    More about tenses: Sometimes when we are talking about past events, we want to refer to something that was in the future at that time. Sian's here to show you five forms you can use talk about the future in the past - and she's going to take you back to the past to do this! ua-cam.com/video/6FSnfS7-ohM/v-deo.html

    Hey BBC! Thank you very much for your videos! I've got kind of a silly question for a long time but still can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I would be really grateful if you could take a look..
    It is about the use of she/he with "don't" instead of "doesn't" in well-known songs (Vance Joy's Red Eye: She don't like small places, The kooks Always where I need to be, among others) I was wondering about the nature of that?
    Thanks in advance f Colombia!

    • @bbclearningenglish
      @bbclearningenglish  8 років тому +6

      Hi DaDO. The use of ‘don’t’ in the third person singular is not standard English. However it’s very common, especially in song lyrics.

      Yes, but don't worry about learning and using it all now - it just helps to make you aware that the past forms have lots of different uses :)

    @vitalin.8581 6 років тому

    Sian, I do not want to seem rude, but my curiosity is going to kill my brain. Anyway, were the hair bothering your lips while you were talking? Or hair always do that and there is no point in moving them? Ok, you will not answer, I only needed to ask. Will you?

    • @bbclearningenglish
      @bbclearningenglish  6 років тому

      Hi Vitali! You aren't being rude at all! Sian said that it was a windy day and the hair was driving her mad! She also said that it happens sometimes and you learn to deal with it. it's a bit of a double-edged sword. We hope this satisfies your curiosity.
