    Thank you so much for your videos, really love them, entertaining and effective. I have a question here. So is it correct that the norm of using pronouns to represent various subjects when different forms of a verb are shown in verb conjugations applies to all tenses? For example, as the verb 'to be' conjugates as 'he/she/it is' in simple present tense, and 'you/we/they were' in simple past tense, so we can say 'Jack is...'(Jack=he) and 'David and I were...'(David and I=we), right?

Checa este video para que aprendas y no te dejes enredar por estas explicaciones kzread.info/dash/bejne/an2bxrGlY8-afrg.html Esta persona luego luego presento la gramática sin siquiera definir bien el simple presente. Es por eso que la gente no entiende y no aprende. Donde están las estructuras de este tiempo? que pasa si tienes el verbo To Be? Es mucha información para quererla explicar en unos cuantos minutos. Solo 15 minutos y ya cree esta persona que la gente aprendió. Solo lo hacen por las vistas y por el dinero no por querer realmente enseñar.
