    I have been practicing english for almost a year, I'm still practicing. I have practiced on my own, I have watched few series,I've jotted down most common vocabulary. Later, I have realised that practicing the language in phrases and sentences are the effective methods. Since then, I have been practicing with tenses, phrases and sentences. And now, I hope that I will get the result which I have been hoping for years.

    This is literally one of the best English lessons out there! I was always confused by the different meanings of the past simple and the present perfect, and this video really has solved my problems :D! While a little fast to me (I rewound it a few times), this lesson covers many good examples and explanations- it is quite helpful, especially when you mentioned the common mistakes made by English learners, I realized: yup, that's me! I didn't even notice it before learning it from you. A massive thank you! Looking forward to another useful video like this, e.g. the present perfect continuous. :D

    Dear Prof, It has been an opulent lesson. Many a person likes your teaching all over the world due to the fact that you are excellent, brilliant and adorable.Hence, retaining in touch is one of the most important things to do.
    Undoubtedly, you are likewise stunning, gorgeous and thrilled teacher.
    I daresay English will be my second language.
    Rarely do I meet a teacher as do you. Thank you very much indeed.
    Also I would have said:
    I have studied 3 sections UNTIL NOW.
    I have gone to the theatre 4 times IN THE LAST MONTH.
    IT'S THE FIRST TIME I have been here.
    His wife is died, he has been depressed EVER SINCE.
    EVER SINCE she met him, she has been depressed.
    I have done it MANY TIMES IN MY LIFE.
    I have worked out LATELY.
    With some Verbs ( claim, seem ,appear, promise expect, hope, need, would like, ) one can use the perfect infinitive instead of the present perfect with the same meaning. For instance: She claims that she has seen him before = she claims to have seen him before.
    I was wondering if I might dare to ask you a question ? Could I just use present perfect with that keys below?
    I have met her SINCE TWO MONTH AGO; SINCE FOUR WEEKS AGO, SINCE 5 INUTES AGO? I heard that costruction style, from Mr Trump two weeks ago.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1

      'I have met her since two months ago' is not possible or correct.

    I´ve studied English for two years but, for seasons.
    I´ve studied Architecture for 8 years and I finished the subjects two years ago, just I need the level B in English for the finish.
    I´ve worked normally because I work in an Architecture’s studio and I´ve had the opportunity to do the home office. I´ve begun English level 4th in the university for three weeks and the weekends I’ve painted my closet and I’ve done a little wall painting in my apartment.

    1. I have studied English for 4 consecutive months.
    2. I have studied my career for 6 years, of which I postponed a year due to family problems, I have completed 100% of the disciplinary courses. I have completed 80% of the degree requirements.
    3. My life since the quarantine began has been a little more flexible in the subject of study, my family relationship has been strengthened, I have been able to carry out activities that in the past had paused due to lack of time. I have also been able to continue working.

    Thank you, Daniel and Maria, for the very useful lesson The lesson has provided me with a comprehensive knowledge of the present perfect verb tense. Thanks to the lesson, I can now see the difference between the present perfect tense and the simple past tense of the verb and know when to use them.
    I like the tests you gave learners after each part of the lesson. This challenges my ability to practice. I love your body language, you have presented lessons like artists.
    Compared to my native language, I have to admit that English is a much more accurate language. Learning English is now my biggest hobby. In my opinion, it's a great asset for any educated person.

      Good! Here are a few suggestions for your examples:
      1) 'I have seen this video three times,' not, 'been seen.'
      2) 'This video has reminded me of a lesson at school...' not, 'This video has reminded me to lesson at the school.'
      Hope this is useful for you!
