    You made a really nice video. If you could upgrade your captions, it would be awesome. Because the automatic captions your video has, I am unable to use your video in my classroom. Automatic captions do not provide sufficient accessibility to students who have a sight or hearing disability. Please consider fixing up your captions. Thanks.

    Ronaldo played for real madrid last times. And now he plays for juventus .He had played for real madrid for 12 years before he moved to juventus
    He has been playing for juventus for 4 years until now
    Hi Mr paul
    I'm confused to use the present perfect. My question; Is this sentence correct?
    Ronaldo has played for real madrid for 12 years
    Please from Bali, Indonesia 🙏

    dear teacher you explain so clearly! But do you often use this difficult tense form?

    • @Learnamericanenglishonline
      @Learnamericanenglishonline  7 років тому +3

      I do. But not everyone knows how to use it the right way, or they don't know when to use it. I make mistakes with it myself.

    • @lebenlive319
      @lebenlive319 7 років тому +1

      LearnAmericanEnglishOnline yeah you are absolutely right. But what kind of mistake with myself? I didn't get it. You are perfect! Do you have an instagram ? If you don't mind I'd like to talk to there too! You are so intelligent! I am also a teacher. But I prefer your teaching way.

    5:35 This is confusing. What do you mean "for some reason"? For what reason? Why did you choose Past Perfect Tense instead of Past Simple Tense? Please, explain. 🤔

    • @mehrdadhoseini2145

      Dina Tursynkhan Because he wants to explain why it happened in the very past. He tries to tell the story that happened in the past.

  • @NehaSingh-og4gd
    @NehaSingh-og4gd 6 років тому +3

    Sir are there any situations when there is no need to use past perfect because i have seen some examples where action is performed before another past but past simple is used in both clause

    • @arshadahmed9802
      @arshadahmed9802 3 роки тому

      Yes you could use both actions in simple past but you need to specify their orders .In past perfect there is no need of it bcoz past perfect indicates the earlier past ,so it's kind of obvious.

    “The plane had left by the time I got to the airport.” Why can’t you just say “the plane left by the time I got to the airport”? The person would still understand what you’re talking about. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I get so confused with this tense.

    • @Sumohano
      @Sumohano 4 роки тому +3

      That way it would mean that at the moment you arrived the plane was taking off. "at the same moment". With the past perfect it means that when you arrived at the airport the plane was already flying. That's the difference. Of course, people will always understand what you mean especially native speakers, but the point is to speak correct English here.

    @عبداللهغيث-ش3ز 2 роки тому

    U said 2 past actions .
    In last example there's 1 past action so why did u used past Perfect ?

    • @Learnamericanenglishonline
      @Learnamericanenglishonline  2 роки тому +1

      It’s because of the negative. There is a difference between the thing that changed and the situation before the change. It’s the difference between the action and the nonaction.
