Madam, you are really Great. You had been explaining well the difference between Past Perfect continuous tense and present perfect continuous tense at 29th minutes of this session. Awesome!
Those classes about verb tenses have been amazing, my compliments to the teacher.
As a Portuguese speaker, my biggest issue is to get the difference between PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS and PAST CONTINUOUS. Could I use them interchangeable?
Thank you for the lesson, Rebecca! It was perfect as usual!
I really love you, teacher, because with you, every thing is easy. Thanks a lot, by the way, I am a moroccan student, and you have to know that you've been making me very motivated.

So helpful and informative video as always. The way you teach fills me up with confidence about English. You are the best Rebecca :)
Thank you teacher for helping us.
Before I had listened these classes I had been struggling with past progressive tenses. But now they are my favorite an I will have used them more easily and with enjoyment! Thank you Rebecca ❤
Since I had been watching the English lessons until now you are the best teacher. Thank you very much Rebecca
Hi everyone,
as always extremely useful lesson. I still wait for these lesson about advanced future tenses.
Before i watched the video I had taken the quiz and I got 8/9. I made a little mistake in the last question. I had always thought a gerund of “participate” contains with double 2 before I saw the answers. Thanks to you I know I was wrong.
Please, correct me if I used “Past Perfect” in my sentences incorrectly.
I wish all the best for everyone who reads that comment.
Perfect teaching with beautiful face expressions thank you very Much for your time..
Thank you so much I'm acknowledging you this way to explain this tense really I hadn't been getting before
Rebecca indeed you are an excellent teacher.Your way of teaching is lucid and excellent.
It is ALWAYS a good idea to compare the validity of different tenses used so that we could easily avoid the mistakes. In addition we have more understanding of the different usages of the tenses.
Im really grateful to you Rebeca for helping people to get higher level in english!👍
It was a really long video but it was worth it to watch to the end, I had been waiting for this particular tense for a long time and now you have clarified all my questions. I got a 100 on the test Thank you for your effort!
Thank you. Your lessons are clear,easy to understad and your voice so calm it inspires me to keep watching your videos.
Thank you so much for the lesson, Rebecca. Could you make an explanation video about the difference between past continuous and past perfect continuous? When do we use one over the other? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards from Indonesia. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this question! I don't see a difference between this two tenses. For example, why we can't say " It was snowing all week " instead "it had been snowing all week"?
Thanks madam. I had been struggling with this tense. Now I get it.
Good explanation
One of the best teacher i seen in my life. This is very helpfull. I always take notes from these videos
You are an awesome teacher. I understand your explanations.
First to watch, thank you so much teacher Rebecca.
I'm a high school English teacher in Senegal, West Africa. I must admit that getting the students understood the past continuous tense is not easy at all.
I had been studying English since when I was in grade 3 but still I can not tenses very well but your vedios helped me a lot to understand all of these difficult lessons 😊 Thank you dear!😊 I m learning English without any extra classes course I love it. I know one day I will become a persone who can use English fluently like native speakers 😁 I 💜 English
Thanks a million for this amazing video. I've been learning English for quite a longe time but still fail when it comes to the past perfect continues clause. I had been watching plenty videos regarding this subject before, but none of them were so tremendously useful than yours. Thanks again.
Thank you, you're special xxx
I had been mixing all the tenses before I watched your lessons.
what about the results?
Yes same
Your teaching is a kind of blessing.. So pleasant and calm with good in-depth understanding of the topics. Thank you.
Rebecca mam, you are always the best english teacher that I have ever seen.
Thank you for motivating us in the last session of this class.
Yeah, I made it here and I will achieve my goals.
Please do more of the speak like a manage series.
Hi Teacher Rebecca, how can we differentiate the past perfect continuous tense and past continuous tense?
I had been looking for an excellent teacher since i decided learning English, Finally I met her on youtube,
Thanks rebecca.
Thank you so much for the lovely personality you have, I’m glad i found you in you tube I truly enjoyed your class.
Thank you the imfomative video, you have fine skills. :)
Thank you for the*
Ma'am can we use contractions in IELTS General writing exams ?
Hi, I’ve a question. Among the stative verbs we can’t count ‘Think’? I don’t know if i were mistaking correct me! Thanks
She mentioned in the video that some exceptions are there we can use some verbs with it , but not all the time.
I had been crying that I hadn't a good teacher until I discovered this channel.
Madam!
You are such a terrific teacher. I love your style. You make things very easy to understand. You ate the very best I have ever seen. Magnificent teaching style. I love you Madam Teacher. Hats off for you. Thank you, thank you. I've always had problems with past perfect and continuous. But not now. Thanks you Madam Rebecca!!!!
What is the difference between "simple past continuous" and "past perfect continuous"? Could you please make a video?
when we use simple past continues we talk about an action that happened in the during of another action that we was doing in the past.
For example: The phone rang when I was reading the book.
It means in the during of reading the phone rang and he stopped reading and answered the phone.
Good Question
@@nasirahmadkhairi4550 Thank you 👍 Can we also use past perfect continuous here?
@@MeryemKocabayDesign No dear. There are some rules in English. little bit confused. when we use simple past continuous we use it as storytelling. We can describe it as when something was happening in the past and something happened "at the same time" as previously said the phone rang while I was reading. In the middle of the activity " reading", the phone rang
But perfect continuous use to describe something had been happening and when "something happend" .it means one activity has already done or finished. Hope u got it😊😊😊😊
@@MeryemKocabayDesign
No, we can't use past perfect continuous here. because when we talk about past perfect continuous, we had completed our action in the past and after that did another action.
For example:
'I had been jogging before it started to rain' it means I had completed jogging and after that here happened another action.
Past continuous has different case as I said before.
For example:
You read a book from 2 PM until 3 PM yesterday. I ask you:
'What did you do at 02:30 PM yesterday?'
You say:
I was readind a book.
It means at 02:30 PM you were in the during of reading.
After i watched this video, it makes me confusing this tense and past perfect😥
Rebecca, I love your lessons. I have been watching them recently and you have helped me a lot. Now I can use perfect continuous tenses. You are the best!
Your teaching is very crisp and clear. Thank You, because of your good explaintion, I was able to solve my SOF IEO Mcqs☺☺
such a great way of teaching - calm and clear!
I have been studying english for years; I used to write as a robot; after Rebecca courses, I now what I do. Thanks
I'm really glad that I found your channel Ma'am. Your message for us made us smile. :) Thank you
