تدريب Shadowing: Learn English with Real Conversations Podcast | How to Use "Do, Does & Did" in English - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

Hello everyone and welcome back to Go English!

I'm Mizu.

And I'm Lucas.

Hi friends!

Hello to everyone watching us from all around the world.

No matter where you are right now, at home, on the bus, or at work, we're happy you're here with us today.

So, Mizu, how was your day?

It was pretty good.

I worked a bit, had some coffee, and tried to relax.

What about you?

Same here.

A normal day, simple things, and of course, thinking about English.

Always English.

Today we're talking about something very common, but also very confusing for many learners.

Yes, do, does, and did.

People often ask, "When do I use do?" When do I use does?

And why does everything become did in the past?

Don't worry.

Today, we'll make it simple.

one idea, one time rule, and real examples you can use every day.

And before we start, we want to say thank you to everyone who suggested today's topic.

Yes, many of you asked about do, does, and did, so this lesson is made for you.

We read your comments and they help you practice English and feel more confident every day.

So today, let's learn together, slowly, simply, and naturally.

Before we start, if you enjoy learning English in a simple and natural way,

please like this to Go English.

Alright, let's begin!

Alright, before we go deeper, let me ask you something, Lucas.

When people feel confused about do, does, and did, what do you think the real problem is?

Hmm.

I think people try to remember too many rules.

They think, okay, do for this, does for that, and then they get stuck.

Exactly.

But what if we don't think about rules first?

What if we just think about time?

Time?

Yes.

Just one simple question.

Are we talking about now or are we talking about before?

Ah.

That already sounds easier.

Right?

When we talk about now, like today, usually, or every day, we use do or does.

For example, do you work today?

Or does she work here?

So do and does are both about now.

The meaning is the same, only the person changes.

Exactly.

Now English still cares a little about who we're talking about.

Okay, so what happens when we talk about the past?

That's the fun part.

When we talk about before, yesterday, last night, last week, English suddenly becomes very simple.

Everything turns into did.

Everyone?

Even he, she, they?

work yesterday did she call you did they finish it's always did I like

that it feels lazy

but in a good way yes in the past English is lazy one word for everyone

so if I remember just this Now is do or does, and before is did.

I'm already doing well.

That's the big idea.

You don't need to memorize long rules.

Just listen to the time.

Alright, let's use this idea and look at some real examples.

Okay, we said when the time is now, we don't use did.

But, Mizu, let me ask you something.

When do we actually choose do?

person is I, you, we, or they.

That's the moment do appears naturally.

So, if I'm talking about myself, I would say something like, "Do I work today?" Exactly.

And when you're talking to someone directly, it's the same.

Do you like coffee?

What about more than one person?

Still do.

You can ask, "Do we need to leave now?" or, "Do they live here?" It doesn't change.

I see.

So, do… stays with I, you, we, and they as long as we're talking about now.

Yes.

Work, habits, daily life.

If it's now and it's those people, do is the natural choice.

And when the answer is no, I just add not, right?

Right.

I don't work today.

They don't live here.

Simple and clean.

Yes, they do.

That actually feels very clear now.

Good.

Just remember the feeling, not a long rule.

Now, when we talk about I, you, we, or they, we use do.

Wait, wait a second.

When you said I and they used do, I suddenly thought of something.

What about he or she?

It sounds a little different, right?

Yes, good ear.

The meaning is the same, the time is still now, but when the person is he,

she, or it, English changes the sound to "does." So, we're not talking about a new idea, just a small change.

Exactly.

For example, you don't say, "Do she work here?" You naturally say, "Does she work here?" Ah, that sounds right.

100

And the meaning doesn't change.

101

I'm still asking about her life now.

102

Right.

103

Or you can ask, does he like tea?

104

That's just a habit question.

105

What about things, not people?

106

Same idea.

107

You can ask, "Does it open at 9?" We're still talking about now.

108

OK, so "does" is only about the person, he, she, it, not about time.

109

Yes.

110

The time stays the same.

111

It's still present.

112

And for negative sentences, we just follow the same feeling?

113

Yes.

114

Very simple.

115

She doesn't work today.

116

He doesn't drink coffee.

117

Short, clear, and natural.

118

And for short answers, it's the same pattern.

119

Yes, she does.

120

No, he doesn't.

121

I like that.

122

It feels familiar, not scary.

123

That's because do and does are really one team.

124

They only work in the present.

125

So, the reminder's easy to remember.

126

Do and does are only for now.

127

Exactly.

128

And once you feel that, the rest becomes much easier.

129

All right.

130

We've talked about do and does, and both of them live in the present, but what happens when we talk about the past?

131

This is my favorite part, because English suddenly becomes very kind.

132

When we talk about before - yesterday, last night, last week - we use just one word: did.

133

Just one?

134

Even for different people?

135

Yes, for everyone.

136

I, you, he, she, we, they.

137

It's always did.

138

So I can ask, did you work yesterday?

139

Exactly.

140

And you can also ask, did she call you?

141

Or did they finish the job?

142

Same form every time.

143

That already feels easier than the present.

144

Yes.

145

In the past, English doesn't care about the person anymore.

146

It only cares about the time.

147

What about negative sentences?

148

Do we still keep it simple?

149

Very simple.

150

I didn't work yesterday.

151

She didn't call me.

152

Exactly!

153

And short answers are just as easy: "Yes I did, no I didn't." I like that feeling.

154

One word for everyone.

155

That's why this is the key idea.

156

In the past, English uses only "did." So, if I remember one thing from this part,

157

it's this: past questions past negatives, past short answers, did.

158

perfect Once you feel that, the past is no longer scary.

159

OK, let's stop for a moment and put everything side by side.

160

I think this is where things really click.

161

Yes, when you see them together, it suddenly feels very clear.

162

Let's start with now.

163

If I ask you about today, I would say, "Do you work today?" And if you're asking about another person,

164

you naturally change it to, "Does she work today?" So, in the present, the person matters.

165

Exactly.

166

Now changes the person.

167

If I'm talking about yesterday, I ask, did you work yesterday?

168

And even if the person changes, it stays the same.

169

Did she work yesterday?

170

So, in the past, the person doesn't matter anymore.

171

Right.

172

Past does not.

173

I like that.

174

Two short ideas, very easy to remember.

175

Yes.

176

When you're not sure, just think about the time first.

177

Your English will follow.

178

Let's use it in a real conversation.

179

Hey Lucas, you know what?

180

Let's stop explaining for a second and just talk.

181

Like real life.

182

No lesson, just a normal chat.

183

Sounds good.

184

Okay, so do you work today?

185

No, I don't.

186

I took today off.

187

I just wanted a slow day.

188

Oh, nice.

189

That explains it.

190

You look very relaxed.

191

So what do you usually do on a day like this?

192

Mmm, I don't do much.

193

I drink coffee, answer a few messages, and just rest a bit.

194

Yes, she does.

195

She's covering a few things for me today.

196

Ah, got it.

197

So you can really relax.

198

By the way, what did you do earlier this week?

199

You looked really busy.

200

Yes, I was.

201

I worked a lot earlier so I could slow down today.

202

That makes sense.

203

See?

204

This is how it works naturally.

205

Exactly.

206

We talked about now about habits and about before without forcing anything.

207

And we didn't stop to think, "Oh, which grammar do I use?" It just came out.

208

Right.

209

Do for I, you, we, they.

210

Does for he, she, it.

211

And did when we talk about before.

212

Short questions, real reasons, real answers.

213

Ha ha ha, yes!

214

This is the kind of English you can actually use in real life.

215

Lucas, you know what I see a lot from learners?

216

Sometimes they get a little over excited and make a tiny mistake.

217

Really?

218

Like what?

219

Well, for example, some people say, "Did you worked yesterday?" Oh, yes, I've seen that too.

220

That extra -ed slips in because people remember the past tense.

221

Exactly.

222

But we already have "did" for the past, so we don't add anything to the verb.

223

The correct way is, "Did you work yesterday?" And another one I hear often,

224

does she worked here?

225

Yes, that one is tricky because people think of the ED habit tense.

226

But remember, does is for now.

227

Exactly.

228

So it should be, does she work here?

229

Ah, I see the pattern now.

230

After do, does, did, base verb.

231

stress, no scary rules, just a tiny habit to remember.

232

And once you feel it, it becomes natural in conversation, like we practiced.

233

Exactly.

234

Ask, answer, short and easy.

235

That's the key.

236

Lucas, let us quickly repeat what we have learned so it really stays in your mind.

237

Yes.

238

Are you ready for a short and fun review?

239

Okay.

240

First, When we talk about now, Who do we use 'do' with?

241

We use do with I, you, we, and they.

242

Good.

243

And who do we use does with?

244

We use does with he, she, and it.

245

Perfect.

246

Now, what about the past?

247

In the past, we use did.

248

And did we change it for different people?

249

No, we do not.

250

No matter who it is, we always use did.

251

Nice!

252

And with do, does, and did, what can we do?

253

We can ask a question.

254

Yes, and… We can make it negative.

255

And… We can give a short answer.

256

So the idea is the same.

257

Only the time changes.

258

Now we use do or does.

259

Before we use did.

260

Ask negative short answer.

261

Simple, natural, and easy to use.

262

Exactly.

263

That is it.

264

Quick, fun, and ready for real conversation.

265

All right, friends, now it's your turn.

266

Let's use what we just practiced.

267

Yes.

268

Try answering these questions about your life.

269

First one, about today.

270

Do you work today?

271

work yesterday?" Take a moment and answer in the comments.

272

"Yes, I do.

273

No, I don't." Or, "Yes, I did.

274

No, I didn't." We'd love to read your answers and see how you use do, does, and did naturally.

275

Remember, there's no wrong answer as long as you're practicing.

276

Just speak your truth.

277

So go ahead, type your answer to your answer in the comments and let's chat together.

278

All right friends, that's it for today.

279

Remember, you don't need to remember everything.

280

Just take it slow and enjoy the process.

281

Yes, exactly.

282

Just listen and repeat little by little.

283

That's how your English grows.

284

And don't forget, English is easier than you think.

285

Every small step counts.
