Hello ghaforienglish,

I've checked the page and the video is working correctly, so it seems the problem is a local one rather than one related to the page. It may be a compatibility issue with your device or software. The simplest thing to do would be to try accessing the page on a different device – not a mobile device, as these sometimes have limitations with regard to media.

Do the other videos on our site work for you, or is this a general problem?

I understood it very well. !congratulations!! it was cool.

1) They have been married for five years 2) I have known her for a long time Both sentences are present perfect. But the question is why is there used “Been” in the (1) sentence but not in (2) sentence? Most of the time we use “Been” in the present perfect to say about where the person was. In this case of (1) why we use “been”? Could you please give me some example? Thank you

Hello amit_ck,

Both sentences are present perfect.

We form the present perfect with [have/has + past participle]

In the first sentence 'married' is an adjective. The verb form is have + been.

In the second sentence the verb form is have + known.

Pleased to meet you, Glad to meet you and Nice to meet you these sentences mean the same? Could I use other forms?

Hi Alexander Bladeck

'Please to meet you' is a bit more formal than the other two, but otherwise, yes, these phrases all essentially mean the same thing. There are many things you could say in this situation, but these are probably the most common ways to express this idea.

All the best

Thanks a lot for improving my English level.

Hellooo, I d like to ask how I can download the video or mp3. Thank you.

Hello Jean José,

I'm afraid downloads are not available for our video resources. This is for technical and legal reasons. We try to make the .mp3 files available for our audio materials, however, and put a link to download the files on those pages.

I am not from Thailand, I'm from Vietnam. I am not a doctor, I am a staff in a telecommunication company.

At the moment I'm single but I hope to meet my partner this year and I never give up.

They are a beautiful couple.

I met my best friend when she had a flat tyre and was stranded on the road. I stopped to give her a helping hand and we struck up a friendship that has lasted very many years. I met my spouse through a chance encounter at the church we attended then.
