    Hi ma'am I'm so thankful that i found your channel it's so helpful. Now i understand what is the past perfect continuous. I hope you will make a lot of videos like this for those people who can not understand english well.
  • I had been listening to my university lecture when I realised that I still didn't know the difference between active and passive voice. I had been watching Emma teach me about active and passive voice when I saw a video about how to use past perfect tenses in the suggested videos.
  • Nice! Past perfect is a tricky one because we don't use it too often and I often find that when people learn it, they overuse it. However, your explanation is very clear.
