So which is better poking loner?

Spiderman.

Okay.

Hi, everybody.

Welcome back to ask Alicia the Weekly Siri's where you ask me questions and I answered them.

Maybe first question this week comes from curry mug and high.

Kareema.

Kareema says highly Sha, could you please tell me what does the expression give it a try Mean, give it a try is a friendly way to suggest someone Try something So we use Give it a try.

Like after we show someone a process We teach someone how to do something, We show them how to do something And then we say, OK, give it a try like now it's your turn.

Please try this thing I showed you.

Give your at the golf course and you show someone how to swing a golf club.

You could say All right, give it a try.

I think we do it on this channel.

Actually, we introduced, like, a vocabulary point or a grammar point and then ask you give it a try.

So it's a suggestion to try something.

Hope that helps you.

Thanks for the question.

OK, next question.

Next question comes from Sanju High.

Sanju Sanju says.

What is the main difference between simple past and present and past participle or perfect tense?

The main difference is that simple past tense is used for actions that started and finished in the past.

There is often a specific time point.

We know when the action started and when the action finished with perfect tense, though we don't know when the action started or when the action finished.

So we use it to talk about, like life experience in the past, like maybe when it happened is not so important.

But we use it for, like, travel experience or job experience.

So that's one thing that we do with perfect tints.

The other thing is, we use it to talk about actions that started in the past and that continued to the present, especially with the continuous tense.

We also do this to talk about the effects of actions that started in the past and continued to the present.

So like, for example, I saw Beyonce live last week is past incidents.

So when we want to use the perfect tense like we've seen Beyonce live so many times.

That means we've seen Beyonce in the past many times.

But when is not important?

So we used that perfect tense we've seen.

We have seen so another example.

Like when I get this question, I sometimes will say, like I've talked about this many times.

I have talked about this many times is a perfect tense statement.

So in the past, I have discussed this.

This is something I talked about, uh, at points in the past so I can use perfect tents to describe them.

So if you have any questions about simple past tense or present perfect tents, I would recommend checking the videos that we have on the website or on the YouTube channel.

So I talk more about how to use Thies to grammar points.

Thanks for the question.

I hope that that helps.

Okay, next question.

Next question comes from semi high gin semi semi says hi.

What's the difference?

I want you to know I want to, you know, I want, you know, from these choices on Lee, the 1st 1 is grammatically correct.

I want you to know so it could introduce something that could introduce an idea like, I want you to know I did my best.

The other two things that are you presented here they're not grammatically correct.

Maybe with some punctuation.

Or maybe in a conversation with the right emphasis, they could be part of something else.

I'm not sure, but the other two things are not grammatically correct.

So the difference here is that your first option is correct and it can begin an idea.

I hope that that helps you.

Okay, let's move on to your next question.

Next question comes from Danny.

Hi, Danny.

Hanging, Danny, Danny says.

I'd like to know about finish, has finished and is finished.

OK, um, finished can be a noun or a verb, as in the first item.

Just finish in present tense.

It's used in present situations or to talk about future situation.

So, like let's finish work or we should finish this soon so we can go to the party.

Something like that.

Let's finish.

So that's an upcoming activity.

Let's go on to is finished.

When we see this is finished, it's actually finished being used as an adjective.

So we know that because we see is there is our verb.

So like he is finished.

She is finished, class is finished, so it's an adjective.

It's describing the situation finished there.

We use that to talk about something that is completed.

It's done so we could use a verb form like class finished at nine o'clock.

Or we could say like at nine o'clock, class is finished.

So that's the current state.

That's the current situation.

The race is finished or dinner is finished.

Let's compare that to has finished, so has finished is using the present perfect form.

So finished Here is the past participle form of the verb finished.

Something has finished, as I talked about in one of the other questions in today's episode has finished.

That would be the present perfect tense mean that something occurred in the past and the effects of that continue to the present.

This is an example of an effect continuing to the present we would see has finished used in like a polite situation, for example, like I imagine at like a hotel breakfast service if hotel breakfast ends at like nine o'clock.

But I'm a guest and I arrive at 9 30 I want to eat breakfast.

The hotel staff might say to me, Sorry.

Breakfast has finished so they could say I'm sorry.

Breakfast is finished.

That's kind of direct sounding.

But if they say breakfast has finished, we could think of it like I feel like ending point for breakfast was at nine o'clock.

But there's this effect and the effect of that is that me the guest, Like, I can't eat breakfast now because it finished in the past.

So look, it kind of think of it like an effect.

So I hope that that helps you.

Thanks very much for the question.

Okay, let's move on to your next question.

Next question comes from Struhar ready Haggans street.

Heart strain are says Hi, Alicia.

Which one is correct in the following sentences?

One.

Not all questions can't be answered by Alicia or to not all questions can be answered by Alicia.

The first sentence I read on your site Why use both?

Not all and can't be.

I thought using only one of them makes a sentence meaningful.

Yes, thank you very much.

You found what is called a typo.

A typo is a typing mistake.

So I checked this out on the website.

We will fix it.

You are correct.

This should be.

Can eso Not all questions can be answered by Alicia.

That would be the correct sentence.

It should not be.

Cancer will fix that.

If you see a pattern like this, not all some things can be something.

So that would be the correct way to build this kind of sentence structure.

OK, I hope that helps and thank you very much for this point.

Next question comes from Antonio Lock Ojai.

Antonio Antonio says I am confused about when to use.

I talked with COPABA versus I talked to What?

What?

What can you help with that?

By the way, you're very funny.

Thanks I talked to or I talked with.

Yes, I've spoken about this very, very briefly, and I think the video about speak versus talk.

Basically, there's not really a difference between to and with here when we used to, though, I feel that it has more of a one way conversational feeling like if you're giving someone information, if it's kind of just one person sharing a lot of information talking, I might use to, like, go talk to your boss about this or like let's talk to my parents about this.

When you use with, however, it sounds more like you're participating in something together.

You're participating in a discussion together like you do things with another person.

So there's someone else there participating together with you.

So using with to me sounds a little bit more like they're other people participating other people involved.

Like I said, it's a really small point.

Both of them are correct.

You won't have any communication problems if you choose to or with, or if you choose to mix them.

Hope that helps you.

All right.

That's everything that I have for you for this week.

Thank you.
