[@matiasdg01]

hi Lucy, thanks for teaching us. I appreciate it!!

[@plshalpme173]

i like how when you're using PRESENT tense. PERFECT and SIMPLE present
you're talking about past

[@dionsilverman4195]

I'm a native English speaker and 2:00 - 3:30 was so helpful. I remember learning these terms, like "perfect" involves "have", but having this complete table with a clear but succinct description of each was great.
Now that I'm more seriously trying to learn other languages, I realise how much I didn't learn or failed to remember the terminology of English grammar in school. This is now making learning "tenses" in other languages much more difficult for me.
One question, is "progressive" the same thing as "continuous"? I recall using "present progressive" for "I am doing..."

[@wildersonospina6604]

Its the same thing.

[@fabrice9252]

This is one of the most exhilarating day that I have ever had. I had been going about diverse daily activities when I received a notification by Lucy!. In that moment, I didn't really know what to expect meanwhile I was screaming with joy. I had a similar situation like that no later than yesterday when I watched Anna's wonderful last podcast about the metamorphosis of caterpillars into butterflies.
I have a mix of feelings now. I am thinking about before, I have been working and practising my English so hard and I realise I've come a long way and I probably master all the twelve English tenses by now, which I am attempting to demonstrate here with that comment.
Next month I will have been totally immersing myself into the English language for 3 years, almost losing connexion with my own language and this is perhaps the most weird fact and experience that I have ever had.
Now, what I want is talk and exchange with English speaking friends from all the world about that moment, so, I think I will travel a bit and will go to visit the UK first. Tomorrow I will be planning my route and hopefully some day I will come across Lucy or Sabrah or Anna so that I can tell them face to face all my gratitude!
I will close this comment with the hope that for the future I will not have lived this for nothing and will have the opportunity to share more of my thoughts with some good English speaking friends.
Wonderful lesson, lucy, so clear and brilliantly summarized. Thank you so much! 🙏😊
I hope I did well and didn't forget one ;-)
