Can you give an extra lesson on tenses...? So that we don't mix it with past or present. Your lessons are really very good and helping and understandable too.
You can say I have been to japan so many times. But you can't say last year, yesterday, 2 months ago, 3 days ago, 5 hours ago, etc. You can't say, last year, I have been to Japan. Instead, you say, Last year I went to Japan. and that is the fact whether you accept it or not. Love you, son.

Native English speaker here. I'm blown away at how difficult some of this is. It comes so naturally to me that I totally forget that English grammar is sometimes a tad confusing!
As a former ESL teacher and speaker myself, I’ve always found English grammar to be fascinating given all these rules and exceptions that make the language what it is.
I'm learning English 'cause I love the English language as well as the British culture. I'm really enthusiastic about everything British or even Irish. Also American, to a lesser degree, though. Greetings from Spain, Tom...
Tom, thank you for your great video lessons. I teach English to help my students pass their English exams with flying colours. I've been teaching English for 25 years by now.
I'm learning English to be public speaker.I have many thing to share.....that is why I'm continuously digging things that are related with language.I'm teenage.I have strong faith on my vision.And learning English is the bridge which will transefer me to that destiny. I'm so interested by your channel.. .....go ahead.. ..you are a good teacher next to......keep teaching
I’m learning English since 2013 at University and I’m an undergraduate student of the English Language Teaching and translation program in Chile. I just have discovered your RUclips Channel and I’m very happy. Your videos are so interesting and enjoyable that I could watch them all day. The mistake I used to make was writing consist in instead of consist of. However I still have problems with prepositions. A big hug for you Tom from Chile!
I just noticed, why i watch these videos again and again. I lived in the UK for 8 years and think of myself as a proficient english speaker, even though with a german accent. But i simply love Tom's cockney accent. He is really one of the geezers, innit?
I am learning English since I was 12 years old at school. I like to learn to meet new people and travel. I always made mistakes with since/for... now I 've finally understood them
I have been learning English for 5 years. I have been learning English sincec2005. Above the both sentenced are correct. Because for is used for period of time whereas since is used for point of time, or a begining of time such as, since 1996, since childhoodetc. And for 2 hours , 2 days, or 2 years etc.
Hello! Thanks for your videos, they all are really interesting! The example you used "being married with/to"..well I'm Italian and in Italian we say "being married with" and it is very hard to speak English THINKING in English rather than translating what would you say in Italian! I think this is the major cause of my errors! I find your videos helpful and polite! Thank you again!
I'm learning English to teach others and I've been learning English for about twenty years :) Happy to have you, you're amazing. I think I'll show your videos to my students if you agree ofc :)
im always advised by other teachers not to repeat the sentences twice. they tell its not professional and annoying. watching your videos is a real pleasurefor me. your style of presenting the information suits me perfectly and im not that bad.
Hi Tom, thank you for the video and I found this very useful. I'm learning English to improve my English test score for migration. I have been learning English since I was 4 years old. I used to make mistakes when applying the present perfect tense and the past simple tense into English writing or speaking. The golden rule to remember is that you use past simple to talk about things that are finished in the past. Present perfect tense is used when you are talking about things that have been happening from past to present. :)
I have been learning english since I was eight years old. I started learning English because it was obligatory in school. But I am continuing learning English to communicate with people that have different mother tongue than me or to watch movies/tv series without subtitles or even to get a job. Another reason why I am learning english is to become an english teacher if I fail to become a german teacher :P
I learn english to improve mine, since i like traveling to Scotland as much as i can. I've been studying english for 32 years (I started at 9 and i'm 41 now) i love your videos because i can learn little important things that are not taught at school/ private lessons (unless you have a native teacher)
I'm learning English since 2007. Why? Because I want to travel the world, to work as a nurse in NYC. I think, that English is the most popular language to communicate in almost every country. Thanks for your videos, greetings from Poland 😀
I've lerned English since fourth grade or something, it's my second language though ( first lanugage is swedish since im a swede). Nowadays im 16 and goes " första ring på gymnasiet" witch probably equals your second last year in high school. I lern English because it's fun and also it's easier to travel to other countries when you know really good English. And I Love travel!! And shoutout to you for being usch an incredible teacher and for sharing your English knowledge with us, keep goding and good luck!
I have been relearning english since last january! 17 years ago, I used to have the english class in hight school. Afterwards, I was struggling all the time to improve my english level without any serious results.. so I just gave up ! Nowdays I realize I have made a big mistake, this is why I'm watching a lot of coaching videos to help me better understand the english rules (grammatical structures, pronunciation techniques, verb tenses...). By the way, I'm still confused by which preposition can be used and also by past simple/present perfect !!
Nice, Tom! I've ever been to London. I studied at the Institute of Education, where I got my master degree in Education. It was a really good experience. I'm keen on your job. Cheers!
In Viet Nam, we study English as a compulsory subject. I am 19 and i have studied English since i was 8. I used to think that it's not important to learn another language, except my mother tongue. I was lazy and i'm still bad at English. But now i realize that being good at English would bring me so many great chances of my life, my career,... especially watching movie without subtitle :))). Thank for all your videos. P/s: I really really love your accent !!
@guynhanhnguyentrinh7448 Your writing is very good. I would only suggest adding an 's' to movie: that is: "watching movies". Much respect to you for your English abilities. That one mistake was minor. I still understood what you meant.
I was suppposed to check videos to work on my IELTS writing and bumped into yours ! The mistake i used to make is saying how do you call that instead of what do you call that. You are great i guess Im gonna check your videos everytime I want to have a break from IELTS ! !
I've been studying English almost immediately after I finished high school, so it lasts almost 5-6 years)) now I enjoy listening your lessons, because I love your pronunciation (that makes me feeling I'm going in a right way). Please, add some more lessons that might be actual for c1/c2 students - some of phrasal verbs, collocations are still complex and poorly set out on RUclips ) I hope someday you'll reach the point of a million subscribers))
Cheers lurii, that's really kind of you to say. Yeah absolutely, what a good idea. Phrasal verbs and collocations are so useful especially when communicating at high levels.
Oh my, Tom...what a bugger it was to explain how one verb tense affects another to my students when I taught in Greece. I'm still not sure they entirely understood them, but they did attain their exam qualifications, bless them. RobertK.
Hi there! I used to make these mistakes: than/then, when/where. They always confused me... I'd say the spelling is sometimes complicated. We just have to deal with it, learn them with sentences.
Another common mistake that many people make is that they forget to put the “a” when talking in singular. For example, “This is _a_ good place”. I’m learning English because I want to study in the UK.
I've been studying English for 10 years in the past. Nowadays I try to keep up with it via correspondence. And watching TV series occasionally without subtitles. Watching your video challenges me mentally - I like the way you teach.
I don't know if you had students doing like me, but I was told I sometimes speak like Yoda from Star Wars. I tend to open the phrase with the direct or indirect complement, then I put the subject and the verb. Like: The third mistake you talked about, it's something I often do.
Another mistake I've found to be common, at least from Filipinos (I don't know about the rest of the world) is something like: One of my favorite Filipino dish is chicken adobo. They pick up on "one" being singular, so they use a singular subject, instead of "one of" meaning part of a group of things, so that group of things would be plural.
Technically, "one" is the subject, which is why the verb is singular ("is", not "are"). The prepositional phrase ("of ... dishes") is adjectival, modifying the subject. But yeah, "dishes" should be plural.
Tom, the most common mistake that I make is related to the use of prepositions "in", "on" and "at". I am alway confusing about what's the correct form, in sentences like: "I saw this product in/on/at the website"; I bought this new shirt in/at/on that shop.
I'm learning English for several reasons First and that's what my college actually studies is to be a translator Second to immigrate , I really want to leave Egypt and live in London Also to be a good English speaker And I want to be fluent enough to study another language like German or spanish 💕 Thank you for the video
What I've learned is that prepositions are the hardest word forms to translate from one language to another. They simply have to be memorized (regrettably).
I'd also have said "I love listening to music". However, I heard a native speaker say "I love to travel". I also remember the songs "I love to love (but my baby just loves to dance)" from Tina Charles or "I love to hate you" from Erasure. So my question is: after "love" (or "like"), is it preferable to use to+verb or verb+ing?
Please , make more videos about Britain and British English with various subjects , topics and from different perspectives , we would love to discover more about the British English and Culture ...Personally , I love the British accent(s) , to say that there are multiple and numerous accents (Cockney is a beautiful one with the sound "a" )
I used to take this mistake "Married with" and one needs to use "Married to" (One needs... yeah? Is it correct?) Ans I also didn't know what right is... Bored or Boring and for what way... Now I know it :) Thanks a lot for your video guide!
I used to say "I'm shorter than him", or "He's better than me", which are very common to even native speakers. In fact, I hear this quite often even on the radio or news. But I learnt that they're both wrong, and should be "I'm shorter than he (is)" and "He's better than I (am)".
I'm learning English to be better in that, and to working in England. Hello from Czech Republic ^^ and thanks for your videos! Sometimes we watch your videos on our english lesson at school. Good work! (and yes, you can repair my mistakes) :D
I used to find it difficult to distinguish the difference between the use of “there is/are” and “there has/have” . Instead of writing : E.g. There are two apples on the table. I would write E.g. There have two apples on the table. Practice helps though.
These are all grammar issues that can be overcome in time. Correct use of the articles may be something that takes much more time and effort to master. From my perspective, the most difficult thing about English, which seems to be pretty simple at first, is the large synonymity (the subtle differences between several words meaning pretty much the same thing) and the collocations and phrases one has to learn by heart and sometimes use in the only correct way possible. Sometimes one still remains nonplussed because proverbs like 'dressed up to the nines' or 'raining cats and dogs' are impossible to understand (fathom) at first. This is a nice channel, good luck!
English is my native language so I can look at these and see how hard some of these might be for new speakers. Learning languages is so tough, saying this as something working my way through Spanish and German.
+cute girl Actually both definitions are correct. 1. Clever. 2. Well-dressed/neat. But I just dont think they use "smart" in conversation to describe "well-dressed".
Well Tom, if there's one thing I totally agree with you is that the main error for non-native English speakers is not to include the "s" on the third-person singular when conjugating verbs. I've been teaching English in Uruguay and Brazil for many years now, and always tell my students that once they get over with this mistake, they're halfway through to fluency. Cheers!
Wow. Same happens in my country too. My classmates always forgot to use 's' in 3rd Person even though we're learning English since 2010(more than a decade).
I’ve been using English to communicate in my everyday life since young. I didn’t realize it’s so difficult to explain the hows and whys in English Language. Anyway, it’s interesting to learn how to explain to others. Keep up the good work!
Tom, hello from cold and beautiful St. Petersburg! I'd like to give a shout out to you for your amazing videos! It's really very useful for learning modern and fresh English. I learn English to communicate with people around the world, to learn different cultures. I'm already have been learning English for 5 years approximately.
thank you very much. your English accent is very clear. I understand every words you are saying. your lessons are brilliant. thank you so much. my difficulties are about using to or ing when there are 2verbs. I'd love to have a lesson on it!
thank you so much, hope that u can make a video about the "British r" specially when it's in the middle of the words... I'm learning English because I love it , 😅no" to" here.. I have been learning English for 1 year.🙂
Speaking about since. I' ve come across this sentence in " The Handmaid's Tale" by Atwood," Since the beginning of war gas is expensive and in short supply". How can this be explained? I know that present simple can be used when speaking about people's feelings as in " He mopes terribly since his wife left". But why gas?
Woww... I made a mistake with the verb "to marry". I thought it was "marry with" cause I was influenced by Portuguese. Correct so it's to say that "sb is married TO sb". Thanks, cheers, Tom!
Thank you for the enlightenment. My question is, (which one is the correct sentence and why between the following sentences?) 1. I am looking forward to hear from you. 2. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hey, thanks for the video. Got a question for you: Are these both prhases corrects?: People go to the gym TO loose weight. People go to the gym FOR loosing weight. Thanks a lot for your job!. Nice video.
Hi Elif. For the sentence, "I'm watching your videos for listening modern British accent", the correct way to say it would be to say, "I'm watching your videos *to listen to* your modern British accent." I hope that helps. If you have another question, feel free to ask.
Again!!! I really enjoyed this's vdo Tom I'm learning English as much as I can from vdos also try to talking communication with people, thanks for great value vdos and I will follow up👍!
Hello Tom, I really enjoy watching your lessons, especially that one from London! Please, keep teaching and video shooting. I teach English in the Czech Republic, but have only scarce opportunities to communicate with a native speaker. Thanks a lot! Eva
What is the peculiarity about those verbs which we cannot use "to", but only the ending "ing", instead of that preposition (we cannot say "we love to watch spooky movies"?? The correct would be "we love watching ..."?? Is that so?

Very informative indeed. On a different note, the verb "to be" used as a copula is not an auxiliary but a full verb.

I really like the color of your eyes on you, They make you look good.
Great reason for learning! Keep it up!
Yeah plssss do a video where you explain the differences between simple past and present perfect! That’d be awesome!
Another common mistake that many people make is that they forget to put the “a” when talking in singular. For example, “This is _a_ good place”.
I’m learning English because I want to study in the UK.
I've been studying English for 10 years in the past. Nowadays I try to keep up with it via correspondence. And watching TV series occasionally without subtitles. Watching your video challenges me mentally - I like the way you teach.
I don't know if you had students doing like me, but I was told I sometimes speak like Yoda from Star Wars. I tend to open the phrase with the direct or indirect complement, then I put the subject and the verb. Like:
The third mistake you talked about, it's something I often do.
Another mistake I've found to be common, at least from Filipinos (I don't know about the rest of the world) is something like:
One of my favorite Filipino dish is chicken adobo.
They pick up on "one" being singular, so they use a singular subject, instead of "one of" meaning part of a group of things, so that group of things would be plural.
Great observation Armygirlsdad
Technically, "one" is the subject, which is why the verb is singular ("is", not "are"). The prepositional phrase ("of ... dishes") is adjectival, modifying the subject. But yeah, "dishes" should be plural.
This kind of mistake is frequently made by native English speakers.
Tom, the most common mistake that I make is related to the use of prepositions "in", "on" and "at". I am alway confusing about what's the correct form, in sentences like: "I saw this product in/on/at the website"; I bought this new shirt in/at/on that shop.
I'm learning English for several reasons
First and that's what my college actually studies is to be a translator
Second to immigrate , I really want to leave Egypt and live in London
Also to be a good English speaker
And I want to be fluent enough to study another language like German or spanish 💕
Thank you for the video
What I've learned is that prepositions are the hardest word forms to translate from one language to another. They simply have to be memorized (regrettably).
I'd also have said "I love listening to music". However, I heard a native speaker say "I love to travel". I also remember the songs "I love to love (but my baby just loves to dance)" from Tina Charles or "I love to hate you" from Erasure. So my question is: after "love" (or "like"), is it preferable to use to+verb or verb+ing?
I am learning English to life, because I will need in my job, in my travels and in my personal life.
Please , make more videos about Britain and British English with various subjects , topics and from different perspectives , we would love to discover more about the British English and Culture ...Personally , I love the British accent(s) , to say that there are multiple and numerous accents (Cockney is a beautiful one with the sound "a" )
I used to take this mistake "Married with" and one needs to use "Married to" (One needs... yeah? Is it correct?)
Ans I also didn't know what right is... Bored or Boring and for what way... Now I know it :) Thanks a lot for your video guide!
could you please make a video about past simple and present perfect ? Thanks a lot
Quentin Amarine Agreed, it would be so great.
Quentin Amarine I want it too

I used to say "I'm shorter than him", or "He's better than me", which are very common to even native speakers. In fact, I hear this quite often even on the radio or news. But I learnt that they're both wrong, and should be "I'm shorter than he (is)" and "He's better than I (am)".

I used to find it difficult to distinguish the difference between the use of “there is/are” and “there has/have” .
Instead of writing :
E.g. There are two apples on the table.
I would write
E.g. There have two apples on the table.
Practice helps though.
These are all grammar issues that can be overcome in time. Correct use of the articles may be something that takes much more time and effort to master. From my perspective, the most difficult thing about English, which seems to be pretty simple at first, is the large synonymity (the subtle differences between several words meaning pretty much the same thing) and the collocations and phrases one has to learn by heart and sometimes use in the only correct way possible. Sometimes one still remains nonplussed because proverbs like 'dressed up to the nines' or 'raining cats and dogs' are impossible to understand (fathom) at first. This is a nice channel, good luck!
thanks sir...I found this video and i love it...it can help me to improve my english lesson...
English is my native language so I can look at these and see how hard some of these might be for new speakers. Learning languages is so tough, saying this as something working my way through Spanish and German.
While converting Active into Passive sentences, generally, I always used 'been' even if its completely unnecessary.
U look smart in this video
I 💜u so much

Noh Sagiman i mean good looking
+cute girl Actually both definitions are correct. 1. Clever. 2. Well-dressed/neat. But I just dont think they use "smart" in conversation to describe "well-dressed".
I'm learning English to teach English, and because I love Ireland and I want to live there :)
Hi from France
I'm learning English to be a translator. To travel all around the world and to meet people and Ive been learning english for 3 years
Well Tom, if there's one thing I totally agree with you is that the main error for non-native English speakers is not to include the "s" on the third-person singular when conjugating verbs. I've been teaching English in Uruguay and Brazil for many years now, and always tell my students that once they get over with this mistake, they're halfway through to fluency. Cheers!
Wow. Same happens in my country too.
My classmates always forgot to use 's' in 3rd Person even though we're learning English since 2010(more than a decade).
I’ve been using English to communicate in my everyday life since young. I didn’t realize it’s so difficult to explain the hows and whys in English Language. Anyway, it’s interesting to learn how to explain to others. Keep up the good work!
Tom, hello from cold and beautiful St. Petersburg!

Two books for the advanced: A Proficiency Course in English by F.V.Bywater and Advanced Vocabulary and Idioms by Thomas.

Ahh that's a lovely thing to say Abdulhfez babkr I'm really happy to help.

I'm learning English because I love it , 😅no" to" here..
I have been learning English for 1 year.🙂
Hi thanks, your videos are so useful. I always have problem with conjunctions :).
Speaking about since. I' ve come across this sentence in " The Handmaid's Tale" by Atwood," Since the beginning of war gas is expensive and in short supply". How can this be explained? I know that present simple can be used when speaking about people's feelings as in " He mopes terribly since his wife left". But why gas?
I am learning English to improve my writing and speak confidently.
Woww... I made a mistake with the verb "to marry". I thought it was "marry with" cause I was influenced by Portuguese. Correct so it's to say that "sb is married TO sb".
Thanks, cheers, Tom!
I’m learning English to understand people and communicate with them but my big mistake is being very shy when I start talking I forget everything
I enjoy watching (NOT 'TO WATCH') your videos because they are very useful.
Thanks for this useful lesson. Iam learning English to continue my PHD in British. 🌺😊🌺
Thank you for the enlightenment. My question is, (which one is the correct sentence and why between the following sentences?)
1. I am looking forward to hear from you.
2. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hey, thanks for the video. Got a question for you: Are these both prhases corrects?:
People go to the gym TO loose weight.
People go to the gym FOR loosing weight.
Thanks a lot for your job!. Nice video.
Hi Yesnik Silva, the correct sentence would be 'People got to the gym to lose weight'. It's the infinitive or purpose! : )
Yesnik Silva santos
Eat Sleep Dream English I also want to ask that when we use "for + verb(ing)?" Could you explain it again and could you give more examples sir?
Elif, I don't really understand your question. Could you give me an example of it in a sentence?
Hi Elif. For the sentence, "I'm watching your videos for listening modern British accent", the correct way to say it would be to say, "I'm watching your videos *to listen to* your modern British accent." I hope that helps. If you have another question, feel free to ask.
Again!!! I really enjoyed this's vdo Tom
I'm learning English as much as I can from vdos also try to talking communication with people, thanks for great value vdos and I will follow up👍!
Great Kanyanat Kultanyawanit, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it!
Hello Tom, I really enjoy watching your lessons, especially that one from London! Please, keep teaching and video shooting. I teach English in the Czech Republic, but have only scarce opportunities to communicate with a native speaker. Thanks a lot! Eva
What is the peculiarity about those verbs which we cannot use "to", but only the ending "ing", instead of that preposition (we cannot say "we love to watch spooky movies"?? The correct would be "we love watching ..."?? Is that so?
