Hello Ms. Aga: what is the difference between two questions
- What did you do yesterday?
- What were you doing yesterday?
Can I use it interchangeable?
Could you explain them for me how and when to use them?
Thank you.
- What did you do yesterday day? + Is talking about the events or situations in the past that completely finished.
- What were you doing yesterday?
+ It shows us that this question is asking for the answer which relates to the past events that were happening nom stop nor have not finished in thes past.
I love yr teaching, thank you.
Thank you!
Respected Ma'am, being the greatest grammarian of this generation, you are earnestly entreated with folded to let me know which of the following sentences is correct --(A) It had been raining all night (B)It rained all night.
Hi, I’m a student too, I think that in the first sentence you are still in the night, it’s like
(--raining all night-)
------you---
In the second sentence, it’s just the past:
(--rained all night--)
--------------you

I know that in past perfect two action hapen one before another but what i want to know which of them in in past perfect and which of them in the past also what i knkw that always after before we use past simple is it right and thanks fur explanation
I have to watch this video twice to undersatnd it😭😂💞💞.
Thank you for your efforts
You're welcome 😊
Thanks so much ❤
A real english teacher!
Thank you!
Sorry, I am confused. All the videos I saw and websites I visited say that we can use the past perfect even when the word before or after is present in a sentence. can you explain this please. Thanks a lot.
Wow... Maam ur great... Love from India
Oh my gosh!!! , 😂 you're really Godesse about explaining away,...i had asked her phone number before i got out
If there is a clear order of events that happened in the past, we use Past Simple. Events that took place one after another.
But if something happened in the past and we want to say that another event took place and finished earlier than first one, we use Past Perfect.
You make it easy but a foreign student needs to practice a lot to learn the present and past perfect.
Tysm reallyyyyy!
I got it teacher, thank you ;)
You’re welcome! 😊
perfect
Thank you Aga from Ameen❤❤❤
Excellent!
Thank you!
Yes, I understood.
thanks
You’re welcome! 😊
So when we use adverb like 5 minutes ago yesterday we don't need to use past perfect but when we don't say it we use past perfect
great!
Thanks you so much i understand but i still have problem i mean that in past perfect WE have two action one happen first in past simple and thé second happen in past perfect IS it right but you Make me confuse in thé examples of that had forgotten to but bread it IS this thé first action and thé second IS i didn't Make a sandwich this morning or vice vi
Thxx
I think "my train left when I got to the station" more than me arriving first and the train leaving after that, it would be more I arrived and the train left right at that moment. Simultaneous actions, more than me arriving as a first action and the train leaving after. Otherwise, I would have taken the train and wouldn't have missed it 😅
Great sharing my friend 703👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊 8:43
Your effort is very much appriciated. But do you mean that we can't use/ before/ or /after /with the past perfect at all ? For we have been told by a teacher /not native/to use p.p. either before BEFORE or after AFTER.
Please, tell me for you are trusted.
Past perfect can also be used.
The sentences "My train left before I got to the station" and "My train had left before I got to the station" both are correct.
The sentence without had left is grammatically correct but the one with had left makes the sequence of events clearer
The one without "had" is commonly used and casual.
The one with "had" is more precise and emphasizes that one action happened before the other. It highlights event sequence clearly, which is important in formal grammar contexts
@@rubina1377 thank you so much
@@AmeraAlawer Np! I just had been studying grammar alot lately because I'm participating in an olympiad. I always mess up in competitions and stuff.. I don't know how it will go..
تصدع القاعده 🥲
what is the meaning of Aga?
It’s the teacher’s name
Стало намного понятнее!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi everyone. I don't like falling down off my bike. Is it the right sentence? I learn English, but I am very stupid. What do I need to do? Have a good day.😊
🙌
This morning i had gone shopping before work ?
👍🏼👍🏼
❤😮🎉
My grandfather died before I was born or My grandfather had died before I was born ))
If John Bercow, the former house speaker see this video he will quickly know that you copied the word ORDER from him. 😂
@english_with_aga Hi Aga, in the first example I thought the correct answer was A because, doesn't the word "already" make it clear that you already watched it before? As in the very last example, the word "then" it is enough to make the order clear . At least to me it is the same logic. I look forward to your answer Thank you
It’s still not clear
now I no longer have the ability to solve by heart anymore 😔
"My train had left before I got to the station." This is perfectly correct sentence. I don't get why you confuse your viewer. Of course you don't have to use past perfect in this kind of sentence but it doesn't mean that this sentence is incorrect.
I don't understand
I didn't*
Can we say that…
the dinner had been prepared for 30 minutes, I went outside and bought me some vegetables and a bottle of water.
Nicely explained, mam
Wonderful explaination 🎉
Thanks
