You are good . Explain to people what's the difference about fruit and fruits . Why do we say Fruit and Vegetables whereas fruit is considered a countable noun?
Hi I enjoyed the lesson, as you mentioned that stative verbs a bit confusing for foreign students, which don't have them as such in their language. Thanks for your helpful lesson
Hi, Dave ! Thank you for the nice lessons. Could you give us a lessons or - ing forms and the differences between them( " nowns , gerunds , edjectives , present participles etc. )
Is it because "french" is a type of stative adjective that we cannot say: "He is looking French"? It is a permanent state not a temporary condition. But we can say "She is looking beautiful tonight". We can also say "I am silly" or I am being silly" but we cannot say "I am being tall", only "I am tall". So can some adjectives only be used with stative verbs?
That is a very logical and reasonable conjecture. I think you are absolutely right. Stative verbs describe states and 'French' is a state, and not something more dynamic like mood (happy, sad etc...). Thanks for leaving these intelligent comments. They are always welcome! And thanks for your interest in my TV show courses. :)
Thank you, great lesson! I have a question: When you say "I regret doing that", are you talking about the past? As far as I know, if it's something you're doing at the moment, you say: "I'll regret doing that". But, what about "I regret to have done that"? Are "I regret doing that" and "I regret to have done that" interchangeable? Or is the second one just incorrect?
So, let's say I'm singing Karaoke. Even though my voice is terrible, I'm having a really good time. I know that in the future I'll (probably) regret doing that because of how terrible my voice was, is. Later, I'll say: I regret to have done that. On the other hand, I know my voice is terrible and I feel so ashamed of it. I feel everyone is looking and laughing at me. I say: I regret doing this. Is that correct?
hello dave I am struggling where to start the course because I consider myself as a beginner. its too confusing because everytime I confront some new terms in all lecture which i hadn't learn before please suggest me a solution
Hello Dave! It's not quite clear what the sentence I REGRET DOING THAT means from the explanation.I understand it as I REGRET THAT I HAVE DONE IT.Is it right?
Simple explanation: Action Verb can be use in Continuous Tense = Start > Stop -She is looking good. (at that moment) StativeVerb can not be use in Continuous Tense = NO Start > NO Stop He looks French (He is being French for whole life)

'I regret doing this' is for present regrets. will regret = future.
