      Hi

    • @englishspeaking360
      @englishspeaking360  3 місяці тому +2

      Hello Mandy! Thanks for watching my new video. 🤩
      "Go through" and "get through" are both phrasal verbs, but they have different meanings and uses:
      ### Go Through
      1. **Experience or undergo**:
      - Example: "She had to go through a lot of hardships to achieve her goals."
      2. **Examine or review**:
      - Example: "Let's go through the report together to make sure everything is correct."
      3. **Use up**:
      - Example: "We go through a lot of paper in the office."
      ### Get Through
      1. **Survive or endure a difficult situation**:
      - Example: "He managed to get through the tough times with the support of his family."
      2. **Complete a task or activity**:
      - Example: "I need to get through these emails before the meeting."
      3. **Make contact with someone, especially by phone**:
      - Example: "I tried to call, but I couldn't get through."
      In summary, "go through" often implies a process of experiencing or examining something, while "get through" focuses on overcoming, completing, or making contact. However, you should notice that the 1st meaning is very similar for both.

    Sir I have a confusing question. Which of the following sentences is correct?

    Or
    - It's time to (went) bed
    Plz explain or make a short on this topic.

    • @soap3044
      @soap3044 3 місяці тому

      Sorry for interrupting, but let me try. The verb that comes after 'to' must be in its base form. So 'It is time to go to bed.' is correct. And the second one could be 'It's time to have gone to bed.' which means 'It's past the time to go to bed.'

    • @englishspeaking360
      @englishspeaking360  3 місяці тому +2

      Hello! After TO, the verb must be an infinitive (most basic form).
      It's time to go to bed. 👍

    Hi there, will you be able to answer this question,what tense do I have to use:
    My mother told me,
    (1) when you were a toddler you cried a lot
    (2)when you were a toddler you were crying a lot
    (3)when you were a toddler you use to cry a lot
    I know they are close , what would you use?
    Regards!

    • @englishspeaking360
      @englishspeaking360  3 місяці тому

      The three sentences convey similar ideas but have subtle differences in emphasis and nuance:
      1. **"When you were a toddler you cried a lot"**: This sentence states a fact about frequent crying in the past. It is a straightforward past tense statement.
      2. **"When you were a toddler you were crying a lot"**: This sentence uses the past continuous tense, suggesting that the crying was an ongoing action during the period when you were a toddler. It emphasizes the duration and repetitiveness of the crying.
      3. **"When you were a toddler you used to cry a lot"**: This sentence implies that crying a lot was a habitual action during the time you were a toddler. The phrase "used to" indicates a regular or habitual action in the past that no longer occurs.
      In summary:
      - "Cried a lot" states a simple past fact.
      - "Were crying a lot" emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action during that period.
      - "Used to cry a lot" highlights the habitual aspect of the past action.

    • @englishspeaking360
      @englishspeaking360  3 місяці тому

      Hi! As mentioned in my video, when the duration is not mentioned, both have similar meanings. However, here's a more detailed explanation.
      The difference between "I was sleeping when the phone rang" and "I had been sleeping when the phone rang" lies in the aspect of the past action they describe and the nuance of the timeline they suggest:
      1. **I was sleeping when the phone rang**:
      - This sentence uses the past continuous tense ("was sleeping").
      - It indicates that the action of sleeping was in progress when the phone rang.
      - It emphasizes the ongoing nature of the sleeping at the specific moment the phone rang.
      2. **I had been sleeping when the phone rang**:
      - This sentence uses the past perfect continuous tense ("had been sleeping").
      - It indicates that the action of sleeping had started before the phone rang and was ongoing up to that point.
      - It emphasizes the duration or continuity of the sleeping before the phone rang, possibly suggesting that the action might have been interrupted by the phone ringing.
      In summary, "I was sleeping" focuses on the action happening at that moment, while "I had been sleeping" emphasizes the duration and the fact that the sleeping was happening up until the phone rang.

    • @englishspeaking360
      @englishspeaking360  18 днів тому

      Hello! The past progressive (was/were + verb-ing) describes an action that was happening at a specific time in the past. It shows that the action was ongoing or in progress.
      Example: I was watching TV at 7 PM. (The action was happening at that exact time.)
      The past perfect (had + past participle) describes an action that was completed before another action or time in the past. It shows that the action was already finished.
      Example: I had finished my homework before 7 PM. (The homework was done before that time.)
      In short:
      Past progressive: An action happening at a certain time.
      Past perfect: An action finished before another event.

    - There's only one Future Tense.
    AND.
    - Simple Present, Past and Future.
