Okay, welcome back to the English channel.

Today we have a special video because I'm going to be teaching you English tenses.

Yes, English tenses.

So, if you have a problem when you're studying English tenses, past perfect, past present, future, past.

If you have a problem with English tenses,

stay just to the end because I'll be going through all the most common problems with English tenses.

Are you guys ready for today's video?

Let's attack the lesson.

So, like always, I have some notes inside my phone. so

when we have to talk about english tenses there's one thing

we just have to there's one thing we need to start with we need to start with the

when so when let's talk about past simple versus perfect uh present perfect

so past simple we use for when an action is finished

so past simple the rules for past simple is you add ed two verbs

that are regular and if a verb is irregular you need to memorize the irregular verb

that is the structure for past simple

but some people have a problem understanding the difference between i did

and i have done

so let me break down the difference between the two for

you guys i did past simple you use i did for something action

that is completed that's started and completed in the past

so yesterday i did a video the video started in the past

and it finished the video the video finished in the past So when an action starts and finishes in the past, you use past simple.

But for present perfect, present perfect, there's two reasons why we use it.

The first reason is something recently just finished.

So I have done my homework.

If you say, I have done my homework, that means in the last five to ten minutes, you recently finished your homework.

You can say, I did my homework for past simple,

but the difference is when you use present perfect, it's recently just finished.

First reason why we use present perfect second reason why we use present perfect is

when you have um the best way to explain this is

with an example let's say someone um is someone's painting a wall

and their hands are very dirty and you see

that their hands are very dirty you ask them have you painted the wall

because there's information in the present that gives you information about the past

so you see his hands are dirty

so you ask have you painted the room

and he answers yes i have painted the room

because there's present information that gives you information about the past it's kind of complex

but this is the second

and the most used version most used way we use present perfect

so when you have present information

that tells you something about the past that's why we use present perfect another example you see someone

and they're they're breathing heavily you ask them

have you just ran and they say yes i have just ran

so present perfect number one reason we use it something recently

finished second reason we use it you have information in the present

that gives you more information about the past that is the second

that is the second reason why we use present perfect in

the comments below people have been asking me to go through basic english grammar

so today we're going through the the all the english tenses all right

so the first two we covered is past simple and past

and present perfect the next two we will cover is will so future um simple and be going to first is

both we use both tenses to talk about the future in

English however will is we use for a spontaneous decision

so let me give you another example I look inside my cupboard to see

if there's bread and there's no bread

but before I looked in the cupboard I didn't know

if there was bread or not I look in the cupboard

and see oh there's no bread spontaneous decision i will go to the store

and buy some bread see it's a spontaneous decision

if you have planned this future plan normally we use be

going to for an example i am going to liel at

the end of this month to see my son i already

bought the ticket i already booked the hotel it's planned it's going to happen 100

so if something's planned

and you know you're going to do it in the future you use be going to

and will is very easy to use

because you use will with all the subjects plus the verb

is in the infinitive i will go i will play I

will do she will do very easy be going to is you have to conjugate be depending on the subject

so I am going to the store she is going to the store

or they are going to the store so make sure you conjugate be

and that is how that is the two ways we speak in the future in English So now,

I've given you two tenses to speak in the present.

I've given you two tenses, past perfect and present, and past simple and present,

sorry, past simple and present perfect,

and perfect present, present perfect, sorry.

So I gave you those two.

And also, I've given you two tenses to speak in the future.

Now, let's talk a little bit about the words should, could, and would.

So these three words in English, the first thing I will tell you guys is the pronunciation there's an l in each word

but you don't pronounce the l

so wood sounds just like the wood like like wood like

um hold on like you see this my um here this

is my um cabinet it's a cabinet it's made of wood see w -o -o wood wood

and wood are pronounced the same way

so don't pronounce the l it's just like w o o d would first thing i'll tell you

and same thing with could should

and should it's not could we should pronounce you don't pronounce

the l first thing i'll tell you guys about should would

and could second thing is should would

and could are the way in english we speak in the conditional

so what is the conditional the conditional is

when you have um a word when you have two parts of a sentence

and the second part is on the condition of something

so for example if it rains outside

if it rains he um he would bring an umbrella boom

if it rains he would bring an umbrella so it's on the condition of something we use should would and could for.

100

So let's break down each one.

101

We'll start with could because it's pretty much the easiest.

102

First reason why we use could, it's the past of can.

103

So past of can.

104

He could speak English when he was younger, but he forgot how to.

105

See, it's past possibility could.

106

First reason why we use it second reason why we use it it's to be polite

107

so you can always say can you give me a cup of milk

108

but that's not as polite

109

if you say could you give me a glass of milk it's automatically more polite

110

so that's the second reason why we use could you can always replace it with can, but it's more polite

111

if you use the word could second word we'll go through is we'll go through should

112

because it's the second easiest so should is an obligation

113

so you can give yourself an obligation i should eat more vegetables

114

or you can give someone else an obligation he should eat more vegetables

115

so should is an obligation you need to do it that's

116

why we use the word should the first version next we will talk about the most complicated one

117

and it is would and would is complicated because it's based on hypotheticals

118

so what is a hypothetical a hypothetical is something that's not real it's imaginary

119

so for example

120

if i won the lottery i would buy a car you

121

see how it's it's it's bull crap it's not it's not real it's imaginary it's imaginary

122

i'm not i didn't win the lottery and i'm not gonna buy a new car a lot of

123

people who are learning english mix up will and could

124

so for example common mistakes people will say

125

if i won the lottery i will buy a car no

126

you see how it's on the condition of something you can't

127

use the word will will is based in facts it's a

128

factual word i will do something means you're going to do

129

it it's it's it's a it's based on facts where would

130

is based on the opposite of facts it's based on hypotheticals

131

or imaginary situations so the first example i gave you

132

if i won the lottery i would buy a new car

133

or i would um travel the world it's not based in reality.

134

So that is the third English grammar tip for today.

135

So the first one, we'll go through it quickly so you guys can remember.

136

I hope you guys are writing down in your English notebook or if you don't have an English notebook, get something to write down.

137

Maybe you use your phone and you write notes in your phone.

138

So the first thing we covered today was past simple versus present perfect

139

and past simple is action started in the past

140

and finished in the past boom past simple present perfect is

141

when there's a connection between the past and the present

142

so either something's recently finished you recently did something

143

or you have proof in the present

144

that gives you information about the past second we did is

145

how to speak in the future in english we have two ways be going to

146

and will remember be going to is based on plans something

147

you've already you've already planned you've already bought the ticket i

148

am going to rome you've already bought the movie ticket i

149

am going to the movies see you you've started planning about this about a future action

150

and you will do the future action whereas will is a

151

spontaneous decision you see something on the floor ah i will

152

pick it up spontaneous there was no plan it's just spontaneous

153

then the next we covered was the conditional words should would and could So,

154

remember, could is can in the past, or it can be a way to be more polite in English.

155

Second one, should, obligation.

156

I should eat vegetables, he should do exercise.

157

Obligation.

158

Third one, would, hypothetical.

159

I would buy an island if I won the lottery. So, hypothetical.

160

That's wood.

161

So the last English grammar point for today,

162

we're going to talk about the simple tenses,

163

past, present, and future, and the continuous tenses, past,

164

present, and future okay so i must look at my notes really fast

165

and i'll tell you guys what i have written down here um all right

166

so very good this is very very good so when you're

167

when you're talking about simple versus the present or the continuous tense you need to think about permanent situations versus temporary situations.

168

All right.

169

What is a permanent situation?

170

A permanent situation is I have a brother.

171

It's permanent, right?

172

He's always going to be here.

173

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

174

So something that is permanent, you want to use the simple tense or

175

so you want to use the simple tense something

176

that is temporary you want to use the continuous tense

177

so right now it's temporary i am making a video you

178

see i'm making the video it started 15 minutes ago

179

and it's going to end in about five minutes right

180

and it's temporary but i live in Antibes it's not temporary that's a permanent situation

181

or a long situation yes I could move

182

but I live in Antibes right it's right now I live in Antibes

183

and next week I'll live in Antibes yes I could move

184

but yeah it's permanent situations

185

that you use the simple tense for another example is

186

another great example is um i teach english your job

187

so your job is a permanent situation yes you could get fired

188

but relatively speaking that is your job it's a permanent situation

189

temporary situation i am walking on the beach

190

or i was walking on the beach it was a temporary situation

191

or i will be walking on the beach you see i just use present continuous past continuous

192

and future continuous all of them are based on temporary situations

193

so that is the number one rule to

194

so you can understand the difference between the continuous tense

195

and the simple tense one more time continuous tense is temporary situations whereas the simple tense is just permanent situations

196

so just understand this very important

197

and yeah those are um the three quick and easy english tenses for today Normally,

198

we do our video walking around my city or going about my day,

199

but I've gotten a couple comments asking me to do some grammar.

200

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione

Chi parla usa 52 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'll, we'll, you're. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.

I suoni “th”: hypothetical /ˌhaɪpəˈθɛtɪkəl/, breathe /bɹiːð/
I suoni “sh” e “zh”: obligation /ˌɑ.blɪˈɡeɪ.ʃn̩/, conditional /kənˈdɪʃ.ə.nəl/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/
Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: continuous /kənˈtɪn.juː.əs/, hypothetical /ˌhaɪpəˈθɛtɪkəl/, spontaneous /spɑnˈteɪ.ni.əs/, conditional /kənˈdɪʃ.ə.nəl/, imaginary /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪˌn(ɛ)ɹi/

/h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: hypothetical /ˌhaɪpəˈθɛtɪkəl/, homework /ˈhoʊmˌwɝk/, comprehensible /kɒmpɹəˈhɛnsɪbəl/
Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: tense /tɛns/, continuous /kənˈtɪn.juː.əs/, spontaneous /spɑnˈteɪ.ni.əs/, pronounce /pɹəˈnaʊns/, polite /pəˈlaɪt/
/æ/ — più aperta della “e”: grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, imaginary /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪˌn(ɛ)ɹi/, factual /ˈfæk.tʃ(u)əl/

Come esercitarsi con questo video

Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come tense, continuous, grammar.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
