This grammar point has been a big problem for years now. So many sleepless nights I spent thinking about it… I guess tonight I’ll have a better sleep.
Thank you Rebecca
ha … )
I am learning English now, It is very hard for me, I saw your class here, It is helpme a lot,thanks for your time teaching other.
how did you sleep ? )
how old are you?
Thank you
haha me too :))
Thank you Rebecca! I wish I knew this simple truth 5-7 years ago…
Me too.I use your words to express how I fell.I learned Present Perfect today but I have taking this grammar for several years.
Rebecca you are the must!!!
I have been taking
Grammar is so exciting
Exactly. For example i’ve seen this tense for more than 4 months and i keep committing some mistakes sometimes. It’s confusing.
Dear Mrs.Rebecca,
Thank you very much for all your video lessons. They are really informative and very useful. Could you, please tell us rules that govern the maintenance of tenses and forms of speeches in academic essay writing. I requested you a couple of times in the past. I would be thankful, if you could go into depth of the details of essay writing.
Whenever you write, for an essay or otherwise, the tense you choose depends on a wide variety of factors. If you’d like to read some sample essays, please have a look at my website, goodlucktoefl.com. I believe this will help you. It would also be useful to watch my engvid lesson on How to Structure Your TOEFL Essay.
Thanks for your feedback, Daya Rao, and my best wishes to you.
hi ma’am.
thank you so much for your webinar classes ma’am. indeed! i have been learning a lot of troubleshooter problems in yours classes.
please help me out !
i have a few problem in tenses,still i can’t nail down distinguish between past simple and present perfect .
here my eg of the problem:1) i broke my leg yesterday(past simple= specified time)
2) i have broken my leg(present perfect= ?)
3) i have lived in london since2010( present perfect= i began start to live in 2010 to so for).
the first sentence i could understand clearly.
the third sentence i could understand clearly.
the second sentence i “couldn’t” understand clearly.
Hello, Rebecca.
Magnificent lesson. In fact, I have noted a lot of people usese the simple past.
Whether finished or unfinished. Thank you.
It’ ll great if you could teach us how to redornize that when verbe + To + verbe infinitif
or verbe + ING
Thank you
Gerald
these course is excellent. I like it.
This grammar point has been a big problem with me so i need mor prcatse pls
Is it grammatical correct to say
“I have finished cooking.” without indicate the time?
Thanks.
Hi
It’s correct if you mean that you finished cooking at least today. Normally you can say this way if you finished action and right after it you report to someone about it.
Yes, that’s fine. It means that you started and finished in the past and that you are still in a state of having finished the cooking. You may also use this sentence if you finished cooking recently, as in, “Wow, at last, I’ve finished cooking!”
My best wishes to you, Ivan.
hi.teacher..i can write this sentence for example: i have just finished cooking for some minutes
thank you
need a quiz pls :D

thanx for ur lesson teacher
thank you rebecca .it was useful for me.
8 out of 10
thnks a lot.. looking forward for some more lessons covering other tenses…
I must admit that this lesson is really helpful. Nevertheless there are other specific situations that are described in Simple Past or Present Perfect.
I remember that Present Perfect is used when we are talking about news, and Simple Past is used to give specific information about that event. Example:
The plane has fallen down. All passengers died.
In above example Present Perfect was used for describe the background and Past Simple for giving more specified information about this event.
Oh dear! i just got 5 out of 10! im sucks! lol
now i feel nervous about taking my ielts exam next month i can tell i am not a 100% percent ready yet. I hope this website can help me to improve my english skill.
You don’t suck. Just try to figure out what areas you make mistakes in again and again, and focus on improving those areas.
Exactly. Mistakes are only tools to make us aware and help us improve. Be cool, calm, and confident. Try to work with a teacher or join an IELTS preparation class before you take your exam.
All the best to you, jazz.
I got 10/10, before this lesson I’d rather write I have gotten 10/10.
Thank you Rebecca
thank you Mrs Rebecca for learing us about past simple and present perfect .
I got 10/10 at Quiz .
You’re very welcome. The proper word to use in this context is: Thank you for teaching us ….
My best to you, Abdulrahman.
Mrs Rebecca .
Could you give us more of Verbs 3 ‘ for present perfach
Dear Rebecca,
I have a question to you.
As you know
The present perfect is used for recent action when the time is not mentioned.
The simple present used to express habitual action.
1) I’ve lived in London.
2) I live in London.
Are these sentences equal?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Ramil
No.
The 2nd sentence is about ‘true or not’.
The 1st sentence is about ‘how long’.
You are confused because you are trying to see the difference in the ‘when’ aspect of the sentenses. And there is no difference here. They both are about ‘now’ (both tenses are present).
Hi,
I’ve lived means you have a experience of living in London, it says that you may visit London at least one time in your life.
But I live in London means it is a fact, means my home town is London, and it is true in the past , present and also it will be true in the future.
Dear Rebecca, Correct me i i am wrong
hi miss Rebecca.i got 9 out of 10.it was becous of
question nr 8 that was littelbit difikult,can you pleas explain it for me?why should we use did insted for hav?
best regards.
You needed to use “did” in that question, because of the words “last Sunday”. This means we are talking about a finished time in the past, so we need to use the past simple.
My best wishes to you.
I have waited this lesson 4 so long, now I know much more better. hugs n’ kisses lovely Rebecca.
Hi jumat. The tense is called Past Perfect. You use it when you want to show clearly, that from two events in the past one happened before the other. For example, from your 3rd statement I know (besides all other things) that ‘trying hard’ was before ‘taking her duties seriously’. And from your 1st example (though it’s not mentioned) we know that Mrs Jumat was a successful clerk before smth else. Usually that ‘something else’ is clear from the context or the situation.
Actually the idea of this tense is quite simple.
HI .MY BEST TEACHER (REBECCA) YOUR NEW STUDENT FROM LIBYA I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU ABOUT THIS LESSON AND OTHER LESSONS .IN FACT I STUDY ENGLISH LANGUOGE IN UNIVERSITY I WAS HATE GRAMMER BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE AN ECXLLENT TEACHER TO EXPLAINE THE LESSONS FOR ME CORRECTLY BUT NOW YOU LET ME LOVE IT BECAUSE YOU MAKE IT ( VERY EISSY) I HOPE YOU TO WRITE TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BYYYYYYYY
Thanks for your feedback, Ajdabya, and glad to hear the lessons are helping you. Yes,you are right, once we really understand something we can come to enjoy it, which is the key to real learning.
My best wishes to you.
DEAR MRS REBECCA I WANT FROM YOU TO EXPLAINE TO ME LESSON IT CALLED(A KIND OF A SENTENCES) IN EXPAND WAY I WILL HAPPY IF YOU MAKE IT IN VIDEO THAAAAAAAAAAAANKS
DEAR( ALan) can you tell me HOW CAN I BECOME EXCLLENT IN READING SUBJECT ) I HAVE A PROBLEM IN READING BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE MORE VOCABULARY.I WILL BE VERY HAPPY ANY REPLY FROM ANY BODY OR YOU ALAN
I feel your pain… My own poor vacabulary bothers me too. If you like reading I would advise two things that helped me lot.
1) Try to choose for your reading topics you are really interested in. You shouldn’t read in English any books you wouldn’t normally read in your own language.
2) The texts you choose to read should not too easy or too difficult for you. I personally prefer to buy books that are adapted for different levels (http://www.oup-bookworms.com/) and read them while on my way to work.
Hi Rebecca, Thanks for your video..thanks indeed!
Have a nice day!
thanks for the lesson mam…..
Thank you very much plz can you send me some home wrok every day On my email
thank you Rebecca
Hello, Rebecca!
could you please help!
1) can we use Past simple with “today”? – at some time of day today is almost over and things we have been doing are over already, for ex.: TODAY I called my colleague. We discussed some questions. (if the time of speaking is about 9 p.m.)
2) can we say: THIS MORNING I called my colleague… (if time of speaking is at lunch time or later – morning is over, isn’t it?)
thanks!
Yes, you can certainly say, “I called my colleague today/ this morning.”, because you are referring to an earlier part of the day. In fact, you can use the past simple to talk about any time that is over, including five minutes ago.
All the best to you.
thanx =)
Dear Rebecca, all my teachers till now tought me that I use present perfect if I have completed result of my action that I’m talking about. You sade something completely different. Can you help me please with it ?
thanking you in anticipation.
thanks
Thanks alot it was great teaching.
after I watched and heard this lesson I know the differcec between (simple past) and (Persent perfect) correctly and easyly, but befor I didn’t know.
Thanks For nice lesson but Where is Quiz???
hi rebecca! I found ur lessons very helpful and interesting.I have confusion between two verbs wake and awake.Could you please explain the difference with examples.
sometimes we use present perfect for a finished actions could you explain this please
Thank you very much! I was very confused about that! Now, I can say that I know! Thank you!!
Rebecca! Thank you very much!
I think you are a very clear teacher. thanks a lot!
Great! I’ve been yearning for such a lesson so long! Thank you!
10 out of 10! Yey! :)
Oh, and I’m pretty sure we can use both the tenses in the 8th sentence of the quiz… can’t we?
10 out of 10! Thank you Rebecca!
Thanks a lot.
Awesome, this is great!!!
U R the best
thanks a lot
Great!!! Good class!!!
Excellent! Thanx a lot
thanks allot I have got benefit from your lesson- could you just teach me what is the difference between these two sentences: I am in hospital./I am at hospital.
Thank you very much, Rebecca! Hope to find another interesting lessons.
excuse me what if i say “i have been to Niagara falls” isn’t it finished time?
When you say that sentence, it means the act of having visited Niagara Falls stays with you all your life.
However, you cannot say,
I have been to Niagara Falls last week.
You should say
I visited Niagara Falls last week.
In this case, when you mention a finished time, like last week, you have to use the Past Simple tense and not the Present Perfect tense.
All the best to you.
100%..my score!!!!
I’m so happy..thank you so much Rebecca!!
Love you all!! :)))
Hi Rebecca, can you help me to pass FCE exam? :)

Thank you, good lesson
thanx,but when to use `had`.
thank you
I have learned a lot of good things since I am on this website :D
(yes, it is correct ;)
hi rebecca, congratulatiosn about this lesson,it was important tome because I had some doubts with present perfect, thank you so much.
teacher,, is the present perfect using only with unfinished time in present.??please i have little doubt with that.
You cannot use the present perfect with a finished time, like yesterday, last week,etc. For those situations, just use the simple past tense.
All the best to you, Manjula.
Hello Rebecca.It would be great if you give some lesson about conditional sentences with real and unreal condition.Its clear when its writing, but i have problem when i open my mouth to use this kind of sentences.Probably you can explain it short and simple way.Thank you in advance.
Thanks rebecca you have solved my confusion to use these sentence properly.i like your method of teaching a lot.God bless you.
Thank you very much. I am so glad the lesson helped you. My best wishes to you, Abdul.

Hi teacher Rebecca. can I request to you? will you please discuss the different between simple tense and perfect tense? thanks.
thank you so much for this lesson now i know how to use this in a sentence.
tcgb!
Hello Miss Rebecca, i wanna ask you a question, is right that Past Simple emphasizes the use of “time” of something we did in the past and Present Perfect emphasizes the “work or the result of work” that we have done in the past? it will be an honor to me to get the answer from you and hope it will be helpful for my confusion in this case. Thank you
Yes, you are right, Anny. I wish you all the best with your English.
9 out of 10 , you are my Favorite teacher since last week , would you tell me that how can i improve my reading ?
thank you for you lesson.
Reading well requires a variety of skills, but most of all regular practice. Vocabulary is also very important in order to read easily. So choose topics that interest you and make vocabulary cards that you review frequently. You don’t have to read long passages, sometimes even short passages have a lot of new vocabulary to master. Then, make questions from the material and try to answer the questions, using the new vocabulary.
Also,I have an engvid lesson on English in the News which should give you some useful strategies.
My best to you, Abdul.
thank you REBECA :) very very interssting lesson
I think this is the best way to understand
thanks you Te Re becca

Thank you very much
Thomas

Thanks.

Hi , thanx for this lesson
and I have one question. What different between ..
How long have you been smoking ? , and how long have you smoked ?
Thanx again.
In some cases, as in your example, there is not much difference. You could use either one without much change in meaning.
All the best to you.
Hello Rebecca
I have a question..
”I have already had a breakfast” Isnt that a finished time.Thats a problem for me please help me.
I have already had breakfast.
This sentence means that I had breakfast in the past, yes, and the breakfast is still with me / in me! Therefore, there is a connection between the past and the present, which allows us to use the Present Perfect tense.
Hope this helps! Please check out a grammar book for an in-depth explanation of this concept, which is quite detailed.
All the best to you.
Thank you very munch for all your video.
these course is excellent. I like it…Thanks,Rebecca !!!!!!
Hello!
I would like to thank you for you presentation. It was really helpful. However, I was confused when you gave the example: “I have visited Niagara falls many times in my life” because you pointed out that we use the present perfect with unfinished time. However, in this case if I am not wrong, the time is finished in that example. I am not saying that your example was incorrect but I think that we can use the present perfect with finished times also. For example, I have already eaten lunch.I think this presentation will be more comprehensive if the you mention that we can use the present perfect with finished unspecified times. :)
“I have visited NF several times in my life.”
This is not an example of unfinished time as I am still alive when I say this sentence. Yes, the action is finished but the fact of the action remains with me. In any case, the point is that I did not use any words or expressions that indicate finished time in my sentence, such as yesterday, last week, in 1973, etc. That would be problematic in Present Perfect.
Thanks for all your interest and my best to you.
I love your lessons.
thank you a lot!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot Rebecca, the video lessons are excellent!
Thank you so much for your lesson, Rebecca. It is clearly to understand. I like learning English and I love Engvid.com. Thanks you and all your colleagues.
The best wishes.
Dear Rebecca!
How shall i know, if I want to speak about something, wich was happening (or happend ?) in the past, but I don’t mention the time ( which as we know can be finished or unfinished ) Let me show you an example:
He haven’t listened, there have benn to much noise
OR
He didn’t listen, there was ti much noise.
Thank you
Sometimes there isn’t so much difference and we can use either tense. Sometimes there is a big difference and we can only use one of the tenses. In your example, either one is fine. You could say:
He hasn’t heard because there was too much noise.
However, you could also say:
He didn’t hear because there was too much noise.
All the best to you.
thk u 4 ur excellent explanations !
Dear Mrs.Rebecca
I am planning to take the toefl ibt test on April and i want to ask you about how to take effective notes .. thank you for helping us
thank you so much Rebbeca!!
Thank you for the lesson.
And what do we use if we have no time specification? Can we use Simple past in case, when we have no ‘last year’,’yesterday’,’on Monday’ in the sentence, or should we use Present Perfect in this case?
hello Rebecca
i am thankful to you for sharing your knowledge with us…… i am very bad in english but still love this language
can you explain more and more abt tense
thanks
jyoti
mam rebecca that what i want exatly thank you

thanks rebecca, now I understand about simple past and present perfect. :)
Thank you very much ms Rebecca, Can we use present perfect to ask about somone’s experiences?
present perfect also uses to express an event finished in the past without mentioning the exact time for this event ,isn’t it?
Thank you very much miss Rebecca Can we use present perfect to ask about somone’s experiences?
present perfect also uses to express an event finished in the past without mentioning the exact time for this event isn’t it?
hello dear Mrs.Rebecca. You’re helpful for me so thank you very much but I don’t know. When I use have been or just have+Verb+ed ? Which one ? I am studying at university.This year I am learning English but I’m confused. Please help me dear Rebecca
Perfect! This lesson helped me a lot.
thanks rebecca you and ronnie ae the best
Thanks, now the differents are more clear :)
thank you Ms Rebecca.
hi, Rebecca! Lessons from EngVid are very useful!
And what about the dead person? When we’re talking about someone who is dead already, somebody famous for instance?
1.”he visited NY several times”
2.”he has visited NY several times”
Can we use only the first example? Which one is correct? Or maybe both?
Could I say ” My brother has gone on vacation” without mentioning any adverb of time and by that I mean he’s still on vacation?
Another question:
We learned at school when there are adverbs like JUST,FOR,SINCE,YET,ALREADY we always use Present Perfect.
For example: “I have just eaten strawberries”. However, I also have seen “I just ate strawberries”.
Is something wrong?
All the best!
Thanks a lot Rebecca,it was an excellent job keep it up. I do learned a lot from u today.
a very nice lesson
Thanks a lot Rebecca, Beautiful style of teaching wow.
Is simple past means finished time with finished work or unfinished work? present perfect means unfinished time with finished work and unfinished work both? please explain me. thank you

Thanks so much my English teacher, Just now clearly I can distinguish between past simple and present perfect sentences.
thank u so much…..
(1) He told me to come 11pm to burj Al Arab Hotel and pik me up.
(2)He tell me to come 11pm to burj Al Arab Hotel and pik me up.
Pleas help me witch one is correct.
Thanks
hi there teacher, i just want to say thanks kindly. your lessons are very educational.
Hi Rebecca,
OK, but it is not quite so simple. Here are some examples of when you use Present Perfect for a FINISHED action:
We have just finished our lunch.
Look, that lady has just fallen over!
I have just sent you an email.
In these examples we use the Present Perfect because it is a completed (or finished) action but is nevertheless related to the present because it was completed just a very short time ago.
The key word here is “just”; so if you can use just in the sentence then you should use the Present Perfect.
I hope that helps as I noticed in the comments that somebody asked about this.
Best wishes and keep up the good work, this is a really great site!!!!
Very simple very clear .you are great,thank you
it’s really a good video , but i have an example please correct it if it’s wrong .
my example says :
i have not taken my exam yet .
i think it’s unfinished time
waiting ….
Mam, could you please tell me what is the difference between
1)we don’t have TV since i was born
2)we haven’t had TV since i was born
3)we haven’t been having TV since i was born
is they mean same? or not? if same what are the situations we use each of them?
I’m waiting for your answer…
Only (2) is actually correct. It means that before you were born, there was TV; but from when you were born to the present day, you didn’t have a TV.
wow! Really I wonder the way how you make the things simpler.
Thanks a lot madam..
thank you for the replay…could you please tell me

Is it correct if I say: “I’ve taken a shower’?
And you are The Best, Rebecca!! Thanks for sharing such wonderful classes with us!
Dear teacher,
I have seen some reporters saying the following: “Neil Armstrong has died at 82 age.” To according the rules of the Present Perfect, we use it for showing a fact happened in past and possibly is happening in the present. When I say “Neil Armstrong has died” I would be saying that Neil Armstrong died several times. Couldn’t say the reporter simply “Neil Armstrong died at 82 age”?
This is a very nice video. Thank you.
What if we say : i have work hard yesterday. is it wrong?
Thank you Rebbeca, I have worked hard since I started this lesson and I am experiencing the positive signals in me, the confidence to write and eager to converse in English with my peeps. Thank you again for this rare opportubity.

“I started wondering: what did it mean? what was the problem?”
In whole my life,I haven`t studied grammar tenses like this way.
is this sentence correct?
you are great.
For me the different between past simple and present perfect is a wall! because in Italian sometimes we say the same things with both tenses! But I’ll study it! Thanks for the lesson :)
10/10 thanks Rebecca
thank you so much it was really great lesson
After I had finished this lesson, I said: “Thank you Rebecca!”

Hi Rebecca, I would like to say Thank you so much for a great explanation. Today we had a first QUIZ in our ESL class. I’m very disappointed because i am so confused to used simple past and present perfect in a sentence.
thank you a lot :)
Thank you very much Rebecca.You are a very good teacher!
Finished vs Unfinished
Quite simple.
Great advice!
Thanks Rebecca
Mam…you are really a great tutor !!! future contionious !!

Hi Rebecca,
Trust you’re doing well.
Actually I have a question. If I am driving & take a wrong turn so what is the right way to express it “I took a wrong turn” OR “I have taken a wrong turn”.
Hoping for your quick response.
Have a great day. Byee….. :-)
hi Rebecca
I really like this lesson
I studied altos of book to know the tenses specially past and present perfect tense but unfortunately I couldn’t understand when watched this video I achieved my target completely.
I am very thankful of and have a good and wonderful life .
Dear and respected Rebecca thank you for your explanation
dear sir can we say like
since 2005 some returnees come for foreign country
thanks
karim
Thanks>>
i met debbie in the last week or
i have met debbie in the last week.
i think it should be the first one… because last week its refer to an action that completed in the past.. please help me!!!!
Dear Rebecca.Explane me pleas 7th and 9th sentences in quis.I didn’t understand why I should use Past Simple instead of Present Perfect.If somebody ask someone about anybody then that time when anybody left is not finished,so in my opinion here must be Present Perfect.I hope you’ll understand what I mean.Sorry,if I made some mistakes.
Your listen is to the point [KISS]; Keep It Short & Simple. Thank you very much for help not only me but all people over the world. :)
Hi Rebecca,
Please consider these two sentences:
1- I visited Spain last summer
2- I have visited Spain
In both sentences the action of visiting Spain is over. So the present perfect may also refer to finished past actions. The difference between the above sentences is the one in which we used the past simple refers to a definite past action, whereas the sentence where we have the present perfect refers to an indefinite past action which is also part of my life experiences. The point I am making is that the present perfect does not always refer to unfinished actions. If you say “I have read Hamlet”, the action of reading has clearly taken place at some point in the past and is now over.
superb class;nice to devolope our english
I got 80
Dear Rebeca, thank you very much for your lessons!!! it was very hurt to me to understand differetns between present perfect and past simple. but now I understood very very well.

Dear Rebecca,

he has lost his key.
We should ask” Did he lose his key?” or “has he lost his key?”
and which one should we reply?
“No,he has found it” or “No,he found it?”
What are the different between it?
I like your video! thank you very much.

Hello,Rebecca madam i got some idea about the tenses.can you suggest how can i effectively improve my vocabulary and speaking skills without having shy.
i got 10 of 10. woohoo thank you Ms. Rebecca
Dear Ms. Rebecca,
Yeayy I got 10 of 10 for your quiz. Since i am very slow in learning, i will come again and again just to listen to you. My husband said that I always make mistake in using past and present tense when am talking. I really really hope I will improve and I can better myself. I am so thankful I found your EngVid website.
I am also very happy with all the quiz provided. I wish you have more quizzes.
I have 1 specific questions.
Please take a look at these 2 sentences
1)The movie released on Friday (Past Simple)
2)The movie has released on Friday (Present perfect)
Can u please tell me the difference between these 2 sentences?
yeah!
I got 10/10 :D
Thanks rebecca it was a nice lesson and useful to me.
Thank you for your lesson.
Can you explain different among “last week”, “in the last week” and “for the last week” to me?
Thank you so much :)
Hi Rebecca.
could I say: ” i visited niagra falls many times in my life?” if yes, what is the diference?
thanks
easy, usefull and so accurate…
Very clear your lesson. Thank you. I have a question, so you say I WAS IN SCOTLAND and not I HAVE BEEN IN SCOTLAND ?
I am from Indonesia where quite few of people speak English, however before 1998 there were many text books, TV programs, Electronics devices, foods, cosmetics and many more used English. But since 1999 due to The National Policy they have been gradually replaced by Bahasa Indonesia, Except for English movies and Computer Operating System which are still maintained in English. Fortunately, now we have internet access which is useful for those who are interested to learn English. I consider all of your lessons are the easiest one for me and others to digest. You are definitely a perfect teacher. Everything you explains can be easily understand even by those who do not speak English. I am an example, my English is poor but I got 100 score for all of your lessons. Thanks you Rebecca.
I’m sorry I made some mistakes in my previous comment. I wish I could edit but I couldn’t.
Thank you for this lesson! It’s clearly explained!
OMG! I understood it! This topic was very useful for me! Rebecca, you interpret very clear! Thank a million! ;-)
simple,clear and made easy lesson.Thank you
Thank you Rebecca. I got 9/10!!!
Dear Rebecca!Thank you so much for your lessons and your great manner to teach! With you I get understanding of things that I didnt understood long time before.
I will appreciate if you answer my question. I understand the use of Present Perfect Tense in time frames as you explain in this lesson, but as I know, this Tense is also used when we want to show RESULT of process, that something IS DONE, right? As “I read the book” doesnt mean I read it completely, I could read but stop and not to finish it. So when I want to show that I have reading done I can say “I have read the book”? it will be correct?
Being russian-speaker I can understand common mistake of many russian students as you said. Probably, they mistakenly use Pr.Perf.tense meaning it as result of something where it should be just about time frames.
Thank you again and look forward for your replay!
P.S. oh, one more! what difference is between to be thankful and to be grateful?
Hello, teacher Rebecca help help here pleas look at this example hi Adam long time no see the answer is i have been to Canada , my big question here is where is the connection between the past and the present in i have been to Canada and why he didn’t say i was in Canada as you told as the present perfect has connection between the past and present and thank you very much sorry for the long comment here ^_^

P.S. there is no reference in the context as to the time when this event happened.

Hi M’m, how r u doing. I’m zaheer. I’m wondering for the difference between an interrogative adjective and an interrogative pronoun, though they mean the same but they h’ve different positions to use, As “Whose coat is this?” and “Whose is this coat?” i know the basic difference b/w two, but i just want to know that if they are placed at different positions then certainly there would be some difference… i’ve asked lots of people but none gave me an appropriate answer pertaining to the question… hope u’ve got my point…
