    Liked the video. Despite it's a bit longer. However it's really good to give too many examples which help to capture whole picture. Some times one or two examples not enough. However in this video there are lots of examples which I really enjoyed. Thanks.

      Hi there I am happy you like it!
      Do you mean present simple and continuous grammar?
      Maybe I can do a live class about this

    This is a very interesting lesson.
    I knew the difference between the simple past and the present perfect.
    But you give more examples than other teachers ! There are more acurate clarifications in this video!
    I'll watch it again because I really want to master my oral understanding!
    I read (or heard) somewhere that the present perfect can be used to emphasize a meaning.
    For instance :
    "I have lived in Lorient for 6 years" is less significative than "I've been living in Lorient* for 6 years".
    The continous form would be a kind of insistance... I wasn't convinced !
    In any case for the verb "live"...
    But I suppose it can be a slight difference between " I've worked at this factory for two years" and "I've been working...".
    The second sentence could mean that I gave much energy to my job! Isn't it?
    (*Lorient is a town in Brittany : there is an interesting museum just near it in Port-Louis : Compagnie des Indes Orientales".)

      "I've been working...".
      The second sentence could mean that I gave much energy to my job! Isn't it?
      YES!
      Exactly!!
      this difference in meaning is subtle but it is there!
      I know how tricky this can be for French students, check out the two live classes I did about this topic on my channel!
      It took me a really long time to create this kind of clear explanation for this grammar point, it actually took me a long time to understand it so well that I could start to ex
      plain it

    Hello! I have a question. in the following sentences I'm not specifically saying when it happens but I explain it was my latest experience so I'm not sure. Which is correct ? "In my latest professional experience I have worked for an American company or In my latest latest profesional experience I worked for an American company".

    • @EnglishwithTerry
      @EnglishwithTerry  2 роки тому +1

      If the latest experience is over and finished I would say, WORKED but if this is a job or position that you continue to work in now, then HAVE WORKED.
      I hope this helps!

      ok, so, the answer is " it depends..."
      it depends on what?
      So try to understand the present perfect as fundamentally 3 things.
      1: Duration
      2: Experience in the past
      3: Result for the present.
      So with duration, which is essentially the question
      How long?
      How long have you been learning English?
      How long have you been working here?
      in this case, I have worked and I have been working have the same basic meaning but I have been working is more common.
      With results, which is basically the question
      How many?
      How many times have you worked with this kind of software?
      How many times have you worked with that equipment?
      In this case, you MUST use I have worked,
      I actually have a video which explains this in more detail here:
