a week you can learn English and over let's talk with the first and easiest
01:10 02:54
130 other languages from anywhere in the use of have been has been and had been
01:13 02:59
world as long as you have a stable this might be the easiest but it's where
01:16 03:02
internet connection a lot of my students get confused and
01:17 03:05
it's an incredibly affordable way of make mistakes we use have been has been
01:20 03:08
learning a language much cheaper than an and had been when talking about travel
01:22 03:12
offline tutor or Language Academy so experience for example we have been to
01:25 03:16
many people message me and ask me how Seville many times this means we have
01:27 03:19
visited Seville many times note that years or I have been studying English
03:23 05:23
it's been to but just visited without to since 2016 when we use for we're talking
03:27 05:28
that's another common mistake about the duration or the amount of time
03:29 05:30
another example I've been to Italy three for six years for two months when we say
03:34 05:36
times I've visited Italy three times i since we are talking about the starting
03:39 05:39
reduced have to just apostrophe ve I've point 2016 was my starting point for
03:45 05:43
we can also use it as a question for studying English so with studying
03:48 05:46
example have you been to Mexico yes I've English
03:52 05:46
been to Mexico or no I haven't been to I started in 2016 and I have continued
03:56 05:50
Mexico please note that we can't talk for three years until the present day
03:59 05:53
about specific times I have been to another example William has been
04:03 05:55
Mexico last year is wrong we're talking watching TV since midday or William has
04:08 06:00
about general experience life experience been watching TV for four hours pursuing
04:10 06:03
not specific times now we will talk it's 4:00 in the afternoon now we don't
04:14 06:06
about had been a little bit more in the always want to talk about a specific
04:17 06:08
next section but just to give a general action we might just want to talk about
04:20 06:10
overview you can use a situation without focusing on that
04:23 06:13
Ben when talking about travel experience specific action for example he has been
04:26 06:17
we used had been when talking about two a cleaner for 11 months he has been a
04:30 06:20
events in the past for example when I cleaner since January or we've been
04:34 06:24
visited Milan last year I had never been together for two and a half years we've
04:38 06:26
to Italy before there are two past tense been together since 2017 now let's take
04:41 06:32
verbs here I visited in the simple past a deeper look into hadbeen I'm going
04:45 06:36
and I had never been both happened in take the sentences that we use to learn
04:49 06:38
the past and it means up until the point have been and has been and shown you how
04:52 06:41
last year when I went to Milan for the they're used with hadbeen and we'll see
04:55 06:44
first time before that I had never how the meaning changes so let's take I
04:57 06:47
visited Italy we'll talk more about this have been studying English for three
05:02 06:50
in the next section let's discuss the years let's look at the first example I
05:05 06:53
second use of these forms actions or had been studying English for three
05:09 06:56
situations that started in the past and years when I left the school I started
05:12 07:00
are still continuing now for example I studying English at a specific point in
05:16 07:02
have been studying English for three the past
05:19 07:03
three years ago I continued studying for been we use them in the passive voice
07:07 08:56
three years and then I left the school now I use the website ebay a lot I don't
07:09 09:00
it ended it finished I stopped studying like to bid on things I like to submit
07:12 09:02
English very sad never stopped in the offers and I receive a lot of emails
07:16 09:06
present I no longer study English there telling me your offer has been accepted
07:20 09:09
are two past actions here one continuous your offer has been accepted this
07:24 09:13
past action I had been studying English sentence is in the passive voice in the
07:29 09:16
and a single finished action at the end active voice it would be the seller has
07:33 09:20
I left compare this to the previous accepted your offer
07:37 09:22
sentence I have been studying English eBay uses the passive voice because the
07:40 09:25
for three years here there is only one seller isn't important in this situation
07:43 09:27
continuous action it hasn't finished its what's important is my offer so the
07:47 09:31
continuing in the present only use had focus of the sentence is on the offer
07:50 09:34
been if there are two actions in the another example a postal company might
07:53 09:37
past one continuous action and one say your parcels have been delivered to
07:57 09:40
single finished action let's have a look a neighbor that's the passive voice in
08:00 09:42
at the other example sentences and the active voice they would say we have
08:03 09:45
change them two had been William had delivered your parcels to a neighbor
08:05 09:48
been watching TV for four hours when he using the passive voice is a great
08:08 09:50
stopped to do some housework the technique for companies and politicians
08:11 09:53
continuous action had been watching and who want to remove any responsibility
08:14 09:56
the single finished action stopped he from a situation a politician might say
08:18 09:59
stopped he had been a cleaner for 11 mistakes have been made instead of I
08:22 10:02
months when he quit his job have made mistakes the active voice
08:24 10:06
the continuous action he had been and focuses too much on them when the
08:28 10:09
the single finished action he quit and passive voice removes them from the
08:31 10:11
the last one a sad one we had been situation so how do we use hadbeen in
08:35 10:16
together for two and a half years when the passive voice admittedly it's not so
08:38 10:21
we broke up the continuous action we had common this is quite advanced but it's
08:41 10:23
been and the single finished action we important that you know it because I'm
08:45 10:25
broke up now let's move on to the third sure you will hear it we use had been in
08:48 10:28
and the passive voice if this is a recurring
08:49 10:31
no use of have been has been and had theme there are two actions in the past
08:52 10:34
for example the marketing campaign had evidence destroyed right
10:38 13:19
