hi i was jus wondering if this is considered a past perfect...'When the above- mentioned had been captured and the rest had all disappeared, Mark and his companions we placed in safe custody" - How can i prove that this is a past perfect. I no that three actions took place, one individual was captured in the past, secondly the rest disappeared ..the last action is that mark and his ppl are in safe custody. How do i go about explaining that this sentence is past perfect. plz and thank u

Hi .Why We use the present perfect tense ?
-
@DeMarkieSade I agree. It must be so hard to learn English as a second language.

@DeMarkieSade yep, I'm sure
Does the present perfect tense work differently in American English compared to all other ways of speaking English?.....I'm referring to the channel name!

@SauronsEye -- Good question. There are some slight differences in the choice of past participles. For example, Americans choose "gotten" and the British choose "got" as the past participle for "get." The pronunciation, of course, is different. The application of the present perfect tense should be about the same.

Hello. Thank you for your teaching . Your explanation is very easy to understand .
But i confuse what is difference between "i have been in Peru" and "i have been to Peru" ? which one is correct ? thank you !

@bluerose922 - Hi. There both okay and just about the same. Using "in" might sound a little like a longer-term visit compared to "to."

Hi, these videos are very good for me. I´m from Slovakia, and I´m learning english. (But I´m interesting about american english:) ) But We have learned in the school this - Example: ,,She has ate breakfast.,, And here is ,,She has eaten breakfast" Why?

"She has ate breakfast" is totally wrong. "Ate" is the past tense form of "eat." You have to use the past participle: "eaten."
