A good tip for learners of English is "if you can't see it, you can't i-n-g it!". This means that any verb which you cannot see someone doing cannot be used in a continuous tense. For example, you cannot say "he is having two brothers" because you cannot see this just by looking at this guy. Also, you cannot say "I am wanting something" because I cannot see you want it. It is the same for every continuous tense.

Language learning tip:
When 'have' is an auxiliary verb (not the main verb), it is always followed by a past participle. This tip will help you in the Cambridge exams. Some examples:
I have eaten my dinner.
She has got two sisters.
I might have known you would call!
I will have been to Paris before I turn 25.
She has been waiting for 3 hours.
It was nice to have met her.
Having said that…

How do you study?
I think language learning comes in three stages: Understanding, Remembering, and Using. Understanding tends to be aspect of learning which is the most focused on, but in my experience, most students are pretty good at this, (language learning is not quantum mechanics); plus, you only have to do this once. The other two aspects are more of a struggle, especially for older learners (I include myself here!). So my question is, how do you ensure you remember what you have studied? Do yo have any interesting methods you would like to share? Also, how to you ensure that you can then use what you have learned in real life situations? Thanks!

What's you favourite word in English?
I have asked this question to hundreds of students and I always love the responses. I really like it when someone has definitively decided what their favourite word is. One student told me her favourite word was 'lollipop', another said it was 'squirrel'. My own, although I have many, is 'myriad'. I like the sound, the spelling and the meaning. What's yours?
