I think it’s also up to each speaker to be honest, because “I’ve forgotten” in that situation is something I’d never say even if it was formal, because it sounds unnatural to me, but other people might have no problem saying it
I'm75 years old. My junior high school English teacher, Mr. James Roche,was a wonderful teacher. That was 60+ years ago. I took the test. Of the 12 questions, I answered 11 correctly. Thanks you, Mr. Roche. I think of you each day that I write anything... Even the simplest note. Oh, I went to Junior High School 45, in The Bronx, NY.
I think that sentences like "I've just finished my homework" and "I just finished my homework" are both correct and i prefer using the second example as we're talking about something that has already been finished and it's now a part of the past
A very educational video, I always try to improve my grammar everyday and this video is helpful. Some of the multiple choice questions felt like both answers were correct so it is nice to see a clear answer.
I made only one mistake:) It's great. I've been learning English for about two years also I haven't gone to any courses yet,only by myself. Now,I can figure out natives. I really need to improve my listening greatly.
I'm thrilled to hear that you absolutely loved the explanation in the video! Understanding the difference between the Past Simple and Present Perfect can sometimes be challenging, but it's crucial for effective communication in English. Clear and informative explanations are invaluable in making complex concepts easier to comprehend. It's wonderful that the video provided you with a thorough understanding of the topic and helped clarify any confusion you may have had. Remember to apply what you've learned in your own language practice to solidify your understanding further. With continued practice and exposure to real-life examples, you'll become even more confident in using the Past Simple and Present Perfect correctly. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to seek additional resources or ask for assistance. Keep up the enthusiasm for learning, and may your English skills continue to flourish!
@@satsumamoon Hello. Thanks for your opinion but my sentence isn't wrong because the main verb is a present perfect tense and the clause beginning with since is in the past simple because it indicates the moment something started and has continued until now. Another example, Susan has been living in London since she was eight. I hope you can understand what I mean. Thanks. 🌼
We cannot use "ago" with the present perfect because "ago" refers to a specific point in the past, while the present perfect tense is used to describe actions or events that have a connection to the present (e.g., unfinished time periods or ongoing relevance). For example: ❌ I have finished the project two days ago. ✅ I finished the project two days ago.
Certainly! In the given sentence, "He's home now," the use of the present perfect tense is suitable. Here's why option b) "He's come back." is the correct choice: The present perfect tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present moment. In this case, the action is "coming back" and the present moment is indicated by the phrase "now." By using "He's come back," we convey that the action of coming back happened in the past, and the person is currently in the state of being at home. The word "now" emphasizes the connection to the present moment. On the other hand, option a) "He came back." uses the past simple tense, which indicates an action that occurred and ended in the past. It doesn't convey the connection to the present moment that is implied by the word "now" in the original sentence. Therefore, to accurately capture the sense of the present moment and the action of coming back in the past, option b) "He's come back." is the most appropriate choice when considering the present perfect tense.
Please note that we use 'past participle after 'have or has' and the past participle of come is 'come' not came. present simple I / you / we / they come he / she / it comes past simple: came past participle: come -ing form: coming
Great question! The present perfect and present perfect continuous are related but have different uses: Present Perfect: It’s used to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past, or actions that have an effect on the present. For example, 'I have finished my homework.' (The action is complete.) Present Perfect Continuous: It’s used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing or have just finished. It emphasizes the duration of the action. For example, 'I have been studying for two hours.' (The action is ongoing or recently finished, and the focus is on the time spent doing it.) So, they’re not the same, but both connect the past with the present. Hope that clears it up! 😊
I'm so sorry. That's the correct version: The past simple is used when we describe an action that started and finished at a specific time in the past, whereas the present perfect is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present time.

Great observation! 😊 Both sentences can be correct, but they have slightly different meanings: 'I’ve put on several kilos in the last month' refers to the period up until now, emphasizing the entire time span from the beginning of the month to today. 'I’ve put on several kilos since last month' is also correct, but it focuses more on the point in time after last month until now. Both are valid, but the choice depends on what you want to emphasize. Thanks for pointing that out! Keep up the great work! 👍
@@techwizard8214 Yes. Every sentence with "last" pharse is Simple Past. Last month, last night, last summer...etc, but if there are both "since" and "last" in the same sentence it is Present Perfect, Eg "I've worked here since last year" it's in the question number one.
@@techwizard8214 I think the best way to improve writing skill is to learn more deeply about the grammar, you can start by mastering the 12 tenses. It is very useful to upgrade our writing skill for academic, essay, formal article or business purpose. I'm still learning by the way.
Great job on answering 11 out of 12, Isra! For the first question, it can be tricky. The key is that 'a few days ago' refers to a specific time in the past, which is why 'received' is the correct answer. If you still have any doubts, feel free to ask! 😊
The sentence "We have washed the car, but now it's dirty now" has a repetition with "now." You can simply say, "We have washed the car, but now it's dirty." Keep up the great work in refining your language skills! 🌟📚👍😊

What about 3:40 ? Is it Present Perfect or Past Perfect?
Why that is not correct at 3:11 ?
We cannot use "ago" with the present perfect because "ago" refers to a specific point in the past, while the present perfect tense is used to describe actions or events that have a connection to the present (e.g., unfinished time periods or ongoing relevance).
For example:
❌ I have finished the project two days ago.
✅ I finished the project two days ago.

I've scored cent percent. It's quite interesting. Thanks, from India.
You're welcome.
can you please explain why in 1:47 right answer is b?
Certainly! In the given sentence, "He's home now," the use of the present perfect tense is suitable. Here's why option b) "He's come back." is the correct choice:
The present perfect tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present moment. In this case, the action is "coming back" and the present moment is indicated by the phrase "now."
By using "He's come back," we convey that the action of coming back happened in the past, and the person is currently in the state of being at home. The word "now" emphasizes the connection to the present moment.
On the other hand, option a) "He came back." uses the past simple tense, which indicates an action that occurred and ended in the past. It doesn't convey the connection to the present moment that is implied by the word "now" in the original sentence.
Therefore, to accurately capture the sense of the present moment and the action of coming back in the past, option b) "He's come back." is the most appropriate choice when considering the present perfect tense.

Yes, of course! Our next video is about the difference between "if" and "whether".
Helpful!
I'm glad!
Why "Hi's come back" , not ' he's came back '?? If the second variant the Present Perfect,we must use the third form of verb(came)!!!
Please note that we use 'past participle after 'have or has' and the past participle of come is 'come' not came.
present simple I / you / we / they come
he / she / it comes
past simple: came
past participle: come
-ing form: coming
I’m a native english speaker and still managed to slip up on a couple of these 💀💀

Ta very much.
You're welcome.
deep in we all know the correct one is "i forgor 💀"
Can I ask if present perfect and present perfect continuous is the same?
Present perfect is more general, and present continuous indicates that something is currently ongoing
Great question! The present perfect and present perfect continuous are related but have different uses:
Present Perfect: It’s used to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past, or actions that have an effect on the present. For example, 'I have finished my homework.' (The action is complete.)
Present Perfect Continuous: It’s used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing or have just finished. It emphasizes the duration of the action. For example, 'I have been studying for two hours.' (The action is ongoing or recently finished, and the focus is on the time spent doing it.)
So, they’re not the same, but both connect the past with the present. Hope that clears it up! 😊
Thank you for your test.
My pleasure!
3:40 I'm confusing, why he said Past Perfect?
I'm so sorry. That's the correct version: The past simple is used when we describe an action that started and finished at a specific time in the past, whereas the present perfect is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present time.
Full marks. Yippee.

"I've put on several kilos in the last month". Isn't that an action completed in the past? Can we still use present perfect there?
