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
Thank you for the support, Norelle! We're so glad you found the lesson useful!
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.
I have read many lessons of Present Perfect, but this lesson impressed me the most. It answered many of my questions between Simple Past and Present Perfect, and helps me more confident when communicating. Thank you very much, Teachers!
That's great, Nghia! Glad you enjoyed the lesson.

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.
Thanks for the support, Andrea! Nice examples, too.
'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.

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.

You helped me a lot! Thank you.

Thanks you Teacher Good Job
A question, please. Can I say: "I'm living here for about a year" instead "I've lived here for about a year"? Do both sentences means the same thing?
Thanks for the comment, Alex! No, you can't use the present continuous ("I'm living here..."). It's not correct in this context, because it has a different meaning.
WoW! I LOVE this kind of videos
Thank you for this lesson, the difficult tense for me is the past perfect.
You're welcome! We also have a lesson on the past perfect: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/past-perfect-tense.
Hi can you help me about English....?

I haven't had my coffee today.
I have been working/ have worked a lot this week.
I haven't had vitamins enough recently.
My sentences
I've had this mobile for 2 years .
I've lived in this building since I was born .
I've been working in this office from July 2020
Nice! One tip: '...in this office since July...' not, 'from'. Hope this helps you!
Excellent classes
I'm very happy! My score was 100. But, how could I get it? It was because I listen to your videos every time, every day. Thanks a lot teacher.
That's great news, Rodrigo! We're happy for you, and thanks for watching our lessons!
Looks like you're just paid for positive comments. Or you got your 100 in a village school as your English is far from being perfect
thank you so much. You explained very easy to understand
Hii!!!
Thank you now i understand some of it!!
But there's still a question that i want to clear up my doubts, thanks in advance for the efforts!
The question is :
Can the past Continuous and the past simple be used to talk about an action during an unfinished time period ?
For example :
Is it correct to say these sentences below if "TODAY" has not FINISHED?
1. I was talking to him today
2. I talked to him today
Do those sentences above work if we want to talk about an action During an unfinished time period ?
Or do we always have to use the present perfect for unfinished Time periods ?
Thank you so much for the help !
I appreciate it!
Thank you very much 💚
Very good lecture!! Thanks!! Need more lecture on this topic with examples!!

Thank you for providing such good contents about English. May i ask you something ? It has anything to do with the present perfect.
The question is : what's the difference between :
1. I have had to do this
2. I had to do this
3. I have to do this
Thank you so much once again 😊
Hi Omar. Good questions.
I have had to = an obligation sometime (or multiple times) in the past
I had to = one specific finished obligation in the past
I have to = a current obligation
Hope this helps you!
