AND 

pay attention to the 

difference between 

Present Perfect Simple

and

Simple Past:

-The past simple is used to talk about actions in the past that have finished. It talks about 'then' and definitely excludes 'now'.

-The present perfect simple to look back on actions in the past from the present. It always includes 'now'.

-We use time expressions like 'yesterday', 'ago', 'last year', 'in 1999' with the past simple.

-We use time expressions like are 'ever', 'never', 'since' [and 'for', 'How long...?'] with the present perfect.

Love is in the air ...

St. Valentine's Day, 

14th February

In Valentine's day people celebrate love and friendship.
 Sometimes we express our feelings without saying any words.

This film shows us that. Spend some minutes watching it!

Well, did you like it? What is your opinion? Leave your comment here.

And these are two Valentine sayings that I like very much:

"Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction."

 (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

"Love is the flower you've got to let grow." (John Lennon)

Enjoy this day and this music. It's simple and nice to listen to.
