Thank you so much! I love your video! You made it so easy to understand. Can you please also upload Past Perfect/ Past Perfect Progressive and Future Perfect/ Future Perfect Progressive? Thank you!
Hi Stacie, we're making a video on the past perfect vs. past perfect progressive this month and it'll be live next month (Jan 2024). We're happy to hear our videos help you understand grammar!
I keep coming 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?
That sentence is pretty tricky. The easiest way to explain is that the main verb, "makes," is the simple present tense because we use it with an adverb of frequency ("always"). It's also a "true fact" for this person. Adverbs of frequency and true facts are both reasons to use the simple present tense. The other action, "missing out," is a present progressive (continuous) action because it's still happening right now. At this moment, you're missing out on all the yummy but unhealthy food you could be eating. It's also helpful to know that "missing out" is almost always in the present progressive (continuous) tense because it's something you continue to feel. Hope that helps!
@@j.michelin907 A native speaker would understand it, of course, but it wouldn't sound as natural. If you included "would" ("...makes you feel that you would miss out") it's a bit more natural, but still not as natural as the progressive/continuous form. While we don't tend to use the simple present for an ongoing situation, we do use it for a singular event. For example, I could say "I'm going to take a day off work because I don't want to miss out on the big parade." Overall, though, the progressive form is the most natural. Have you heard of FOMO? That's the "Fear Of Missing Out" and is a very common expression these days. Happy studying!
Hi, according to Google translate, you're asking for a video that covers the simple present and present progressive in one video, but this video already does that. Could you rephrase your question another way? I'm not sure what you're asking for. Thanks!

Thank you so much. I knew it was "tricky". And what if I had said/written: "...makes you feel that you miss out."? What a native would think?@@ellii

Great examples! You're just missing the word "days" from your last sentence. (She is studying French these days.)
