Thank you for doing this for free. That is why I prayed that God would unlock a thousand locks of your life for you for free. I love you all.

Question three in level five was really the hardest for me. It's a very useful course ,thank you

Amaizing lecture, very detailed and up to the mark❤

Thank you for this complete quiz. It's a very informative way to test yourself. It's very instructive to see how my scores are at the different levels. On level 1 and 2, I scored 5/5; on level 3, I scored 4/5, on level 4, I scored 3/5 and on level 5 I scored 8/13. So, I have a lot of work to do to improve my English to a higher level :-).

Thank you so much , it's helpful , I'm going to watch it again and again because its full of knowledge and information .

This video helped me sooo much! Thanks a lot!

You're kindly smart teachers.

Hi , I would like to review what the video is about. You mentioned that we use the present simple for something that happens permanently and we use the present continuous for something that happens temporarily. In one of your questions, it says "I'm playing tennis every Friday" Every + time is an adverb of frequency. We can use it with the present continuous, but why can we not use it with adverbs of frequency like "Usually, often, sometimes" Why is it like this ? Why it's not possible to say " I'm often talking to her" but it's possible to say " I'm talking to her every day". Aren't 'every day' and 'often' the same ? Both of them are adverbs of frequency. I'm perplexed, because it's possible to use with "every day, every Friday" , but it's not possible to use with "often, seldom, usually". Because 'every day' and 'often, sometimes' are the same because those are Adverbs of frequency Could you explain why in more detail ? This is one of the grammar topics that English teachers rarely explain. Thank you for your effort.

Thank you very much ❤❤❤

Your family channel is royal 👑.

amazing video thankkss

Very good lessons. If the fonds are little more bigger, it would be more convenient.

Thank you very much for this lesson. I think level 4 and 5 are difficult.

I love subtitles

We got an english exam tommorow this really saved me thx

It was great I am going to share this with my friends.

Thank you,I will try to improve my grammer.Although I am weak at English,I will try my best.I am a Hongkonger.Hope you can make more about grammer videos.😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏

Thanks alot

Thanks so much teachers 🤍

Thank you very much for this useful information and make us see the difference between present simple and present continuous. For beginners and intermediate learners, I think we should study each tense by itself so that learners won't get confused. Thanks a lot. As a teacher of English in highschool, I learn a lot from you. As a learner, I get much more as far as speaking is concerned. Good luck.

Amazing 🤩 🎉 lecture mam

Hi teacher Gina. Thank you so much for useful information. Your accent is very clear. The most difficult to me is what we know by estimate Sometimes situation will be different from what we guess

Felicitation, Best channel to learn English.

I want to know about others verbs such that way.i able to recognise my silly mistakes.its very useful

This is amazing thank you guys for inspiring me to start my own KZfaq channel😍. Thanks.

Wow we started the Playlist with 2.5 million views and ended up With only 25K that's 2% I'm glad im one of those few people

Love from India sir ,Thank you

It was really difficult to me, but thank you because I learned a lot from this lesson.

I keep stumbling across present progressive uses that I can't explain. Example (from Longman Dictionary): "Sticking to a healthy diet always makes you feel that you're missing out". Missing out? Why the present continuous? "Missing out" right now? "Missing out" temporally around the time of speaking? Changing situation? Trends? Near future? Plans?

Awesome explaindd

very very interesting :)

Your lessons are amazing teachers😍 so clicked like and hit the Subscribe button ✅

Great lesson. But you have made a mistake at 8:48 min when you say " in level 3 we say that the verbs of sensing are generally used in the present continuous" but the the correct is the opposite according to level 3.You here are talking about special case of using continuous in the verbs of sensing...

It's an unic part of English 👍

Thank you very much for so helpful video. I look forward to see the similar video about Present Perfect Tense and Past Perfect Tense.

Love it😊

It would be very kind of you if you made a video about state verbs🤗🤗

Thank you very much 😁

Great as always 🎉🎉

Hi, Present continous and present simple are sometimes confusing, but you've made it clearer , Thank you. Could i ask you a question ? because I'm really confused. The question is : in level 4, in sentence 4 at 9:45 , you said that using the present simple suggests that it's a permanent situation, but why right after saying that did you say : 'They've been playing tennis on fridays for years and they're really enthusiastic about it'. You just said that the present simple is for permanent situations but why did you use the present perfect continous to mean that the playing tennis has continued for years ? isn't the present perfect continous for temporary situations ? what i'm confused about is that you used the present simple in a present tense to mean a permanent activity but you used the present perfect continous not the present perfect simple in a perfect tense. It's showing contrast. Thank you so much for reading this comment and I would like explanations. Thanks one more time.

OoE is the best😍

Hello goof aftarnoon best video english thak you

If let me write, maybe I could pay attention to grammar. But I totally would forget the grammar when speaking. So, some grammar mistakes make others confuse and make some jokes sometimes. How do I can improve my grammar in spoken English? By the way, Gina's so beautiful and her voice sounds great.

Thank you to much for your effort

Thaaaaannks! I appreciated and learned a lot from you!

Excellent!!!

I got 24/25😎😎

I don't understand how to use the simple continuous like a complaining with "specific adverbs" (except "never"). Which are these specific adverbs? I enjoy the video and I took a lot of tips. Thanks for the video it was very useful for me.

Wonderful class. I downloaded it.

can someone please answer these questions 1- im usually playing football. A-present continuous or B-present simple 2- she likes playing football. A-present simple or B-present simple pls write to me soon

Level 5

Woww that's so cool And helpful but I need to make a review later

Thank you for lesson

Thanks

Thanks Teacher

thank you so much for this grate video. I am wondering why we use present continuous after still in the last sentence of the level 5. still already imply that subject does something up to a particular point in time and continuing at that moment. so, why we use present continuous? Is not that a redundant?

Good evening to both of you, I would like to ask you a question, please. In addition to "always", "constantly" and "continuously", with which other adverbs of frequency can we use the present continuous ?

I think Liam is a new host/teacher, welcome. Ginas hair it’s still awesome.

Thanks!

Level 3 was bit harder than the level 5 😅. Perhaps I was bit sleepy . Thank you

Tremendous

Hi, please clear my confusion. Q. What do you do? What answer should be of this question. A. I do work in post office or B. I am working in post office. Please explain the reson which answer is correct. My first teacher taught me "answer should be in present indefinite but my second teacher taught me answer should be in present continuous

Very useful information 👍

For the past tense also

Hi thank you for the lesson. It's really helpful! I've been watching videos from this channel! I have a question to ask about the past continuous, I've been trying to find the answer. If someone says "I was working for 5 years" instead of "I worked for 5 years" Does it mean that working was temporary for them ? Or does it depend on the context ? Or in every context where the past continuous is used in that way does it always mean the situation is temporary ? Thank you so much.

Informative lesson , thank you very much. Can you make a similar lesson with another tenses ?

Level 5 last question I didn't even know the meaning , but I got correct answer.

Thanks ❤️

The most difficult to understand was the level 5!!! Can you give me more examples , please?

Very nice video 👌 big like 👍 hi new friend 🙋🙋💕💕

I wasn't sure about two points. I wouldn't say I'm realizing but I'm beginning to realize. Also when there's every, like every Friday, that suggests to me some permanence justifying the simple present tense rather than the continuous form. But in all, it's a very informative video. I watched it because I'm curious if you can see some change in the use of the Present Continuous tense - to my ear, it has become more often used than it used to be, let's say some 30 years ago. By that I mean forms like "I'm loving it" or even "I'm understanding it" that I've heard from native speakers. Am I right about it? Can you confirm this trend?

Thanks for this video. one question: we move on to the next job. we are moving on to the next job. which one is correct?

Level 5 was quite difficult then others

Thank you for the lesson! I understand it better now! After watching this video i started to be curious about "always" + "the present continuous" . What I'm curious about is when we're using the present continuous with always to talk about annoying habits Is it an ongoing habit ? I mean that when we're saying "He's always talking in class" is that an ongoing habit ? Or is it factual or in other words is it general and not an ongoing annoying habit ? Because when We say "I work at KFC" we know that this is not an ongoing habit. But when we say "I'm working at KFC" we know that it's habit but it's an ongoing habit. That's why I'm curious about "always" + "the present continuous" if it's an ongoing annoying habit or not. Thank you for your lesson!

these were the easiest level tasks. i wasn't even wrong at all

Hello welcome you video english best my not regret thak you

I find news headlines sentences most difficult. They talk about past, but they are constructed using simple present tense.

Hi, I've always been your loyal student :), A lot of your videos are useful, all of them. Would you answer my question ? Because someone has taught me something. And i would like you to tell me if I'm correct with my point. The point : We choose to use the present perfect continous over the present perfect simple if : - action started in the past - continues to the present - will likely continue into the future Is that right ? So if i say : - 'I have been playing football for several months' ( it means that i will likely continue ) - 'I have played football for several months' ( it means that i'm less likely to continue ) Is that right ? Or not ? Thank you so much. Stay Blessed and Healthy !

Brilliant

Love ♥️♥️♥️

4-4-4-2-3 could be worse, but still a lot to work on

As an english learner i have a question for part three in fifth sentence. Could it be that, rents are being increased ? I mean passive. Thank you

Thank you for the lesson. I'm studying about how the present continuous is used for a temporary habit. I have one question about habit and the present perfect. Can we use "present perfect" to talk about habit when it's connected to the when-clause ? For example: _"I have done my homework when my sister uses her laptop"._ Here I'm using the present perfect to show that in general when my sister uses her laptop, I have done my homework or my homework is already done/completed. Is it possible to use the present perfect in that way ? I'm not asking about this kind of use of present perfect : _"I have gone to the gym for years"_ to talk about a habit that has been going on for years. But I'm talking about the present perfect being used to talk about a habit and connected to the when-clause, as in: _"I have done my homework when my sister uses her laptop"_ to mean that in general my homework is already completed or done when my sister uses her laptop. Is it possible ? Thank you a lot in advance.
