Good evening to both of you,
I would like to ask you a question, please. In addition to "always", "constantly" and "continuously", with which other adverbs of frequency can we use the present continuous ?

Hi! I have been confused a lot with the use of the present continuous in "I am turning 18 next year". I have asked someone and they said that it doesn't talk about a plan, so, I am confused here.
What does it talk about in your view ? Is it about a fact about the future ? If so, how is it possible to use the present continuous for facts about the future ? Because usually the present simple and the future simple are used for facts about the future, as in "I will be 18 tomorrow", or "My birthday is on 14 June", but "I am turning 18" confuses me. If it's a plan, it confuses me even more because how can someone plan on being alive ? No one has control over it.
I need help with this, I would be happy if you could help 😊
Thank you!

Thank you for the lesson. I'm studying about how the present continuous is used for a temporary habit.
I have one question about habit and the present perfect.
Can we use "present perfect" to talk about habit when it's connected to the when-clause ?
For example: "I have done my homework when my sister uses her laptop".
Here I'm using the present perfect to show that in general when my sister uses her laptop, I have done my homework or my homework is already done/completed.
Is it possible to use the present perfect in that way ?
I'm not asking about this kind of use of present perfect : "I have gone to the gym for years" to talk about a habit that has been going on for years. But I'm talking about the present perfect being used to talk about a habit and connected to the when-clause, as in: "I have done my homework when my sister uses her laptop" to mean that in general my homework is already completed or done when my sister uses her laptop.
Is it possible ?
Thank you a lot in advance.

Thank you for the lesson! I understand it better now! After watching this video i started to be curious about "always" + "the present continuous" . What I'm curious about is when we're using the present continuous with always to talk about annoying habits Is it an ongoing habit ? I mean that when we're saying "He's always talking in class" is that an ongoing habit ? Or is it factual or in other words is it general and not an ongoing annoying habit ?

Because when We say "I work at KFC" we know that this is not an ongoing habit. But when we say "I'm working at KFC" we know that it's habit but it's an ongoing habit.
That's why I'm curious about "always" + "the present continuous" if it's an ongoing annoying habit or not.
Thank you for your lesson!

Thank you for this complete quiz. It's a very informative way to test yourself. It's very instructive to see how my scores are at the different levels. On level 1 and 2, I scored 5/5; on level 3, I scored 4/5, on level 4, I scored 3/5 and on level 5 I scored 8/13. So, I have a lot of work to do to improve my English to a higher level :-).

Hi thank you for the lesson.
It's really helpful! I've been watching videos from this channel! I have a question to ask about the past continuous, I've been trying to find the answer.
If someone says "I was working for 5 years" instead of "I worked for 5 years"
Does it mean that working was temporary for them ?
Or does it depend on the context ? Or in every context where the past continuous is used in that way does it always mean the situation is temporary ?
Thank you so much.

Hi , I would like to review what the video is about.

You mentioned that we use the present simple for something that happens permanently and we use the present continuous for something that happens temporarily.

In one of your questions, it says "I'm playing tennis every Friday"
Every + time is an adverb of frequency. We can use it with the present continuous, but why can we not use it with adverbs of frequency like "Usually, often, sometimes"
Why is it like this ?
Why it's not possible to say " I'm often talking to her" but it's possible to say " I'm talking to her every day".
Aren't 'every day' and 'often' the same ? Both of them are adverbs of frequency.

I'm perplexed, because it's possible to use with "every day, every Friday" , but it's not possible to use with "often, seldom, usually". Because 'every day' and 'often, sometimes' are the same because those are Adverbs of frequency

Could you explain why in more detail ? This is one of the grammar topics that English teachers rarely explain. Thank you for your effort.

Hi, I've always been your loyal student :), A lot of your videos are useful, all of them.
Would you answer my question ? Because someone has taught me something. And i would like you to tell me if I'm correct with my point.

The point :
We choose to use the present perfect continous over the present perfect simple if :
- action started in the past - continues to the present
- will likely continue into the future

Is that right ? So if i say :
- 'I have been playing football for several months' ( it means that i will likely continue )
- 'I have played football for several months' ( it means that i'm less likely to continue )

Is that right ?
Or not ?

Thank you so much. Stay Blessed and Healthy !

I wasn't sure about two points. I wouldn't say I'm realizing but I'm beginning to realize. Also when there's every, like every Friday, that suggests to me some permanence justifying the simple present tense rather than the continuous form. But in all, it's a very informative video. I watched it because I'm curious if you can see some change in the use of the Present Continuous tense - to my ear, it has become more often used than it used to be, let's say some 30 years ago. By that I mean forms like "I'm loving it" or even "I'm understanding it" that I've heard from native speakers. Am I right about it? Can you confirm this trend?
