You are one of my favorite teachers from whom i have been learning English and do not miss watching any videos so as to enhance my English knowledge. Thank you very much sir. I'm Zubair Al mahmud from Bangladesh.
Nice summary. You forgot about the conditional (If I you) and the subjunctive (He asks that she ). Also, the choice of tenses is more about the time, not the action. 2:07 We use the past simple to talk about the past. We don't need to talk about any action (I was not happy yesterday, I did nothing yesterday), if we do, the action does not need to be finished (I did not finish my homework yesterday). 2:57 We use the present perfect to talk about a period of time that ends now. We do not need to talk about any action (He has been very happy lately, he has done nothing since yesterday). 6:20 We use the future simple to talk about the future, whether we talk about an action or not (Tomorrow will be another sunny day) 7:10 We use the present continuous to talk about what is going on now, but again, not necessarily about any action (You are being rude. Nothing is going on). The lines are from "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by John Denver. 8:21 We use the past continuous to talk about what was going on at a specific moment in the past, but not necessarily about any action (he was being unreasonable this morning) 11:16 Again we do not have to use the past perfect to talk about any action: before she showed up
It's not always so easy to master the three tenses with all their helpers ! You lesson is a very good reminder and for me an practice to hear English spoken. I've just realized, by watching this video, that I understand you better and better. I'll come again to your channel : I love it ! 220218 glé
Hi Wes , I have been staying English off and on from several teachers by Facebook and UA-cam and I’m not sure how to use all that tenses . Thank you so much for this lesson 👍🙏 .
The song is sung by Peter, Paul and Mary (1969), it's rained a lot since then but the melody gets maintained cool, which means always was a marvellous title.👌
Thanks for commenting. You're partially correct. The song was originally sung by John Denver in 1966, and then Peter, Paul, and Mary did a cover a few years later. 👍
Impressive the resourcefulness of the video, a dignified and wonderful work to be applauded, you impo ress in the creation of your content for your theme. Good nice
Respected sir, being the most celebrated grammarian across the globe, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to enlighten me a bit as to the nuances of the the following two sentences on the concept of Tense-The passengers of the train had been sleeping when the accident happened VS They were sleeping fast when the train accident happened.Sir, Until now not a single grammarian has been able to explain the subtitles and differencesimplied in the two sentences.Sir,do please help me out by providing solution to the issue that has baffled so many grammarians and teachers so far.
Leaving on a Jet Plane by John Denver is the answer to your question 😜. And thanks so much for this Wonderful Video 💢 Every tense is explained Cristal Clear!!. In Spanish We have more than 12 Tenses and sometimes that could be tricky if you are learning Spanish.... Which I gather you are. Enjoy your Videos a lot. Stay Safe and Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸
Merry Christmas. I have another question to ask. I often get confused about what to use between " should do" and "should be doing". Like you used in the sentence before (media should be doing). Some teachers say that one should use "should be doing" when talking about the current situation but I think there is something I have not been told. I recently came across a video titled " that's how you should be brushing" by a native dentist. Why did he not use " that's how you should brush"? Hope you help me with my doubt.
You're right that "should be doing" would refer to a continuous action in the present. As for the video title, either would work. The continuous emphasizes "right now" while the present simple refers to a "routine." 👍
Hello, i just discover your channel, i want to study english to get Toefl , this is my goal, i have to studie first, tenses because they seem little bite difficult , i don't know my skills and how to start to study for toefl, i don't know the first step to take,if you can give me an idea, i will appreciate it. Thanks
Welcome to the channel. In this case, definitely familiarize yourself with the test. In my view, it's one of those study to the test moments and not necessarily studying the overall language. Best of luck! 👍
I hope by the end of next year, you will not have finished your teaching activity because I will have watched all of your lessons. It means, by the end of next year, the lessons you uploaded onto YT will not be able to called all your lessons. Thanks for this grammar lesson, it is really nice to see the tenses together.
Glad you enjoyed the lesson Judit. A while back I did a live-lesson about the tenses, but it was really long. I've been meaning to do a shorter version like this for some time now. 😃
Hello sir, I have a question. "Of all the movies I have watched so far, this movie is the best, which other movies are as nothing compared to" and " He has already befriended Joey, who no other boy in the college can hold a candle to" . Are these sentences grammatically correct and do they make sense?
In English language there are 3 tenses that refers to time we have the past , the present,and the future. is this sentence grammatically correct? should i say refer or refers. please help me
Hello teacher, can I propose a few words, which are confusing to me, because they can have seemingly opposite meanings depending on the context: 1. "contend" - could mean both "compete" and "come to terms with" as well as "assert". 2. "all but" - can mean both "almost" and "anything except". For example if I hear, "it was all but impossible", I always stumble to figure out the meaning. Was it very hard to do, almost impossible? Was it quite easy, bearable?
Very well explained sir 🩷 this is literally helping us a lot and just keep uploading videos for our English fluency until we will over the hill and become a fluent English speaker !
Hi there ...how are you doing? I like your channel..and I subscribed more than a year ago ... Could you please tell me the time when you usually make live videos ... Tell me the time as London time as I know the time although I from North Africa
Glad you enjoy the lessons. I normally do live-lessons on Saturdays, but it's been sporadic lately. If I do one, I'll make an announcement on the Community Page. 👍
Hi, Wes. The song with the lyric "I'm leaving on a jetplane. I don't know when I'll be back again" is sung by Chantal Kreviazuk. And that's the song from the movie that I like titled "The Armageddon". Am I right or wrong ?
I have lived in London since 2017. I have been living in London since for 5 years. Which difference? I went to London. I have been to London. Which difference please?
Did you live in Hungary? I wonder what do you think about the magyar language? They say it is allegedly very difficult. Not for me, but these English tenses seem so :)
Thank you! Друзья, если вы здесь, чтобы учить английский, то не проходите мимо Взлома Английского! Мы сможем с вами запомнить кучу английских слов буквально за несколько минут!
Sometimes conditionals are lumped in as additional tenses, and other do not include them. For the sake of this lesson, I decided to focus on the 12 main tenses. 👍
So you taught in South Korea. You have also lived in Hungary for several years now and have recently traveled to Italy. What a globe-trotter! ☺
Yes, I taught there about 10 years ago. The time just flies. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍

Hi, Wes.
The song with the lyric "I'm leaving on a jetplane. I don't know when I'll be back again" is sung by Chantal Kreviazuk.
And that's the song from the movie that I like titled "The Armageddon".
Am I right or wrong ?
I'm not familiar with that song, so you may be right. There are so many covers nowadays. But the song was originally sung by John Denver. 👍
Peter Paul and Mary???
Aww greatest teacher at all times Sir but just only you not a vegan person Sir .
Thanks for checking out the lesson. Currently I'm not a vegan. One day it'd be great to be a vegetarian. I'll have to work on that. 😃
We had good time, didn't we? Playing on words! Wes, how long is the wait? 24Yrs.
I have lived in London since 2017.
I have been living in London since for 5 years.
Which difference?
I went to London.
I have been to London.
Which difference please?
Good evening.
shantell craviasa/ john denver peter paul and mary have all sung the song leaving on a jet plane
That's right! Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
Please tell me if this phrase is also correct "By the time I got to the stadium, the match was already finished". Thank you
Congratulations.
If only i were your offline student, would be the happiest person in the world.
The singer is Kanye West furthermore the song is Touch the sky
Tq u sir giving useful lesson.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 👍
Did you live in Hungary? I wonder what do you think about the magyar language? They say it is allegedly very difficult. Not for me, but these English tenses seem so :)
"Leaving On A Jet Plane" by John Denver. Do you like this song?
You're correct! 👍 The song is okay. I think Rocky Mountain High is his best song.
Amazing explanation 👌

What about conditional tenses?
Sometimes conditionals are lumped in as additional tenses, and other do not include them. For the sake of this lesson, I decided to focus on the 12 main tenses. 👍
I am studying English right now.
Nice
Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for your comment. 😃
Isn't Subjuntive considered a tense in English?
Yes, there's always a debate as to whether there are 12 or 16 tenses. I'm not firmly in any camp. In this lesson, I just wanted to cover the basics. 👍
안녕하세요 쌤♡ ㅎ
AWESOME! ♥️
@@InteractiveEng I still want to learn and listen your English lesson!!
Hope Ur channel will have 1milion subscribers.
I think you still could state my former comment better than I did.
John Denver wrote that song.
Indeed. Great job! Thanks for commenting. 😊
안녕하세요. 😊
Why 12 tenses, isn't it there are only 2 past and non-past. Maybe you are referring to verb tense ASPECT not just tense.
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. I'm referring to the 3 main tenses and the 4 aspects. 👍
They're 16 if we count Past Future Tense with "would".
Ohh about who sing the song .. john denver !👍👍
