helpful for me. Thanks a lot. When I’m listening to you I discover english again. It slowly becomes a passion. Thanks again.

Hi James. Great lesson. I am an ESL teacher in the San Francisco bay area. I was wondering, do you have a handout or a list of the ‘trigger’ words for all of the tenses? Or a recommended text that shows this? I like this method your demonstrating and want to use it. I’ll be teaching upper intermediate/advanced grammar this semester. Thanks!! Jane

janeelin123

An interesting grammar lesson but for my opinion a little quick because it’s difficult to assimilate all the tenses in several situations when you are speaking, that is the reason that we prefer to listen more than speaking in the majority of the chances that we learn in our lives, I believe so. Thanks a lot, teacher James Greer from EngVid, a great and funny lesson.

angardiobel

Hi, miss Valen and all my intelligent teachers please tell me about all types of NOUN! please. I am confused because “cow” is a noun. And if name given to that cow suppose “julie” that is also noun or not. Help me with these type of NOUN.

Dharmendra Prasad

GuyZ I Have A Question.. I was in school. i used to learn that we have 3 tenses . present past or future. but now adays recently i Have joined a new language center and they taught me that we have 2 tenses not 3 .. present and past is a tense but future is not a tense.. because tenses talks about surity and confirmed time. and future is not decided. we dont know what will happen in future. and future talks about prediction. and if we talk about will . so its also a model verb. and model verbs talks about chances or possibilty thats why future can not be a tense. john,s wood sydney green and oxford edition 8 or some of more books also have mensioned that .. so guyzz im getting confuse in this. plzz guyz remove my this confusion..
because these are the most famous and acceptable books in english grammer
