I finally understand the differences between, verb to be as a main verb in present simple or present simple (e.g He works or I study). It's kinda confusing though. I thought present perfect was the same as present participle but I think in one you use verb to be as a main verb and in the other as a linking verb. Is that right? That makes more sense and it's more easy to apply that in those tenses. You are the first one that has done a clear video explaining all these, because for us it could be really confusing. New sub!

[@aianasaparova9818]

Too many information here, that is not about to be I think. For example, modal verbs are another theme((

[@Grammar-Monster]

Yes, fair point. Remember though -- this is a channel for advanced students or teachers.
