I'm much grateful to you, sir. I have a question: "Having finished the work, I took a rest" (NOT gerund), but "Having lied to him was a big mistake on your part (Gerund). Am I right? Having + past participle is NOT always gerund. That's the conclusion I arrive at. I'm looking forward to your comment, sir. Thanks in advance!
I like watching kind of lessons. I regreat having been seen such video back then I started learning english. Without being shown this video we couldn't help improving our awareness about gerund.
It's been a huge help to learn gerunds from the 2 tutorials you've made. I appreciate your effort. I'm having trouble with participle, messing up this with gerunds. can you please make a tutorial on participle? If you already have tutorial on participle, can you please provide me with the links for those tutorial, thanks.
Very nice presentation. I would like to be clarified a thing, as we know basically a subject is the doer of the action. In the examples above smoking is the subject of the sentence. The question is : what is the difference between the two subjects the normal one ( she hits the ball) and the other one ( smoking is bad for you). Many thanks
How do yoy distinguish between perfect gerund and perfect participle? Could you also recommend to me a good book on advanced English grammar and become a grammarian.? Thanks
Hello teacher 😊 I'd like to ask you something if it is possible. Can I use these structures with past tense ? To give an example, can I say ' I was proud of having completed my assignment. ' Or ' Having eaten this traditional dish was amazing. ' If you answer my question, I would be very happy . Thanks in advance. Have a nice day .
Hi sir Can i ask how we can use gerund and infinitive in passive modals? is it possible to use gerund and infinitive with passive modals ? For example which one is correct ? People shouldn't be allowed smoking ? Or People shouldn't be allowed to smoke ?
I do like watching your videos more than other engVid teachers. All your videos are very useful. I have a question: I like swimming. Can I say I like to swim? Can u teach me when the sentence use a gerund and when I use an infinitive (verb to be)? Thanks.
"was being verb-ed" sounds like an action had been occurring for a while and that it wasn't caused by something else in the sentence. "was verb-ed" sounds more like something happened only once, or that the verb was the result of something else in the sentence. I hope this helps. Best of luck and keep studying!
Hi Alex.thanks for this great lesson.From the long time I was looking for this lesson.Please make one lesson on participle too also i,e present participle ,perfect participle etc
Thanks Alex! I really like you lessons, they are so much clear and concise! I have a question related to the quiz. In the question #5 I think both answers 1st and 3rd are valid? If not why "We're teaching English" grammatically incorrect? thanks in advance!
This is very helpful. Thanks! could you please tell me what is the difference between: "essential to understand" and "essential to understanding"? as you said the last sentence in the video.
+NeeSan4 In one, you are using ESSENTIAL + INFINITIVE, and in the other you are using ESSENTIAL TO + GERUND. "Essential to understand" means "It is important to understand something/it." "Essential to understanding" means "Something/It is important in order to understand."
thanks sir for this lesson . now i want this type of subject where and when can we use this (to be verb ing). to be facing , to be absconding etc these type of lessons i need to learn please upload,
Should we use having for past? Could we say "im still angry about being fired" ??? Hope you answer it. Btw do you have social media or something like that for asking about english, especially for english learner.
"Having + been + pp" is what you should technically use for the passive past, but "being" works in most situations too because people generally understand the context.

Learn English with Alex [engVid] i wanna ask you out of topic. Can we use present or past continuous for emphasizing our statement in conversation? Sorry for asking a lot.

Thanks a lot for the fantastic and clear information or explanation.
Bye
Thank you so much!!! Everything is so clear now!!!
Very nice presentation. I would like to be clarified a thing, as we know basically a subject is the doer of the action. In the examples above smoking is the subject of the sentence. The question is : what is the difference between the two subjects the normal one ( she hits the ball) and the other one ( smoking is bad for you). Many thanks
I love ur class from India
Is being and was being. When we use it in passive voice
The 1st With present continuous and the 2nd with past continuous+past participle
How do yoy distinguish between perfect gerund and perfect participle? Could you also recommend to me a good book on advanced English grammar and become a grammarian.? Thanks
Thank you, sir. can you discuss the difference between a possessive gerund and present participle?
Hello teacher 😊 I'd like to ask you something if it is possible. Can I use these structures with past tense ? To give an example, can I say ' I was proud of having completed my assignment. ' Or ' Having eaten this traditional dish was amazing. ' If you answer my question, I would be very happy . Thanks in advance. Have a nice day .
great lesson!
I like u
well done Alex! appreciated.
Excellent 👏 thank you😊
6:23 when u pass the exam by luck
Thank you for your lesson....
Clear! Thank you! 💮
Hi sir Can i ask how we can use gerund and infinitive in passive modals?
is it possible to use gerund and infinitive with passive modals ?
For example which one is correct ?
People shouldn't be allowed smoking ?
Or
People shouldn't be allowed to smoke ?
I am from India I like Ur lecture
You're a great teacher, Alex. Thank you very much. I'm learning a lot of things from you. 👍👏😊
I am furious having been teached American instaed of English !
I do like watching your videos more than other engVid teachers. All your videos are very useful. I have a question: I like swimming. Can I say I like to swim? Can u teach me when the sentence use a gerund and when I use an infinitive (verb to be)? Thanks.
Thank you Alex! Great lesson!!!
+Larisa Jääskeläinen Thanks a lot!
Thanks Alex) But I have a question: Is it correct to start sentence with Aren't not just Are?
How do i know when to use the inventive or the gerund?
how am I gonna know when to use a gerund and when to use a present simple verb in sentence and speaking.
"was being verb-ed" sounds like an action had been occurring for a while and that it wasn't caused by something else in the sentence.
"was verb-ed" sounds more like something happened only once, or that the verb was the result of something else in the sentence.
I hope this helps. Best of luck and keep studying!
Hi there Alex,
Does the passive gerund have an active gerund?
Thank you so much for this lesson it really very nice video
active and passive topic most confusing side of english for me . very beneficial video thanks
Learning it again.
thank you Alex.
Very short explanation . please provide more examples so it is helpful greatly.
Hi Alex.thanks for this great lesson.From the long time I was looking for this lesson.Please make one lesson on participle too also i,e present participle ,perfect participle etc
What different is "I dislike being told what to do " and "I dislike to be told what to do"
It’s complicated but I like leaning
why use having instead of have??? what's the different
What is the active voice of "She hates being told what to do" ?
7:00 tap it
so if instead of your last example we say: aren't you tired of being lied to? is not correct?
Thanks Alex! I really like you lessons, they are so much clear and concise!
I have a question related to the quiz. In the question #5 I think both answers 1st and 3rd are valid? If not why "We're teaching English" grammatically incorrect? thanks in advance!
This is very helpful. Thanks!
could you please tell me what is the difference between: "essential to understand" and "essential to understanding"? as you said the last sentence in the video.
+NeeSan4 In one, you are using ESSENTIAL + INFINITIVE, and in the other you are using ESSENTIAL TO + GERUND. "Essential to understand" means "It is important to understand something/it." "Essential to understanding" means "Something/It is important in order to understand."
NeeSan4
NeeSan4 Remember this: Gerunds and infinitive are enemies, so you can’t say “Essential to understanding”
thanks sir for this lesson . now i want this type of subject where and when can we use this (to be verb ing). to be facing , to be absconding etc these type of lessons i need to learn please upload,
great video, thank you!
Should we use having for past? Could we say "im still angry about being fired" ??? Hope you answer it. Btw do you have social media or something like that for asking about english, especially for english learner.
