A little about me:
My name is Minoo. I’m originally from Iran, and I live and work in the U.K.
I’m a qualified English teacher and teacher trainer, but that’s not what makes me good at my job.
I just love teaching! It makes me feel good when I can share something I’ve learned with others. That’s why I still love teaching English after 40 years of doing it!
English is such a vast and complicated language! My passion is to make it as easy as possible for others to learn. My students always praise my ‘clear explanations’ and 'structured method'.
I suppose I can explain things well because I’m not a native speaker. I’ve struggled with English pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary myself. I’ve had to work out the rules and learn the exceptions, and I just love sharing my own discoveries with others like me who are learning English as a foreign language.
Thank you so much, everyone, for all the ‘likes’ and your lovely and supportive comments! I'm so grateful for your support!
@AngloLinkEnglish11 years agoThank you, Loisitah. It is great when native speakers appreciate how much effort non-native speakers are putting into learning your beautiful and intricate language. 5

@ludmilastrelnikova746510 years agoHello Minoo, you have such a nice, gentle manner when you explain all your lessons. Thank you so much. I guess it's a good point for me to re-watched the lesson and put things on the right places. 2

@
@KhaliqueRahmanraipur11 years agoVery impressive! State verbs have a continuity of state. Hence, continuous aspect is blocked. That's a beautiful distinction for ESL learners as well as teachers. Very well done, Minoo, you're doing a good job. Thanks. ...2

@
@AngloLinkEnglish11 years agoThat is the whole point, Khaled. When it is a State Verb, the 'Present Perfect' formulation does the same as the 'Present Perfect Continuous' formulation does for Action Verbs: I have been driving this car for 4 years. (Action continues.) I have had this car for 4 years. (State continues.) ...

@asemashraf1295 years agoyour explanation is awesome and clear> thanks alot
@
@AngloLinkEnglish12 years agoIndeed, a 'since' or a 'for' at the end this sentence would have been a better example of the Present Perfect Continuous Tense. However, you might sometimes hear the PPC without 'for' or 'since', because the Tense itself implies that the action has been going on for some time without saying how long exactly. ...
