In this episode, I’m going to help you use two tenses in English grammar with examples: present perfect continuous (for duration) and present perfect simple (for results) for the same situation, but with different meanings! In the previous episode we talked about two questions that you need to answer when you are deciding between present perfect simple and continuous. Do you remember what they were? “Is it finished?” and “Is it important?”
We talked about the first one last time, and today we are answering the second. If you haven’t listened to it yet or haven’t practiced, it would be a good idea to listen to it before starting on this one.
So, do you have 10 minutes? Let’s go!
Remember to go with this flow:
1. Listen to this episode. Listen and try to relax. You will get:
– simple explanations,
– examples,
and,
– chances to practice. So:
2. Listen again, and try to answer the questions out loud. (I can emphasize out loud enough!)
3. Follow me on social media to get reminders for at least one more practice during the week. This time, try to give new answers.

4. If you are listening on YouTube, do not forget to:
- Turn on the CC (Closed Captions),
- “Like” the video (if you liked it!),
- “Subscribe” (because you don’t want to miss extra videos I upload only on YouTube),
and - hit the “Notification” bell (because why not?!)
Now, let’s get going!
