I would like to thank deeply to Rebbeca and Engvid teachers who are dedicated to help English learners around the world. To be honest, the English that I know I learned from Engvid with these talented teachers. I am very greatefull to have you my beloved teachers.

Hi, Rebecca. I appreciate this lesson video. It's just what I have been looking for. You explain this perfect tense series very carefully and kindly. You are one of the best teacher I've seen on the internet. Thank you very much! :)
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.
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 ❤
Thank you so much Rebecca! I am lucky to found you! You always use the best way to explain so difficult tense. With my kindly regards from UK ( originally from Tajikistan).
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!!!!
Thanks ma'm, I am from India and i had been liking your classes recently. Your way ot teaching and making the concept very simple is really praiseworthy. I hope more cocepts for making us English literate would be coming soon from your side, very very thanks for your contribution to the student community across the 🌎 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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?
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.
Hi!ma'am Rebecca🙋♂️.I have finished your lesson from present simple to future continues.Thanks a lot ma'am Rebecca.I have had a great time with your lesson.From now on,I can write English sentence with grammatically and confidently 🎉🎉🎉..
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"?
I had been learning English for the English for the last two years and understood this tanse when a watched your channel Thanks a lot for your didication
No. I have been learning English from you since 2019 = still learning from you. I have been learning English from you for two years = still learning from you. I had been learning English from you for two years before studying at university. I had been learning English from you since 2019 when I began university in 2021.
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!
I remember you told me we can’t say repeat again , this is a mistake but u said it in this lesson 🤦♂️sorry if i tell u that , thank you to help me you are my favorite teacher I’m learning English very well now because you are explaining the course very well and clairely
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.
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
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.
@@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.
First of all, THANK YOU so much Rebecca for teaching us in your videos with so much details. Specifically in this video you were the only one youtube's teacher able to make me understand this tense and the only one who really made me learn the difference between PRESENT perfect continuous and PAST perfect continous because before this video I'd confusing this two tenses a lot. So, thank you very much for this COMPLETE video! I'd shared this with my class. CONGRATULATIONS for your excellent work and your kindness!! I love ALL YOUR VIDEOS and you're the first teacher I look for on RUclips. Thank you 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.

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:
