    Great! Contractions are so cool, and important, cause without them you can never be natural in English and sound like a native speaker:)

    • @pssilva3973
      @pssilva3973 4 роки тому

      You diferenciate "the present simple tense" (he/she/it is ) from "the present perfect tense" (she/he/it has or 's) through the context.
      "She/he/it's here" ♦ "She/he/it' [ha]s BEEN here for 3 years.

  • @kareemsalem5547
    @kareemsalem5547 4 роки тому

    somebody's taken my bag = somebody's taking my bag ( we drop the (g) in (ing) . so both of these two sentence have the same pronunciation and anyone will be confused between them.

    • @eddiy841
      @eddiy841 4 роки тому

      Kareem Salem no, they do not have the same pronunciation. *Taken* is pronounced as /ˈteɪkən/ with a schwa and /n/ sound at the end whereas *taking* (yes we drop the g sound at the end) is pronounced as /ˈteɪkɪŋ/ with short i sound (as in it) and the /ŋ/ sound which is NOT the same as the /n/ sound. This two sounds are very similar, and hard to tell the difference if you are not a native speaker.
      To help you hear the difference, think of these two words: “Sin” and “Sing” They’re NOT pronounced the same, the first one has a /n/ sound and the second one a /ŋ/ sound at the end of the word.

    What's the diference of the He is, Contraction/ He's and He has contraction/ He's.

    • @captainhook9056
      @captainhook9056 4 роки тому

      'He has' is used for temporary possession of something and 'he is ' is used if it's permanent.
      Kind of like ser and estar if u know Spanish.

    • @eddiy841
      @eddiy841 4 роки тому

      The difference is the use and tense, one is in present tense or present continuous and the other is present perfect tense. You can tell the difference from context and grammar like she mentioned in the video.
      She/He is:
      When “is” is used as present tense verb of “be”:
      ▫️She’s (She is) a good teacher
      When “Is” is used as an auxiliary/helping verb in present continuous tense (Subject + am/is/are + -ing verb):
      ▫️She’s (She is) teaching English
      She/He has:
      Use the contraction when “she/he has...” is used in Present Perfect (Subject + have/has + past participle):
      ▫️She’s (She has) been teaching English for 10 years
      🔹Ella ha estado (Ella ha estado = She has been) enseñando inglés por 10 años
      “Has” in this sentence is an auxiliary verb.
      Do not contract when have/has is the main verb used to refer to possess, own or hold, etc.
      ✅Correct: She has pretty eyes.
      (Ella tiene unos ojos bonitos)
      ❌Wrong: She’s pretty eyes.

    • @wesleylucas5915
      @wesleylucas5915 4 роки тому

      Hey man
      I usually watch movies with an English subtitle, so I write words I don't understand while I finish watching the movie. After that, I write words in the quizlet app and study those words or expressions. and so, I watch the movies again without sub ...
      It's boring ... but if you do that, you'll understand them.

      Hania Syed actually, it is “My bag is being taken by somebody”, which has the exact same meaning as “Somebody is taking my bag” but written in passive voice.
      For yours to be correct, you need to add “been” BUT it won’t be in the same tense as the first one. It Would be in present perfect tense.
      Somebody has taken my bag (active voice)
      My bag has been taken by somebody (passive voice)

      @@eddiy841 Then, what is the passive of 'somebody takes my bag', isn't it correct: My bag is taken by somebody. In the case of simple passive tense.
      For instance, Somebody is taking my bag, its passive is my bag is being taken by somebody, 2. Somebody has taken my bag and its passive is ' My bag has been taken by somebody. 3. Somebody takes my bag and its passive is ' My bag is taken by somebody.
