@oxfordenglishnow
5 жыл бұрын
Hi Angel, Great sentences, well done! I would just prefer, "I was cooking a pizza when the phone rang." as this is when one action is in progress and is interrupted by another. This is when we use the past continuous for the action in progress and the past simple for the short completed action, the phone ringing. Then you say, "After that I have watched a film.... " this is the present perfect and as the action is a completed action in the past I think it would be better to use the past simple here. Tenses are difficult but practice makes perfect! Keep up the good work! 👍

Hi Teacher! Wow! That`s great! As always, the explanations are clear and concise. The example sentences and the pictures make the usage of the narrative tenses vivid in our mind. It`s an awesome video lesson. Hats off to you! Here is my story : I was very impressed by your video lessons. I had never a chance to have a good English teacher like yours when I had been a student at school. Since I had been watching your video lessons, I felt fluent, confident and natural English speaker as well as writing good English. After all, you are a promising teacher. Thank you for your unflinching hard work and devotion. Bye for now! See you soon in the next lesson! Best Wishes, Fazil

Hi Fazil, what a wonderful piece of writing. First of all, your English is EXCELLENT! I am very impressed. I also really appreciate your support and positive comments about my lessons. So thank you very much 🙏🏼. Now for your writing using narrative tenses. It was very well written but to make it even more like a native English speaker, I have some small suggestions for you. Firstly, you say “I had never..”. Whereas it would be better to say, “I never had a chance to have a good English teacher like YOU. (Not yours - yours is a possessive pronoun, it replaces a noun). Then you say, “when I had been a student at school.” It would be better to say “when I was a student.” You use the past simple for a completed action in the past. Finally, you say “since I had been ...”. Whereas it would be better to say “since I have been... “ this is the present perfect tense and is used when the verb still has a result in the present. I hope these comments help. Keep up the good work and thanks again 🙏🏼

I' ve never heard the word"narrative" in terms of past tenses. It's just the right term ! Actually we use the past tenses to talk about what happened in the past. It might be a funny story or an accident and to describe things and events in details you need a variety of past tenses. Thank you for the lesson. It's a good idea to highlight the sentences using different colours. It makes your presentation easy and fun to watch Take care You promised to post your videos every week ! It's been long time since you updated the last video. Looking forward to your next one ! Have a great weekend !

Hi Mohammad, When I went to BUY a guitar🎸, i saw the cloud ☁️ It was going to rain ☔ For this bit, I am not sure what you want to say. If you use the past perfect and past perfect continuous you are referring to an earlier past. Is this what you want to say? and I had gone into my car 🚗 before it had been raining.

I have lived in Colombia for many years now. It's a really nice country. We are in the October break week. I could say that is very similar to spring break week in the US. I have been working from home the whole week. By the time I had a free time slot today at noon, my kids had been boring a lot. I decided to go out to a mall just to have some fun. We were going out when suddenly my phone rang. It was my wife; she needed me to take her back from her office. We changed our destination to a new one. We took a taxi. We were still in the taxi when my phone rang again. It was my wife again. She liked to confirm what our plans were. Suddenly, we arrived at the office. We met her by the time we had been buying some awesome donuts. Finally, we got back home.

Great writing! Well done! My kids had been BORED a lot. Then, “she needed me to pick her up from her office.” Also, it is a bit confusing when you say, “ we met her by the time we had been buying some awesome donuts.” Here you are using the wrong tense. Maybe, “we met her while we were buying? “. I hope that helps!

Hi Taco, thanks for the great comment! So pleased you like my lessons! I think your sentence is great. I had been doing my homework when I heard a crash that was scary so I screamed” The tenses are perfect but maybe just a word like "so I screamed." would be better for the flow of the sentence.

I have a question... When saying "It had been raining, then I got in my car"... does it imply the rain stopped before getting in the car? or could it be that it was still raining after it as well? Thanks for all your videos, there are really helpful!
@oxfordenglishnow

Hi Juanka, the past perfect continuous is a verb tense that indicates something that began in the past, continued in the past, and also ended at a defined point in the past. In this case, it means it had stopped raining before getting in the car. Otherwise, if it was still raining you would use the past continuous to describe an action in progress which sets the scene. Hope that helps 🙏🏼
