Thanks very much for joining us and happy holidays.

As they said today, we're going to talk about how to talk about your achievement.

So achievements means the things that you were able to do.

So I thought this would be a great livestream topic to end 2019.

So today, as always, I've broken it into three different parts.

It's a little hard to see, but we'll zoom in.

So don't worry about that s so we're going to start in just a moment.

If you have not already do Be sure to like and share the video.

Where wherever you're watching on YouTube or Facebook.

If you're watching on Instagram, I can't see your comments live.

So I am going to share the video, and then I am going to begin today's lesson.

I'm going to break the grammar points into three parts.

I'm going to look at using a simple past tense, simple past tense to describe your achievements.

And then we're going to practice, uh, present perfect.

Its present perfect tense, including President Perfect, continuous.

And then I'm going to talk about past Perfect.

So we'll do some grammar review of the maybe most requested grammar points from 2019 for the year.

So we use simple past tense for actions that started and ended in the past.

So I've done this many times and live streams and in lessons.

But just to give a visual just to give kind of an image to help you, uh, see the differences between these grammar points.

If we imagine on a timeline, where here this star is now, this direction is the future, and back here is the past we can imagine.

Simple past tense is used to talk about an action of activity, whatever that started in the past.

So if this X is my start point and this is my end point or whatever, So the action started and ended in the past.

Everything happened before the conversation.

So there's no relationship to the present.

This is a difference with the other grammar points in this lesson.

Okay, so let's take a look then, at just some sample sentences, Uh, that used simple past tense to express on achievement.

So, for example, sentence I created I created a website, a website for my company.

So this is just a sample, like a work achievements that you can think about.

So a couple points here first, obviously, the simple past verb here I created I created, so create is tthe e regular the infinitive form of the verb in past tense, it becomes created, created, so created, uh, simple past, as I said, is a good vocabulary word to use here.

This is good for those of you who are like studying English for interviews or studying English for work or maybe practice writing resumes and so on your resume is your work history.

By the way, eso when you're talking about your achievements with words like this, try to choose specific words like created, for example instead of made so words like do or make are very general, but it's a good idea to be specific and choose vocabulary words that kind of have some punch to them.

So instead of I made a website like I created a website, so that kind of shows that from zero to the product, you were in charge of it.

We built a house, four power clients, so different industry here.
