Given the fantastic explanations, it wouldn't be fair to our teacher to score anything other than a 100% on the test. Thanks a million, Teacher Arnel.

I've been studying for my IELTS test, and one of the course I need to learn is this chapter. Actually it's not easy for me to understand, but after I've watched this video, now I can understand it..
Thank you for your explanation it's really helpful ☺️☺️

I have been completed my bachelor's and master's long ago but actually, I am being clear about my grammatical mistakes recently. Especially your classes are helping me the best. I can easily relate to communicating with myself the way of your listening techniques. It's really resourceful. Words could not be enough to express my gratitude to you. Thanks a lot!

[rahulkhokher]

You are one of the best teachers that I have learnt so far. Thanks for this.

[dragonchoi]

Super easy to understand for anyone. I had been confused by the difference between past continuous and past perfect continuous since I started studying English, I understood well after watching your explanation. Thank you. You made my day.

Could I be more thankful hahahah

[englishwithsamee]

Arnel I am not gonna lie to you, I have actually attempted all of them correct. I have been working on perfect and perfect continuous videos in present and past tenses lately.
I must say this, the way you have explained couple of your advance level structures, nobody has actually.
Thanks a lot to be on YouTube Arnel.🙏

Arnel's grammar explanation is very interesting and easy to understand, thank you so much!

[bernarddupuy]

Thank you so much for your video. I’m French but I understand everything you are explaining. It’s very clear.

[romsoul]

It's the most thoroughly explained lesson I've ever seen . You are wonderful teacher Arnel

[lxoxyxi]

Fantastic explanation. I have understood all the rules by one time watching and it was quite amazing. I can't help watching it again and there's something I have noticed that when you watch the same thing again and again, you always find out newer things and that's a mystery. Thumbs up! I appreciate that! Cheers!
