Hello sir, I'm gonna say sth unbelievable. I had speaking test this morning. Coincidentally, I watched ur video about best clothes u wore yesterday. Amazingly, I faced exactly the same cue card. I was taken aback. I used ur nice vocab as much as I could. I hope to get a good score. The way u teach is adorable.

Dear Keith, I do appreciate the videos you've made for those who want to learn English. They really help me a lot to figure out some little difference between those tenses. Thank you very much and take care.

I have been studying English recently, and I just discovered your channel and I really feel extremely lucky. Thank you so much. There are some sentences I made up about this topic:
*My sister's fionce has gone to Italy, so she has been really missing him lately.
*I love travelling and I have been to many countries including Spain, France, Poland, Netherlands and Italy.
*They dont't know how to deal with it. They have been trying to understand what's going on first.

Wich your video I can watching is another door for my English knowledge. Another brick to build, as you say, my fluency and linguistic property....thank you again from Sevilla, Spain

I'm not incredibly myself.Why I have learned a twelve tenses.I have been watching your you tube video since November 2022 until now.I'm so blessed thank God.I really want to learn English.I will continue my English learning.

[ghazalhosseini]

i've been learning English these days but i'm not confident enough. you change my attitudes toward learning English and make me ambitious. Thank you for every thing Mr. Keith.

[warrior_number]

This is one of the best videos I have ever watched. As a matter of fact, I had been struggling to understand the difference between present continuous and present perfect continuous until I watched the video and from now on I will have been using these tenses much more accurately than I used to. By the way I have been watching your videos for approximately 6 months and on 3rd October Saturday evening I will have taken my exam. Your videos are really like a needle in a haystack in this way that is why I have never missed watching one of your videos. I hope I will come top in my exam rather than scraping through it

[deyankolev]

[Arifur-Rahman]

Awesome teaching method. This video really helped me. Thank you.

[a.mie.]

You have this wonderful balanced, positive and tonge-in- cheek manner (not sure, if that would be the correct way to put it in English), that makes you a very likeable and pleasant teacher!

I've been learning English for 10 years, and you're the first person who gave the clear explanation of the difference between PP and PPC! Thank you. :)
