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.

Hi Bonita. We're happy you enjoyed the lesson! One tip on your sentence: If you’re using a state verb, like ‘be’, you should use the present perfect simple tense, not the present perfect continuous. So you can say, 'I've been confused by the...' not, 'I've been being confused by the...' Hope this helps you!

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.

I am using the present perfect simple in the while clause instead of the present perfect continuous in this case but the intended meaning is the same. Is it possible ? Thanks a bunch 😊

@Oxfordonlineenglish1
@Oxfordonlineenglish1 2 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!

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!!

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.

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
@Oxfordonlineenglish1 2 жыл бұрын
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, 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
@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."

@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Correct me if I'm wrong : when using the present perfect, the meaning depends on the verb used and the context : wether it's an unfinished action or a finished action with a present consequence.

Hi There. Could you write please more verbs that we can use in Pres. Perfect Simple and Pr.Perfect Continuous with the same meaning. For example: Live, work, study, teach 1) I've taught English since 2019= I've been teaching English since 2019 2) I've studied English since 2020 = I've been studying English since 2019. How about " Drive, Go, Play " etc. He's been driving the same car since 2015 = He's driven the same car since 2015. ( I'm not sure if it' correct ). Could you write more verbs with examples please. Thanks for your reply.

Hi, I'm wondering about " have been making" and "have made" If i use them with "for" , for example : "i have made a sandwich for 3 hours" and " i have been making a sandwich for 3 hours" Are both of them interchangeable ? Do both of the sentences mean the same ? Or maybe the sentence with the present perfect continuous emphasises the temporary action ? But are both of them correct ? It's really confusing

Hi there. No, these are not interchangeable. The correct sentence is: 'I have been making a sandwich.'

Hi OOE Teachers, I would like to know about the present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous. Here's my question : imagine you're driving to your friend's house and you want to say to someone something like : 1. I have driven for 3 hours now 2. 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 there. You can use both in these situations. Using the present perfect tense suggests it may be more of a temporary activity, and perhaps your situation was different before and will be different again soon. Hope this helps you!

Thanks for watching and sharing your comment. 1) 'I have been watching a good series,' signifies that this activity is not finished and you are doing this activity at this time. 2) I'm not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking about different tenses used in the phrase 'My hands are dirty?'

Hi there. They are basically the same in this instance. The present perfect continuous form simply puts emphasis on the continuous nature at the moment,.

At 14:44, in the sentence, "We've driven for hours", "drive" is an action verb instead of a state verb. Why it can be used in present perfect tense? In the video, you say that present perfect simple uses state verb, whereas the present perfect continuous uses action verb.

Hii, at 14:56 you say that "i have driven for hours" is correct, but why ? I mean, driving in the sentence is temporary, so why is using "i have driven for hours" correct ? Shouldn't it be in the present perfect continuous ( "i have been driving for hours" ) ? Because I've asked about "i have been making a sandwich" and "i have made a sandwich for hours" and you said that "i have made a sandwich for hours" was wrong. Thank you in advance.
