    I'm a native English speaker and trying to explain how to use Will, going to, and present continuous to a friend who is trying to learn English. We just use it without thinking about it. But I never realized how complicated future tense was.

    • @learnenglish890
      @learnenglish890 3 роки тому +3

      Future is not a tense. It's time

    • @brandonly27
      @brandonly27 3 роки тому +3

      @@learnenglish890 Yeah that's true. Tense refers to verb tense and since the present and future verb tense in English are the same it could be argued that there is no future tense in English. We just use the auxiliary verb will or going to to signify future.

    Thank you Jack for making this video.
    I’ll save it in my library. I’m going to use it as a material for our English grammar lessons.
    These tenses and their uses are going to give headaches for my Vietnamese students, who, in their native language, don’t have any notions about them.
    Classes in Việt Nam are reopening early next month, as the government has announced the end of the stay-home period.
    Stay healthy and motivated. My best wishes to you.

    I'm studying to teach ESL and this is one of the best videos I've seen. The explanation is so clear and detailed! Plus, I love how there's no music in the background while you're speaking because I can't concentrate on what someone's saying when there's music. Thank you so much! You've just got a new subscriber. :)

    Future Simple: I will cook it. - promise, on-the-spot decision.
    'be going to': I'm going to cook the diner soon - intention without arrangement.
    Present Continuous: I am cooking the dinner at 8 PM tomorrow - arrangement.

    • @mustafaaziz2122
      @mustafaaziz2122 4 роки тому

      But cooking dinner is one of the usual things that don’t need an arrangement like he said in the video mowing lawn and cleaning house they’re the same

    • @grandexandi

      "I just decided that I'm cooking dinner tonight."
      "I'll cook dinner tonight because I want to."
      "I'm gonna cook dinner tonight because that's what we agreed upon."
      Are these wrong or weird / hard to process?

    Hey, thank you very much for the video. The three tenses feel easy when we use them spontaneously, but apparently it can be complicated when we have to explain it to other people. 😅
    Now I have better understanding about them, thanks to you. I'm going to show this video to my students. The narrative example makes it easier to understand!

    Jack, congratulations. I´ve watched tons of videos about this topic and this is the best one. This mainly because the given examples were easy to understand and overall due to the double repetition of the same example. It helps a lot to cement or root the point you are explaining. So, it would be nice to keep watching and hearing videos like this one. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Jack, from France. Thank you for this excellent video.
    Probably most of native English speakers make the distinction between will, going to, and the present continuous unconsciously
    and would be unable to explain it like you did so well. That's why it's so interesting to learn languages. It makes you discover things
    in both your own language and the one you're learning.
    You just made me realize we have approximately the same distinctions in French:
    D'accord, je me ferai couper les cheveux demain. (future; I'm making the decision while speaking)
    Je vais me faire couper les cheveux demain. (equivalent to "I'm going to"; my decision is already made)
    Je me fais couper les cheveux demain à 15h. (present simple because we don't have a present continuous in French; the rendez-vous has already been taken)

    I want to ask in 10:38 you say "will" is used to describe future facts, but can I use " Tomorrow I'm coming to the office"? because the sentence also describes a plan in the future.
    Also what is the difference between future simple and future continuous when both describe a future fact ?For example "At 8 tomorrow I'll be working in the office" and "i'll be in the office tomorrow"
