So if I get this right, if I want to say something is ongoing I would say for example 我想你 but if it comes to an end I would say 我想你了 is my example grammatically correct? And thanks for this video its very easy to understand.

[@SylviasChinese]

Yes 我想你 and 我想你了 both are grammatically correct 👍
我想你 means “I miss you" or "I’m thinking of you." This phrase expresses that you are currently thinking about or missing someone. It’s a general statement of your feelings.
我想你了 means “I’ve been missing you" or "I’ve started to miss you." This phrase implies that you’ve recently started to miss someone or that your feelings of missing them have intensified. The particle “了” adds a sense of completion or change in the state of your feelings.
