English Grammar: Don't Make These Grammatical Mistakes!

[@ritarose2282]

I told her that I had finished" is the correct answer. When we talk about two actions that happened in the past, we use the Past Perfect Tense to talk about the action that took place first.eg.' I had finished' other. Another example: The bell had already rung when I reached the school.

The most effective way to learn English is to follow up with you, Maddy. This is not a compliment; this is pure truth. Thank you for your motivational videos that bring hope to hundreds of thousands that learning English is not an impossible mission.

[@annieguro4897]

I've watched many videos but yours is great and very easy to understand. Thank you so much😊

[@Leandro-ft6vs]

Correct answer : I told her that I had finished. The tense of this sentence is past perfect you use it when you talk about the past and you wanna talk what you have done before. So it's actually an action before the past.

At first, I got a big confused between simple past and present perfect. However I realized clearly those two conditions when you explained with the most simple example sentences. Thank you Maddy, each of your videos are lit and helping to me when I hitting the books.

I told her that I had finished. I have been following your channel for the past several weeks and will continue to do so in the years to come. Thank you!😊

[@kinuux]

I told her that I had finished, why? 1 / we have 2 clauses, ( to tell) & ( to finish) 2/ both clauses in the past 3/ let ask ourselves ( which action comes first) to tell or to finish 4/ of course '' to finish'' therefore the fist action in past perfect, the second action in the past

Ok

[@alkaberalaser9105]

I am happy because I knew the answer, it's because that's a past perfect tense, and in the past perfect tense because it's express about two action that happened in the past , In that case we the first action should be a present perfect and the second action just past simple.

[@fallingstar1571]

since I started learning English ''i think 3 or 4 months ago '' I started a new program (watching videos in English, listening to music in English, writing the acquired vocabulary....)But it's a little weird that even if I do all this I still have problems in English, it is true that there is a very little change but I can't write essays ,i can't understand native speakers when they speak I always need subtitles because they speak quickly. WHAT SHOULD I DO PLEASE ? please correct if there're any mistakes

[@shohnurazizov70]

In my opinion, there may be various reasons for that. Learning a new language requires years. You have to practice as much as you can. Your progress is going normal. By the way, l don't recommend learning English by listening to music until you're at least an upper-intermeiate student or higher. Because, even professionals can find English music difficult to fully understand. Just keep learning and practicing. This is the only solution l think.

[@shddadhameed4032]

Don't worry my friend you just have been learning English for 3 months. three months of learning English it's not enough. so take this advice from me, you have to practice your English more and more and more and you have to make learning English ideally routine, for example, I have been learning English for 3 years. so please don't be frustrated, believe in yourself, and believe that three months or maybe four months of learning English and practicing English is not enough.

As I know, 'I told her that I had finished' is correct answer, but 'I told her that I finished' could be right also. Many thanks for this useful video!

One thing, when you wanna use also it doesn't stand at the end of a sentence. For example : It also could be right. Or you can use too at the end : It could be right too.

What about "used to go to school" to tell about the time before?

[@patresiasitumorang6326]

Thanks POC English 💙🙂

[@Metebeq]

"I told her that I have finished" saying "I have finished" is wrong because this is a reported speech. We should say "I had finished" or "finished"

[@binhminh417]

The Past Perfect is often used in reported speech after verbs like: said, told, asked, thought, wondered. Hence, "I told her that I had finished."-- I finished doing something before I told her.

[@MeMed-lf1gg]

When an action is previous to another action in the past, we use past perfect. so the answer is '' I told her that I had finished''

[@EnglishGramma946]

Thanks for your valuable information

[@kheavsokleab7723]

I am satified to your video lesson.

[@sanjeewasamarakoon-gx9vm]

Two past actions in the past. When we write two past actions in one sentence we should write the action happened earlier in past perfect. That is a rule. So the sentence should be. I told her that I had finished.
