Unbelievably wonderful! Easy to understand, organised, so engaging, smart examples for every point with an explanation. Best video I’ve watched on this topic. Thank you so much.

The young beautiful lady and the young handsome gentleman have done a magnificently good job; they have, actually, demonstrated their exhaustive knowledge of the subject at hand. And they are well acquainted with the incorrigible, widespread, common mistakes the English Language Learners incessantly do, whenever the Perfect Tenses are encountered, and have taken most of them into consideration. They have, incredibly concisely, specifically in a less than 20 - minute - span video lesson, provided the learners of English Grammar, whose extensive yet imperfect knowledge of the correct usage of PPT and PPCT, with a remedial explanatory reference- guideline. Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you for this lesson. I've been being confused by the present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous for years. (Hope this sentence is written correctly.) Now this lesson just made it clear for me. The teachers completely knew how to explain the profound grammar rules in simple language.
