I want to thank teacher Rebecca and Engvid for such a rich and helpful content, it's the only one that I found on UA-cam which the verbs are explained detail by detail and not just in a superficial way. I've been learning English for almost five years and never could master the tenses the way I'm able to do it now. I can't wait for the present future and present future continuous classes!

Those classes about verb tenses have been amazing, my compliments to the teacher.
As a Portuguese speaker, my biggest issue is to get the difference between PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS and PAST CONTINUOUS. Could I use them interchangeable?
So helpful and informative video as always. The way you teach fills me up with confidence about English. You are the best Rebecca :)
such a great way of teaching - calm and clear!
Thanks ma'm, I am from India and i had been liking your classes recently. Your way ot teaching and making the concept very simple is really praiseworthy. I hope more cocepts for making us English literate would be coming soon from your side, very very thanks for your contribution to the student community across the 🌎 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks madam. I had been struggling with this tense. Now I get it.
It is ALWAYS a good idea to compare the validity of different tenses used so that we could easily avoid the mistakes. In addition we have more understanding of the different usages of the tenses.
Greeting from lebanon 🇱🇧. You have such a professional way to deliver the main points, great effort and thanks alot. 💚
No one like you thank you so much
First to watch, thank you so much teacher Rebecca.
Hi everyone,
as always extremely useful lesson. I still wait for these lesson about advanced future tenses.
Before i watched the video I had taken the quiz and I got 8/9. I made a little mistake in the last question. I had always thought a gerund of “participate” contains with double 2 before I saw the answers. Thanks to you I know I was wrong.
Please, correct me if I used “Past Perfect” in my sentences incorrectly.
I wish all the best for everyone who reads that comment.
Thank you so much I'm acknowledging you this way to explain this tense really I hadn't been getting before
The best English instructor that I ever knew
Thank you so much for the lesson, Rebecca. Could you make an explanation video about the difference between past continuous and past perfect continuous? When do we use one over the other? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards from Indonesia. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this question! I don't see a difference between this two tenses. For example, why we can't say " It was snowing all week " instead "it had been snowing all week"?
Please do more of the speak like a manage series.
Your teaching is a kind of blessing.. So pleasant and calm with good in-depth understanding of the topics. Thank you.
Thank you very much, Rebecca. I felt so good when I studied English with you. My English skills were better than before I studied with you.
I'm a high school English teacher in Senegal, West Africa. I must admit that getting the students understood the past continuous tense is not easy at all.
Hi Teacher Rebecca, how can we differentiate the past perfect continuous tense and past continuous tense?
First of all, THANK YOU so much Rebecca for teaching us in your videos with so much details. Specifically in this video you were the only one youtube's teacher able to make me understand this tense and the only one who really made me learn the difference between PRESENT perfect continuous and PAST perfect continous because before this video I'd confusing this two tenses a lot. So, thank you very much for this COMPLETE video! I'd shared this with my class. CONGRATULATIONS for your excellent work and your kindness!! I love ALL YOUR VIDEOS and you're the first teacher I look for on UA-cam. Thank you Rebecca 🥰
Thanks, Rebeca you are a great teacher. God bless you.
Thank you the imfomative video, you have fine skills. :)
Thank you for the*
Ma'am can we use contractions in IELTS General writing exams ?
Hi, I’ve a question. Among the stative verbs we can’t count ‘Think’? I don’t know if i were mistaking correct me! Thanks
She mentioned in the video that some exceptions are there we can use some verbs with it , but not all the time.
You’re the best teacher in English grammar.
I love the way you explain! Thanks a lot Rebecca! I learned a lot!
What is the difference between "simple past continuous" and "past perfect continuous"? Could you please make a video?
when we use simple past continues we talk about an action that happened in the during of another action that we was doing in the past.
For example: The phone rang when I was reading the book.
It means in the during of reading the phone rang and he stopped reading and answered the phone.
Good Question
@@nasirahmadkhairi4550 Thank you 👍 Can we also use past perfect continuous here?
@@MeryemKocabayDesign No dear. There are some rules in English. little bit confused. when we use simple past continuous we use it as storytelling. We can describe it as when something was happening in the past and something happened "at the same time" as previously said the phone rang while I was reading. In the middle of the activity " reading", the phone rang
But perfect continuous use to describe something had been happening and when "something happend" .it means one activity has already done or finished. Hope u got it😊😊😊😊
@@MeryemKocabayDesign
No, we can't use past perfect continuous here. because when we talk about past perfect continuous, we had completed our action in the past and after that did another action.
For example:
'I had been jogging before it started to rain' it means I had completed jogging and after that here happened another action.
Past continuous has different case as I said before.
For example:
You read a book from 2 PM until 3 PM yesterday. I ask you:
'What did you do at 02:30 PM yesterday?'
You say:
I was readind a book.
It means at 02:30 PM you were in the during of reading.
After i watched this video, it makes me confusing this tense and past perfect😥
You are a very good teacher . I understood it clearly💯
