Can you explain line graph with pie chart mix

[@sinchalshrestha4164]

you have used past simple tense and present perfect tense in the same sentence. is it correct to use to describe the chat with past dates?

[@JatinderSingh-pq8tb]

Mam i find difficulty how to chose subject in task 1 statment please help me regarding (subject)

[@CuongNguyen-pt7yp]

I have 1 question. Are The expressions " the visitor count" or "the visitor numbers" only used when following the word "total" and reffering to "the total number of visitiors"???. if i want to use them in difefrent situation like i want to express data in plural form with the same meaning as this sentence: " the numbers of visitors visiting A and B were...". So what should i write if using "count" and "numbers". You havent mentioned the situations when to use them clearly :(((((

[@TheBangLishTeacher]

As the time period is in the past, is it okay to use the present tense while describing, like you did? I am a bit confused here. Looking forward to getting an answer regarding this. By the way, thanks a million for making all these videos. Sending love from Bangladesh.

[@LilieIELTS]

Hi, you need to use the past simple tense for the category "date opened" but use the present simple tense for the other two categories because the six systems are always that long and serves that number of passengers every year. Hope this helps.

[@isratrizwana]

If I use past tense for all three groups then what happens ?it will be wrong.?

[@widyawati4666]

Hi, Lily, thank you for the excellent video. Can we paraphrase passengers with commuters to vary our language?

[@LilieIELTS]

no😱

[@user-hg5ow3zl1s]

Why you use present tens here and also past in the second paragraph

[@roseadu-gyamfi5822]

Wish to register to sit for the exams again in November next month.👏

[@kadirdurdu8832]

Hi what did you get in the last exam?

[@SalamaAhmed-pj3jv]

I wonder if I can write at the end of the report something like (we can be inferred from these numbers that Tokyo has the biggest number of passengers per year because it has many more citizens and tourists than other cities.) I have seen some people do such of things.

[@LilieIELTS]

No, don't do that.

[@reneesh7057]

Thank you. Can you make a video about different meat eaten in a European country? Please explain the use of “that of”.

[@LilieIELTS]

Hi, here's a sample essay on meat consumption: www.ieltsessaybank.com/the-graph-below-shows-the-consumption-of-fish/

[@reneesh7057]

Thank you. You are the best one on KZbin with lots of basic knowledge that is helping me understand things better.

[@Gfgj601]

I have one doubt. Which tense is desirable to describe this graph? One place you have used 'London is the oldest', and next time these 'two cities were the'! Which tense is preferably better?

[@LilieIELTS]

Is London's always the oldest system or is it the oldest only in 1863?

[@mohdmohiuddin1870]

the one in washington DC is relatively long ( should we write was or is 8:1 3)

[@LilieIELTS]

Use "is" in that sentence.

[@meghferdousy8145]

Hi..can you just clear my confusion about that line ‘they have the largest annual passengers numbers,at 1927 million for Tokyo and 1191 million for Paris ‘ please? Why did you use ‘have’ not had?? Isn’t it past tense???as it is talking about 1900 and 1927?? Please reply

[@LilieIELTS]

"Passengers per year" means that on average they have x million passengers *every year* .

[@fizzuopmuoi8874]

Thank you for the great video. Is it fine if i dont write about the data of 1 city at all?

[@LilieIELTS]

I don't think it's fine. Should at least include one piece of data for each city.

[@mohdmohiuddin1870]

london's is the oldest and longest of the systems ( was or is what we should write mam) help us.

[@LilieIELTS]

Use "is".

No, the tense you should use depends on the context.

I am little bit confuse we should use past or present tense ?

Use the past simple tense for "date opened" and the present simple tense for the other three categories.

Hi dear Lilie , could i write : they also have the shortest routes, with 11 and 28 kilometers respectively, instead of writing at 11 and 28 kilometers respectively , ? please explain it where we should use at and where with . your my real angel 🥰💓 . lam so appreciative of your attention to our comment. 💜

[@LilieIELTS]

I think you can use either 'at' or 'with'.

[@Startup022]

Even though they are less than 200 kilometres long . Why use are🤔 it is past graph? So why use are why not were

[@LilieIELTS]

Hi, we should use the past simple to report date opened but the present simple to report kilometers of route and passengers per year.
