Rock Your English! newsletter

Dahlink! How is your Monday going so far? I hope your day is going better than his…

If you haven’t fallen off a table yet today, this means that YOU ROCK! (Even if you have fallen off a table, I’m sure you looked great doing it, so YOU ROCK anyway.)

WHAT’S UP IN BUFFILAND

There are moments where I try to sit back and observe the rollercoaster-filled hurricane known as My Life and realize just how very lucky I am. I get to work with amazing students, established artists, and write love letters to awesome people like you every single week. Today I want to celebrate my students at the Rockacademie who laugh at my lame jokes every Monday morning and always make my week start out right! I adore you all. Now you shouldn’t be reading this because YOU ARE IN MY LESSON ON MONDAY AT 12! Put down your phone!

I started working with the gorgeously talented Sharon Doorson. It should be illegal for someone to be that talented and beautiful and kind. What a lady, I’m such a happy coach! We’re going to make magic together.

YOUR QUESTIONS – ANSWERED!

“Hey, Buffster, when do you say have been working and have worked? I mix them up all the time!” – L, from Le Twitteur.

Thanks, Lovely L! I understand the confusion – they are both used for a situation that is still going on, but they take different approaches. “I have worked” would be used for something like “I have worked really hard today” because today is not finished. However, if you want to focus on something that is still going on right now and started in the past, then you could say “I have been working on a new project – it’s really interesting!” Another way you can see the difference is this – “I am a writer. I have written 4 books so far. I have been writing a new book on the history of Korean dance tracks. I hope I will finish it soon!” Hope that helps!
