Thanks very much for joining us.

Great to have you.

So today, As I said today, we're looking at present.

Perfect tense focus.

So this is going to be, like, a very focused a lesson on this one grammar point.

And I'm going to cover a little bit of, uh, progressive as well, President.

Perfect.

Progressive or present?

Perfect.

Continuous.

So I'm going to slow down my rate of speech in just a second.

All right, so I haven't told you so if you're just joining, please do make sure to like the video and share the video so that other people can find today's lesson.

I'm going to share the video, and then I am going to begin s o As always, I have made the lesson into a few different sections.

Oh, I just did the wrong thing.

I've have made the lesson into a few different sections.

Eso We're going to start with just some basic patterns that you can use as you're talking about your job experience or your study experience.

So let's begin over here.

General work experience will be the first thing I want to focus on.

So let's begin by reviewing then.

Oh, let's begin by reviewing how we make present Perfect how we make present Perfect is with this have plus past participle formed when your subject is I.

So for today's lesson, I'm going to focus on using I as the subject and then I'll introduce later some some sentences, some patterns that use he or she as the subject as well.

So let's begin with I as the subject to talk about your general work or your general study experience.

So to review basic present perfect.

I have plus past participle, So this is the past participle form of a verb.

So this is something you need to study for each for each verb, so some are easy to remember.

They end in this e D.

Some, however, are irregular.

I'm not going to cover a lot of verbs in this lesson.

I'm going to focus on some verbs you can use to express your work and your study experience.

So please feel free to send your examples in the chat to I will try to check.

Okay, so I have plus past participle.

So here I've made this pattern to express your current workplace.

So this is a pattern for your Kurt.

Your current workplace means the place where you work now or the place where you study now.

So this can mean your your office, your company, your university, your school, wherever you are based.

Now.

So this is your current job, this pattern, current job or current study.

So I have plus past participle verb, for example, worked or studied or maybe researched if you're a researcher.

So I have worked here here That means at this specific location.

So this sentence is good if you are at your company or you are after your school explaining something like you're explaining now in the conversation from the location your based in and then four I'm going to talk about four first four and then a length of time, a length of time.

So we commonly use four and I'll talk about in just a moment since as well, we use thes with present perfect tense.

But the difference is that after four, we give a length of time a duration of time after, since we use a point in time.

So I'll talk about this in just a second.

So when you express your general work experience or your study experienced, too, I have, for example, worked here for six years.

So use past partisan over the past participle form of your verb to express whatever is correct for you.

So I will look for your examples at CIA in YouTube.

The YouTube cha says I have worked in Ah hospital for two years, good in ah hospital.

So this part here I've used here to mean the current location.

But if you want to talk about more generally like ah hospital or like at, ah, police station or something, use use up, plus the location.

So you're being very general.

I have worked at an office for two years to be super general.

Some other examples many people are still saying hello.

Some people say I have been something Ah sha Hell says I have studied in Bangladesh for 10 years.

So if you want to describe, like a city or a country use in country in city So I have studied in country or I have studied in city for I have said he'd at, uh on a place.

My place.

I mean, like physical building, like hospital, office, station and so on.

So a couple of different ways we can change this examples air coming in.

Great.

I have studied English for two years.

Perfect.

I have worked on YouTube since two years.

Careful as I talked about this four and since is important to remember Yeah, so four length of time after four should be a length of time since Should be a point in time in the past 2010.

That's a point in time.

Yesterday is a point in time.

I have Ah.

What was it I have worked on YouTube 42 years is correct.

So please be careful.

Duration or point in time in the past, uh, mayor says I have worked here for 1000 years.

Great, grammatically correct questionable accuracy.

OK, sorry.

OK, let's continue to the second pattern then, Uh, let's go to this one.

Since many people are using Since, uh, I've been up or an job title since point in time.

So this pattern is used not to talk about the place where you work but your role.

So the name of your job I've said this is actually this is the reduced form of this.

I have Yeah, I have been reduces to I've been This is a pronunciation and a listening point for many of you.

I've been a or an job title since point in time.

So again, this can be a year.

This can be a week.

Whatever.

Some point in time in the past is necessary.

Right Here, for example, I've been a teacher for our Sorry since since Oh, wow, 2010.

Maybe I've been a teacher since tooth.

Oh, my gosh.

2000.

Wow.

2010 maybe so.

Using since means I have to use a point in time.

I cannot say since 10 years.

That's incorrect.

We use lengths of time with four.

So since 2010 is a nice one in my case.

The other things.

You'll notice I've got this up or an here.

Yeah, So make sure when you have a vowel sound at the beginning of your job title, you use an, for example, an engineer.

Yeah.

So if you do not have a vowel sound at the beginning of your job title used, uh, I've been a teacher.

I've been up researcher.

I've been an engineer, so keep in mind, this is not about spelling.

It's about vowel sounds.

Actually, examples are coming in breach.

Okay, on Facebook, Aaron Paul says, I've been a supervisor since 2010.

Nice Amal.

It says.

I've been a nurse for six months.

So many of you.

Many of you have homework.

Many of you have homework of seeing this four since problem.

Everybody's homework this week.

Practice four.

Length of time.

It's 46 years for three months.

46 days since.

Needs a point in time.

Yeah, so a lot of people, a lot of people I'm seeing in your examples are mixing this up.

Other examples.

I've been a student since 2012.

Great.

Yes.

So a point in time can be a year Great 2012 is a good example.

Okay.

I've been a student with you since 2007.

That's not possible.

I haven't been on the internet teaching since 2007 so I have been an engineer since 2012.

Get good.

Many people are fixing.

Okay.

I have been a designer since 2010.

Good over on YouTube.

I've been a mechanic since 2017.

Perfect.

I've been working at a hospital on reports.

Okay.

We'll talk about projects in just a moment then.

I've been a bank officer since 2001.

Good.

Okay, everybody got it.

Now that now that I find it out, for instance, again.

Good.

Okay.

Sounds good to me.

Now I see everything is correct.

Now everyone is using a year.

Great work.

Great work.

Okay, so let's continue to the last pattern for this section.

The last powdered is about projects.

So, like tusks that you're working on things you are doing inside your job.

So this uses present perfect, continuous or present perfect progressive.

So a reminder.

We use this grammar point when we want to talk about something that started in the past and continues to the present in the compra in the situation, and it's probably going to continue after the conversation as well.

So to make this we use the same I've I've and then our past participle bin.

And then we follow this with the progressive or the continuous form of a verb.

So that means, is I N g for I've been working so a key here.

I've been working, I've used on here because I wanted to focus on projects like I made this a very general example sentence.

So when you want to express a project, you can say I've been working on a this video.

Siri's So Project is a noun phrase here.

I've been working on this video, Siri's for or sins something, or I've been working on these reports.

Somebody wrote that in the YouTube shot earlier, or I've been working on a new product for six months, or I've been working on a new product since last month, so you can use either for or since at the end of this, just as we have with these other patterns, too.

But the key here, you're introducing a project, some kind of task, something that you've been working on Don't forget this proposition.

I've been working on notaries, so send me your projects and I will check Some people just say I have been working.

Yes, I have been working on what?

So express your project.

What is your project?

So for me, I have been working on a video.

Siri's for almost a year now.

Oh, match.

It's been a long time.

I've been working on Ah, video.

Siri's for almost a year.

So some other ones okay.

Good on YouTube.

True.

Says I've been working on a sign language translator for eight years.

Whoa.

Is that like, an app or something?

That sounds interesting.

Uh, Bolin says I have been working on new research since 2018.

Good.

I've been working on a new project since September's as Patricia.

Cool.

Cool.

Cool.

Cool.

Ah, Other examples on Facebook.

I have been teaching English for 14 years.

Okay, uh, mold says I have been working on this job since yesterday.

Excellent.

Uh, it's going very fast.

I don't see eye.
