10:20 Before I became a teacher, I HAD WORKED in hotels and restaurants. (This could have been more accurate since there are 2 actions in the past.)

Liked the video. Despite it's a bit longer. However it's really good to give too many examples which help to capture whole picture. Some times one or two examples not enough. However in this video there are lots of examples which I really enjoyed. Thanks.

[syaifullahsyaifullah]

This is a very interesting lesson.
I knew the difference between the simple past and the present perfect.
But you give more examples than other teachers ! There are more acurate clarifications in this video!
I'll watch it again because I really want to master my oral understanding!

I read (or heard) somewhere that the present perfect can be used to emphasize a meaning.
For instance :
"I have lived in Lorient for 6 years" is less significative than "I've been living in Lorient* for 6 years".
The continous form would be a kind of insistance... I wasn't convinced !
In any case for the verb "live"...

But I suppose it can be a slight difference between " I've worked at this factory for two years" and "I've been working...".
The second sentence could mean that I gave much energy to my job! Isn't it?
(*Lorient is a town in Brittany : there is an interesting museum just near it in Port-Louis : Compagnie des Indes Orientales".)

[Grace-vnqw]

Hello! I have a question. in the following sentences I'm not specifically saying when it happens but I explain it was my latest experience so I'm not sure. Which is correct ? "In my latest professional experience I have worked for an American company or In my latest latest profesional experience I worked for an American company".

[hikki]

Does it matter if I use Have worked or Have been working?

[winter]

Shouldn't it be "he's been working here" if he's still working there?

[babu]

After, I signed up, and this sentence came: This site can’t be reached.
