I want you explain this grammar for me pleas.

dear teacher pleas talk about arrive in, arrive to and arrive at. what is different betwen them?
aysan
we use the prepositions AT or IN after the verb ARRIVE . Sompeople tend to confuse the use of preposition with the verb ARRIVE in English and the verb arriver in French . It’s a matter of language interference

Good lesson ever i had

Thanks Ronnie. After I had woken up today, I learned how to use Simple Past and Past Perfect to talk about my daily routine.
mursaleen45
Hi, Ronnie! Thank you for the lesson.
I’ve read in Murphy’s Advanced Grammar that we may use Past Simple in both parts of a sentence even if it’s clear that those actions were completed at a different time. So, is “After I woke up, I had my breakfast” correct? Or did I misunderstand the rule?
Elena
You are correct! You can use just past tense.
Ronnie
Thanks mom im lot imprtant in future you are lessons
srikanth
Then why we need the past perfect. If we can use just past simple, the past perfect is redundand.
Frieten
Hii Ronnie,
I am happy today as I can realize my vocab is expanding gradually as well as things are going in my favour after watching the video lessons made by the Engvid team for a long time.As, you asked all the learners to write down a few sentences using both the simple past and past perfect tense put together in a sentence, I have penned down some of them..
It is about the activities I did today.Today, I woke up at the crack of dawn as I had been late to school yesterday.I had set the alarm which rang exactly at half past six.I had brushed and washed my face before I had some tea with snacks.Next,I emerged into my balcony and sat on an old ,wooden chair holding the newspaper with both of my hand . I was reading the newspaper when one of my pals made a call to my cellphone.He informed me that we did not have classes at school today.Then, I had got into bathroom to have a bath before I offered my prayers to lord Jesus Christ.Later, I studied till 11 a.m. before going to hang out with my pals at our local club.Our eyes were drooling some beautiful faces passing by the club.(Extremely Sorry for this sentence).I had stayed till mid day before I got back home at 2:00 p.m.I ate lunch and entered to my bedroom to rest for a while as I felt tired.After taking a rest for two hours, I got up at twenty minutes past five.Next, I sat in front of the television sat to watch my favourite program which continued for an hour. After that, my sweet youngest sister snatched the remote-control from me which ended up in a short fight.Finally,I made her laugh and happy by telling an interesting anecdote.Then, our parents returned from their work.My father bought some awesome new dresses for us. We took our individual dresses and went into our room to wear those.My mother gave me complement when she had a look at my outfit.She told me that I looked too handsome.Things went on in this way for some time .Around 9:30 p.m., we had come to the dinning table to have the last meal of the day before going to bed.
I would like you to go through the above content and request you to check my sentences please mam.I have used the simple past tense with perfect tense in some of the sentences as well as with progressive tense in some others sentences.
The most interestingly,I have learnt some other usage of some nouns particularly as verbs.
e.g. captain(nouns): I am a captain of our school soccer team.
captain(verb):When my elder brother was in school, he would captain the school’s basket ball team.
Mam please please read my comment and also comment on it…

Siheme
hi, madam ronnie,thank you very much,this lesson is great.
Could i ask you some questions?
1.Can I use only one action in past perfect?
example:I had given the book to her.i don’t want to talk about the action i did after i had given the book.Can i?
2.a)We had done our chores.
b)We have done our chores.
What are the different between these two sentences?These two sentences are refer to the same meaning.
3.If I miss someone at the present time,should I say I’m missing you??Is it correct?
Thanks in advance:)
charis
I’m waiting for your answer,hope you will reply,thanks,Ronnie.
charis
1. Yes only one action in the past perfect.
2. a= present perfect. Talks about life experience. b= past perfect, used with 2 actions. Ex… We had done our chores, then we had a break!
3. Grammatically, no it is not correct…but we say this in everyday situations!
Ronnie
so what should i say if i missing someone….
in no. 3..?
proudtobepinoy
Hi Ronnie, I just wanted to know. what does “tight feasted” mean. Please explain. I am waiting….
jaqes
Sounds like you misheard “tight-fisted”, which means stingy/miserly — someone who never wants to spend any money.

I have been recently known about this English lesson .Could you please give me suggestion from where I can start? I would like to learn some phrasal verb which are most common.
Fehasan
Hi Ronnie you’re fantastic, thanks a lot for this great lesson and nice time with you.
mino681
hi teacher ronnie my best for you, so i have a confuse, when can i use upto, to and till, to talk about limit?
josepaulino25
When you’re talking about time, up to is followed by a general term that covers a span of time. Until is followed by a specific point in time.
Examples:
I can wait up to three days for your answer (but I can’t wait any longer).
I can wait until 5:00 for your answer (but I can’t wait any longer).
Ronnie
thank you teacher

hi teacher, it’s the fist time i comment in engvip. i’m going to have toeic test next week, so i want to ask you some questen:
1: what’s diffirent bewteen although, despite , even.
2: how to use v_ed and v_ing. for example : bored and boring..
thank a lot.hope you respond as soon as.
huongueh
Adj +ed is how you feel/your emotions. I am bored.
adj+ing is used to describe a thing. Grammar is boring.
Look at an online dictionary for although, despite and even.
Ronnie
thank you very much
huongueh
…..in the shopping and business districts, Grand Hotel offers easy access to the city’s slights
(a) situation
(b) to situare
(C) situated
(d) situating
best answer is?
huongueh
You tell me what you think.
Ronnie
the answer is situated(according with answer key in the TARGET TOEIC). but as you said,adj+ing is used to describe a thing. i think situating is correct.
it’s so complex.
huongueh
Hi Ronnie,
You are fantastic, funny and efficient. I like a lot your class because you teach in a simple manner that I can understand everything.

karabugul

You would put the first action in past perfect, then all the others in simple past!
Ex.. After I had eaten dinner, I went to the bar, had a beer, talked to my friend and then I went home!!

Hiii Ronnie,
I would like to congratulate you for continuing this noble work.A lot of English learner across the globe are being helped by watching these video lesson.Being informative as well as practical,these lessons are really playing a great role in improving language skills of the learners who are truly dedicated to master this languge.I also have been continuing my learning which I started six months back from now.I request you to analyze some sentences which I have written below.
1.A mining company named Galaxy Mining Company Ltd. has mines located at various place in India.
My Explanation:Here “named” is an adjective . The verb form is “to name”
(e.x.My parents named me Sona Sharma.).
If I am correct, then we might refer to that organization by saying it is named Galaxy….Another word which is also to be noted is “located”. It must be an adjective too.
I request you to help me find my mistakes and assist me to improve my English.
sona sharma
NO mistakes!!!! Your sentences are perfect!~!!!!!!!

I’m in college, to become an english teacher…so I had a problem getting the difference between HAVE TO and MUST. I gave an example in class and my teacher told me I was wrong… for me HAVE TO is stronger than must,’cause there’s no choice. PLEASE HELP!!!
Jorge
Must is just more formal than have to.
Ex.. I have to go now… I must go now. They are basically the same strength but must is just what older people say!

hello ronnie how are you? would u pls tel me is thz sentence wright or not in thz sentence i used simple past nd past perfect “i had gone to the market,and i bought fruits” first action is the past perfect and 2nd is the past simple so pls correct the sentence if its wronge. i’ll wait for ur ans…
manomasa63
Your sentence is very good!!!!!
However, you have to use a capital “I” not a small (i). I had gone……I bought fruit!
And don’t use “s” with fruit – it is uncountable!
Great work!
Ronnie
Hiiii thanks for your class Ronnie and for the test too, i humbly say that i scored 5 out of 5 again, i like this page very much, byeeee

Food is uncountable so we have to use “s” on the base verbs. With he/she/it we ALWAYS need to add an “s” to the base verb in the present tense!
Ronnie
Thank you very much mrs Ronnie for your greatest lessons …

melyusti26
good morning there,
I need help again from you Ronnie as a native speaker and expert teachers of English to tell me which of the following tenses: past simple or present perfect is correct or should be used in the last statement with the verb (create): Here is the context:
When the internet appeared, the national newspapers began to claim that they would lose all their readers. Although, most of them who didn ´t use to love the internet (created) an online version of their paper.
OR
When internet …………….. . Although …………………. (have created) an online version of their paper.

Hello, Ronnie! Thank you very much for your very interesting and practical lessons.
I have watched the video about use of Past Simple and Past Perfect. And my question is:
although we usually use Past Perfect in the sentence starting with ‘after’ to show that one action had happened before another action in the past. At the same time grammar books warn that Past Simple can often be used in both parts to show that one action happened after another one. After I took a bath, I watched TV. First I took a bath and then watched TV. Do I think properlz or Am I confused? Thank you for your answer in advance!

amal543
We use present perfect to talk about a cool/exciting past event, with no time marker. Ex..I have bought a car!!
We use simple past to talk about daily/boring/routine things, with a time marker.
Ex. Today, I had a shower. In the afternoon, I ate lunch.
Ronnie
thank u so much..I get it now :)

Ronnie, why most of your grammar explanations start with this bad attitude towards it? you reinforce the idea that grammar is boring and difficult, although your explanations are very good. Think about it and led me know what you think @welcome2english

Hello Ronnie! Thanks for your double rainbow lessons!
I was wondering if you could help me with the next sentence:
While we were sailing on the boat, some back-packers taught (were teaching) us Spanish.
So the question is – should we use Past Simple or Past Progressive. If both version are acceptable which one is more appropriate for this situation and why? Thanks in advance.

in this sentence {I have bought a new car}can I say {I bought a new car}Are they same ??if not why?? please answer me
siva
Present perfect we use for special events in the past.
Simple past we use for routine (boring events).
If you just got a new car I would say I have bought a new car…because it is a special event!

Hi Ronnie,
Can you please give any idea about email writing?
Basically, I always use present perfect for report emails to my manager.
For example:I have completed xyz part.
Is it right that I’m using?
Can you please take one lesson on ‘status report email to manager’ which will cover tenses.
Thanks in Advance!

hi ronnie….thank u your videos r really usefull for me….could u explain me please is it (present perfect ) or (present perfect continous tense?… ( i have been married for 20 years..???.. iam confiused with this sentences
thanks
aatai
Present perfect continuous we usually use with the verbs teaching/learning/studying/living/working, and with a time marker. I have been living in Canada for 4 years. It means we are still doing the action now.
I lived in Brasil for 5 years means the action is finished = Present perfect.
Ronnie

Hello Mrs Ronnie! I really appreciate your interesting videos and i like so much your amazing way how you transmit the message to the audience,you’re great teacher and good facilitator.
Actually i have a small question besides this lesson,it’s about adverbs of frequency, Can we use them with past tense????

Please answer me and enlighten me sooooon :)

Can I say: “Before I watched a movie last night, I had taken a shower”?
Thanks

“Took a shower” might sound better.
engVid Moderator
Ronnie,
You are very funny doing the class…Thank you very much !
manuroma01
Ronnie, the moderator told me to use “took a shower” but it isn`t past perfect. In all exemples, you use first the past perfect and after the simple past, beginning the sentence with “after”. I changed the position and started the sentence with “before”. Is it correct? Thanks!

Hi Ronnie!
First of all I’d like to say, that you are my favourite teacher. I’ve watched already all of your lessons, some of them more than once! I like your sense of humour and intelligence.
I am 50 years old, Polish women, I moved six months ago to UK. I learnt English for many years in Poland at high school and at university, but I was taught by polish teachers, from old fashioned text books. So, now, when I’ve faced the live language I have some problems. First of all, with understanding spoken language, especially here, in the region of Liverpool, where I live. I work in a factory, where workers don’t use proper English. It’s so hard to find anybody for conversation. And until I improve my English, I will not find better job (I’m a PhD in Medical Biology). I attend two English courses and spend a lot of time watching BBC, EngVid, repeating vocabulary, etc. But I still have feeling it’s not enough…
I’d like to ask you for help.
I have problems with using prepositions. I never know which one I should use before a noun – on, for or to…Could you, please, make a lesson about prepositions? Are there any rules? Or I have to learn them by heart?
And second question: I found a sentence: “I didn’t know whose bags they were.” The construction is surprising for me. I would say: “I didn’t know whose these bags were.” Which one is correct?
I will be grateful for your answer,
best regards,
Kasia

I could understand easily after I had watched a lesson about ‘Present Perfect or Past perfect?’, I watched a this lesson.
(Is it right? hahaha It’s interesting to make a sentence by your lecture. but I’m still confused about how to use ‘a’ or ‘the’ in the
sentence :) a lesson? the lesson?? )
Anyway, I’m going to study hard with your lovely lecture!!!!

Dear Ronnie, nice lessons you have!
I have one question. Grammar rules says, that one never has to use present perfect and present past together. But I have seen such sentences. Is it possible to use above mentioned two tenses together and if yes, are there any rules for it? Finally I would like to ask more specific question which actually lead me to wonder about present past and perfect together. Is it possible to write: “Secretariat informs delegations that the meeting that had provisionally been planned for 16 September has been cancelled.” ?
Thank you for your answer in advance!

Now I study in professional devolopment programm in english. I am more quiet, than others even I want to say something. I woud like to know about ways to struggle and win my low self-esteem. What I can do? give me advise! I tried to write this comment withowt translater, I apologise for my mistakes, usually I write only ‘thank you’. THANK YOU very much, you so active and funny.

Hello.
I’m sorry to bother you, but I’ve an issue with grammar…
I normally help kids in troubles with English at school, and in this case, I’m in troubles!
They’re studying the perfect tenses, and their teacher explained them the future tense, which is easy according to the formula:
subject + will + have + pp
But when they arrived to this exercise:
“By the time you come back, she will have been gone a long time.”
All of them wrote “she will have gone a long time”… and the teacher just add the gone in the middle of those words. I tried so hard to think about how to explain them that, but I totally couldn’t.
So, my question is: why do you have to use “BEEN and GONE” in the same sentence? I barely remember something related with “to be gone” but I don’t know how to get the main idea, to explain it to these kids…

noraalvap
techer what is the defferece between past simple and past perfect thanks
khaire
Thank you so much ;), although I reckon it’s easy to choose Past Simple or Past Perfect. You just have to think which activity happened before or after. The problem is… when you have to use other tenses like, for example, Present Perfect Continuous or Past Perfect Continuous. Sometimes I have problems with using Present Perfect or Past Simple as well ;(.
Nefri
Your teaching method very gooooood

Since I joined engVid, I encountered improvement in both my written and spoken English. I wrote here few examples about the video;
Before I went to bed last night, I had set to do list for tomorrow action to be carried out. After I had woke-up, I had had a bath then I ate break-fast. I had appointment at 9:00am, I went to the University and I met the dean of faculty. the meeting lasted in 20 minute,I was told in case aditted to a program will sent phone sms and I had gotten a phone SMS confirmation in the afternoon. I had got to prepare for the classes in a weak time and I hope successful end. Teacher Ronnie and anyone else observe mistake in my English Please give me your comments and please teacher advice me how I can Improve! thanks

alexaeco89
Ronnie,
Hi, I still have a question about the past perfect tense, when you use example, “After I had woken up…” why not use “woke up” instead of “woken up” I’m confused, same as the quiz problem, “after I eaten dinner” instead of using “after I ate dinner”?what is the difference between these two and how I can use it in the correct way? Thank you!
janetang
I can answer your question: woken up is the past participle
And eaten so , you know eat is the present, ate the past and eaten is the past participle. It’s all the same for the other verbs

ziadalshami1
The first I agree hundred%, But the second why did you use double had had I don’t understand.
Robiel
Well I’m not Ronnie but Probably I can answer that.
In that sentence, we use “had had” because the first “had” is part of the structure of past perfect. The second “had” is the verb “have” but this verb is in simple past.

I didn’t understand (Have Have got) Grammar from my teacher
I want you explain this grammar for me pleas.
dear teacher pleas talk about arrive in, arrive to and arrive at. what is different betwen them?
we use the prepositions AT or IN after the verb ARRIVE . Sompeople tend to confuse the use of preposition with the verb ARRIVE in English and the verb arriver in French . It’s a matter of language interference

thank you! ronnie great lesson, i have learned so much with you and im improving my english i cant wait to see your next appearance.
thank you madame ronnie
Good lesson ever i had
Thanks Ronnie. After I had woken up today, I learned how to use Simple Past and Past Perfect to talk about my daily routine.
Hi, Ronnie! Thank you for the lesson.
I’ve read in Murphy’s Advanced Grammar that we may use Past Simple in both parts of a sentence even if it’s clear that those actions were completed at a different time. So, is “After I woke up, I had my breakfast” correct? Or did I misunderstand the rule?
You are correct! You can use just past tense.
Thanks mom im lot imprtant in future you are lessons
Then why we need the past perfect. If we can use just past simple, the past perfect is redundand.
Hii Ronnie,
I am happy today as I can realize my vocab is expanding gradually as well as things are going in my favour after watching the video lessons made by the Engvid team for a long time.As, you asked all the learners to write down a few sentences using both the simple past and past perfect tense put together in a sentence, I have penned down some of them..
It is about the activities I did today.Today, I woke up at the crack of dawn as I had been late to school yesterday.I had set the alarm which rang exactly at half past six.I had brushed and washed my face before I had some tea with snacks.Next,I emerged into my balcony and sat on an old ,wooden chair holding the newspaper with both of my hand . I was reading the newspaper when one of my pals made a call to my cellphone.He informed me that we did not have classes at school today.Then, I had got into bathroom to have a bath before I offered my prayers to lord Jesus Christ.Later, I studied till 11 a.m. before going to hang out with my pals at our local club.Our eyes were drooling some beautiful faces passing by the club.(Extremely Sorry for this sentence).I had stayed till mid day before I got back home at 2:00 p.m.I ate lunch and entered to my bedroom to rest for a while as I felt tired.After taking a rest for two hours, I got up at twenty minutes past five.Next, I sat in front of the television sat to watch my favourite program which continued for an hour. After that, my sweet youngest sister snatched the remote-control from me which ended up in a short fight.Finally,I made her laugh and happy by telling an interesting anecdote.Then, our parents returned from their work.My father bought some awesome new dresses for us. We took our individual dresses and went into our room to wear those.My mother gave me complement when she had a look at my outfit.She told me that I looked too handsome.Things went on in this way for some time .Around 9:30 p.m., we had come to the dinning table to have the last meal of the day before going to bed.
I would like you to go through the above content and request you to check my sentences please mam.I have used the simple past tense with perfect tense in some of the sentences as well as with progressive tense in some others sentences.
The most interestingly,I have learnt some other usage of some nouns particularly as verbs.
e.g. captain(nouns): I am a captain of our school soccer team.
captain(verb):When my elder brother was in school, he would captain the school’s basket ball team.
Mam please please read my comment and also comment on it…
you must be kidding. right. u should be another teacher, right away.
ah what is this
thank you mom. you are a good teacher and I have gotten much usefulness from your lesson…..thank you
Wow!
hi every one how are u all
you write so long
You must be a teacher yourself
hi, madam ronnie,thank you very much,this lesson is great.
Could i ask you some questions?
1.Can I use only one action in past perfect?
example:I had given the book to her.i don’t want to talk about the action i did after i had given the book.Can i?
2.a)We had done our chores.
b)We have done our chores.
What are the different between these two sentences?These two sentences are refer to the same meaning.
3.If I miss someone at the present time,should I say I’m missing you??Is it correct?
Thanks in advance:)
I’m waiting for your answer,hope you will reply,thanks,Ronnie.
1. Yes only one action in the past perfect.
2. a= present perfect. Talks about life experience. b= past perfect, used with 2 actions. Ex… We had done our chores, then we had a break!
3. Grammatically, no it is not correct…but we say this in everyday situations!
so what should i say if i missing someone….
in no. 3..?
Hi Ronnie, I just wanted to know. what does “tight feasted” mean. Please explain. I am waiting….
Sounds like you misheard “tight-fisted”, which means stingy/miserly — someone who never wants to spend any money.
I have been recently known about this English lesson .Could you please give me suggestion from where I can start? I would like to learn some phrasal verb which are most common.
Hi Ronnie you’re fantastic, thanks a lot for this great lesson and nice time with you.
hi teacher ronnie my best for you, so i have a confuse, when can i use upto, to and till, to talk about limit?
When you’re talking about time, up to is followed by a general term that covers a span of time. Until is followed by a specific point in time.
Examples:
I can wait up to three days for your answer (but I can’t wait any longer).
I can wait until 5:00 for your answer (but I can’t wait any longer).
thank you teacher
hi Ronnie.thank you.
After I had watched your tutorial video,I wrote you a comment. I don’t know whether you have received it.

hi teacher, it’s the fist time i comment in engvip. i’m going to have toeic test next week, so i want to ask you some questen:
1: what’s diffirent bewteen although, despite , even.
2: how to use v_ed and v_ing. for example : bored and boring..
thank a lot.hope you respond as soon as.
Adj +ed is how you feel/your emotions. I am bored.
adj+ing is used to describe a thing. Grammar is boring.
Look at an online dictionary for although, despite and even.
thank you very much
…..in the shopping and business districts, Grand Hotel offers easy access to the city’s slights
(a) situation
(b) to situare
(C) situated
(d) situating
best answer is?
You tell me what you think.
the answer is situated(according with answer key in the TARGET TOEIC). but as you said,adj+ing is used to describe a thing. i think situating is correct.
it’s so complex.
Hi Ronnie,
You are fantastic, funny and efficient. I like a lot your class because you teach in a simple manner that I can understand everything.
Where could I get list of past participles, which are daily used for business Nd stories, cheers
Search the internet for “past participles”.
Hi Ronnie

Hello, teacher
May i ask plz!
What is the meaning of “as one parent to another”
Thank you teacher!
It means that the 2 people talking are both parents!!
Ronnie, can I use the present perfect instead of the past perfect?
After I have woken up I ate breakfast
Is it incorrect?
NO!!!! It is incorrect.
5/5 … it’s perfect done. i really appreciate your patience and your teach skills. After I had watched your Vid, I learnt differences betwen Past Simple and Past perfect Tenses in English.Thanks again.
hey ..hello ronnie, how are you? … i have a question if you want tell me how could i say to describe more than two consecutive action. thanks so much
You would put the first action in past perfect, then all the others in simple past!

so please please help me
sorry for mistake you teach great…
and you haven’t post perfect continuous video so please post this video
Hiii Ronnie,
I would like to congratulate you for continuing this noble work.A lot of English learner across the globe are being helped by watching these video lesson.Being informative as well as practical,these lessons are really playing a great role in improving language skills of the learners who are truly dedicated to master this languge.I also have been continuing my learning which I started six months back from now.I request you to analyze some sentences which I have written below.
1.A mining company named Galaxy Mining Company Ltd. has mines located at various place in India.
My Explanation:Here “named” is an adjective . The verb form is “to name”
(e.x.My parents named me Sona Sharma.).
If I am correct, then we might refer to that organization by saying it is named Galaxy….Another word which is also to be noted is “located”. It must be an adjective too.
I request you to help me find my mistakes and assist me to improve my English.
NO mistakes!!!! Your sentences are perfect!~!!!!!!!
Thank you Ronnie,great class
ronnie your bery profecional, you love teach… y hope learn with you , because i leave in IRELAND 3 years but no speak english … y thing y have a litle bit problems. thanks b. m.

Thank you, it’s really helped! :)
I found a video where you talk about job interview questions… and It was very helpful. However I am not sure if the job will be mine :P because the interviewer will be an Hindu person, so, the pronunciation is a little difficult to understand for me…
If you do not understand just ask the person to repeat the question!
hey Ronie! I just registered because of I had watched your video in one social network. I’ve fallen in love with your videos, they are so understandable and interesting! Thank you! That you are doing to us is very important. You are amazing ;)

HI!! I love you Roonie and your style too…. thanks for your time. You make my day every day…!!!!
I’m in college, to become an english teacher…so I had a problem getting the difference between HAVE TO and MUST. I gave an example in class and my teacher told me I was wrong… for me HAVE TO is stronger than must,’cause there’s no choice. PLEASE HELP!!!
Must is just more formal than have to.
Ex.. I have to go now… I must go now. They are basically the same strength but must is just what older people say!
Thank You Ronnie!!

hey teacher how are you would u pls tel me is thz sentence right or not?
“i had gone to the market,and i bought fruits” if its wronge so pls correct it!
hello ronnie how are you? would u pls tel me is thz sentence wright or not in thz sentence i used simple past nd past perfect “i had gone to the market,and i bought fruits” first action is the past perfect and 2nd is the past simple so pls correct the sentence if its wronge. i’ll wait for ur ans…
Your sentence is very good!!!!!
However, you have to use a capital “I” not a small (i). I had gone……I bought fruit!
And don’t use “s” with fruit – it is uncountable!
Great work!
Hiiii thanks for your class Ronnie and for the test too, i humbly say that i scored 5 out of 5 again, i like this page very much, byeeee
Hi Ronnie, I have the sentence here ‘ Some food travels thousands of miles to reach consumers’ Can you explain why travels and thousands can both have ‘s’. And in what condition i can use this kind of grammer. Thank you
Food is uncountable so we have to use “s” on the base verbs. With he/she/it we ALWAYS need to add an “s” to the base verb in the present tense!
Thank you very much mrs Ronnie for your greatest lessons …

Nice Teacher….
good morning there,
I need help again from you Ronnie as a native speaker and expert teachers of English to tell me which of the following tenses: past simple or present perfect is correct or should be used in the last statement with the verb (create): Here is the context:
When the internet appeared, the national newspapers began to claim that they would lose all their readers. Although, most of them who didn ´t use to love the internet (created) an online version of their paper.
OR
When internet …………….. . Although …………………. (have created) an online version of their paper.
Hello, Ronnie! Thank you very much for your very interesting and practical lessons.
I have watched the video about use of Past Simple and Past Perfect. And my question is:
although we usually use Past Perfect in the sentence starting with ‘after’ to show that one action had happened before another action in the past. At the same time grammar books warn that Past Simple can often be used in both parts to show that one action happened after another one. After I took a bath, I watched TV. First I took a bath and then watched TV. Do I think properlz or Am I confused? Thank you for your answer in advance!
hello Maam .

And you speaks fluently,Excellent!
Regards,
Nouvel
hi ronni thank u so much .u great teacher.
I want to ask u what is difference between present perfect and simple past?? cause I am confused..
in this sentence {I have bought a new car}can I say {I bought a new car}Are they same ??if not why?? please answer me
all the best wishes teacher ronni
We use present perfect to talk about a cool/exciting past event, with no time marker. Ex..I have bought a car!!
We use simple past to talk about daily/boring/routine things, with a time marker.
Ex. Today, I had a shower. In the afternoon, I ate lunch.
thank u so much..I get it now :)
thanks teacher !:)
Hi dear!!!!! it was a pleasure to see you teaching English, it´s more comfortable than be in the best “spa”..I am an English teaching mayor, thanks for inspire me…you´re great…many of our counries need teacher like you…

hello ronnie
help me out by sending few small sentences related to present tense sentences than change the verb to past tense
thanks a lot.
Ronnie, why most of your grammar explanations start with this bad attitude towards it? you reinforce the idea that grammar is boring and difficult, although your explanations are very good. Think about it and led me know what you think @welcome2english
Hi!! Ronnie, you know,after I had knew you,
I made a lots of mistakes, but now I rectified them all. what do you think about it?
Hello Ronnie! Thanks for your double rainbow lessons!
I was wondering if you could help me with the next sentence:
While we were sailing on the boat, some back-packers taught (were teaching) us Spanish.
So the question is – should we use Past Simple or Past Progressive. If both version are acceptable which one is more appropriate for this situation and why? Thanks in advance.
thank you so much you have a good way to explain you make me understand easy
Excellent Ronnie, your style of presentation makes it simple and attractive.
hi ronni thank u so much .u great teacher.
I want to ask u what is difference between present perfect and simple past?? cause I am confused..
in this sentence {I have bought a new car}can I say {I bought a new car}Are they same ??if not why?? please answer me
Present perfect we use for special events in the past.
Simple past we use for routine (boring events).
If you just got a new car I would say I have bought a new car…because it is a special event!
Hi Ronnie. I loved your lessons very much!! ♡

Hi Ronnie,
Can you please give any idea about email writing?
Basically, I always use present perfect for report emails to my manager.
For example:I have completed xyz part.
Is it right that I’m using?
Can you please take one lesson on ‘status report email to manager’ which will cover tenses.
Thanks in Advance!

you all teachers are best
hi ronnie….thank u your videos r really usefull for me….could u explain me please is it (present perfect ) or (present perfect continous tense?… ( i have been married for 20 years..???.. iam confiused with this sentences
thanks
Present perfect continuous we usually use with the verbs teaching/learning/studying/living/working, and with a time marker. I have been living in Canada for 4 years. It means we are still doing the action now.
I lived in Brasil for 5 years means the action is finished = Present perfect.
hi Ronie….good explanation. would you like to explain about usage of “being”. i rather confuse when i must use it for speaking or writing..
thanks
Hi Ronnie

Hi. Just a question!
Can I say: “Before I watched a movie last night, I had taken a shower”?
Thanks
“Took a shower” might sound better.
Ronnie,
You are very funny doing the class…Thank you very much !
Ronnie, the moderator told me to use “took a shower” but it isn`t past perfect. In all exemples, you use first the past perfect and after the simple past, beginning the sentence with “after”. I changed the position and started the sentence with “before”. Is it correct? Thanks!
I got 100 witch is no mistake,thanks
i have alot of problem in tenses :( please try to make some videos about all the tenses from the first up to last thnks miss ronnie
Hi Ronnie!
First of all I’d like to say, that you are my favourite teacher. I’ve watched already all of your lessons, some of them more than once! I like your sense of humour and intelligence.
I am 50 years old, Polish women, I moved six months ago to UK. I learnt English for many years in Poland at high school and at university, but I was taught by polish teachers, from old fashioned text books. So, now, when I’ve faced the live language I have some problems. First of all, with understanding spoken language, especially here, in the region of Liverpool, where I live. I work in a factory, where workers don’t use proper English. It’s so hard to find anybody for conversation. And until I improve my English, I will not find better job (I’m a PhD in Medical Biology). I attend two English courses and spend a lot of time watching BBC, EngVid, repeating vocabulary, etc. But I still have feeling it’s not enough…
I’d like to ask you for help.
I have problems with using prepositions. I never know which one I should use before a noun – on, for or to…Could you, please, make a lesson about prepositions? Are there any rules? Or I have to learn them by heart?
And second question: I found a sentence: “I didn’t know whose bags they were.” The construction is surprising for me. I would say: “I didn’t know whose these bags were.” Which one is correct?
I will be grateful for your answer,
best regards,
Kasia
Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for the lesson. I have a question please, why in the example you had in this lesson you used After I had woken up and not After I have woken up? Thank you
I LIKE IT. YOU´RE A GREAT TEACHER!
thank you very much ! :)
Hi Ms Ronnie. I really love the way you teach. Ms Ronnie could you pls help me this sentence.”I had finally done from work and now Im going to eat pizza”. Is this correct? I hope you will response to this msg.Thankz
Thank you Ronnie. I got 100 %.
Hi, Ronnie! Please let me know which of the following sentences is correct:
She could not attend the meeting as she
1) had a flight to catch.
2) had to catch a flight.
Thanks.
the Candaian Spirit, always Kidding u’r the best Ronnie
I enjoyed the lecture, thanks Ronnie! By the way, I want to know how use the past participle and simple past when there are 3 or more actions in sequence. Could you explain it for me? Thanks again
*I mean past perfect instead past participle, sorry.
Thank you. ;)
Thanks Ronnie.
Ronnie you are fantastic !!!
teacher Ronnie you have a great , awesome , fun explanation to us ,thanks a lot .
thanks ronnie i enjoyed the lecture..:-)
Tht’s very useful. thank a lot.
I wanna ask, is it true? ” the nature has started damaging”
I could understand easily after I had watched a lesson about ‘Present Perfect or Past perfect?’, I watched a this lesson.
(Is it right? hahaha It’s interesting to make a sentence by your lecture. but I’m still confused about how to use ‘a’ or ‘the’ in the
sentence :) a lesson? the lesson?? )
Anyway, I’m going to study hard with your lovely lecture!!!!
Thank you.
Hi Ronnie,
after I had watched this video, I was sure, that I got it well.
”I got 5 correct out of 5”
Thanks!
Dear Ronnie, nice lessons you have!
I have one question. Grammar rules says, that one never has to use present perfect and present past together. But I have seen such sentences. Is it possible to use above mentioned two tenses together and if yes, are there any rules for it? Finally I would like to ask more specific question which actually lead me to wonder about present past and perfect together. Is it possible to write: “Secretariat informs delegations that the meeting that had provisionally been planned for 16 September has been cancelled.” ?
Thank you for your answer in advance!
Karel
really you are great ..but i wanna ask you about something !!
I can understand what you say and something in movies .. but i cannot speak English with speaker s this languages and this thing make me sad .. i want your opinion (if i will be better in near future and hoW !! )
thank you
Hello Ronnie!
thank you very much! You help me very well in improving my english!
I have a problem. .. Now I think I have a enough words in order to speak and write in english, and also I understand speech, but all the same I use google translater when I respond to emails, when I want to say somthing. Now I study in professional devolopment programm in english. I am more quiet, than others even I want to say something. I woud like to know about ways to struggle and win my low self-esteem. What I can do? give me advise! I tried to write this comment withowt translater, I apologise for my mistakes, usually I write only ‘thank you’. THANK YOU very much, you so active and funny.
It’s fantastic lesson! Thank you!
it was easy
Thats a great lesson.All this while i was thinking putting a another had after past perfect was wrong.Thank You my dear teacher:):):)

2)The movie has released on Friday (Present perfect)
Can u please tell me the difference between these 2 sentences?
Please don’t be silly. You don’t know me. Someone thought I was from America. Absolutely not.
You know who you are! I know who you are and what you are.
Don’t bother me, you fool!
All of us got 100. Go to UK, USA, Australia, Canada (no please, they kill animal babies like serial killers, that’s what they are,psychopaths).

Hi Ronnie, this is my first class with you, and simply I loved it. Congratulations for your clear and simple way to explain.
I got it :)
thanks my favorite teacher Ronnie <3
thanks Ronnie
Hello.
I’m sorry to bother you, but I’ve an issue with grammar…
I normally help kids in troubles with English at school, and in this case, I’m in troubles!
They’re studying the perfect tenses, and their teacher explained them the future tense, which is easy according to the formula:
subject + will + have + pp
But when they arrived to this exercise:
“By the time you come back, she will have been gone a long time.”
All of them wrote “she will have gone a long time”… and the teacher just add the gone in the middle of those words. I tried so hard to think about how to explain them that, but I totally couldn’t.
So, my question is: why do you have to use “BEEN and GONE” in the same sentence? I barely remember something related with “to be gone” but I don’t know how to get the main idea, to explain it to these kids…
I hope you could help me as well.
Thank you!
thanks ronnie.
ayuz
Thanks got 80%.
thank you so much Ronnie.You’re funny.I’m very happy to learn with you.
All my answers were correct,thank you Ronnie :)
pls teach us about Suppositional sentences used in Simple past and past perfect Tense…
She didn’t want to move. She had lived in Liverpool all her life.//She didn’t want to move. She had been living in Liverpool all her life.
what is the difference between above two sentences?? pls help
hi teacher ronnie i like your messy hair style :) youre so beautiful.
Ronnie please help me.. I need to tell my friend that I teach kids the first aid but i don’t know which tense i must use.. I had tought/I teached (probably not this one..)or another.. thank you in advance;)
…teach them in the past;)
Ronnie, YOU HAVE A TALENT….and i am shure that GOD gave it for you….
” To teacher”… Thanks a lot. Kisses from Brazil.
Thank you Ronnie : ))
I ENJOY YOUR LESSONS A LOT!!
techer what is the defferece between past simple and past perfect thanks
Thank you so much ;), although I reckon it’s easy to choose Past Simple or Past Perfect. You just have to think which activity happened before or after. The problem is… when you have to use other tenses like, for example, Present Perfect Continuous or Past Perfect Continuous. Sometimes I have problems with using Present Perfect or Past Simple as well ;(.
Your teaching method very gooooood
thank you so much
Thanks Ronnie,you are my best teacher but can you say to me what’s the difference between the past simple & the present simple? :)i wish you could answer me and i am saying it again……thanks for you hard work
OMG! It’s alway so easy to understan Ronnie’s class!! I love her, i’m learning a little to much! Thank you!!!

I had appointment at 9:00am, I went to the University and I met the dean of faculty. the meeting lasted in 20 minute,I was told in case aditted to a program will sent phone sms and I had gotten a phone SMS confirmation in the afternoon. I had got to prepare for the classes in a weak time and I hope successful end. Teacher Ronnie and anyone else observe mistake in my English Please give me your comments and please teacher advice me how I can Improve! thanks

Thank you for teaching us
Hi, Ronnie I did the quiz and get 4 correct answers out 5 thanks for your help
THANK YOU :)
Thank you :)
thank you ronnie, you are the best teacher ever!
Ronnie,
Hi, I still have a question about the past perfect tense, when you use example, “After I had woken up…” why not use “woke up” instead of “woken up” I’m confused, same as the quiz problem, “after I eaten dinner” instead of using “after I ate dinner”?what is the difference between these two and how I can use it in the correct way? Thank you!
I can answer your question: woken up is the past participle
And eaten so , you know eat is the present, ate the past and eaten is the past participle. It’s all the same for the other verbs
Yahoo. I got 5 out of 5. :P
Thank you a lot Ronnie. I like the way you teach.
thank you this is verey useful
I had studied this lesson so I got 100 on the quiz! Thanks Ronnie. I hope the past tenses in this sentence are correct :-)

After I had watched your video, I went for the quiz.

After I had watched this video, I become very happy :)
After I had learnt Ronnie’s grammar lesson, I was more confident to use past simple and past perfect tense. Thanks you so much Ronnie.
Thank you you are good,and funy
thank you Ronnie
Yes! I got the quiz all right. Thanks a lot for the lesson, teacher Ronnie.
thanks for this lesson it very good lesson
Thank you Ronnie.
its too much easy with you Ronnie.
I got full mark
I got full mark it is too much easy thanks for your help techer Ronnie
The first I agree hundred%, But the second why did you use double had had I don’t understand.
Well I’m not Ronnie but Probably I can answer that.
In that sentence, we use “had had” because the first “had” is part of the structure of past perfect. The second “had” is the verb “have” but this verb is in simple past.
thank you ronnie
After I had watch your exciting video, I did the quiz.
Thank you very much! I love this page so much! :D
thank you a lot
Thank you so much for a very informative lesson Ms. Ronnie! But I’m still confuse and wantt to learn when do I actually need to use Past Perfect and when do I need to use Present Perfect since both of them signifies completed actions in the past. I am really confuse about it. Your reply will be of great help and would surely be appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
In my oppinion Ronnie rocks! She`s the best teacher ever. I`ve just started to follow her vids. Great job!
Thanks
100? But I think, we need more of this, because the quiz send you directly at the correct answer, can you please, do one more lesson or tell me where find something like this and so good like this.
Hey Roney! Thanks a lot. Can you imagine that I had never heard about Past Perfect? jaja but now thanks to you I will improve my tenses! Take care!
Thanks
Thank you Ronnie for this lesson. It was great lesson and pretty useful!!
I’m kinda confused about past participle and past tense.
