So good to learn these phrasal verbs, these advanced idioms, gorgeous teacher Arnel. I intend to watch this video more times so I can memorize their meaning. GOD is with U, Arnel! Thanks a bunch!
Great lesson, thanks Arnel! You’re the best!
Tank you arnel for your lesson it's help me a lot. I got 8 out of 10. Here some of my practice: Today I feel exhausted, and I can't focus. I'm at the end of my tether because I don't have someone to practice my english with. So, yesterday, I scraped the barrel; I decided to go to the city and find some tourists to speak with them. (If I want to go to the city, I have to travel 5 km on my bike and 20 km on the bus.) Finally when I went there and I after I Hung out around 4 house; I met a group of tourists. Even I knew it's against the law here in my country and I can be arrested if I talk to them. I toke the chance and I talked to them. After we talked for a half hour; we were walking when we met a guide, and he asked them if they need a guide, but they said "no." Then he told me to leave them alone, or he was going to tell the police. I told him the truth: I just wanted to practice my english. He laughed at me. I was indignant, but I didn't stoope to his level. This is my truth story. so, please give me the benefit of the doubt and don't take it with a grain of salt.

Pura vida Arnel! 🌴🌴You really went directly the point I needed with those very useful idioms. My score was 9 out of 10. I thought “She has certainly gotten ahead of herself” might work because she thought everything would be perfect hosting Christmas dinner. These are my examples: I haven’t gotten more clients at my job because I don’t want to bit off more than I can chew. Also, I’m against of cutting corner. I believe the client deserves a high quality service so I have been many times at the end of my tether assisting them out of business hours. Fortunately, my company lent me a hand by adding new people to my account.

LOL. Good job Teacher. To be honest, I got 10, but it was made by a method to the madness (hint), discarding idioms so, finally, I did it. The easiest: "sleeping with the book under the pillow. and scraping the barrel, hardest to guess, get ahead of ourselves. Maybe, have you not revealed the answer I wouldn't have done it without mistakes.

The difference between those two tenses can definitely be confusing. Yes, I need to make a lesson on that topic specifically. Generally, the PPC is used with a duration and emphasizes a past to present connection: I've been waiting for over 1 hour. The PC only focuses on an action happening now: I'm waiting. OR, the PC focuses on a temporary situation: I'm living with my parents while my apartment gets repainted. I hope this helps! My lesson on all 12 tenses might also help you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g51ry8-JddmvY7g.html :)
