    @AbdulQuadirRocks 9 лет назад +1

    Thank you so much for this comprehensive video on the Past Simple.
    I have a question about the verb "transfer". The Oxford dictionary mentions the verb "transfer" to be made of two syllables and 'stressed on the second', in both British and American English, and as such, it writes the past form as "transferred", with two r's. But in this video, you mention it's not stressed on the second syllable.
    Is "transfered" (with a single 'r') correct in British English?
    One more thing. How do I break a word into syllables? I find it really hard to determine how many syllables a word is made up of. Do you happen to have done a video on "syllables"? If not, I would very much appreciate if you do one.

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  9 лет назад +1

      +Abdul Quadir Hello and thanks for the comment and question and sorry for the delay in replying to you. I have been on holiday.
      It was a mistake when I made the video. If you watch the video with the screen annotations, you will see the correction. ("transferred" is the correct form and the second syllable is stressed.)
      If you understand IPA (phonetic transcripts), then it is easier to identify the syllables in a word. I explain IPA here: ruclips.net/video/o8KppNXfx2k/видео.html

    @mariachristodoulou1205 9 лет назад

    Thanks Andrew for the lesson, but I have 2 questions
    1) I read your comment to sui sui08 about the example you have used in the lesson. You mean the example isn't correct?
    2) In the sentence " Yesterday my children were happy because they went to the park " why you use past tense and not past perfect. The reason is the time "yesterday"?

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  9 лет назад

      Maria Christodoulou Hi Maria, thanks for your comment and questions.
      1)No the example is correct. This sentence is correct with either the past perfect or past simple. The past perfect is perhaps slightly better in very strict English grammar but past simple is certainly correct and this example sentence is to learn the correct form.
      2)The context is: the moment they arrived at the park, they became happy and then they stayed happy all day. If they went to the park in the morning and were only happy after, then we could say "Yesterday my children were happy because they had been to the park."
      Best wishes

    Hello. I was wondering what the difference was between these two sentences.
    1. What were you doing at 8 o'clock yesterday?
    2. What did you do at 8 o'clock?
    As I know, Past Continuous refers to an action which was in progress at the specific time. What about simple past? Please let me know if you have enough time.
    What about doing a grammar lesson with comparing past simple and past continuous?

  • @shalmar578
    @shalmar578 2 года назад

    Hi! Thank you so much for this lesson on the past simple!
    I have a question regarding the lesson.
    It's about a when clause and the past simple.
    In one of the parts of the video there's this example sentence :
    _"When Mark woke up, he shaved."_
    And it says that Mark woke up first and then he shaved. So the woke up was finished first.
    But can I use the same structure, which is the past simple in both of the clauses, to mean that two actions happened at the same time ?
    For example:
    Let's say, I worked as a manager for 5 years and at the same time my friend studied French for 5 years. I would like to tell the listener that I worked at the same time as my friend studied French and for the same length of time (5 years).
    To express this idea, Is it possible to use the past simple in both of the clauses ?
    The sentence : _"When I worked as a manager, my friend studied French."_
    Is it possible ?
    Many Thanks 🙏

    Thank you so much for these wonderful, useful and important posts, but I think there is one more use of the simple past tense that you haven't mentioned here, that itis :to use it for hapitual and repeated actions in the past.Thanks.

    Hi Mr. Andrew and thanks for the great video.I have two questions:
    If I want to write a comment or a complement about your videos, should I use the past or the present tense?
    How could I know this verb is of one syllable or more and stressed in the first or final syllable?
    Please explain it to me or tell me if there is any book can help.
    Regards

      amel aliraq Hello again. 1) There are lots of ways you can give a compliment about a video. It depends on what we want to say and the context. Examples:"I really like this video." (present simple) or "These videos are really helping me." (present continuous) or even "This video helped me prepare for my IELTS exam." (past simple)
      2)If you learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), then you will be able to read and understand the phonetic transcripts (including syllables) in dictionaries. I have a video about this: International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) | English Pronunciation

    As always a great explanation, Andrew! I am just wondering about the last example which is, my parents didn't like my new car. Why do we use didn't. it seems like the action didn't occurred at specific time. I mean I am not able to identify, from the sentence, that his parents decided that they don't like his new car at the specific moment. Isn't it my parents haven't liked my new car, because we don't know when the decision occurred. Again, thanks a lot for the professionally made videos.

    "transfer" stressed in the second syllable and hence when used in past tense, the final "r" must be doubled before -ed: transferred

    Hi,I'm from Myanmar.Can you explain me difference between Past simple and Past perfect continuous(ex.I studied eng for 3 yrs or I had been studying eng for 3 yrs),plz.Thanks in advanced,Andrew🤩🤩

    • @joaoandre7488
      @joaoandre7488 2 года назад

      Hi Ohn Mar, the difference between Past Simple and Past perfect continuous is: if you say I studied Engineering for 3 years that’s mean this action is finished, you no longer study, you stopped. But if you say I had been studying that’s mean you continue studying and you have evidence that you are studying you didn’t finish to study. To sum up: past simple is for finished action in the past whereas, Past Perfect continuous is for actions happen in the Past but didn’t finish, continuous in the past, had been happening. Have a nice day. Hi from London .
