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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Great, grammatically correct questionable accuracy.
