    As it always, I'm extremely delighted to meet you again in this year, I was so missing you all this time! It seemed to me, that was almost perpetuity without you!

      I want you to save this design further, in this year at least. I'll be faithful to you anyway, I'm just fond of your English speech, your smiling, positive feelings and so on! It doesn't matter what's the lesson about whether it's grammar or vocabulary one. I'm always interested in that, it's a fact!
      And I'd like to thank you for your feedback to me, for your answers! It's such an exciting feeling when I'm communicating with a real native, it's so important for me, thanks so much!

    Hi Emma! Thank you very much for your videos. They are very interesting and clear. I understood your explanation but when I was thinking about the examples, I had a doubt. What would be the difference between "I was riding my bike when I saw my friend" and "Í´d been riding my bike when I saw my friend"? In both sentences, the action is in progress at some point in the past (riding) and in both sentences, the action was interrupted by another action in the past. Thank you very much!!
