I completely agree with you. He has been to Europe.= He has visited Europe and he has come back. He has gone to Europe. = He is still in Europe or on his way to Europe, (but he has not come back.) Americans say 'I have gone to Europe' in spoken English while the British use 'I have been to Europe.'
Jeff ong, If you say 'She wrote many books.' you must have a specific period in mind that your listener is aware of e.g. 'when she lived abroad.' Alternatively, it means that the person is no longer alive. If you say 'She has written many books.' you mean 'in all her life until now.'
I am a teacher of English in Barcelona.Your lessons are very well prepared You are really a perfectionist. Congratulations for the lesson with Rachel, one of the best teachers too. Thank you very much, you are a great help.Ramón
Perfect explanation and the examples of common mistakes are great! I have done some of them(mistakes, of course) but with your class i hope do not be confused anymore! Thanks!
I have listen to your the very useful lesson already twice, now ,I am listening the third time. I have been listening to your lesson on off al day long. And I have an admiration the way you preparing your lessons!
Yes, you are absolutely right. I explain this in my video 'State Verbs'. If you treat 'to live' as an action verb, you will use 'have been living', and if you treat it as a state verb, you will use 'have lived', and they will both mean the same thing.
'We have been humbled.' is the Passive Voice of the Active Sentence 'They have humbled us. Therefore it is the Present Perfect Simple Tense. 'We have been humbling ....' is an Active Sentence in the Present Perfect Continuous Tense.
Hello Dear teacher! I've been watching and following your channel since I decided to learn English academically ,and grammatically and It's been about 1Year for sure and ,I'm so happy that I'd chosen the best possible channel,and proud of being a member of Anglo channel,the best and beyond of it , ever!and unfortunately, I've got some questions again and are as follow: 1) how to use and recognise the right term,like when the sentence begins with the words like ,someone ,somebody,nobody,anybody,which I guess are the distribution pronouns,how to identify ,is it plural or singular subject,and use whatever rules that are to apply.like nobody has been or have been? 2)the usage of "OF",in term of possessive and prepositional,sometimes my mind get twisted to find the exact meaning of a paragraph.like,"the power of the king of the city of England".actuaelly not in quite such a way but you know better what do I mean. would it be possible to make a video on the mentioned topics ,despite the fact that it is the major cause of not understanding the whole meaning of a paragraph or sentence for advanced learners of English,as I've heard it among these guys a lot. or other things you as a confident native English speaker and a successful teacher know that causes the same case(not understanding the whole concept) . and it took my five minutes whit the help of grammar checker to write down this question& appreciation.I'm really bad at typing though
Hello Nasher, I'm glad Khatuna has answered your first question: All the indefinite pronouns you have mentioned take a singular verb. As for your second question, I have made a note of your request. However, as I mention in my five lessons on 'Prepositions', there are few hard and fast rules as to where to use a specific preposition.
'He has been working on this project since last year.' You can use the Present Perfect with 'since' if you refer to several completed actions: He has worked on several projects since last year.
But sometimes you do use since with mornig and afternoon it doesn't means several time if is today example l have read three book since morning . please let me know if l am correct
But sometimes you do use since with mornig and afternoon it doesn't means several time if is today example l have read three book since morning . please let me know if l am correct
1. Correct. 2. Not sure about 'events', but yes for 'state verbs'. 3. Theoretically yes, but hard to apply when speaking. 4. Yes, as long as we don't refer explicitly or implicitly to a past time frame.
I have been learning English for several years and I sometimes get bored, but I feel comfortable when I listen to your videos.Many thanks for your efforts.
'How long has he been playing the bass guitar?' is the better choice, as it works for both a single action, where the answer is 'for 2 hours', and a long habit, where the answer is ' since he was 7 years old.' In the second case (a long habit), when the context is absolutely clear, 'How long has he played?' is an alternative.
If you watch this video again AND THEN my other video entitled 'State Verbs', and take some notes for yourself, I am sure you will understand the difference. Rest assured that these are tricky Tenses for all learners.

when you want to speak about 'experiences' you have had or 'achievements' it's better to use present perfect simple because the actions have been completed and you are not saying when exactly that happened. On the other hand, if you use present perfect progressive, the sense of the sentence would be that the action has stopped temporarily but can be retaken any time soon or at least it can give the sense that it is not completed yet to be considered an experience itself.
Dear Minoo.So far , you're the best teacher on you tube.Your explanations are so clear and so simple . Usually a grammar lesson is boring and very confusing ,but your lessons really, we can't get enough .I am a teacher myself from Algeria .My dear I envy you .Congratulation .

Emre Karabas Hello Emre, With the verb 'live', there is no difference. I cover this point in detail in my next lesson called 'State Verbs' in the 'Tenses' series.
EMG Gaming It is but still not revealed. For example : I have been studying for 2 hours. I have studied. for the the first sentence : the period of time is revealed, but the action is unfinished. For the second : the period of time is unknown, but the action is finished.
Thanks alot Mis Mino! your teaching has made it so easy for me to understand tenses. Timeline is best way of clarifying the meaning, and telling which tense to use that is really a good way .thanks again and God bless you
If you are not waiting any more, you should use the Past Simple. Are you still waiting? Yes, I have been waiting for half an hour. Are you still waiting? No, I waited for half an hour, and now I am going back home. Possible use of Present Perfect: I have never waited for half an hour for anyone in my life!
ah god finally I understand now what are the differences between the 2 tenses !! T_T I've been searching about that for years !! you are amazing , thank you so much
Oh my god!!.Thank you very much!! your videos are just so easily understood....thanks to you I am doing better in English.Please keep doing videos you are great!

I explain this in my lesson entitled 'State Verbs'. Briefly: If you consider 'to live' to be an action verb, you say: She has been living there since she was born.' If you consider it to be a state verb (which is more logical in your context), then you say: She has lived there since she was born. There is no difference in meaning.
I had been learning english for long time, it was been very hard ,but when started to watcting you vidio ,it come so easy to me....thank u ,you geart teacher
Thanks a million. You help me to improve my English skill. I have been watching your video since I was not good at English untill now. Very very thank you. ^-^
I have been playing tennis for 2 hours / since 8 o'clock. (one action that continues or has just stopped) I have been playing tennis since I was 8 years old. (A habit that continues on a regular basis) I have played tennis once this week. (An action completed until now)
thank you very much for a good lesson and easy understand. I used to study English language as a second language for many years but your lesson have made me understand of using a perfect tense
The first sentence is correct and it indicates that she is still working or she has just stopped. The second sentence is grammatically incorrect, but when the context is perfectly clear, it can replace the first sentence.

Your lessons are better than books, thanks for making the usage of tenses clear for me. By the way, you're a lovely woman and I think I've become your fan.
'has been written' is a passive verb. You have to start your sentence with the object, not the subject of the sentence: Many books have been written (by her).
Prathap Gangiredla You're welcome. I'm glad you've enjoyed these lessons. If you'd like to watch my other lessons, the easiest place to find them is on my website www.anglo-link.com under 'Video Lessons'.
Thank you fot this amazing video! You're very clear when you speak, since I've started studying those tenses it was not happy, but now, it's perfect! BIG THANK YOU!!!
You can say both. If you say 'complete', you are using an ordinary adjective, like good, bad etc. If you say 'completed', you are using a participial adjective, like repeated, copied etc.
You can also use them in Present Perfect Simple with State Verbs, e.g. I have been married for 10 years / since 2003. I recommend that you watch Lesson 5 (State Verbs) for more clarification and examples.
In both cases, we use the Past Simple (not the Present Perfect) to show the action is now over: He has been sleeping since 9. (He is still sleeping or has just woken up.) He slept from 9 to 12. (It is 12;15 and he is awake.) I have been waiting for 2 hours. (You are still waiting or the person has just arrived.) I waited for 2 hours but you didn't come. (You have stopped waiting.)
thank you for making very clear what my grammar books have failed to explain in simple words... if you knew how intricate it can be in these books, making the use of both tenses next to impossible to understand. Now it's clear!
If the context clearly shows that he stopped playing some time ago, even if it is not explicitly stated when, you should use the Past Simple or Past Continuous.

Thank you!
'I have been to Europe.' = 'I have visited Europe and I have come back.'
'I have gone to Europe.' = I am still in Europe.
I think its wrong here, because u must put the first explanation with the second sentence.
@@pilominia9677 No, it's correct.
I completely agree with you.
He has been to Europe.= He has visited Europe and he has come back.
He has gone to Europe. = He is still in Europe or on his way to Europe, (but he has not come back.)
Americans say 'I have gone to Europe' in spoken English while the British use 'I have been to Europe.'
Jeff ong,
If you say 'She wrote many books.' you must have a specific period in mind that your listener is aware of e.g. 'when she lived abroad.' Alternatively, it means that the person is no longer alive.
If you say 'She has written many books.' you mean 'in all her life until now.'
Great
how you do the question ¿? =)

When the action has just (this very moment) stopped (as in your example), we still use the Present Perfect Continuous.
Yes, you are absolutely right. I explain this in my video 'State Verbs'. If you treat 'to live' as an action verb, you will use 'have been living', and if you treat it as a state verb, you will use 'have lived', and they will both mean the same thing.
Thanks for this video.I must study hard for exam but it was so good.I learned.

when you want to speak about 'experiences' you have had or 'achievements' it's better to use present perfect simple because the actions have been completed and you are not saying when exactly that happened. On the other hand, if you use present perfect progressive, the sense of the sentence would be that the action has stopped temporarily but can be retaken any time soon or at least it can give the sense that it is not completed yet to be considered an experience itself.
past simple you say when the action happened.

Love what you have been teaching for years
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you've enjoyed my lessons.
I might be incorrect, but I think the present perfect seems to be past tense...
The concept is 'unspecified time'. The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event.
EMG i was about to say the same
You´re correct, but in the past tense we use a definite time in the past.
I played video-games yesterday.
vs
I've played video games before.
EMG Gaming It is but still not revealed.
For example : I have been studying for 2 hours.
I have studied.
for the the first sentence : the period of time is revealed, but the action is unfinished.
For the second : the period of time is unknown, but the action is finished.

Yes, just make sure you say 3 timeS, and 'in' is not necessary:
I ahve watched this video 3 times this week.
Excellent explanation. Very clear. I love grammar so I have enjoyed so much hearing and watching your explanation. You are great!
I study English for a long time, and I have never seen an explanation as good as that.
Thank you very much!
You can say both.
If you say 'complete', you are using an ordinary adjective, like good, bad etc.
If you say 'completed', you are using a participial adjective, like repeated, copied etc.
Yes, it is correct. I would spell 'some day' as two words.
You can also use them in Present Perfect Simple with State Verbs, e.g. I have been married for 10 years / since 2003.
I recommend that you watch Lesson 5 (State Verbs) for more clarification and examples.
Another day, another great lessons, another like and another THANK YOU~@!

Thank you for recommending this lesson, Bilal. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
In both cases, we use the Past Simple (not the Present Perfect) to show the action is now over:
He has been sleeping since 9. (He is still sleeping or has just woken up.)
He slept from 9 to 12. (It is 12;15 and he is awake.)
I have been waiting for 2 hours. (You are still waiting or the person has just arrived.)
I waited for 2 hours but you didn't come. (You have stopped waiting.)

thank you for making very clear what my grammar books have failed to explain in simple words... if you knew how intricate it can be in these books, making the use of both tenses next to impossible to understand. Now it's clear!
You're welcome, Eric! I'm really glad that my lessons have been helpful to you.

If the context clearly shows that he stopped playing some time ago, even if it is not explicitly stated when, you should use the Past Simple or Past Continuous.
