  • “I work” or “I am working”? In this easy English lesson, you will learn the difference between the PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE (“I work”) and the PRESENT CONTINUOUS (PROGRESSIVE) TENSE (“I am working”). Many students get confused, because these two tenses do not exist in all languages. Here, we’ll review when to use each tense, how to form it, and what common mistakes to avoid. We’ll do practice exercises together, so you can understand the differences clearly. Then, you can check what you’ve learned by taking the review quiz on engVid at www.engvid.com/present-simple... . When you’re ready, move on to the past simple tense, the next class in my engVid series on English verb tenses: • Learn English Tenses: ... Keep taking your English to a higher level, step by step!

      Mam, "have" is a stative verb, we don't use it on a sentence which is present continuous. But at the end of this video, you gave an example "I am having breakfast", could you please give more clarification on that.

    Rebecca is one of the best English teachers I have ever come across. Her accent ,for a teacher, is second to none - it's so sweet and clear. The pace she adopts is what learners really need. She looks decent too. Moreover, her body language ( posture, eye contact, facial expressions and gestures) is perfect. I also find her voice quite appealing and engaging.
    Being a teacher of English myself, I strongly advice
    learners of English to subscribe and commit to her lessons.

    Rebecca, you're a lovely teacher with an amazing hand writing.

    • @PaleMist
      @PaleMist 2 роки тому +7

      Nice complement, but for the sake of English learning, "writing" is an uncountable noun aka mass noun aka measurable noun, as such "writing" cannot receive the indefinite articles "a" or "an" therefore "an amazing hand writing" is incorrect; the way to write that sentence would be "Rebecca, you're a lovely teacher with amazing handwriting.". And also, "hand writing" is not the same as "handwriting": "hand writing" is a construct for clausal subjects e.g. "A hand writing something is an ancient practice." whereas "handwriting" refers to one's particular method of writing on paper e.g. "His handwriting is very good.".
      Other than those two things, you did well. Keep up the English learning!

      Have you seen German grammar? There are also cases and genders in it. English is like playing in a simple mode after German.
      So what I was trying to say, don't be afraid of English 😆

    Hi Rebecca, I can't explain how much you are helping me to improve my English. I don't know how you do it because I don't only learn but I also enjoy your lessons. I'm sure if I continue this, I will be able to communicate with my kids in no time. Sometimes they laugh at my grammar. They speak only English and I speak Dutch and a little English. That's my problem. But many many thanks from The Netherlands.
