Many thanks great teacher,, Could you please continue the other tenses (present perfect continuous,past perfect,past perfect continuous and future tenses)
Rebecca is a great English teacher.She's kind of an English authority or expert and hence it's mandatory for students to benefit from her vast knowledge in English. Viva teacher Rebecca!
Let me be frank I have tried many lessons on youtube to advance my English grammar, but I never came across anyone who is better than ms. Rebecca. she is my favorite teacher.
Believe it or not - I`ve been studying English from 1-st grade and somehow managed to get through all the tests/exams and never truly figuring out what are the differences between these two tenses. I know this is ridiculous, but this is true. I`m immensely grateful to you for parsing out the minutiae and taking the time to explain it. I have to be honest, I feel confused a bit, since I basically have to forget all the info that I have learned through the years and learn these simple things de novo. Again, big thanks for your work!
i have been struggling with the use of past simple and present perfect since i started to learn english, i have watched many youtube videos but i couldn't understand the difference. And this is the clearest explaination i have ever heard.
I have been watching a multiple videos about the simple past and the present perfect. and the difference between them, this is the best video i have watched , i find myself understood everything you explain. i coudn't be more thankful than ever. this video is literally the only thing i need to pass my exam
Rebecca you are the best!!!! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and also your clearly methodology. I've been trying to learn about this specific English tense many times without success. But nowadays I fell more confident to use it due to your brilliant explanation .
Rebecca is a brilliant and concise teacher. I'm 65 year old man raising two 8 and 10 year old boys on my own. I've lived in this country for 40 years and still like to learn these tenses because I have to teach my kids the difference between these two tenses and ways to use them correctly.
After over 40 years, I finally learned the difference between these two things. One of the things I love about life is that you keep learning no matter your age. As the saying goes, experience is my best teacher, but Rebecca is my best English teacher. Thank you so much, Teacher Rebecca,
I’ve found this marvelous channel recently and it’s been helping me a lot! I’ve never watched a class about present perfect so good like this one. Thank you very much!
I need to explain this concept to a none English speaking friend of mine so as a refresher for me I search for web sites or a video on line. I am impressed with how clear, thorough, well paced explanation you have presented. Bravo!
I didn't like English before but since I have discovered your videos I have started to like it . Every time I am not sure about about something ,I check if you have already explained it.Thank you so much !! Great lessons !
Hello, our lovely teacher Mrs. Rebecca, after my time period ın the school, 1970-1972, I have already begun to learn English again before a year in May/2021. You have given me the courage to learn English again. Therefore I love you very much, Before I met you on the internet I haven't had any hope to learn English again. now I am 66 years old, and fortunately, I can learn English from different English teachers on the internet. You are surely one of the best English teachers in the world. I thank you thousand times. I send you my lovely greetings. Orhan Baki from İstanbul.
Dear Rebecca, you are so kind and patient that you make every topic seem easier than it really is. Thank you for your kindness and generosity in sharing your knowledge with us.
I looked for English lessons here on youtube to understand the difference between the past simple and the present perfect. But, I've never seen anything like this lesson! Now it's clear in my mind! Thank you for help!
What a great way to get a free English language class. Thank you 🙏 🙏😘😘. I was in my school for almost 10 years. We had English language class every day, even couple of times, I took the English language tutore and never understood this much. But now, I have been watching Rabicca English class for 2 months and I learned English more than my high school 10 years. Thank you so much for your help. Appreciate
This is very a helpful lesson. I've learned a lot. Thank you so much Rebecca for this step by step in learning English tenses. I'm so happy that I found your lessons. Love it!
I have been watching multiple videos about past simple and present perfect and the differences between them, so far this is the best video I've watched. Thank you Mrs Rebecca.
Today is 5 Sept ,we celebrate teacher's day in India on every 5 September , so happy teacher's day . 🙏🙏.. the way of explanation is unmatchable , thanks mam's
I'm a pretty oldman from Kerala India. I'm a retired teacher of English. In India people take the present perfect tense for a past tense form. Ma'am clearly made us understand that in the present perfect tense we are not interested in the past action but in the present result of the past action. I think the teacher could have given more concrete examples. Thank you ma'am.
Great and very informative lesson! Thank you, teacher Rebecca because I have known a lot from you. Keep sharing your knowledge in English grammar. You are one of my favorite teachers in the Engvid channel. Keep safe and stay at home.
Wow! I enjoyed this lesson, and it has lessened my writing insecurity. This past simple and present simple has been a headache when I write. Thank you for making this easier for all these people who maybe have been struggling with it. For example, when did you get this job, and how long have you had this job are the perfect examples.
You are an absolutely wonderful, excellent, and amazing professor! Pedagogy, psychology, methodology, and your beautiful charisma at work. THANK YOU SO MUCH, REBECCA!!!
believe me this is one of the most important issues in English and she made spectacular explanation about it and amazing lesson. Thank you very much Rebecca
You are one of the perfect teachers who deserves upmost respect and care. You have earned your daily bread with rendering a very valuable service to humanity. I take my hat off with genuine respect.
I watched many lessons from other teachers, but your lessons are the best . The way you present the lessons keeps the viewers interested as well as concentrated. So thanks for your work and remain present for us.
OMG thank you for making me realize that all this time I have been doing it wrong! This is just wonderful! Thank you for a clear explanation about present perfect tense!
Hi everyone, i always struggle with these tenses. I know exactly how they are built. However i face quite some problems using them especially in speaking. But this lesson helped me utterly. I think the general take away for everyone who has the problems that i have should be: Past Simple -> focus past, Present Perfect -> focus now, What are the consequnces of this action? I hope i undestand it correctly. For example: A:Have you watched the video? B:Yes, i have. A:What do you think about this lesson? Did you learn something interesting? (So, i assume that. Someone have seen the video that means they are well versed with video. I can ask what they think about it. ) Am i right? Can anyone confirm it? I wish you all the best in learning English. Have a super sparkly day.
Like football? Please take a look at my channel... my latest video is about the same topic (past simple v present perfect) but I use Pele, Ronaldo, Messi and Maradona as examples.
Today at class we correct the quiz of past simple and present perfect and it was one sentence that i must put the correct tense in : Since I (came) here, I (study) in this school. I put both of the verbs in present perfect cause they're two actions unfinished and we have the key since. But the teacher tell us that the first verb must be in past simple , I'm confused now which is correct and why? Thank you for the explanation.
Well, you came in the past, and it's a finished action, but you are still studying in this school, this is why study should be in present perfect.(as far as I understood)
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! My first language is Russian and the language has only three times: past, present and future. So, these subtleties are SO IMPORTANT to know!
PRESENT PERFECT You taught me how to be alone And I have learned my lessonin your absence PAST SIMPLE I cried when you left me But I laughed when I saw what you left me for
You taught me -- simple past You have taught me -- present perfect I learned/learnt -- simple past I have learned/learnt -- present perfect He saw me -- simple past He has seen me -- present perfect I ate rice -- simple past I have eaten rice -- present perfect
Excelente maestra bien entendible su explicación cuando fui a clases de inglés nunca tuve claro cómo aplicar en diferentes tiempos las oraciones gracias bien entendible buena maestra
wow, it's amazing, I understand why you have the two(three?) past relating expression for the first time. Someone told me your flight had gone to me. I notice now she wanted to tell me I did not have at that time. There were a difference. Thank you.

So, i guess because of that. Now, you are well versed with Present Perfect tense? Isn't it?
All the best :)
@@FUD1155 I give more examples in my latest video - if you like football, please take a look.
@HoOligan I suppose so. But I believe with could use it with Present Perfect as a slight different meaning.
Yes.

Hi everyone,
i always struggle with these tenses. I know exactly how they are built.
However i face quite some problems using them especially in speaking. But this lesson helped me utterly.
I think the general take away for everyone who has the problems that i have should be:
Past Simple -> focus past,
Present Perfect -> focus now, What are the consequnces of this action?
I hope i undestand it correctly.
For example:
A:Have you watched the video?
B:Yes, i have.
A:What do you think about this lesson? Did you learn something interesting?
(So, i assume that. Someone have seen the video that means they are well versed with video. I can ask what they think about it. )
Am i right? Can anyone confirm it?
I wish you all the best in learning English.
Have a super sparkly day.
I have seen many English teachers in my life, but you are the best for sure!
Good explanation teacher. Things seems much clearer no. Thank you

Thanks a lot Rebecca, I have lived in London for four years and now I understood how to used the present perfect!!!!

Thank you my dear teacher ❤️ in English . I'm glad to hear your melodious voice again.
Have a blissful teaching always.
Respect from Saint-Petersburg, I can study English in tenses and practice in audio-talk in one time, thanks, it’s really good.
You’re the best teacher and you explain it clearly. Thank you so much teacher.
PRESENT PERFECT
You taught me how to be alone
And I have learned my lessonin your absence
PAST SIMPLE
I cried when you left me
But I laughed when I saw what you left me for
First sentence is already grammatically incorrect
You have taught me not you taught
You taught me -- simple past You have taught me -- present perfect
I learned/learnt -- simple past I have learned/learnt -- present perfect
He saw me -- simple past He has seen me -- present perfect
I ate rice -- simple past I have eaten rice -- present perfect
I would have liked a teacher so good in high school.
You are the good teacher Rebecca. l like the way you articulate the words and explain concepts in English Language grammar
Excelente maestra

What if I say “I’ve lost my bag” as experience? I mean I say that I’ve lost my bag sometime in my life
There was no way my English teacher taught us like this.
