Merci beaucoup pour cette leçon facile et rapide. J'avoue que je suis en secondaire et que l'on a contrôle sur cette matière demain et que je commence à peine à étudier alors que je suis un(e) bon(ne) élève ! Je ne croyais pas mes yeux en voyant que la plupart de mes réponses étaient correctes lors de votre quizz ! Merci infiniment car grâce à vous j'aurai une bonne cote !
Hi, great question! Instead of "connected to the present," think about "timeframes," and when they begin and end. The timeframe for an invitation ends when the party starts. Since the timeframe is finished, we use past simple (just like we use past simple for "last year," because it is a finished timeframe). Thank you for your question! We hope that helps 😁
The idea of "connected to the present" just means the present is in the same unfinished timeframe as the past event. This is why we use present perfect for life experiences; your life is not finished, therefore all experiences are within the unfinished timeframe.
Hi, great question! There are 2 answers for this. First, if we used present perfect, the verb would be "studied," but the sentence ends with "study," so past simple has to be correct. Second, instead of thinking about "a connection to the present," try using timeframes. Present perfect can be used if the action is within the same timeframe as the present moment, and past simple if the action is NOT in the same timeframe as the present moment. For this example from the video, the timeframe for studying ends when you take the test, so when the dad and son are speaking, that timeframe is finished, and past simple is correct. We hope that helps! Thank you for your question!
I had this same confusion, but I guess it was because I thought the father was holding a full-year school report. In this scenario, it would make sense saying "I haven't studied" because the year wasn't over yet. But since it's actually an exam in specific, the "study time" is gone indeed.
Past simple is used when a timeframe is finished. Present perfect is used when a timeframe is not completed. The timeframe for inviting someone ends when the party begins. Because they are at the party, we must use past simple. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching ❤️
Hi, great question! Past simple is for a specific time (I didn't meet Susie yesterday/last week). But because there is no specific time, we use present perfect. Thanks for the question!
No problem! We use present perfect (have invited) when the action is in the same timeframe as the present. If the timeframe is finished, use past simple. In the example you asked about, the timeframe for inviting someone to a party ends when the party begins. Because the timeframe for inviting is finished, we use past simple. We hope that helps! Thanks for your question! 😊❤️
@@EnglishPandaLessonsThanks for your explanation! So, if I understand correctly, when people respond immediately after receiving the invitation, saying 'We're glad you have invited us' is appropriate because they're expressing their happiness about the ongoing invitation, right? And in cases like these, can't both the past simple and present perfect be used interchangeably, or is it more of a preference? I've heard that Americans often use the past simple for such cases. Would love to hear your insights on this. Thanks again! 😊
Hi, yes you're exactly correct! And yes, in that situation, Americans are more likely to use past simple, whereas British will use present perfect. Keep it up!
Great question! Present simple is used for things that are always true (I love pizza) or that happen regularly (I work on Mondays). Present perfect is more complicated. If a time is not finished (for example, 2023 is not finished, but 2022 is finished) then we can use present perfect. (Ex. I have watched 5 movies in 2023, but I watched 10 movies in 2022). These are very short, simple explanations, and there is more to learn about both grammar tenses, but we hope this helps!

Thank you!! @@EnglishPandaLessons
I just got confused about the anwer they gave at 3:56 ... Why did they use past simple? Isn't the invitation conected to present?

@@EnglishPandaLessons ... Oh, now I got it. Thanks for the explanation. God bless!
I don't understand the moment at 2:12. Do we really have no connection to the present moment?
Hi, great question! There are 2 answers for this. First, if we used present perfect, the verb would be "studied," but the sentence ends with "study," so past simple has to be correct.

Can you explain please 2:46 ?
Past simple is used when a timeframe is finished. Present perfect is used when a timeframe is not completed.
The timeframe for inviting someone ends when the party begins. Because they are at the party, we must use past simple. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching ❤️
@@EnglishPandaLessonsthis way timeframes is so good. That makes sense

1:02 why did we use perfect tense
Hi, great question! Past simple is for a specific time (I didn't meet Susie yesterday/last week). But because there is no specific time, we use present perfect. Thanks for the question!
I got confused on the example at 2:31
