Rebecca thank you so much for your lessons; since I discovered you on engvid my English has improved sufficiently. God bless you!!
Thanks for another great lesson, Rachel!
Ops, I mean Rebecca!! Lol
Thanks, Gabriel. All the best to you.
Hi. Great lesson. Thank you.
I got 100% THANK REBECCA YOUR VID WAS GREAT
Hello my dear teacher!It was a very useful lesson. I hope you read my comment because I have an important question.
I have a huge problem with some Words as like: every body, every thing, nobody, nothing, somebody, something. I actually mean that I get confused and I do not know that the verbs after them must be in plural form or singular.
For example: Every body knows this subject or Every body know this subject.
Nobody lends you a pen or Nobody lend you a pen?
Thank you very much my pleasure teacher.
Thanks for your kind words and very good question, Mehdi. You will find the answer in Alex’s lesson:

This older lesson of mine may also help you:

Hallo Rebecca,
nice lesson as all the others of you.
I´m often thinking, if present perfect is a present or past tense. It is the tense, that includes the past as well as and the presence. Therefore it is a little tricky.
Than
Yes, the present perfect includes the past and the present. For example:
I have lived in this city for 10 years.
In this example, you lived there in the past and you live there in the present. So it includes both.
Similarly,
I have lost my pen.
This means you lost your pen in the past and it is still lost.
.
Hope this helps! All the best to you, adrijana. How wonderful that you speak so many languages!
It’s always a pleasure to learn English with you. You always explain very well! Thank you very much Rebecca! You’re amazing!
Thank you kindly, Marylou. Always a pleasure with wonderful, motivated, and appreciative viewers like you. My best wishes to you.
It was completely understanding and very useful lesson. I’ve got 100%. Many thanks Rebecca.
Congratulations, Sergey! You seem like a very determined person. I am sure you will achieve your goals. All the best to you.
Thank you so much! It helps us a lot!
Very good explenated,thank you so much Rebecca
Very good, Rebecca. It’s great to learn English with you. Thank you so much.
thank you very much rebecca for your useful lesson .my best salutation from morrocco
A great lesson thanks. I scored 10. I just want to say something about the fourth sentence. I’m just a learner but isn’t it a past simple? Not present perfect? Thanks again Rebecca you’re a great teacher. ❤️
Hello! It’s present perfect because the day is still going on. It’s not a finished time in the past. It would be past simple if, for example, the question was: “Did you see Sybil yesterday?” I hope that answers you question!
“I hope that answers your question!”
Thank you so much. That’s kind of you to reply to me. ❤️
Anytime!
Thank you so much I got all of them correctly
Thanks a lot

Very well lessons and quiz test. Great job!
So you´ve been teaching for more than twenty-five years, teacher Rebecca. I´m surprised. You´re an inspiration. As you said, time is precious. We´d better not waste it. Someday I´ll meet you all, teachers from engVid, whose lessons have helped me so much. And as much obsessed as I am with Canadian culture, I might even end up settling down around there somehow. Thanks for the great lesson. Have a good day.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and wishes, Emanoel. It means a lot. Please do write to us if you make it to Toronto. We would be happy to meet you too. In the meantime, enjoy your days, your books, your music, and the energy of your home country. It’s a special honour to hear from a fellow teacher like you. All the best, my friend.
Interesting lesson Rebecca, thank you very much!!
Very informative lesson for me. I really improved in this field as it has been my weak spot

Thanks so much for the compliments, Edynglish. Glad to know our lessons can help you achieve your goal of optimizing your English. I wish you all the best, my friend.
Thanks Rebeca I am lucky to find your website. I hope My English will improve
I love English, but it’s DAMN tenses … P.S., P.P., P.P.C and so on … I hate it.
Aww….I understand,Vladkabatkovich. Whenever anything is too hard, try going back a few steps and review the stage where you start facing problems. Take your time and master each step. You can do it. All the best to you.
Hi Rebecca ! I’m sorry for my previous coment. ( And thank you very much for the advice, I really appriciate it. As always you are The Best !!!! Best Wishes, your student/little brother Vladislav. )

Thank you so much.
Thank you Rebecca for useful lesson! It’s good opportunity to revise and remember tenses grammar!
Thanks, astapik. So glad you found the lesson helpful. The tenses are so important! I wish you all the best.
It has been a very great lesson about the past and present tenses, a very useful review, check, revise or reread but what about the future, I think the future maybe a little more complicated, anyway we can follow to study verb tenses and give our opinion why we use them in our sentences. Thanks a lot, teacher Rebecca, your aid and comprehension are very important to us, you understand our mistakes and you revise them very carefully, it is a great detail from you.
that’nice
Thanks
Thanks Rebecca. Great lesson. I need review the past perfect.
Thank you so much Rebecca. You did clarified very important mistakes that I had.
So glad the lesson was able to help you identify your problem areas. The first step to solving our problems is to understand we have them! I wish you all the best, isakibrahim8315. So wonderful that you take the initiative to improve when you’re in high school. Looks like you have a bright future ahead.
thank you very much Rebecca
Thank you so much Rebecca.
Hi Sibel :)
Thaks You, the lesson is excellent.
Good lesson..thanks teacher
I correct 7 out of 10.
Sorry Rebecca but about at 11:35 did not you say: “understanding”? I must assume that the -ing form is allowed in other contests?
Yes, you’ll get better at understanding this subject, you’ll get better at solving this problem, you’ll get better at speaking English…
This form is correct and can certainly be used. I wish you all the best, marcoroma.
thank you that was so useful
thank you very much
My question is how to know whech words take (s) while using it in present and past?
Looking for good explanations!
thank you
nice being so resoursefu;
thank you so much!
This is the further proof that you are the best regarding explanation because your way of explaining
is much understandable. bye Domenic from Rome italy
Thanks again, Domenic. Glad to know you found the lesson helpful. Take care!

Great lesson
Thanks Rebecca >> I have got 9 out of 10
Thank you Rebecca.It’s a good lesson.
Thank you very Much Ma’am.
Thank you Rebecca 8/10
I got my results for a test and got 100%
Thank you very Much Ma’am.
It´s a doubt at the movie she said:
“The verb to understand can´t be used in the continuous form.”
But at 11:30 she says:”You are your own teacher, so as you get better at understanding”
Is it wrong The form she did say at 11:30?
It is correct to use the word understanding in this way. Please see my reply to marcoroma above.
What you cannot say is:
I am understanding you.
He is understanding me.
In those cases, you should say:
I understand you.
He understands me.
Hope this helps. All the best to you, Fabio.
in this case understanding is a noun, not a verb
I got 6 of 10 :( I need to study more, it was so complicated for me but that’s the reason that i been studying here, thanks Rebeca.

Thanks,very good lesson
Thanks, Rebecca.
By the way, I would like to ask a question.
‘The survey is about the customer satisfaction on food and services’ is this sentence correct? After ‘satisfaction’ we should use what preposition? on? with? of?
A better sentence would be:
The survey is about customer satisfaction with food and services.
All the best to you, Sophie.
thanks
thanks Rebecca
A big thank you!
GREAT, THANKS A LOT!!!
Thanks a lot! :)
Finally I got it. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for those precious words that every teacher loves to hear: “Finally, I got it!”
You made my day,Thomas! I wish you all the best.
Is number 4 really an example of Present Perfect Tense like teacher write in red letters?
As I explained in the lesson, number 4 is about both present perfect and past simple. So really, you need to review both those tenses if you made a mistake there. Hope that helps to clarify the issue. All the best to you, kweros.
7. __________ your cellphone?
Did you found
Have you found (correct).
Hi :)
Can anybody explain why “Did you found your cellphone?” is wrong?
Thanks.
It would be correct if it was: Did you found your cellphone yesterday? We use present perfect when something happened recently and there is not any particularly time.
Quick correction: “Did you find your cellphone yesterday?”
Thank you too engVid Moderator :)
That helps a lot Yulia. Thank you very much :)
I made one mistake. so very good
I had this problem to choose when to use present perfect and when to use past simple
thank you teacher :D
Very interesting and very usefull…thankyou…

Thank you Rebecca for the good lesson and also for the quiz. My 2 answers were wrong. Those 2 questions were of same type. From those 2 wrong answers I have learn “If you refer to a finished time in the past, use the past simple tense and not the present perfect tense.”. Thank you for the explanation in the quiz result. I have a question regarding this type of question. Is the sentence “I have finished my lunch just now”. correct?
I have another question regarding your video. Will it be correct if I say “It was raining all day yesterday.” for first example “It rains all day yesterday.”.
Thaks Rebecca! I got 9 from 10 :)

Why is it so hard to get an A?
I am not happy until I get an A!
Good lesson Rebecca. This was my first time watching your videos and I loved it. I have already subscribed to your channel. I really have difficulties to understand the present perfect. Could you help me to understand when I should use this tense? And also, about past perfect, can we use to express only one action that finished in the past right? Thank you for the lesson.
grate lesson and best way of expression Rebecca thank you.
Thanks, very useful lesson!
Especially thank you for simply words that we were using in the lesson.
Unfortunately I often do mistake in English tenses.
Thanks
please help me with this sentence: she told him that she had had the best time that she’d ever had.
Thank you, Rebecca!
THANK YOU .I got 10 but this doesn’t mean I’m good in English language.
Brilliant lesson! Thanks
Thanks for the lesson, I answered 8 questions correctly !
Thank you for your useful vido i will wait your reply and could i contact you on your facebook ?
“It rains all day yesterday”
why we used this verb “s” it must be “was raining” not “rains” because it’s raining a long time.
Am I right?
thank you so much mam for this lesson…love from india #REBECCA_MAM
I didn’t know that it is/was as simple as that :)
Thank you very much.

9/10
thank you
hello my teacher, i can’t find the other lessons about different tenses, thank you
#7 was tricky to me, both answers can be used to my knowledge, but I forgot to focus on the continuity of the searching, which needs the present perfect to be used with it.
thank you and I know now how to use those 2 tenses perfectly.
10/10 thank you for this important lesson. You are a amazing teacher
Great lesson, thank you.

Hello rebecca mam, your lessons is very helpful in my commucation. So, I’m very thankful to you.
Great Lesson It was so helpful ,,
Hello, Rebeca!
Thank you for your interesting and amazing lesson.
You said, that in the first sentanse we should use only past simple “It rained all day yesterday”
Will it be correct, if I use past continuous?
For example
It was raining all day yesterday
Thanks Madam being a good and quality teacher.
thank you rebecca. i really apprciate the effort you doing for making us understand grammar well
my greeting to you.
Hi Dear Teacher,
Firstly thenk you so much these videos are realy perfect to undersatant between difference of tenses. I have question to need advice I’m not good in grammar therefore I need more detail video which contain all grammar rules. İs there any advice video as perfect as like your videos.
Hello
I’m having a bit of a hard time understanding the perfect continuous aspect and the difference betw past perfect continuous said to be used for short periods of time. As the present continuous is also used for long periods of time thus why we use verbs that last a long time.For example few months /years is not a short period while 3minutes 1hour is.Could you explain the diferences plz?
You got 10 correct out of 10
thank you so much
It’s my favorite lesson from today. All simple, useful information in one place. Thank you!
It was very useful to clarify the verb tenses.
Thank you so much Rebecca!
Yeah 10 correct out of 10, thank u for your lesson.. Have a good day :)
Not happy made two mistakes 8 out of 10. But just to tell you I had watched the video today on youtube and decided to subscribe in engvid, because these are my weakness tenses and prepositions. I am sure what I just wrote even have mistakes. :(
A nice lesson as always. I got 10/10

7. __________ your cellphone?
Did you found
Have you found
Thanks, Rebecca you are fantastic!
Thanks
Thank you for your interesting lesson
I made 10-10.Thank you Rebecca.I like your form of expression
I always have problems with past perfect and present perfect. Thank you for your help!
why( did you found your cellphone?) is incorrect?
Hello Yoshaa! The right question is “Have you found your cellphone (Present Perfect Tense)?
We use this tense to express actions that began in the past and somehow are still related with the present.
I hope it helps you! Bye for now!
I love your lessons, Rebecca! They are rather clarifying. That’s a nice review indeed. :-)
Awesome, how a simple way to explain lot of complex things in a 12 minutes video. Thanks for making my English learning amazing and quiker

Hi Rebecca. Shall I use “lately” with Past Simple or Present Perfect as it’s not specified time frame?
Thank you so much, Mrs. Rebecca. This video was great!
Present perfect and past perfect are hard for Portuguese speakers.
I got 9/10.

Thanks Teacher.
Thanks Teacher
Thanks a lot Rebecca!
Thank you so much for such useful lesson, but I have got confused about the first sentence in you example. I mean “It rains all day yesterday”. Why we should use Past Simple here and not Past Continuous? The rain it is a process and it needs time, especially when we see “ALL DAY”. I would say “It was raining all day yesterday”. Or maybe when i see the word “YESTERDAY” it is some kind of marker that in that case it must be ONLY Past Simple regardless any other circumstances? Thank you:).
I got 10/10. Thanks for explaining.
I GOT 10/10. Thanks
Great Teacher. I enjoyed a lot your class.

Dear Teacher Rebecca I have written before your method of teaching is very effective even if it is on line and there is no possibility for students to ask question about any case of your teaching ,but I am sure that each of us understand all the lessen you talk about . In this lesson in 2 cases I was in doubt which answer is correct after thinking keenly I wrote them correctly.Thank you so much of your precious teaching.

Your teaching is very good, I started learning yesterday and today I took a test I got 9 answers good over 10.

Why present perfect and why not past perfect continuous ?
Hello! “You said that the word ‘understand’ cannot be used with continuous tense, but at 11:32 minute you used the word ‘understanding’. How should I understand this?”
Thanks Rebecca
Very easy to understand
Thank you so much, you’re a wonderful professor!
