“I had learnt about Past Perfect before I watched this video. 😁 But this video made it clearer to me.”
I hope this sentence is correct.
Thanks. 🎉

Nice! ✌️🤓

[@newloggers]

Hi,Aly👋Thanks for the lesson. The next time, I'd like to study future perfect continuous 🙏Happy Sunday🤞😊My example; In 2015, when we found out that my grandma had Alzheimer's, we were shocked. Because we'd never expected such a thing.

[@user16628]

That was really really useful , I've finally understood it, so I can use it confidently, Thank you so much❤ you're the best

[@unabyband1263]

Thanks, Aly. Before watching this video, I was sure that past perfect is mostly used in the detective series during interrogations, lol🙂

I studied in Bristol in 2020 and I had never been there before. Bristol is awesome by the way.
By the moment I got my head around the English tenses, I had become an old man.

[@triple444gaming9]

Love your teaching style..Thank you so much❤

[@i.o.3563]

Thanks, really a nice one!
Would be great to watch about proper money grammar. When to use plural like millions of dollars, when use just singular like 2 million, and so on.

Surprisingly hilariously I had have this lesson before from an American teacher. And he also said he wasn't sure what's going on 😂

1:32 There's a mistake. It should be "Neither of us had gone into the room."

[@papateachme]

See you ARE smarter than an American ✌️🤓

[@hrabiadrakuloa5045]

The stories are funny, the characters in them are cool, but, could you please give more examples to help the non native speakers intuitively learn this?

[@qadeerkhan4295]
