Thank you for your message. We hope to post a grammar video every Wednesday. We also have the podcast that goes out on Sundays. We are glad that you enjoy learning English with our videos.
Thank you for your message, Ramona. We have a new video about "Futures" coming out this week, and our "Round the Table" chat show every Sunday. If you have any other ideas for videos, let us know.
Brilliant! Thank you very much for this video. It is greatly appreciated, especially since the choice of using either the Present Perfect Simple or the Past Simple is quite tricky sometimes for some of us non-native English speakers. In this context, I would be grateful if you could clarify the following for me: Is the (passive) Present Perfect Simple or the (passive) Past simple tense to be used in the following sentence: 'The poet, along with her editors, has been/was invited to the conference.' (?) P.S. I came across this question in a post/quizz 10 minutes ago. It is said that the correct tense is the Past Simple ('was invited'), but to be honest, I don't see why the Present Perfect Simple cannot be used here, especially since no time frame is mentioned, or any other specific context elements that could useful in establishing the time frame of the events; so, my answer was 'has been invited'. Was I wrong? Once again, thank you so much for your help!
Yes, this is often confusing. It's often taught as a distant/recent past, which is not really true. I agree with you that "has been invited" seemed to sound more likely, but without any context neither are wrong. Maybe I will have to discuss this in our Sunday podcast. Thanks for your message.
If my brother drew a picture today at any time/ 2 hours ago/ 30 mintues ago, then which is the correct sentence - My brother has drawn a picture very well or My brother drew a picture very well? And if my mother cooked some food any time today/ 2 hours ago/ 30 mintues ago then which is the correct sentence - My mother has cooked or My mother cooked? Please tell me 🙏
Both are correct. The only difference is when you state when it happened. Generally, with "today" you could use either, but if you were speaking in the afternoon and you said "this morning" you would probably use the past simple as there is a distance between the time we are speaking and the time we are speaking about. At least, that's the usage in British English, but there may be variations with other Englishes around the world. Thanks for the message. I hope that answers your question.
Thank you very much 🙏 I heard that present perfect tense is used to describe recent past incidents, so I want to know if my brother drew a picture 30 mintues ago then would it be recent past? And what amount of time I mark as "recent past" 30 mintues/1/2/3 hours?🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you very much again for your kindness Sir.
Hi there. I don't think that regret would make any difference. When it happened is the relevant factor. So, both are correct if there is no time reference. Don't forget to subscribe to our weekly podcast on our sister channel "Round the Table". Thank you for your message.
@@teabag1155 Probably "I have sent..." but without a time reference, it doesn't make any difference. Don't forget to subscribe to our weekly podcast on our sister channel "Round the Table".

Hello teacher!
How are you?
How about actions I'm not proud of? Would you rather say "I smashed that plate" or "I've smashed that plate" ?
