Absolutely! Thanks for clicking.

Alex

Alex. I am thinking your teach. You are very successful

nuray44

Well said

kotoz

Hello Alex! Thank you for the awesome lesson. It is so interesting to learn new using of familiar grammar constructions.
You are the best! You are constantly helping people to improve their English.
I got 100 percent on the quiz due to your clear explanation.
I spent some time to find difference between first and fourth answers on question 5 :)
Best regards, Elena.

Elena

Well done! I’m glad I’ve been able to help you and others. :) It makes my day to read and hear things like that.

Alex

Your quick replay made my day too :) Thank you very much for responding and correcting my mistakes.

Elena

Hm, I think my third sentence in comment above is not correct. Maybe “It is so interesting to learn ABOUT new using of familiar grammar constructions” will be better?

Elena

“It is so interesting to learn new ways to use familiar grammar constructions.”

Alex

Je vous souhaite un aussi agréable apprentissage du français, que celui que j’ai à suivre vos leçons.

Thank You, Alex! It is exacly what I needed. Now it’s much more clearer about present continuos usage.

gantikus

That’s great to hear! Thanks for clicking!

Alex

Thanks Alex great lesson

levi1

Thanks a lot, levi!

Alex

9/10… The last one was chosen incorrect, but I cannot catch the meaning. I chose a pre-arranged future plan and was sure it was right. I would use present continuous myself, I agree with that! But I cannot understand why is it a temporary action/behaviour?

Diana Arkovika

Haven’t you read? “While it is a future plan, it’s also something THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS PERSON’S REGULAR BEHAVIOR”

Alikmalikk70

Hi Alex,, thank you so much for the lesson. Wow! I have got 9/10.

bellatimor

Hi Alex, thank you so much)) I’ve got 10)

RussMaria

Hello Maria,

I would like to practice my English with you. I know the Russian language too. So I think it would be better for us to improve our English together. Here is my e-mail: seferova.r@gmail.com. If you’d like to communicate with me too, e-mail me.

Best Regards,
Roya.

Roya Seferova

Hi
you are right
the people use the Present Simple tense always when
the action is general
*I am not fat.
the action happens all the time, or habitually, in the past, present and future
*The Moon goes round the Earth.
the action is not only happening now
*John drives a taxi.
the statement is always true
*I live in Iraq.

Alaa@

hi, RussMaria.

titim2001

thank you very much

houssam.ing

We also use the present continuous if we’re talking about things that happen all the time and with some frequency. For example, the train is leaving on Friday at 6pm.Or… The plane is flying at 9 am on Monday. I mean schedule of something.Alex, am I right? thanks for your reply

RussMaria

You can certainly say those things, but for schedules, it’s more common to use the present simple. “The train leaves at 6.” BUT! If you use the present continuous, it’s not a big deal. Every native speaker will understand your meaning, and they speak that way too.

Alex

Thank you very much!

RussMaria

we can talk on e-mail for improve . What you think ?

hi, I’m an intermediate English student I try to improve my English, can you help me, please. thank you

Good morning Alex, thank you very much for this interesting and very useful lesson.

Jacy

Many thanks! but I have a question.
You say “n°4” a temporary action/behavior and “n°5” a repeated behavior !!!!!
Aren’t they opposite things? How to know which scenario is it ?

epamynondas

Thank you Alex . To say honestly, just this topic was interested me recently. The lesson is short in terms of time ,but is wide in terms of using . I am always surprising about engvid lessons. They are always interesting. Thank you very much.

anahit15

Thanks for checking it out! It can be tough, but I wanted to give the essential information here.

Hi,Alex!
I am learning a lot with Engvid.
Today I solved doubts about present continuous.
I am very happy.
Thank you for this excelent job.

werickson03

That’s great! I’m glad I was able to help you out. Thanks for clicking.

Alex

Great lesson! Thank you (:

Rayane Michelle

This is awesome, incredibly great ?

sherwincasilao

Good lesson Alex. I’ve made my mistake here.
He’s always helping others. Because a word ‘Always’ confused me very. Why not to say ‘He always helps others’?
Thank you.

legless-rover

You can say that as well. Present simple is used for habits, but you can add the emphasis of repetition by using the present continuous as well.

“He always helps others.” (correct)
“He’s always helping other.” (also correct with more focus on him repeating the action)

I hope this helps! Good question.

Alex

Hi Alex! Thanks for a useful lesson! Please, help me to find out why I answered the last question incorrect??? I thought , I was sure it was a pre-arranged future plat, but it wasn’t. I still have the question… WHY?

Diana Arkovika

“He usually stays home on Thursday nights…” This is a regular behavior. “…but tonight, he’s going out…” This is a temporary action/behavior.

Slavik

You got it. Basically, “He usually does this…but TONIGHT…he’s DOING this.”

In the end, the answer is not as important as just understanding that you CAN use the present continuous in this scenario. :)

Alex

Thanks, Alex. This is a very useful lesson.

byte

Thanks, Alex. Very helpful.

vitorlucas01

Hey, teacher Alex! I´ve just watched your very important lesson, but I´m a little confused about the third rule, because that´s exactly what I was NOT told: Is it ok if I either say “I´m going to visit Iceland in December” or “I´m visiting Iceland in December”, for example? Is it gramatically right? If it is, please let me know. Take care.

Emanoel Pereira

Hi
I think both are correct.
Let’s go waiting for Alex’s answer.
Good question Emanoel.

werickson03

Both are correct. Grammar books and teachers might try to tell you that the continuous is wrong here, but try to convince any native English speaker that it’s wrong and they’ll just give you a funny look. :)

Alex

I see. Thanks a lot for the heads-up. ;)

Emanoel Pereira

Hi Alex, Thanks for the great lesson !

We are always waiting for your lessons, they are very interesting. Thank you, Alex!

Slavik

Only the other day, due to a sentence that I was reading, in a textbook, did I come to realize that I didn’t have a clue as to what made up a sentence. Yes, the sentence was very complicated, but I’m sure it would have been very easily understood by someone with the slightest of a grammar background. I’m hoping that your grammar programs will change the English Game for me because at this point I don’t think I’m even on the Ballfield. Thanks, FR

firstreviewer

I’m happy to help you out. Thanks for checking us out!

may I ask if you can make videos like this video , talking about another grammar and how many ways to use them ? :)
Thanks again ^_^

salam kayssoun

For sure. :) We have a lot of grammar videos on the website already, but I’m sure there are students who want to know EVERY way to use a grammar tense.

Alex

Sorry I meant if you can talk about another tenses in english and how many ways to use them ? :D

salam kayssoun

the last case in the quiz was quite tricky for me : ) thanks for the lesson Alex !

SergeyIrk

What is the difference between preposition inside and into?

Rahim

“Inside” is actually an adverb like “here” or “there.” “Into” is a preposition.

“I’m inside the classroom.” (I am in the classroom)
“I’m walking into the classroom.” (I am walking through the door)

Alex

Thank you :)

Mahmut.akn

Thanks, I got 90%.

Abdul Qayum

Thanks sir for this great lesson! .In fact i would like to ask you a question. So my question is what’s the meaning of these idioms”get off Your high horse and pull your neck back in ” and”High Horse Descent Required “? I hope your reply.

Bushra hg

“Get off your high horse” means to become humble and stop acting superior to other people.

“Pre-marital sex is evil and wrong!”
“Oh please, get off your high horse.”

I’ve never heard of the other idiom.

Alex

Thank you so much!

Bushra hg

hi alex,thanks alex. This is reaaly useful

Nzr1940

Nice job! Keep it up and thanks for studying with EngVid.

Alex

Hello, Alex!
I thing tha the last question was a little confused.
“He usually stays home on Thursday nights, but tonight, he’s going out with friends.”
What kind of usage is this?
an action happening right now
a temporary action/behavior
a pre-arranged future plan

I thoght that it was a pre-arranged future plan, but it wasn’t. :(

VanessaPantaleao

It’s a matter of interpretation. It sounds like quite a few students are having problems with this one. It’s a temporary action because he USUALLY stays at home, but TONIGHT he’s changing his behaviour temporarily and going out. It could still be a future plan, though, so I see where students can become confused.

As long as you know you can use the present continuous in this scenario, that’s really the most important thing.

Alex

Thank You, Alex for the good lesson!

Nikita.Suvorov

Hi Alex,I think #1 question is not correct answer because of adverb of frequency (always),it should be in present simple tense.He’s always helps others,sounds more correctly,doesn’t it?

cuongchung1

“He always helps others” is correct because you can absolutely use the present simple to talk about habits or regular behaviours, but it’s also possible to use the continuous to emphasize the repetition of the action.

Alex

Thanks ,alot 10 out of 10

Hi Alex, thanks for teaching us these new 5 ways of using the present continuos.

Aleachi

Alex, thanks a bunch! … You are one of my favourite teachers on the net ! … I really love your accent a lot ! … A question about this topic:

I know that Future with BE GOING TO is almost a 100 % certain action in the future. With WILL, the future refers that the action probably occurs, but I am not sure about it.

Am I right in my interpretation?

However, if I say:

* I am going to travel to New York, next week.
* I will travel to New York, next week.

In this case, Is there any difference between those sentences?

Best wishes from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, South America! *

¡ SALUDROS FRATERNOS !

Thanks in advance!

* ¡ SALUDOS FRATERNOS ! … Hehehehe I CAN’T BELEIVE IT : A spelling mistake in my own native language ! … I’m looking forward to having your answer ! ### G’day, dear teacher!

Could you help me? Sometimes, when I read texts I see these words: The Earth, the earth and Earth. I understand that when we use this word Earth we mean planet, but why people sometimes use – The Earth. Maybe is it mistake or maybe I’m wrong. Could you explain me how to use it correctly?

could you please explain what’s the difference between these two formula.
again, thanks a lot

Muhannad Ghazal

Your lesson is always useful. Thank you, Alex.
Let me ask a question.
For example,
What’s the difference between “My mom is visiting me this weekend.” and “my mom is going to visit me this weekend.”?

jang meeeun

Alex,sir,it’s very good. But i am fetching problems to mean a sentence.What can i do?

reza

Hello, I need to clear my doubts. One rule says: both “I feel hurt ” and I am feeling hurt ” are correct. Another says: feel is a non-continuous verb and only can be used in continuous by the way indicated : “He is feeling a baby’s forehead” . where “is feeling” means-touch. SO, does it mean that feel can be used in continuous by two ways? Where the first is talking about physical pain and the second is “touch” meaning. Is conclusion correct? Thanks in advance :)

learn to learn

hii how are you

JUANPABLO02

Hi,
I’ve also heard this rule about “state verbs”.
Engvid’s search engine brings us a lesson on it : https://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-stative-verbs/
In the comments trainer Ronnie explains that “I am feeling” is an exception.
Funny thing, same question came to me with Alex’s example : “Why are you being so selfish?”
Pretty sure I’ve also heard that some verbs can be both stative or active. Alex could also said
“Why are you acting so selfish?”
Continuous tense here emphases something temporaly.

Hope it helps.

Cindylyx

Hey Alex ! Thank you for the lesson. It was a piece of cake and really intersting. I would like,of course if it is possible, to give us a lesson concerning the present perfect especially its colloquial usage. Because I have talked to many native speakers then I found out that they dont use it that as much as the past simple even though, according to “English standard”, they should use it instead of the past simple

hamza.ghanami

Why the last one is not an action happenning right now?

Oh,im just correct 9/10
I made a mistake when i thought playing video these days mean that recent action and will stop not instantly action

but i want to ask about something made me confused
i think an action is happening during this period we use present perfect continuous because that started in the past and still happening.
thanks in advance

Very nice lesson
My question is if these two sentences belowe have the same meaning:
1. Are you going to the concert next week?
2. Will you go to the concert next week?.

=
Are there any difference between present continuos and simple future tense.

Hello Alex. Thank you for explaining the Present Progressive so well and completely. I was wondering if you could do more lessons covering each of the 12 verb tenses as well. I have problems to choose the right past tense when speaking. For example I don´t know if to say:
“Did you close the window?
“Have you closed the window?
“Were you closing the window?

Thanx so much and exuse for my bad English.
