Growing up speaking english my whole life, I never realized how confusing certain grammatical structures could be to the ears of most english learners. Never paid attention at all how some parts such as ’had had‘ may sound so unnatural to foreigners whose first language isn‘t english. Stumbled on your video while searching for language-themed videos... great job!
Hi teacher! I'm Gustavo and I'm 23 years old, I'm from Brazil. I've been learning english by myself, but sometimes I feel like I'm stuck when I am speaking and sometimes I don't understand when english native speak, and with your help I have improved my english, thank you so much for this work! You're awesome!
Hello, I am a spanish guy and I've been living in UK for a year and half, so I would say that my english is "decent", so your videos are really helping me to fix my mistakes to still improving and mastering my english, is so easy to understand your lessons because you speak so clearly, thank you very much for everything!
2:40 people who speak slavic languages (polish for example) tend to say "i have 20 years old" as well. Good thing you've mentioned it. Keep up the good work.
@@arsalacarbas2516 I don't think it is a big problem for turks. If you really want to accomplish something, you can do it. But first of all, you should motivate yourself, and the aim or goal shouldn't be exam. Speaking with a native speaker is far important than having a exam. On the other hand, to be comprehensible is very important. You can speak fluently. But if no one can understand, when you speak, here there is a big problem. Simply, you should be understood and at the same proportion, you should understand what people say😊👍
Why I really enjoy about your videos is that they help me improve my knowledge of English. I knew how to use most of these forms of the verb have, but I didn't always know why I used them. Now, I know and it is so much better. Thank you very much for that.
So well explained in such an amusing way! I did find the "have/has, have had & had had" tricky at the beginning and it took me a while to learn how to use it properly (I achieved it by practicing and failing a lot), but this video will help lots of people. Bravo! Love your videos and your job!
I have started earlier this afternoon to watch the videos of papateachme on UA-cam. But I had done it before today in the morning for some time. So I've got the feeling that I learned more today than I ever had before in school about English. I'm very grateful for this great opportunity! Thanks
I'm 20 years old. I have got 3 cats. I had 3 cats. When you got home, I had had studied everything. She has a table. They have 3 houses outside the city. I have been in the same school since I was 12. She has been very effective.
You are the best english teacher ever... I still remember struggling with have has had when I was a pupil... I needed you back then... you came late papa :( but better late than never...
Wow. I've started to watch your video since last month. You are an amazing and the best teacher ever ever. Thank you so much for your help. I'm living in Australia and got a certificate of TESOL. But, I really wanted and want to improve my English better level of it. I think you are THE solution for my concern. I'll be here for every single day. Thanks again. :)
Wow, I’ve been teaching IT technical courses around the world in English. I to speak properly all the time. I know very well when to used the different tenses. However, I watched the video from 00:01 to the very end. Definitely, you’ve taught me something today. Thanks you, mate.
spend years learning present perfect and past perfect yet still confused and watch this once i really got it now 😌 THANKYOU SO MUCH! greetings from indonesia🇲🇨
pescara fortes Do I need to say yesterday? "When I went to see my friend her mum told me she had gone to London ". I don't need to say yesterday when I went to see my friend ...!
I'm trying to understand "had had" but I dont know if the next example is correct. This is my example: My course had finished before I joined to this academy. Thanks from Colombia🇨🇴
..well .. why not.. "my course had finished before I have joined this academy" .. You are STILL inside the academy, you are STILL following the lessons in that ... isn'it? thanks guys
I have watched a lot English clips ,because I want to improve my English language ,and first time I watched your video in 3 days ago! That’s good! I have had some questions about English grammar ,because I learned more English today. I was enjoy to watch American drama ,I “hadn’t” had interested about English language.
Yeah it's confusing actually it messed up my whole grammer after watching this video. It just confused me more rather than solving my problem it got worse than it was before.
14:55.... that moment when Aly's kindness made me feel good again (after a little bit of despair, hehehe). I'll need a few more views to be able to make good examples.... Anyway, I have been in London in 2016... Was my second time in europe, I had a few days in the city. But, in another trip, 2 years before, I had had a week in London, was my first time in Europe, and I still have in my memory the feeling to be at the tube for the first time, coming from Heathrow to the city, listen to folk music that two artists performed on the train.
This video hits at each level beginner intermediate and advanced so if you're thinking The verb have it's easy. Give me have had that's more difficult then skip to this time, but if you're thinking Have had that's easy. That's like baby stuff Give me had had that ones difficult Then skip to this time or if life is very confusing and you just want to cry. Don't worry. You'll be fine I love you. You're doing great. Just watch from now So the verb have it works like a normal verb like do or go or drink and in the present simple form, it looks like this I you we they Have he she it has? have is usually for possession or actions which collocate linked to the verb have for example, I Have a sister remember for he she it She has a dog hmm with possession in schools they teach you this however with possession it's much more common much more natural to Say it like this. I have got a sister She has got a dog more natural more common is with the contraction I've got I've got a sister she's got she's got a dog. So if you're talking about possession Use have got it's much more common. It's much more natural Have is not just for possession also actions collocate linked with have for example Little sleep is called a nap and we say have a nap. Okay For this let's use present continuous if it's happening now now now It's present continuous Two important things one don't forget the verb be and ING with that verb Secondly, you won't use present continuous or any continuous tense With possessions, for example, I'm having a dog No, but this is an action you can use actions in continuous tenses So I'm having a nap. That's fine. It's happening now Oh a common mistake with have Especially for Latin language speakers when you talk about your age Don't say for example I have 20 years old. No, it's not the verb half you are 20 years old that is a really common mistake. So don't make it. Let's use have in the negative. I you we they Don't have he she it Doesn't have for example You don't have good hair now, I realize I know anyone to judge hair However, I think we can all agree That's not good. But I mean still it's not nice and Of course the form in he she it she doesn't have a heart The common mistake I hear with this is this You haven't good hair. I Haven't a dog. This is really old-fashioned No one says it I don't know why schools teach it these days. Just I guess Stop saying I haven't Okay questions For I you we they it's do pronoun have but remember I said with possessions it's much better much more natural to say have you got Have you got a dog and then for he she it Does he or she or it have a dog but again You can change this. It might sound better might sound more natural to say has he got Has he got a dog so for possessions that sounds better sounds more natural some of you are thinking Hmm. Can I say have you a dog has he a dog? That no, don't do that This is all present tense. Okay, but Had that's the simple past of half. So I you we they had and You will love this. He she it also Had I know i'm sata2. So other actions which collocates would have like interview shower chat when talking in the simple past use had He had a shower it's brilliant it never changes and the question form For all pronouns doesn't change did you I wiII they he she it have breakfast for example and the negative form Didn't have again this doesn't change with any pronoun. I you we they he she it Always didn't have did you have breakfast? No, I didn't have time I told you that for possession have got is the most common form, right? But not in past for past possessions don't say Hadn't got no just say this one. I didn't have have also is an auxilary verb you need this in perfect tenses and It's a little bit more difficult, but don't worry I promise it's not that bad have had this is used in present. Perfect present perfect is about an experience which happened from a time in the past until now usually just an experience from your life so from birth until now, for example, you want to say I in my life Did the IELTS exam I have that experience and this becomes I have done the IELTS test the form for I you we they have or fahisha it has and The past participle or verb 3 you can call it of that verb Do did done have done? verb 3, but remember with present perfect You're not giving specific details about the experience just that you did it Again from a past time until right now So this could include today this week times which are still happening So I have eaten dinner last night No that no because last night is finished, but today today is still happening. For example Have something to eat You want to know hmm? Did they have something to eat? Today from the beginning of today until now it's present perfect. So she'll say Have you had anything to eat today? Remember today that's still continuing. She's asking from the beginning of today until now and her answer can be I've had a cherry you can contract have I've Had so when you see have had it's talking about Something happening from a past time Until now, how about the negative? I Haven't had anything haven't had that's the negative remember. He she it Hasn't had When you start talking about the details, you're talking about specific things specific times Then you change the past simple. For example. Oh my god. Have you been to Brazil? That's present perfect. By the way. Yeah, I've been to Brazil. Oh my god. When did you go? That's past simple. I'm asking about a specific time. Cool. Thanks. I went last year last year Well, that's a specific time. Who did you go with I went with m
Well, that's a specific time. Who did you go with I went with my family You're really weird. So experiences from a past time until now present perfect the specific times and the details past simple and Finally had had it's really not difficult. I promise stay here. Don't don't go any Example question. Where did you go on your holiday last month? That's a specific time So past simple he went to London now. He wants to know was it your first time? And He wants to say no the year before he had a holiday, how does he say that You can say go on a holiday you can also say have a holiday So, why did we use had-had? Well, this is the past perfect. This talks about an experience before a past experience the form Is always the verb had I you we they he she it always had and again the verb three in this case have had had so what he's saying is this last month, I had a holiday to London, but before that I Had had a holiday to London last year So this action? happened before this action and Notice, they're connected. That's it. Those are the two reasons you use past perfect this action happened before a past action and They're connected. That's why we use past perfect. If I show you in a negative it might make more sense Okay, let's imagine that holiday was his first time to London and he Got lost because he doesn't know this city and it can get confusing so Oh Did you like London I got lost because I hadn't been there before this happened in the past anything that relates to before this time and if it's connected Then we use that Past perfect tense, very very importantly. These two should be connected or related somehow this is the reason for this and we know that this happened first and the question form I Went to London Wow, how do you been before so again remember past perfect? It talks about something which happened or didn't happen Before a past event. That's it. Oh and contractions. I Had I'd I'd been before so you'll notice with past perfect often you'll see it with words like before or already Yeah, I'd already been So words like before or already those often go with past perfect because you're talking about something Which happened before a past action? Ok, I want to make this clear for you. So let's put all of those tenses in one situation So a couple asking each other questions We start with a past simple When did you break up with your ex? This is past simple because it's a specific time when? We broke up in September again specific time September Past simple but wait, there's drama He's thinking from a past time September until now We've been together since September Since September until now that's present perfect, and he wants to know what happened first the breakup of Them being together what happened first, he needs to use a past perfect question Had that relationship ended before we got together did this happen first That relationship finished before we got together So because she used past perfect that indicates that happened first So actually we don't need that sentence in Fact we don't even need Before we don't need to say that why Because past perfect already implies that that happened first Had that relationship finished before we got together Yes, it had finished. Oh Yes it had So, okay I hope you understand now how to use had have has Have had and had had so write your own examples positives negatives and questions in the comments I'll correct you and don't worry if this is all very confusing
I'll correct you and don't worry if this is all very confusing to you It's not just you when I have a class I'll usually do a few lessons on past perfect before moving on So if you're still a bit confused, don't worry watch again take it slow. You will get there. I promise And if you need extra extra English practice You can join this channel as a member or join my patreon page.

What english accent do you speak actually? For me, this is the best british accent so far. My english is not too good, but with this accent i can catch most of the words you say. Its very clear and understandable.
I have an advanced student currently learning present and past perfect, so this video popping up on my timeline was quite fortunate! It's interesting to see how someone else explains tenses. Love your channel 😊
Dear Aly, I've been watching your video since I was in Indonesia trying to familiarise myself with cool british accents while waiting the intake of my master study in the UK. Now, I'm at Uni of Southampton and very happy to keep watching your video. Even I am inspired to be a UA-camr. 😄😄😄 I owe my thanks to you.
Hi papa cool English Teacher... I've been watching this video for several times and I've got your explanation easily but.. when I tried to practice them, it's gone, it has been blew away by the wind from my mind. (Please correct my sentences, i would be very grateful to get correction from sweet handsome English teacher Papa Aly... Love you 300 🎉🎊)
Hi, Aly! How do you do? May I ask a question? What is the meaning of the sentence: James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher? Wow! There are eleven hads in that sentence.
Hakikaten hatırı sayılır öğretmenlerden birisiniz. Kendinize has mizahınızla anlatım tarzınızı o kadar çok beğeniyorum ki, tek solukta ingilizcedeki bütün zamanları öğrendim.
PostCulture Native English speaker here. An example of this would be if you were having a nap and someone called your phone, woke you up & you answered. They ask you “what’s up” or “what are you doing?” and a common answer, at least here in America would be “I’m having a nap” even though I already woke up. Let me know if that helps.
Buğra Keskinlioğlu Good question. There are several ways to get the idea across. “I’m having a nap” and “I’m napping” or the past tense “I was having a nap” and “I was napping” are all fine ways of saying the same idea. :)
Mason Keys In the video He said yes it had finished Shouldn't it be it had been finished Like passive Because "our relation finished" don't make sense but " our relation is finished" makes sense Correct me please
@@aroundtheworld1894 Both "our relationship finished" and "our relationship is finished" make sense. But the correct form is definitely "it had finished", because "it had been finished" would imply someone had done it ("someone had finished something so that something had been finished by someone"), yet it is never mentioned (in that very sentence) that the relationship had been finished by "someone"
I never have had a great teacher like you! I always had search for someone whom explains and clears my mind.... I enjoy your way, your voice.... it's so good to have got you! aaamm.... by the way, I've watched this video almost one hundred times, I think I'm improving little by little. thank you for being here on youtube Aly!
Hi every one, I'm from Bogotá Colombia, I have see a lot of UA-cam channels about English, but this is the best channel and the teacher, he Is very funny, thank you PAPA ENGLISH, I am learning a lot of English whith you!! keep it Up 👍
I kept to skip this video until I find time and now I'm watching it , wow I've had been waiting for this lesson and you had had explained it perfectly. Thank you.
I'd like to know: "have you had anything to eat today?" and "Do you have something to eat today?" are equal? Ali! You are my favorite teacher. I'm really improve my english after you. Thank you!
IMO,First expression is you asking the person whether they've eaten something or not while in the second you are asking that person do they have something in their possession to eat( u may be asking coz u want to eat)
Great explanations! Very easy to understand and make it more simple. Two examples to practice: I have been hungry all day! I had gone to my Portuguese classes before I went to university.
For some reason, I always forget to put the second had in "had had" 🤣🤣🤣. "I would have gone to Connemara National Park (Ireland) if I had HAD more time."
I went to see my girlfriend but I didn't find her anywhere and someone told me she had left me! we've been together for two years however now we broke up
You're not together now, so use past simple. "We WERE together for two years" and then "we HAVE BROKEN up" will be present perfect cos you're not giving specific details, just that it happened
@@papateachme so the correct is I went to see my girlfriend but I didn't find her anywhere and someone told me she had left me! we were together for two years however now we've broken up is that correct now?
Before I watch your video, I have clicked my subscription to many English related channels, but I haven't seen it a few times. You are so funny and easy to explain, so I always wait for the video to appear. Thank you so much.
@@mrrodriguezgonzalez5260 nap is not sleeping i think. it's half in real, and half in dream.... and sleeppy man can answere the questions.... may be like this - "get out...i'm having a nap" )))
@@mrrodriguezgonzalez5260 Just like we can talk about future with present tense we can do that the same thing with that. For example: "I am going to London tomorrow." Time is present continuous but real action that mentioned is in the future. So you can use present continuous for the action in the future sometimes like when in this situation.
I had watched a bunch of videos related to this subject before I ran into your channel. Your explanation is amazing . I’ve learned much from you today 😁best Teacher Aly🤗
You are brillant ! I wish I had access to such lessons when I started learning English. Thank you for your clear explanations and examples. I sure keep learning and this is great! 😄

You explain it better than my teachers, thanks a lot
This video hits at each level beginner intermediate and advanced so if you're thinking
The verb have it's easy. Give me have had that's more difficult then skip to this time, but if you're thinking
Have had that's easy. That's like baby stuff
Give me had had that ones difficult
Then skip to this time or if life is very confusing and you just want to cry. Don't worry. You'll be fine
I love you. You're doing great. Just watch from now
So the verb have it works like a normal verb like do or go or drink and
in the present simple form, it looks like this I you we they
Have he she it has?
have is usually for possession or
actions which collocate linked to the verb have for example, I
Have a sister remember for he she it
She has a dog hmm
with possession in schools
they teach you this however with possession it's much more common much more natural to
Say it like this. I have got a sister
She has got a dog more natural more common is with the contraction
I've got I've got a sister she's got she's got a dog. So if you're talking about possession
Use have got it's much more common. It's much more natural
Have is not just for possession also actions collocate linked with have for example
Little sleep is called a nap and we say have a nap. Okay
For this let's use present continuous
if it's happening now now now
It's present continuous
Two important things one
don't forget the verb be and
ING with that verb
Secondly, you won't use present continuous or any
continuous tense
With possessions, for example, I'm having a dog
No, but this is an action you can use actions in continuous tenses
So I'm having a nap. That's fine. It's happening now Oh
a common mistake with have
Especially for Latin language speakers when you talk about your age
Don't say for
example I
have
20 years old. No, it's not the verb half
you are
20 years old that is a really common mistake. So don't make it. Let's use have in the negative. I you we they
Don't have he she it
Doesn't have for example
You don't have good hair now, I realize I know anyone to judge hair
However, I think we can all agree
That's not good. But I mean still it's not nice
and
Of course the form in he she it she doesn't have a heart
The common mistake I hear with this is this
You haven't good hair. I
Haven't a dog. This is really old-fashioned
No one says it I don't know why schools teach it these days. Just I guess
Stop saying I haven't
Okay questions
For I you we they it's do pronoun have but remember I said with possessions
it's much better much more natural to say have you got
Have you got a dog and then for he she it
Does he or she or it have a dog but again
You can change this. It might sound better might sound more natural to say has
he got
Has he got a dog so for possessions that sounds better sounds more natural
some of you are thinking
Hmm. Can I say have you a dog has he a dog?
That no, don't do that
This is all present tense. Okay, but
Had that's the simple past of half. So I you we they had and
You will love this. He she it also
Had I know i'm sata2. So other actions which collocates would have like
interview shower chat when talking in the simple past use had
He had a shower it's brilliant it never changes and the question form
For all pronouns doesn't change did you I wiII they he she it
have
breakfast for example and the negative form
Didn't have again this doesn't change with any pronoun. I you we they he she it
Always didn't have did you have breakfast? No, I didn't have time
I told you that for possession have got is the most common form, right?
But not in past
for past possessions don't say
Hadn't got no just say this one. I didn't have
have also is an auxilary verb you need this in perfect tenses and
It's a little bit more difficult, but don't worry
I promise it's not that bad have had this is used in present. Perfect
present perfect is about an experience which happened from a time in the past until
now
usually just an experience from your life so from birth until now, for example, you want to say I
in my life
Did the IELTS exam I have that experience and this becomes I
have done the IELTS test the form for I you we they have or fahisha it has and
The past participle or verb 3 you can call it of that verb
Do did done have done?
verb 3, but remember
with present perfect
You're not giving specific details about the experience just that you did it
Again from a past time until right now
So this could include today this week times which are still happening
So I have eaten dinner last night
No that no because last night is finished, but today today is still happening. For example
Have something to eat
You want to know hmm? Did they have something to eat?
Today from the beginning of today until now it's present perfect. So she'll say
Have you had anything to eat today?
Remember today that's still continuing. She's asking from the beginning of today
until now and her answer can be I've
had a cherry you can contract have I've
Had so when you see have had it's talking about
Something happening from a past time
Until now, how about the negative? I
Haven't had anything haven't had that's the negative remember. He she it
Hasn't had
When you start talking about the details, you're talking about specific things specific times
Then you change the past simple. For example. Oh my god. Have you been to Brazil?
That's present perfect. By the way. Yeah, I've been to Brazil. Oh my god. When did you go?
That's past simple. I'm asking about a specific time. Cool. Thanks. I went last year last year
Well, that's a specific time. Who did you go with I went with m
Well, that's a specific time. Who did you go with I went with my family
You're really weird. So
experiences from a past time until now
present perfect the specific times and the details past simple and
Finally had had it's really not difficult. I promise stay here. Don't don't go any
Example question. Where did you go on your holiday last month? That's a specific time
So past simple he went to London now. He wants to know was it your first time?
And
He wants to say no the year before he had a holiday, how does he say that
You can say go on a holiday you can also say have a holiday
So, why did we use had-had?
Well, this is the past perfect. This talks about an experience
before a past experience the form
Is always the verb had I you we they he she it always
had and again the verb three in this case have had had so what he's saying is this
last month, I had a holiday to London, but before that I
Had had a holiday to London last year
So this action?
happened before this action and
Notice, they're connected. That's it. Those are the two reasons you use past perfect
this action happened before a past action and
They're connected. That's why we use past perfect. If I show you in a negative it might make more sense
Okay, let's imagine that
holiday was his first time to London and he
Got lost because he doesn't know this city and it can get confusing
so
Oh
Did you like London I got lost because I hadn't been there before this happened in the past
anything that relates to before this time and if it's connected
Then we use that
Past perfect tense, very very importantly. These two should be connected or related somehow
this is the reason for this and we know that this happened first and
the question form I
Went to London Wow, how do you been before so again remember past perfect?
It talks about something which happened or didn't happen
Before a past event. That's it. Oh and contractions. I
Had I'd
I'd been before so you'll notice with past perfect
often you'll see it with words like
before or already
Yeah, I'd already been
So words like before or already those often go with past perfect because you're talking about something
Which happened before a past action?
Ok, I want to make this clear for you. So let's put all of those tenses in
one situation
So a couple asking each other questions
We start with a past simple
When did you break up with your ex? This is past simple because it's a specific time when?
We broke up in September again specific time
September
Past simple but wait, there's drama
He's thinking from a past time September until now
We've been together since September
Since September until now that's present
perfect, and he wants to know what happened first the breakup of
Them being together what happened first, he needs to use a past perfect question
Had that relationship ended before we got together did this happen first
That relationship finished before we got together
So because she used past perfect that indicates that happened first
So actually we don't need
that sentence in
Fact we don't even need
Before we don't need to say that why
Because past perfect already implies that that happened first
Had that relationship finished before we got together
Yes, it had finished. Oh
Yes it had
So, okay
I hope you understand now how to use had have has
Have had and had had so write your own examples positives negatives and questions in the comments

You are a good teacher and a creative artist 👍👍👍
Well done 👍
You are a great teacher... Pictures, fun you have got a perfect sense of humour... Thanks for your awesome videos..
What english accent do you speak actually?
For me, this is the best british accent so far.
My english is not too good, but with this accent i can catch most of the words you say. Its very clear and understandable.
Normally londers people usually speak as him
@@williamrivers5903 yes, sounds beautiful
Tem, Thank Aly, you are the best teacher!
Omg.I can't understand teachers who speaks my native language.But I understand you!
Just amazing:) 10 years of learning english and I've got enlightened now. I will play the video to my son:D
You're the best teacher ever! I wish you were my teacher😢❤️
It seems like you wanted him too
I have an advanced student currently learning present and past perfect, so this video popping up on my timeline was quite fortunate! It's interesting to see how someone else explains tenses. Love your channel 😊
You're one of my favourite teacher ......i am a begginer of english and you help me alot ....so at last thank you sir
Thanks dude! Glad it's helping!
@@papateachme did i don't made any english mistake in my comment ??
@@harshitsharma7355 you made a lot of mistakes dude in your last sentence. 😊
harshit sharma did I do any mistakes in my comment )
@@AbhishekMishra-zs3my oh! Yes i made spelling mistake #beginner oops
Dear Aly, I've been watching your video since I was in Indonesia trying to familiarise myself with cool british accents while waiting the intake of my master study in the UK. Now, I'm at Uni of Southampton and very happy to keep watching your video. Even I am inspired to be a UA-camr. 😄😄😄 I owe my thanks to you.
Hi papa cool English Teacher... I've been watching this video for several times and I've got your explanation easily but.. when I tried to practice them, it's gone, it has been blew away by the wind from my mind.
(Please correct my sentences, i would be very grateful to get correction from sweet handsome English teacher Papa Aly... Love you 300 🎉🎊)
Take it easy, You will 👍
3000*😂👀
Has been blown away
I haven't had such a beautiful session on "has/have had" in my learning journey.
You've got an amazing method of teaching 👍you're the best for sure😍
Thanks dude
I am an English teacher and you are really fun to watch. I am using you clips whenever I finish a subject!
Hi, Aly! How do you do? May I ask a question? What is the meaning of the sentence: James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher? Wow! There are eleven hads in that sentence.
Where did you get this sentence
An intensive lisntening for a long period of time, now I can distinguish the difference between these form of verbs. Thanks ally
Omg I need thiiisss! Thanks ever so much Alyyyy!
Hakikaten hatırı sayılır öğretmenlerden birisiniz. Kendinize has mizahınızla anlatım tarzınızı o kadar çok beğeniyorum ki, tek solukta ingilizcedeki bütün zamanları öğrendim.
I have a question about 'i'm having a nap". Technicaly, how can i tell "i'm having a nap" if i'm sleeping?
PostCulture Native English speaker here. An example of this would be if you were having a nap and someone called your phone, woke you up & you answered. They ask you “what’s up” or “what are you doing?” and a common answer, at least here in America would be “I’m having a nap” even though I already woke up. Let me know if that helps.
@@masonkeys can we say just "napping" or "nap"?
Buğra Keskinlioğlu Good question. There are several ways to get the idea across. “I’m having a nap” and “I’m napping” or the past tense “I was having a nap” and “I was napping” are all fine ways of saying the same idea. :)
Mason Keys In the video
He said yes it had finished
Shouldn't it be it had been finished
Like passive
Because "our relation finished" don't make sense but " our relation is finished" makes sense
Correct me please
@@aroundtheworld1894 Both "our relationship finished" and "our relationship is finished" make sense. But the correct form is definitely "it had finished", because "it had been finished" would imply someone had done it ("someone had finished something so that something had been finished by someone"), yet it is never mentioned (in that very sentence) that the relationship had been finished by "someone"
i would say only,he is just amazing literally....best instructor ever with great sense of humor and teaching skills.
It’s was nice talk about age, because in Brazil it’s normal say “have”
Eu tenho 20 anos ( I have 20 years) ✖️
Eu tenho 20 anos (I’m 20 years) ✔️
Veeeery common mistake!
Same in Poland. We use „have” as well.
Same thing in arabic, when we talk about age, we use "have"
Love from morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Hmm olha só um brasileiro
I never have had a great teacher like you! I always had search for someone whom explains and clears my mind.... I enjoy your way, your voice.... it's so good to have got you! aaamm.... by the way, I've watched this video almost one hundred times, I think I'm improving little by little. thank you for being here on youtube Aly!
I had realized that I need to burn all my university knowledges) See you on twitch ;)
yeah i feel you man😅
Hi every one, I'm from Bogotá Colombia, I have see a lot of UA-cam channels about English, but this is the best channel and the teacher, he Is very funny, thank you PAPA ENGLISH, I am learning a lot of English whith you!! keep it Up 👍
I hadn't understood past perfect before i watched this video
x2
Bro you are the best English teacher over here, love you style, so logic so complete so fun
Thanks bud
I use has/have/had in which sentence I feel comfortable with 😂
In any sentence*
Same here *lol 😂
In my school I only learned has/have with perfect tense... Although I use it for other tenses also,but still
😂😂😂
I kept to skip this video until I find time and now I'm watching it , wow I've had been waiting for this lesson and you had had explained it perfectly. Thank you.
I think it's better to say, "I've been waiting for this lesson, and you have explained well on video."
Am I right ? Teacher.
@@akash7554
Ah yes, I think you are right :) I made a mistake.
Can I say “I haven’t got “ or “I don’t have “
I'd like to know: "have you had anything to eat today?" and "Do you have something to eat today?" are equal?
Ali! You are my favorite teacher. I'm really improve my english after you. Thank you!
IMO,First expression is you asking the person whether they've eaten something or not while in the second you are asking that person do they have something in their possession to eat( u may be asking coz u want to eat)
-Did you watch this video till the end?
-Yes I did.
-what about coments?
-well, I had red most of them before video came to the middle.
Yo ...😂😂
You are the best English teacher ever
I wish I had had more time these years, I had been working too much until last week, now I can say I have been very busy
Amazing examples! ❤️❤️
@@papateachme thanks! ^_^
You are Amazing!!! I am studying english in the college and our teacher shares us your videos! Regards from Argentina🇦🇷
Nice! Tell your teacher that they are awesome then! 🤟😁
I loveeee your t-shirt!
You're a ravenclaw❤
It's man's greatest treasure
@@papateachme I'm not from Ravenclaw, I'm Hufflepuff but at least we are friends hahaha😄😝
The transporter teaching grammar!? Heck yeah!
Guys.. He is a ravenclaw!!! And ravenclaws are intelligent ones.. Who agrees!!!? 😇
Great explanations! Very easy to understand and make it more simple.
Two examples to practice:
I have been hungry all day!
I had gone to my Portuguese classes before I went to university.
For some reason, I always forget to put the second had in "had had"
🤣🤣🤣. "I would have gone to Connemara National Park (Ireland) if I had HAD more time."
Cristinglish That's a conditional sentence !
Specifically its 3rd conditional
tbh we almost always leave out the second "had" when we're speaking
Incredible teacher
"I've got" is UK English but "I have" is US English, you should make that distinction. Great explanations otherwise :)
a challenge: what does "a head has a head that has a head head" MEEEAN!!!
😂
Absolutely loved the way he talks
I went to see my girlfriend but I didn't find her anywhere and someone told me she had left me! we've been together for two years however now we broke up
You're not together now, so use past simple. "We WERE together for two years" and then "we HAVE BROKEN up" will be present perfect cos you're not giving specific details, just that it happened
@@papateachme thanks
@@papateachme so the correct is
I went to see my girlfriend but I didn't find her anywhere and someone told me she had left me! we were together for two years however now we've broken up
is that correct now?
Perfect explanation.All the examples make me understand even better.
'Have had', Had had' never existed for me before. 😂😂
Before I watch your video, I have clicked my subscription to many English related channels, but I haven't seen it a few times. You are so funny and easy to explain, so I always wait for the video to appear. Thank you so much.
Question, how am I going to say, I'm having a nap, if I'm actually sleeping...?
Hahaha
You only say that, before taking the nap
@@NekomiSon So, instead of saying, "I'm going to have a nap" I say I'm having a nap?
@@mrrodriguezgonzalez5260 nap is not sleeping i think. it's half in real, and half in dream.... and sleeppy man can answere the questions.... may be like this - "get out...i'm having a nap" )))
@@mrrodriguezgonzalez5260 Just like we can talk about future with present tense we can do that the same thing with that. For example: "I am going to London tomorrow." Time is present continuous but real action that mentioned is in the future. So you can use present continuous for the action in the future sometimes like when in this situation.
Best teacher in English I've been ever seen
I Had many friends with awful grammar
Is this right ???
So you don't have friends with awful grammar anymore?
@@salutarydreams520 actually, I don't Have a friends
I really loved the way you said everyone skips the video if you think it's easy.
But how to say : I had a dog 2years ago .?!
Exactly that 🤘
I had already looked for information about this specific topic but I always was failing, til now, thank so much for helping us out
I learn a lot about how to use English correctly. Thank you.
I had watched a bunch of videos related to this subject before I ran into your channel. Your explanation is amazing . I’ve learned much from you today 😁best Teacher Aly🤗
Thanks a lot.....you have no idea how good your classes are. I’m watching this video again!
Finally someone explained the way I can understand! You’re a great teacher!!
You are brillant ! I wish I had access to such lessons when I started learning English. Thank you for your clear explanations and examples. I sure keep learning and this is great! 😄
I never had had an excellent teacher and lesson
