- What's the difference between the PRESENT PERFECT and the PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS?
In today's lesson, we'll cover the grammar basics -
present perfect: have/has + past participle
present perfect continuous: have/has + been + verb 'ing'
...and we'll look at multiple examples so the differences are clear for you.
Let me know if there are any other tenses you find confusing!

How brilliant you are young lady I'm really grateful I love you too much.
THAT WAS THE ONLY TEACHER WHO COULD ACTUALLY EXPLAIN THAT IN A CLEAR WAY.
Totally agree with you
I've been trying to learn how to use these verbs for a long time, but now you made it clear. Thank you teacher!! 🙏😊
I'm so happy it's clear now! :)
Yeah,same..can u plz make more videos for past and future perfect amd comtinuius and other temses too.

A melhor professora de inglês que já encontrei na internet.
The best english teacher that I have ever found on the internet.
I'm Filipino, we've learned English since grade school and now I've been using it to my work.
Hi
Honestly, I really like your presentation style and I learned a lot from you the difference between PPS & PPC. I’ve been teaching English as a foreign language for 13 years but I still had questions in mind about them. Luckily, your video took the questions out from my mind. Thanks a lot.
Her information is incorrect. Keep studying!
She stated that "Present Perfect" tense describes an action that has began and completed in the past. That is wrong. If I state, "I have gone to the store." that is "Present Perfect" tense, but I have NOT yet returned -- so the action is incomplete at present. The tense can be present perfect but the action could be unfinished or finished.
@@WyMustIGoI've been studying English for a long time but I'm still confused about the difference between these tenses. Can you explain the difference
I've been here on this channel for over 5 months, and I like it a lot.

Splendid! I found one video while searching. Now I've been watching all the lessons with great passion and love. May your channel reach to pinnacle of success.

Hi Arnel! I am a Filipino and your lessons are so helpful. I've been learning from them. thank you
By far the best explanation of these two tenses. Now i finally fully understand the difference. Thank you. Oh, and you look gorgeous btw :)
Thanks a lot Arnel.
I'm an English teacher in Iran and it's really hard to explain the differences between some tenses to my students.
If it is possible for you please put more videos of contrasting the tenses .
Because learning a new language from a native speaker is really fascinating and it will stick to our minds with tangible examples.
Again thanks for your great explanations ⚘
Thank you for creating such a great environment to learn and where we were encouraged to express our own thoughts and opinions. I am grateful to all your passion and kindness.
Cheers.
Arnel, thank you so much for all these videos. You are really, really good. I'm an experienced English teacher and believe me, I've seen a lot of TH-cam channels, yours is one of the best. Well explained in a simple way with lots of visuals and examples.

I've watched several teachers teaching, you are the best one! Many thanks!
Really great lecture especially for non native speakers like me. Amazing visual guidance . Interesting and easy way to learn a difficult point.
I'm so glad this lesson was helpful! Thank you :)
Oh my goodness! Finally, my confusion about these two tenses has ended. Thank you so much!!!
PS. If u could teach us which situation we should use present simple tense or past tense I would be so grateful because I've always been confusing when to use them
I'm glad this video was helpful! Yes, I definitely need to make more lessons on tenses :) :)
Today I’ve been watching a lot of videos about this topic, and let me tell you this one has one the best if not THE BEST explanations. This is gold. Thank you so much!
You was the one teacher who could explain this in a clear way
This video was a TH-cam recommendation and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's like the TH-cam read my mind. The way you teach us is easy to understand. By the way, I've subscribed to your youTube channel :)
Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel! And I'm really happy this lesson was easy to understand :) :)
@@ArnelsEverydayEnglish now I can understand british people why do they prefer to listen russian accent from russian an so on from other native speakers. I appreciate your beautifull accent, it is terrific and perfectly combines with chinees origin manners. I am happy I have watched your video. Good luck and be well, dear Armel!
I've finished watching this.
The teacher is so bright.
All I can do.

I have already I AM SO HAPPY
I've just watched this video now, and it really helped me to understand the difference between two tenses. Thank you.
You have been doing pretty good video lessons and you have just finished today's lesson. You have been great! You have been awesome!
Hi, Arnel! Thank you, very good lesson! It would be nice if you made a lesson about passive! For me, it is a little bit difficult to understand how to use different passive tenses. For example "the castle was built in the 13th-century" vs. "the castle was being built in the 13th-century" What is the difference? With kind regards, Ari.
You have been the best teacher in the TH-cam. Thank you so much for clarifying my doubts.
Yes! Just what I have been looking for. Thanks Arnel, you have never failed me yet!
You deserve millions and millions of followers. You're amazing! (From Brazil)
That's so kind! Thank you very much :) :)
With "I've been breaking my foot", I can kind of imagine a person hammering his/her foot for hours and still doing it because the foot is not completely smashed, lol.
Anyway, Thanks a lot for this video. I've learnt a lot on how to teach these two tenses to my students.
That's exactly what "I've been breaking my foot" would mean! ;)
I'm so happy this lesson was helpful, thank you :)
Hey I accidentally came across this video and liked the way this was explained with such ease and simplicity. I have subscribed to your channel. I have a request. Would you kindly create a whole playlist on tenses. Past present and future. I struggle a lot with tenses. It would be so beneficial. Thank you again🙂✌️
Thank you! Great, as all your lessons. I've been using them with my students at school 😄

I have been breaking my bones. It is possible if you are being held captive in a torture chamber .
My Italian students at Bologna University will appreciate this. The present perfect continuous doesn't really exist in Italian and so it's hard for them to get their heads around it! Thanks.
You’re a very good teacher, and make everything so simple to understand. Thx
I've never understood these tenses better than now! I'll have an exam soon and this helped me a lot! I couldn't tahank you more! Keep going like that, you're making our lives easier. God bless you!
Please do the same with past perfect and past present continuous tenses, your explanations are awesome
That's a great idea! I'll definitely make a video on that one in the future :) :) Thank you so much!
I have never heard of past present continuous! Is that a new addition to the list we have already?
Could you talk about future perfect continuous and future perfect and their differences? It would be really good and I think many people in Brazil have problems with these tenses. Thank you a lot!

That's so nice Abbass, thank you very much :) :)
Always get distracted between your glorious face and your noteworthy vlogs as to English 😍
I've just discovered you and I think that's gold. Thanks mate!
Great lesson. You explained the difference very clearly. Thanks a lot!
I turned on notifications only for this channel.🤗
Thank you so much Burak! That's great to hear :) :)
Your lessons about tenses are the best lessons I have ever seen about tenses. You have a very nice way to explain tenses. It's so clear and fun! Thanks a lot!
I've learned this at school but I don't know how and where to use it also the differences between them. Thank you for this lesson, really appreciated😄
I was so confused about the deference ,but now you have made it clear.
Thanks 😌
You can´t help yourself being perfect, can you? lol lol lol . I can see your future here on youtube. You are gonna rock if you keep on being so kind,lovely and passionate while teaching lessons about the English Language. You are not teaching. You are reading our minds by helping us to see beyond. That´s your beauty,that´s your gift . Keep rising "shining star"...just keep rising.
I've just found your channel. Great content. Arnel, what a beautiful name, it's quite interesting, as is your accent? It doesn't seem to be American, neither does it feel like British RP.
I'm American, but I've lived in the UK for over 10 years now. So, perhaps that is why my accent isn't so strong either way ;) ;)
@@ArnelsEverydayEnglish Arnel..I want to come to the Uk.. And get your lessons... Can you help me? I am living right now Germany.
@Arnel: "I've lived in the UK for over 10 years now" that means you are living in the UK now or you no longer live there?
In this sentence you have the word "now" so I can't figure out the meaning.
@@chuchu2419 I Think she would say that she has been living for 10 year in the Uk.
@@HanHan-wm4oe No, she wrote it correct because "live" is a stative verb and so you can't put it into the present perfect continuous.
The best teaching I have ever heard about PP and PPC. Thanks and congratulations. I will subscribe.😄
Arnel, at first I thought that your channel is pretty the same as
many others, but each video makes me sure that you are the best, really, extremely useful lessons
I 've waited for the new video like that
That's great! I hope it's helpful :)
I still dont understand: why should i use "have" when i describe the past?
I've tried and I tried. Whats the difference? Does anybody can explain it to me?
I have tried - present perfect "have tried" передаёт связь с настоящим, как будто добавляется "на текущий момент", past simple - действие совершалось или совершилось когда-то в прошлом. I have tried = (на текущий момент) я попытался, I tried = (когда-то в прошлом) я пытался/попытался. Разница в той картинке, которая находится в голове у говорящего - речь о том, что когда-то было или о том, что произошло на текущий момент.
"Does anybody can explain it to me" - "can" является модальным глаголом, он сам образует вопросы. Кроме того, "anybody" в вопросе задаёт особый контекст (как будто спрашивающий и не ожидает ответа) - здесь ситуация этого явно не требует, лучше подходит нейтральное somebody. Я бы переформулировал "Does anybody can explain it to me?" => "Can somebody explain it to me?" или в более вежливой форме "Could somebody explain it to me?"
@@sergeymalakhov5578 а например anyone вместо anybody пойдёт? Или someone
@@andreys.105 someone и somebody - синонимы (как и anyone/anybody) и в данном контексте означают "кто-нибудь", а anyone/anybody тут звучит скорее как "ну хоть кто-нибудь". В ютубе полно видео, где рассказывают когда использовать какую комбинацию из some/any/no/every + one/body/thing/where
@@sergeymalakhov5578 спасибо мил человек! Понятно и доступно разжевал нубу. Удачи тебе!
The BEST explanation that I've seen on TH-cam so far...Thanks dear.
Most of the teachers are not themselves cleared about this concept. Which has been explained by you very clearly.
Why the word "prefer" is stative verb? Its do not clear for me.
Google translate version: Why is the word "prefer" a verb name? I do not understand this.
"prefer" is about a fact, not about a process. All stative verbs are about facts, and all action verbs are about processes. So "I think" means "I believe" or "I have an opinion" which is a fact and "I'm thinking" means "I'm in a process of thinking (on/about some problem)" which is good too, So as you see some verbs can also be stative and action ones, but their meanings are different in this case. "I think" and "I'm thinking" mean different things. "I prefer" is a fact, "I'm preferring" is "I'm in a process of preferring" which sounds awkward.
I've loved you all my life. Does it mean that I still love her?
Yes ;)
Yes. Also, stative verbs such as 'love' are not generally used in continuous tenses.
@@ArnelsEverydayEnglish
I have loved you all my life...it could also mean by context that now in the present I no longer love you...am I right?
My pleasure... excellent ... greetings...
Brilliant explanation! As always) Thanks a lot, Arnel!
I will study all tenses with you!
You're amazing teacher! Thanks
❤️
Incorrect! You stated that "Present Perfect" tense describes an action that has began and completed in the past. That is wrong. If I state, "I have gone to the store." that is "Present Perfect" tense, but I have NOT yet returned -- so the action is incomplete at present. The tense can be present perfect but the action could be unfinished or finished.
I have heard Especially ' I have gone' is logically incorrect .
I like the way you teach, explain everything and don't left any doubt behind
Thank you for the excellent lesson. I appreciated it a lot.
Thank you for your videos! Really helpful. 🙏
