    Hi Seonaid, great to see you here again! I've been expecting you to restart your channel, as it's been a long time since your last video upload. I recall when you first started, very few people knew about UA-cam. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge with us again!

    Hello Seonaid,
    I've received your useful, grammar lessons for years but it's the first time I've seen you on "UA-cam".
    Thank you for this lesson - it has been a great review of the two tenses.

    Thank you for this! It might be good to add, that with "finished time words", the addition of the word "since" changes the sense and we're back to the Present Perfect; e.g.: "I haven't eaten since last night"; "I haven't seen John since last year"; "She's been working there since 2015".
    I know my students can take things literally, sometimes, so saying "finished time words = Past Simple" could lead them to believe that the mere presence of such words in a sentence means they can only use the Past Simple, whereas it depends, as in my examples above.
    So I make sure to let them know that🙂

      Your sentences define a period of time before now, show duration and a starting point with, since +a point in time. This structure can't possibly be mistaken for Past Simple....also, Seonaid had attached three PDFS with the complete rules of the two tenses.

      @@fabianabevis9890 Thanks for your comment but I did not say the structure of my sentences could be mistaken for the Past Simple, not at all 🙂
      I know her PDFs and this lesson very well because I've been sending my students to her brilliant site for years to consolidate on this very lesson and it has been very helpful. In my comment, I was just making a point (which remains valid) about her saying to never use finished time words with the Present Perfect. My example sentences prove that you can use finished time words with the Present Perfect, if the sentences contain the word "since".
      Just adding my two cents of clarity to the subject; not looking to be hurtful or offensive! Judging by her reply, I think Seonaid got what I was saying. In any case, I certainly hope so! ☮

      I’m a teacher, Seonaid is extremely generous with her free materials which help both students and teachers. Looking at the range of materials I don’t know how she does it. A subscription is cheaper than updating my cupboard of books and saves time in exam prep too.
