Today I attempt to explain the difference between the past simple and the present perfect.
It's probably not the clearest explanation in the world ... but I hope it helps someone.

  • jesus christ in a body of a women!!!!!!! not a complement

  • oh my god she is pretty and beatiful but i am sad to say this video didnt improve my english the least and its my native language

  • lovely thank you very much, now i think i can become better than before with this piece of advice byebye

  • excellent show!! I'm a native English speaker;yet some of those questions were a bit of a challenge.

  • Hm, must have been some other rating we were on top of, Sweden :p

  • Shows like this are what got me interested in the first place. I love having my own use of my native language explained to me because I just say what comes naturally but don't necessarily know why.

  • Yeah, present perfect and simple past are hard to distinguish for German speakers too, because in German both tenses are mostly mutually exchangeable.

    I think you must have a feel for the language, because it's rather an unconscious choice between the tenses.

  • The result rule is quite useful. Thanks!

  • P.S.: present perfect in that sense meaning, has the action at present been "perfected" (aka completed, finished, occured, brought about, ..)? and out ...

  • Is chain commenting a disease?
