Rebecca

Hello, have you ever considered make the lists with numbers and also with the date?. It is hard to follow a guide with to many lessons, I don’t know which is new or old. Maybe you can do groups of topics. Regards Ginger from CR.

GINGER BARBOZA

On engvid, you will find lessons grouped by category and on my youtube channel, you will find playlists of various subject areas, including the verb tenses in order. All the best to you, Ginger.

Rebecca

This is one of the best lessons I have ever attended
Thank you so much

Hi, I just want to say that think is a stative verb as it describes a mental state so we cannot use it with continuous tenses. Yet, we also say I was thinking.

fouzia21

Hi everyone,
as always extremely useful lesson. I still wait for these lesson about advanced future tenses.
Before i watched the video I had taken the quiz and I got 8/9. I made a little mistake in the last question. I had always thought a gerund of “participate” contains with double 2 before I saw the answers. Thanks to you I know I was wrong.
Please, correct me if I used “Past Perfect” in my sentences incorrectly.

I wish all the best for everyone who reads that comment.

I had a better understanding on spelling changes. When we change -ie to -y. I watched the other lessons in which this is explained as well, but in this time, in exactly this point, it was more clear.
Thank you Mrs Rebecca.

Somebody please help me.
In question 9 , how could we be sure that they(her parents) aren’t saving money for her anymore ?

J.Motallebi

Please see my answer to Janio below. All the best to you.

Rebecca

Thank you!

Mvpina

I enjoy a lot every class with teacher Rebecca. She explains in carefull and clear way. My respects to her.

Mary-Kv

I’m unable to get a hang of ‘had’ word while communicating. When I’m able to speak same sentence by using past simple or present prefect, I really don’t understand the use of this tense.

Little Nagyal

I really admire your laughing,pls keep it forever and all the best with your job.

justkml

Thank you Rebecca for a very useful lesson! I got 10 correct out of 10. You explain everything in such a clear way. It’s so obvious you do what you love. Keep on and all the best!

Roen

Thank you kindly, Roen! I do love what I do! How did you know??? Haha! I wish you much success going forward.

Rebecca

Thank you so much!!!!

stnog3

Thank you :)

Manal sweety

I love Rebbeca, because her my english getting better.

Emma Rose 30

Good class. But in the question 9, it´s not possible to know if they had been stopping save money. Could you explain it?

janio

The first is the only correct answer, as shown, because you cannot say “Her parents HAS been saving” or “Her parents HAS saved.” Since the word parents is plural, you would have had to say: Her parents have been saving” or “Her parents have saved”, but these options were not given. Hope this helps to clarify your question. All the best to you!

Rebecca

Touché. Thank you!!

janio

I’ve a question. Please answer anyone. In the video Rebecca said like… “Had you been planning to study this tense today”. In this what is the use of Today when we talk about Past tense. It should to Present Prefect Continuous Tense, right?

Lakshmi Narayana Thota

Thank you

rajatsingh500

mam mam where is future perfect continuous ,future perfect?you had been uploading only one video on march 2nd simple future tense .

rajatsingh500

Thank you Mam. I got 90% mark on the quiz. You have given a clear idea about past perfect tenses. I understand theoretically when to use past perfect continuous. But when i start to speak, i could not use perfect tenses in general. How to overcome this difficulty?

josephprabagar

Thanks Rebecca.

Aweys2

This Lesson is very useful, thank you so much for your efforts with us .

alanadnan

Hi, Rebecca! Your lesson is very clear and well-structured, but I can’t get the difference between Past Continuous…Why we could say: Sarah was studying all day.. and: It had been snowing all week.. Do you have a lesson about that difference?

Chubby Bear

10/10 , i like this listen

ledi.arisha

Her parents __________ money for her education ever since she was born.
had been saving
has been saving

In this question,why we can’t use ‘has been saving’? We don’t know if the parents stopped saving money.Maybe they’re still saving?

imer13

I think “Has” is used to present perfect when the subject is singular, but in this lesson has explained about past perfect continuous, so we use “had” whether singular or plural the subject. I hope this comment would help you.

Moctatomas

YOU’RE RİGHT. NOT HALF.

Mirlaine Dias

Lakshmi Narayana Thota

Had you been planning to study this tense Today?
or
Had you planned to study this tense Today?

Which one is correct ?

Lakshmi Narayana Thota

Hello, Rebecca!

Could you explain me – could I change sentence (happening + cause):
She was tired because she had been studying all night.

To:
1. She was tired because she had studied this night. (past perfect)
2. She was tired because she had studied all night. (past perfect + all night)
3. She was tired because she studied last night. (past simple + past simple)

Thank you very much for your lessons, help and attention.
