In my native language (Brazilian Portuguese), we don't use Present Perfect, instead we use just Simple Past. Due to this, when I speak in English I need to think if the sentence é Present Perfect or Simple Past. Exemples: I ran yesterday = Eu corri ontem I have run today = Eu corri hoje

Actually, I used to speak in American accent but after watching your videos, British accents kinda more interesting than American.So, I love speaking in British accent. Thanks Sir Keith 🧡

One of the greatest video ever,sir. We really appreciate it!

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

It doesn't set my back a lot of money to get so many great phrasal verbs, because I have Mr. Keith teach me freely on youtube. So thank you so much!!!

Hi teacher I' m a new learner. GREAT TO KNOW YOUR TRshow CHANNEL. God bless you!

Hello sir . All your lessons are fascinating & reflect warmth . You speak so clearly that even A non native speaker may follow effortlessly .you have taught us listening reflectively & speaking naturally . In this lesson phrasel verbs have been discussed amazingly . To nail down is very subtle phrase . Can we say hit the nail on the head in place of nail down ? To iron out is extremely useful & interesting way of saying to get rid of smoothly as you have shown. 😊 . Your lessons are not only instructive for ielts speaking test but also for anybody who wishes to speak natural spoken English comfortably & impressively . Thank you .

Thanks teacher!I like this example;do away with exam forever.I'm so happy to learn with you.

Best teacher ever. You are the reason for my qualifying my A1 test at the Dsm Tanzania. Thank you a lot
