I have 2 say u r a good teacher with your buddy Mr E. see ya James. have u seen the comments lately.

Excellent James! Why is future perfect connected to the past? If I say I will have finished my hw by 8 PM. Does it mean I started studying before now? The way I feel, is that I might not even started working on the hw!! This really confuses me, since it’s nothing I’ve learnt, but I feel it’s that way. Thank you!!
Thank you very much
thank you,you rock¡¡¡¡
You are my fav teacher …
I wish that everybody had taught like you do !
thank you, I got 2 of 6 in this Quiz, it’s really complicated, I don’t know the grammars’ idioms I just know where could I use them.
Very well explained! As ever !
Thx a lot teacher

so much understandable lessen thanks teacher James
James, nice to meet you guy!
I have watched your classes and of another teacher s either. You are amazing, really very good teachers. I´m from Brazil but I´m not there because I’m working and studying in Chile.
Here I study translation from English to Spanish and it’s a very interesting challenge.
Well if I finish the school I’ll be able to speak 3 languages.
Thanks for your explanation. I hope someday to be in Canada to visit this beautiful country.
Bye,
Marcio
Thank so much for your help, it is really important for me!!!
Hello James,
I have a question in regard to using “have” in sentences like these:
1. You have to have it done for tomorrow.
2. We need to have our car repaired for Monday.
3. I think I should have the letter sent at the latest tomorrow morning.
4. They should have had it done two weeks ago.
5. I had to have it done for yesterday, while you still have plenty of time.
Are they (any of them) grammatically correct?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks :)
the frist you have tow event you should know it
1-present perfect .
2-present simple .
these senteces are present simple
because there rule say
sub+have /has +obj+p.p
for example
I have my car fixed
thiss means i pay money to some one to fixed my car .
not me that fixed my car
and and the event is present simple .
————————————-
If i said
I have fixed my car .
that means i fixed my car not elst someone .
and this event is present perfect
thanks …
Hi Hamed,
You shouldn’t answer someone’s questions if you don’t even know what you are talking about… What you wrote is really chaotic and does not explain anything…
Cześć Bracie ;).
Widzę, że James nie odpisał, więc mogę napisać odpowiedź, mam doświadczenie z j. angielskim.
1. OK – może dziwnie brzmieć z tym podwójnym have, ale możesz ew. napisać “You should have it done…”
2. OK
3. OK, tylko zamienić miejscami wyrażenia – “at the latest” zwykle daje się na końcu zdania. Więc: I think I should have the letter sent tomorrow morning at the latest.
4. OK
5. Tutaj zdanie jest niezrozumiałe. Yesterday jest pomieszane z teraźniejszością – you still have. Może chodziło Ci o: I should have had it done yesterday, when you still had plenty of time.
Ogólnie w tych przykładach występuje “have something done” – czyli oddajesz jakąś czynność komuś innemu, aby za ciebie ją zrobił.
Pozdrowienia :)
James, your explanation of this matter is awesome! Thank you very much!
Great lesson. It was so amazing.
Thank you .

Thank You !
James can you tell me what the different betwen has and have? please :)
thank you in advance
“Has” means the same as “have”. The only difference is that you have to use the right form according to the subject of the sentece – the person.
I – have
You – have
He, she, it – has
We – have
They – have
You (plural) – have
Hope I helped you. ;)
sorry between*

Love you so much James.. :)
Thank you
It is great, James, thank you!
I like it!
it was helpful thank you
Thanks James. I’ve learned everything!
The basic meaning is “connection”, thank you for your sharing.
Great, i’ve got 100%. Good explanation teacher.
nice video but sound is not so good it seems to be in a mine or in an empty room
Thanks.
Then “have” means “connection” and his 5 main features would be: Action, Possession, Necessity of modals, modals with the past and Perfect Tenses. We have learnt how to use these features and now we have a little more reported about “to have”. Thanks a lot, teacher James Greer from EngVid, enjoying to learn more concepts of English.
thank you ^^
Thank you, Mr.
Thanks!
You got 6 correct out of 6.
thank you so much.
I have been cooking my dinner…….
Thank you very much
I have always seen meanings of the verb ‘HAVE’ that are confuse, it replaced some words in different way when written in portuguese. Great lesson James! Thank you.
I watched this video one more time on January 01, 2022, and took the quiz after watching it. I got six correct out of 6.
