Do you know the difference between the present tense and the present continuous tense in English?

[@nurettinylmaz9156]

You explain it so simply, clearly and understandably that it is impossible for people not to understand it. Thanks. I wish you would make a lesson that explains all the tenses together?

I made a video that shows the 12 verb tenses. You can search for it on my channel. It's easy to find.

Hi Paul. I often hear phrases 'out here' and 'out there' within sentences which are used by Americans. For instance, 'The only bill I have to worry about out here is my propane.' Would you mind making a short lesson about them, please?

[@Learnamericanenglishonline]

Use "out here" to talk about a local area, particularly in a rural area: It's great living out here. / Out here we can do whatever we want to do. / It's hard to get good milk out here. Good question. I'll think about a video or a lesson for that. Or I'll talk about it during a live KZbin event.

[@whocares8025]

Thank you, Paul! What do you think on making from time to time kind of Grammar Q&A live KZbin events? Students/followers could make their grammar questions in front of those events so it would not look kind of chaotic and such. Say, you're announcing that event a week before it starts and we have time to send our questions to you . For instance... The other day I've listened to the WSJ podcast and there has been this phrase... ''On the second weekend in March, the US banking system was edging toward disaster, and two former bank CEOs were about to be drawn in to help manage the crisis.'' So, my question would be... Why the WSJ host, Kate Linebaugh, has used 'to help' instead of 'helping' after the preposition "IN"? I've thought that after prepositions we should use gerunds. Thank you, again. @@Learnamericanenglishonline

[@Learnamericanenglishonline]

@@whocares8025 I have experimented with Q and A in the past. You make a great suggestion! As for the infinitive in the example, choose it when explaining a reason. The preposition is part of a phrasal verb, “draw in” which appears here in the passive voice, “were about to be drawn in.”

[@whocares8025]

Got it. Thank you.@@Learnamericanenglishonline

[@whocares8025]

In addition... If your followers do not have any grammar questions for these kind of events, I'm ready to fill the whole list. It's not a big deal for me because everyday I read a lot of WSJ's stuff. Therefore, I have a lot of questions during the process. Sometimes these are pretty simple questions but occasionally they are not. And in this case you would just tell us what kind of grammar topic it is. So we would learn it ourselves through other grammar sources.

Hello sir, you are the best teacher, and you how to teach me !

[@rosadelbarco9878]

Thank you very much Paul, maybe you can explain about inflectional endings , rule: If a word ends a silent e, drop the e before.adding ing or ed. I have a example that I don’t understand. * Dad________for the president ( voted or Voting) I think both are well, my teacher says the correct word is voting, and I didn’t understant why, not use the verb to be before, I know that when we use the verb to be before a verb +ing is an action in this moment but what happen in this example, thank you so much

[@Learnamericanenglishonline]

If it's the continuous tense, you have to use "be." Dad is voting for the President. / If it's in the past tense, you only need to use "voted." Dad voted for the President. Hope that helps.

What's the difference between " I saw" and " I could see" please?

[@User133-us]

I saw => focused on a fact that you saw something. I could see => focused on possibilities to see [something], not on the fact. Maybe you saw, but it might be not. Ex: I could see the entire valley from the hill, but it was too foggy. Yesterday it was not too foggy, so I saw entire valley from the hills.
