great video, you explain very well!
Thanks. From Bangladesh.
Impressive presentation
Superb!
Another lovely lesson, thank you
Hello, Mrskypelessons
I have looked for tons of web and non of them showed what is the function of perfective infinitive. I wonder the function of perfective infinitive and we use it in which context? (ex: business area, university assignment or it is casual writing grammar?) thank you
Could you tell me about, Being +past participle sentance indicating past or presnt?
Present because your main verb is be and being done this donr is adjective
hi very good lesson - I have an issue with it when it comes to put it into practise cause I would normally say like she said she saw him I wouldn't use for example she said to have seen him, it;s a little bit triche to memorize and use it after in real conversiation
Great one
Dear Prof, You did say: I'm glad to have been chosen = I'm glad that I have been chosen. Now I may say: Having been chosen I'm glad. Thank you kindly
Having been chosen, I'm glad. (Don't forget the comma)
MrSkypelessons thank you prof, it's really difficult .My God perfect Gerund = Perfect Participle at the beginning of the sentence but different usage !!
Yeah, very easy to mix up gerunds and participles. I have 3 lessons on this very theme coming out this week.....Watch this space....
MrSkypelessons really wooooooooow. Thank you Prof. A
THANKS
Dear Prof,
I wonder if I might ask you a question. which is the differences in meaning between two sentences:
a) she likes to be looked at
b) she likes being looked at
I do not know, I might say the first is just an episode the second to be continued.
Thank you kindly Большое спасибо
+Andrea Giraldo Maybe they are the same?
+MrSkypelessons I do not know, Sir. Maybe. H
I like this video a lot because I knew this topic but not in this way !!!
If I say I feel energized to have voted today so “to have voted” is a perfect infinitive, right? Here I wonder to have voted happens before or after the main verb “feel energized”. Thank you.
The best! thanks a lot!
Very useful
Thank you sir for explaining in detail.I have one question sir how can we know the list of verbs that take only gerund .
Hey, so we can use perfect infinitive after reporting verbs hope and expect to refer to something that will be completed at a point in the future: We hope to have finished the car repair by the end of May. Can we use it after promise to refer to the same thing? For example, He promised to have done his research by the end of the year.
All questioned answered on my website.
I am very happy to have been able to watch your videos/I am very happy being able to watch your video... What are the differences, sir.? Thanks in advance
in your example c.. I know that it emphazises that the action happened, but if we used" to see them live in concert was amazing.." how would you understand the second sentence ? thanks
When you say the example at 02:11, "I'd hate to have been in your shoes", do you say then " I would hate it if I had been in your shoes?
Can I also say: "I would have hated to be in your shoes"?
Thank you)

Having watched your video I have to take my hat off to you again. ;-)
Don't forget the comma! Having watched your video, I have to take my hat off to you again :) Thanks!
Can we use perfect gerund with prepositions. For example, after having taken food, I went out.
Which one of your courses have this grammar topic?
Sir,please continuously work
Please bring long 5 hours video on English grammar
as far as i know (I remember locking the door) - is about past so when i say (I remember to have locked the door), is it the same ???
Yes same
Dear Prof May I use present continuous after perfect gerund.? For instance: Having wintered at the Plaza's in California I'm returning to New Yotk for the spring season
Yes
Good example. It made me look up the meaning of the word 'wintered" on Google. I admit not to have known meaning of the word 'winter' as a verb.
@@MrSkypelessons 🙏🏼👍
Nice lecture sir, I really appreciate your efforts. :)
Can we replace the having instead of to have
I think these are perfect participles - they are used as modifiers. A gerund is noun-like in function: "Mrs. Jones was upset about her husband's having taken the keys." (perfect gerund) Can you explain this to us sometime?
+алексей заровный This lesson explains perfect gerunds, and perfect infinitives, which are also called 'perfect participles' on some sites.
is this related to the construction "he thought it improper to have ..." ?? (as opposed to "he thought it WAS improper to have ...") ??
The perfect gerund in your sentence is considered an adjectival or adverbial phrase?
I have a question about a sentence:
Are/is there a lot of discipline?
Thanks for a answering
+Alberto Griffoni That's a good question, but it is on the wrong video. Try asking on the 'countability' video, and I will answer. Sorry, I like all questions to be under the relevant video so that other people who have the same question can find the answer in the comments. ruclips.net/video/1Ym6ZEjWmRw/видео.html
What does the 3 third mean? I don’t understand Thanks for your video
Sir what If having +v3 is used amidst of a sentence like...
1.he would face a terrible sadness, not for the loss of the money but for my ^having betrayed^ his trust( line from a story)
2. The night was a little cold and I regretted not ^having brought^ arun's blanket along
3.I congratulated myself on ^having returned^ the money.
Please reply.....
Pls tell me the difference between i admitted having been anad i admitted being??????
I think that the sentence "he admitted to having been a member of the gang" can have two meanings, 1- he was a member in the past but he is not anymore. 2- he has been a member of the gang for some time up to now. is that correct?
+Saad Altuilaai For some time up to the point that he admitted it, yes. But 1 is the same as 2, in my opinion.
Thank you Dave you are a great teacher
Sir is this correct?
1, He is to have eaten the dinner
#In the perfect tense its like (he has eaten the dinner ) can I convert it into the perfect infinitive ?
Your sentence is wrong - indirectly your sentence is " He is that he has eaten the dinner" however if your sentence is " He says that he has eaten dinner" then it should be " He says to have eaten dinner" - Now it's correct.
Nice lecture, THANKS ! but I'm still confused between these two statements do they have the same meaning ?
After looking at his watch, he hurried to the station./
After having looked at his watch, he hurried to the station.
I must apologize for not letting you know earlier. /
I must apologize for not having let you know earlier.
I think your sentences are the same. As also it says that simple infinitive and simple gerund might have the same meaning as perfect infinitive and perfect gerund correspondingly.
🙏🏼
Thanks.
How about the following?
"The London underground is the oldest system, having opened in 1863."
Dear sir really you have depth knowledge of English
Hi sir. I have a question. How can I say this sentence in different tenses " I was sorry to hear about your wife having passed away. " And can I use infinitive and say "i was sorry to hear about your wife to have passed away. "? Thanks in advance.
@ 4:20 - Having finished my homework, I popped around my friend's place - here "Having finished my homework" is an adjective phrase so "Having finished my homework" is a Perfect participle, not a perfect gerund as "Having finished my homework" is not the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is still "I" which is a noun. Similarly, "having had a rest" is also an adjective phrase in the next sentence, not a noun. The rest of the two examples of the gerund are correct as they work the object of the respective sentences. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I will! All questions are answered within 24 hours on my course. I stopped working for RUclips when they started openly promoting a form of digital and medical fascism.

@@MrSkypelessons Sorry to hear!!!! Truth is the only weapon that can make a person win a battle. It is a pen that can write anything without anyone's terror; it is a game in which who follows its one golden rule can never lose it; it is a tree that never loses its leaves; it is a river that can not get filthy and dry in any season (source-internet).
The truth always wins in the end because it can never be destroyed, whereas lies are built on a fragile structure that can always be undermined by an eventual recognition of the truth (source-internet).
My thought and prayers are with you. Stay strong and healthy.
@@eclecticeccentrickamikaze6526 I made a mistake in this video. You are 100% correct. 7 years ago, I did not understand the subtle difference between a verb functioning as a noun (gerund) and a verb functioning as an adjective (participle). In my new course, I don't make the same mistake.
The idea of 'truth' as something that is 'beyond all doubt' is itself an erroneous idea. Doubt is healthy. 'Universal truth' is a fiction.
@@MrSkypelessons Hat off to you. Since you are a great teacher, therefore, your swift repose made my day ( i didn't expect a response). I'm 55 closed. Just brushing up on my skills. Thank you and have a good one.
@@eclecticeccentrickamikaze6526 You too
best teacher on youtube
Hi teacher. Since the two sentence (He admitted to having been a member of the gang and He admitted being a member of the gang) talk about past where is the difference then ?? I do not get it ...
sir i am confused that having finished my home work ,i popped round my friend's place is that like ,i first finished my homework then i popped round my friend's place
Would you mind making a video on to have got , to get , having got , getting the job was necessary for me what's the difference please sir do make a videos as soon as possible
The only thing I didn't understand is "to have seen them live in concert was amazing"
But i guess I understand now. I was just thinking that we could say "seeing them live in concert was amazing", but in this case it is grammatically correct to say "to have seen" and "seeing" is not. Am i right? And I wonder if we can say "having seen them live in concert was amazing"
Well done sir,I have a doubt..if I say this sentence..He admitted to have been a member of the gang..will it make sense.your valuable opinion is highly appreciated.thanking you ..jana
All questions on Telegram or Rumble. Pharma-Tube fans get nothing :))))))
Thanks..
"He admitted being a member of the gang" and "He admitted having been a member of the gang" have some kind of difference, right? Would you say that there is only a difference when it's the verb "BE"? I mean, as far as I know, it's the same if I say "He admitted stealing the money" or " He admitted having stealing the money".
Is it still simple sentences ? I am confused! which one is the main verb in the sentences?
'
Having finished in the example perfect participle not gerund, i wud think
I appreciate your efforts. Please correct me if I am wrong. Your topic is "Perfect Gerund" but why have you written the sentences on "Perfect Participle"? 1. Having finished my homework........and 2. Having had a rest...Thanks
Yes, I mix up gerunds and participles in this lesson. Sorry about that!
Hi David!How to nderstand- to pop around?Thanks in advance.
+артем кузьмичев Good question! 'Pop around' isn't really used, but 'pop round' is very common. Watch the lesson ruclips.net/video/NKWPD83OBtU/видео.html
@@MrSkypelessons Thankyou
Are perfect participle and perfect gerund same?
No. perfect gerund should work as a noun in the sentence while the perfect participle is an adjective in the sentence. Knowing the positions of the noun, adjective, and adjective phrases in a sentence makes it clear. ,
Sorry sir, that is not the pefect gerund. It is the perfect participle.
www.grammaring.com/the-forms-of-the-gerund
+Dave Nicholls Both the pefect gerund and the perfect participle have the same form. However, they do not have the same functions.
In your example, it is the perfect participle because it is functioning as an adjective premodifier of the subject pronoun I. It could have been a gerund perfect had it had one of the following functions: object of the verb, subject of the verb, subject complement or object of the preposition.
I take your point. 'Having finished..., I ...' is technically known as a perfect participle. But it still functions as I explained.
Yes it is. I have done another 2 videos on participles explaining the perfect form. However, the authors of the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language argue that distinguishing between gerunds and participles doesn't make sense, and we should refer to them both as gerund-participles. So, the distinction is debatable.
www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/participles-and-gerunds
@@MrSkypelessons the distinction is actually clear as gerunds have functions similar to nouns, unlike participles. For teaching, perhaps, students who do not feel comfortable with terminology, both gerunds and participles could be referred to as ING-forms not to over-complicate things. However, if your video is watched by a trainee teacher, some confusion might happen. In addition, it is worth pointing out that in the example on the board, "Having finished my homework" is certainly NOT the subject of the sentence since the subject is a person or thing that performs an action - which is certainly not the case here. Otherwise, the video is quite helpful.
I am not sure.
Finishing my homework, I pop round my friend's place. ( a habit).
Having finished my homework, I popped round my friend's place. ( A past sequence of two events one after the other)
Neither is a gerund; both are adverbial participle phrases.
Having + past participle can be either adverbial participle phrase or gerund. Only the third example ( with admitted) is a gerund, I tend to think.
New live English classes available here: t.me/MrSkypelesson
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between perfect gerund and perfect participle?
Perfect gerund should behave like a noun. It can be subject of verb, object of verb, or object of preposition. E.g.
Having finished my homework is the best feeling. [subject] I am proud of having finished. [obj of prep.] I don't regret having finished early. [ object of verb]
I believe the example shown on the board here is not a perfect gerund but is a participle phrase and it functions to modify the subject of the main clause. Perfect gerund and perfect participle can be distinguished by their function, I think, but not so much by their form.
@@judynisenholt3602 Thanks for reply, I have searched whole internet and could not find any useful article. Please can you tell me more in detail about perfect participle? What do you mean in modifying the subject?
@@judynisenholt3602 Thankyou for explaining so beautifully, it has helped settle my doubt as well.
Cheers
It is the complicated topic. There too much information in the 6 mins, I hope you will explore the theme, tnks!
Do these two sentences have the same meaning?
1.)He claims to have passed the exam.
2.)He claims having passed the exam.
Similarly,
3.)He denies to have stolen my pen.
4.)He denies having stolen my pen.
There are differences.
1. He claims to have passed the exam. He claims that he has passed the exam.
2. He claims having passed the exam.
He claims that he will pass the exam.
He claims to pass the exam.
I hope you got it.

Is "having + V3" in this sentence a perfect gerund?--> "The serious study of popular culture by intellectuals is regularly credited with having rendered obsolete a once-dominant view that popular culture is inherently inferior to high art.

"The assignment is assumed to be having done by tomorrow."
The sentence is correct or not?
