The young beautiful lady and the young handsome gentleman have done a magnificently good job; they have, actually, demonstrated their exhaustive knowledge of the subject at hand. And they are well acquainted with the incorrigible, widespread, common mistakes the English Language Learners incessantly do, whenever the Perfect Tenses are encountered, and have taken most of them into consideration. They have, incredibly concisely, specifically in a less than 20 - minute - span video lesson, provided the learners of English Grammar, whose extensive yet imperfect knowledge of the correct usage of PPT and PPCT, with a remedial explanatory reference- guideline. Thank you very much indeed.

According to teachers statement there are no British or American accent. There are some differences in composition of sentences and usage of words. Their English is clear because they are teachers so their sentences are correct. I mean most people speak current English with incorrect composed sentences and incorrect choice of words. But teachers speak correct English.

Hi OOE teachers, One case that I still find confusing is the adverb "recently" used together with the present perfect simple. I have a question, Can we use "recently" with the present perfect simple to mean that something started in the past and is continuing up to present ? E.g ( It has rained a lot recently ) Or is it not used in that way ? Thank you in advance for everything.

Thank you for the lesson.... 😊 Anyway, is there any difference between i have wanted and i have been wanting ? Because some people say that "i have wanted" means you no longer want it. But you wanted it in the past , but not in the present. Is that true ? Then how about " i have been wanting " ? I'm asking the same question too which is "the difference between "i have worked since 2010" and " i have been working since 2010" , is there any difference in meaning between them ? Because in that video we use "have been v+ing" to show a repeated action that we've been doing. Thanks!!

@Oxfordonlineenglish1

Hi Omar, good questions! A couple of points: 1) Saying 'I have wanted...' doesn't mean that you no longer want it. The present perfect *always* contains some kind of link to the present. If you no longer want something, you would just use the past simple: 'I wanted...' 2) The verbs 'live' and 'work' are a special case. With these two verbs, you can use the simple or continuous and it makes no difference. You can say 'I have worked there since 2010' or 'I have been working there since 2010.' The meaning is exactly the same.

Good evening to both of you, I'd like to ask you a question, please. How can we use the present perfect continuous to explain present results if it's a tense which focuses on the process, not the result ?

@Oxfordonlineenglish1

Hi Tina. It can help us to explain a present situation which is a result of a continuous event that recently finished. For example: 'I'm so tired. I've been studying all day.'

Hi, Thanks for the lesson, I would like to confirm something regarding the use of the present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous. I know that when it comes to verbs like "live, work, study, play" using the present perfect simple suggests that the situation is more permanent while using the present perfect continuous suggests that the situation is more temporary. But i've heard someone say that Using the present perfect continuous suggests the situation is more likely to continue and it makes me confused , isn't something what's more permanent is more likely to continue than what's more temporary ? Then why does using the present perfect continuous suggest that the situation is more likely to continue ? For example, saying "i have been studying English for 3 months" suggests that the studying is more likely to continue than saying " i have studied for 3 months" Could you explain why ? Because in my opinion , What makes the studying more likely to continue is using the present perfect simple not the present perfect continuous as it suggests the studying is more permanent. Thank you so much.

@Oxfordonlineenglish1

Hi Sarah. 'I have been studying,' means it's a temporary situation that is continuous at this time. The important part is that it is currently continuous, and will continue, so you could interpret it as being likely to continue. However, 'I have studied' doesn't necessarily mean the person won't continue, or has a lower likeliness to continue. I would differentiate them using the points from the lesson, rather than by likeliness to continue. Hope this helps you!

Hi teachers, At time 15.39 I saw phrase The soup is ready to eat. For me it sounds like soup is ready to eat something. Is the passive form (The soup is ready to be eaten) more relevant here?

@Oxfordonlineenglish1

Жыл бұрын

Hi Arman. Great questions. Here is some insight: 1) 'What needs doing?' is a very conversational phrase. It basically means, 'What needs to be done?' It is more informal and not as widely used in more formal situations. 2) 'The soup is ready to eat,' is another more conversational form for the meaning, 'The soup is ready to be eaten.' We have to be careful when using this form, as the context is very important. Another similar example: 'The dress is ready to try on.' Hope this helps you!

I have been driving for 3 hours now Which of those sentences above is more correct ? I know both work but but which one is more correct ? Is it the second sentence ? Because 'drive' is more of a temporary action in the context. Thanks Regards.

Hi, Would you correct me if I'm mistaken ? Based on this video I've watched The present perfect simple can be used to say that something has been completed, for example "I have made a soup" But you also mentioned that it can also be used to talk about something that has not been finished ( unfinished actions ) And the present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous you mentioned that they both can be used for unfinished actions So other than saying "I have made a soup" to indicate that we have completed making a soup, Can we say "I have made a soup for an hour now" to indicate that we started making a soup an hour ago and we're now still making a soup and we haven't finished ? ( I'm expressing the same idea as the present perfect continuous about unfinished actions e.g I have been making a soup for an hour, is it possible too ? Thank you so much because I'm confused

@Oxfordonlineenglish1

2 жыл бұрын

Good questions, Selena! First of all, when you say 'I've made a soup', the action is finished, but that's not why you use the present perfect. You use the present perfect because there's a result in the present: the soup is ready and you can eat it now. This is an important general point: the present perfect is always used because there's some kind of connection to the present, though this can be in different ways (a present result, an unfinished action, etc.) If the soup isn't ready, it would be better to say "I've been making this soup for an hour."

@tinaguedj1390
