Speak English with Jay and May.
3
Hey English learners!
4
Welcome back to Speak English with Jay and May,
5
your cozy little place to build your English confidence.
6
I'm May.
7
Hello, May, and hello everyone!
8
I'm Jay.
9
How are you today, May?
10
I'm doing great, Jay.
11
Actually, I'm a little excited today because our topic is something I wish someone had told me years ago.
12
Oh yeah?
13
What is it?
14
OK, so English has like, what, 12 tenses?
15
Maybe more.
16
Twelve?
17
I think I counted like 16 once in a grammar book.
18
I almost cried.
19
Right?
20
And you know what's funny?
21
Native speakers, people who grew up speaking English their whole lives,
22
most of them only use five tenses in daily conversation.
23
Wait, only five?
24
Only five.
25
And today, we're going to tell you exactly which five they are and how to use them naturally.
26
OK, I need this.
27
I seriously need this, because every time I open a grammar book,
28
I see things like, future perfect continuous,
29
and I just close the book.
30
Future perfect continuous.
31
You know, I had a student once who studied that tense for two weeks.
32
Two whole weeks.
33
And then she went to a coffee shop in New York,
34
and the barista said, what do you want?
35
And she completely froze.
36
No way!
37
Yes!
38
Because she was so busy studying complicated tenses,
39
she forgot the simple ones.
40
She didn't know how to say,
41
I want a coffee, please.
42
That is painful.
43
That is so relatable.
44
So today, no pain.
45
Only the five tenses that will actually get you through real conversations,
46
job interviews, travel, friendships, everything.
47
I love it.
48
Let's go.
49
What's the first one?
50
Okay.
51
Number one, and this is the most important one.
52
Simple present.
53
Things you do regularly.
54
Facts.
55
Habits.
56
Routines.
57
Like, I drink coffee every morning.
58
Exactly.
59
Or, she works at a hospital.
60
Or, water boils at 100 degrees.
61
Simple, clean, powerful.
62
You mean like, this is the tense I use when I talk about my life?
63
Yes.
64
Think about it.
65
When someone asks, what do you do?
66
Or, where do you live?
67
You answer in simple present.
68
It's the tense of your identity.
69
Oh wow, I never thought of it that way.
70
The tense of your identity.
71
That's cool.
72
And here's a little mistake I hear all the time.
73
People say, I am study English.
74
But the correct form is, I study English.
75
No am needed there.
76
Oh yeah, I think I've made that mistake before.
77
More than once.
78
It's super common.
79
Don't worry.
80
The rule is simple.
81
For habits and facts, just use the base verb.
82
I eat, she eats, they eat.
83
Got it.
84
So simple present is tense number one.
85
What's number two?
86
Number two, present continuous.
87
This is what's happening right now or around this time in your life.
88
Okay, like, I am learning English right now.
89
Perfect example.
90
Or, she is sleeping.
91
Or, they are building a new school in my neighborhood.
92
It's action that is in progress.
93
Wait, so what's the difference?
94
Like, when do I use simple present and when do I use present continuous?
95
Great question.
96
Okay, imagine your friend calls you and says, What do you do? versus What are you doing?
97
Oh, what do you do means my job,
98
and what are you doing right now, this second?
99
Exactly.
100
I teach English, that's my job, simple present.
101
I am teaching a class right now,
102
that's happening at this moment, present continuous.
103
That is such a clear way to explain it.
104
I feel like I finally get that.
105
And here's the interesting part.
106
Present continuous also works for future plans,
107
like, I am meeting my friend tomorrow.
108
Wait, that's future, but you use am meeting?
109
Yes.
110
When the plan is already arranged,
111
already decided, native speakers use present continuous.
112
I'm flying to Tokyo next week.
113
We're having dinner tonight.
114
Wow, so one-tenth does two jobs.
115
Two jobs.
116
Very efficient.
117
Okay, okay.
118
So we have simple present and present continuous.
119
What's tense number three?
120
Number three, simple past.
121
And this one, Jay, this one is the storyteller's best friend.
122
The storyteller's best friend.
123
I like that.
124
Any time you're telling something that already happened yesterday,
125
last week, when you were a child,
126
simple past is your tense.
127
Like, I went to the market yesterday.
128
Yes.
129
She called me last night.
130
We had a great time at the party.
131
Done.
132
Finished.
133
In the past.
134
But this is where irregular verbs make me crazy.
135
Like go becomes went.
136
Come becomes came.
137
Why can't it just be goad?
138
Oh, I feel you.
139
You know, I used to tell my students irregular verbs are like old family members.
140
They have their own rules and you just have to learn their names.
141
That's actually a really funny way to think about it.
142
But honestly, the most common irregular verbs,
143
go, come, eat, see, buy,
144
make, and take, if you learn just those,
145
you can tell like 90% of your stories.
146
That's so reassuring.
147
So I don't need to memorize all irregular verbs.
148
Not all at once.
149
Start with the most common ones and add more slowly.
150
Language learning is a journey, not a race.
151
Okay, I love that.
152
Tense number three, simple past.
153
What's four?
154
Okay, number four, and this one changes everything for sounding more natural, present perfect.
155
Ooh, okay, I know this one is tricky.
156
Have plus something.
157
Yes.
158
Have or has plus the past participle.
159
Like, I have visited Paris.
160
She has eaten sushi before.
161
We have watched that movie.
162
You mean like, it happened before,
163
but I don't say exactly when?
164
That's the key.
165
When the exact time doesn't matter,
166
or when the experience is connected to now, you use present perfect.
167
It's like a bridge between the past and the present.
168
A bridge.
169
Okay, that's a great way to see it.
170
So, think about this.
171
If someone asks, have you ever tried Korean food?
172
They don't care if it was last Tuesday or five years ago.
173
They just want to know your experience.
174
Ah, so I say, yes,
175
I have tried it, not,
176
yes, I tried it last year.
177
Exactly.
178
Unless you want to say when,
179
then you switch to simple past.
180
I tried it last year when I visited Seoul.
181
Wait, here's the interesting part.
182
So I use present perfect to talk about the experience and then simple past when I add the time detail?
183
You just explained it perfectly.
184
I'm so proud right now.
185
I'm proud of myself too.
186
And Present Perfect is also great for recent news.
187
The president has announced a new policy.
188
Scientists have discovered something amazing.
189
It happened recently and it's still relevant.
190
Oh, that's why news articles always sound like that.
191
The company has released a new product.
192
I always wondered why they write it that way.
193
Now you know.
194
Present Perfect makes it feel fresh and connected to today.
195
This is so good.
196
Okay, number five, last one.
197
Number five, simple future with will.
198
This is your go-to for predictions,
199
decisions made in the moment, and promises.
200
Like, I will call you later?
201
Exactly.
202
Or, it will rain tomorrow.
203
Don't worry, I will help you.
204
Clean, simple, direct.
205
So, this is different from present continuous future, right?
206
Like, I'm meeting my friend tomorrow.
207
That was already planned.
208
But, I will is more spontaneous?
209
Oh, wow, yeah, you're getting it.
210
I'm meeting my friend tomorrow.
211
That was planned in advance.
212
I will meet you there,
213
decided right now, in this moment.
214
Can you give me a quick example of both so I can really feel the difference?
215
Sure.
216
Imagine your phone rings and your friend says,
217
Can you help me move boxes this weekend?
218
You think for one second and say,
219
Sure, I will help you.
220
That's a spontaneous decision, so you use will.
221
And if I already knew about it before the call?
222
Then you'd say, yes, I'm helping you this weekend,
223
because it was already arranged.
224
This is where things change for me.
225
I used will for everything before.
226
I didn't know there were two ways to talk about the future.
227
Most learners do that.
228
And honestly, using will for everything is not a disaster.
229
People will still understand you.
230
But once you know both,
231
you sound so much more natural.
232
Okay, so let's do a quick review.
233
Can you run through all five super fast?
234
Absolutely.
235
Number one, simple present.
236
I drink coffee every day.
237
Number two, present continuous.
238
I am drinking coffee right now.
239
Number three, simple past.
240
I drank coffee this morning.
241
Number four, present perfect, I have never drunk black coffee before.
242
Number five, simple future, I will drink coffee after this podcast.
243
I love that you used coffee for all five.
244
I was thirsty, what can I say?
245
Okay, listeners, I want you to imagine something.
246
Imagine you're at a party and someone asks,
247
oh, so you speak English?
248
What do you say?
249
And now, with these five tenses,
250
you can say, Yes, I study English every day.
251
Right now, I am working on my grammar.
252
I started two years ago.
253
I have made a lot of progress.
254
And one day, I will speak English like a native.
255
Amazing!
256
Five tenses.
257
One powerful answer.
258
That's the goal.
259
Not to impress people with complicated grammar,
260
just to communicate clearly and confidently.
261
You know, what I think is the biggest takeaway here,
262
it's that you don't need all the tenses to speak well.
263
You just need to master the right ones.
264
Exactly.
265
And these five cover probably 95% of real conversations.
266
Work, travel, friendships, stories, plans, all of it.
267
To be honest, I feel a little embarrassed that I spent so much time worrying about tenses I never even use.
268
Don't be embarrassed.
269
That's the trap of traditional grammar books.
270
They want to be complete.
271
But speaking?
272
Speaking wants to be useful.
273
Complete versus useful.
274
I'm writing that down.
275
Good.
276
OK, let's do our vocabulary moment.
277
Yes, I love this part.
278
Alright, five phrases we used today that are super useful in real life.
279
Ready?
280
Ready.
281
Phrase number one, go-to.
282
I said simple future with will is your go-to.
283
Go-to means your first choice,
284
the thing you always use or rely on.
285
Like, pizza is my go-to food when I'm tired.
286
Easy, comfortable choice.
287
Perfect.
288
Phrase two, in progress.
289
I said present continuous means action in progress.
290
It means something is happening and not finished yet.
291
Like, the construction is in progress.
292
The building isn't done yet.
293
Great example.
294
Phrase three, a bridge between.
295
I said present perfect is a bridge between the past and the present.
296
A bridge connects two things.
297
You mean like it links two ideas together,
298
like that experience was a bridge between my old life and my new one.
299
Beautiful sentence.
300
I love that.
301
Phrase 4.
302
Spontaneous.
303
A spontaneous decision is one you make quickly, without planning.
304
Like, we made a spontaneous trip to the beach,
305
no planning, just grabbed our bags and went.
306
That sounds like a great day.
307
And phrase five, go through.
308
Actually, I used go through earlier.
309
What tense do I go through?
310
To go through something means to experience it or to move through a process.
311
Like, I went through a lot of mistakes before my English improved.
312
That's so real.
313
Very real and very normal.
314
Every learner goes through that.
315
Okay.
316
I feel like this episode was a game changer, like genuinely.
317
I hope so.
318
And you know what I want to say to everyone listening right now?
319
Don't be afraid of making mistakes with tenses.
320
The goal isn't perfect grammar.
321
The goal is connection.
322
Connection.
323
That's beautiful.
324
Because language is really about connecting with people, right?
325
Exactly.
326
When you speak, people are listening to you,
327
your story, your ideas, your personality, not your tenses.
328
Okay, I have one final question for our listeners before we close,
329
and this is a fun one.
330
Ooh, let's hear it!
331
Using any of the five tenses we talked about today,
332
can you write one sentence about yourself?
333
Like I study English because… or I have always wanted to… or I will never stop.
334
Oh, I love this!
335
Drop your sentence in the comments.
336
We want to read every single one.
337
Honestly, even if it has a mistake, share it.
338
That's how you learn.
339
We are all here to grow together.
340

이 수업에 대해
이 수업에서는 영어를 자신 있게 구사하기 위해 필요한 다섯 가지 시제에 대해 배울 것입니다. 많은 영어 학습자들이 복잡한 문법에 혼란스러워하지만, 실제로는 일상 대화에서 자주 사용되는 시제는 제한적입니다. 본 레슨을 통해, 중요한 시제를 자연스럽게 사용하는 방법을 연습하고 실제 상황에서 활용할 수 있는 자신감을 기를 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 IELTS 스피킹 준비와 같은 시험 상황에서도 유용할 것입니다.
주요 어휘 및 구문
- 시제 (Tense)
- 대화 (Conversation)
- 자신감 (Confidence)
- 커피 (Coffee)
- 자연스럽게 (Naturally)
- 복잡한 (Complicated)
- 일상 (Daily)
- 연습 (Practice)
연습 팁
영어 쉐도잉을 통해 발음과 억양을 개선하는 것이 중요합니다. 이번 영상에서는 쉽게 이해할 수 있는 빠르기로 진행되므로, shadow speech 기법을 활용하여 저자화된 문장을 따라 해보세요. 매번 영상의 내용을 들으면서 부드럽게 따라 말하는 연습을 하면, shadow speak 능력이 향상될 것입니다. 또한, 대화의 리듬과 억양에 주의하고, 필요한 경우 멈추거나 되감을 통해 반복 연습을 진행해보세요. 짧은 구문에서부터 시작해 점점 긴 문장으로 발전시킴으로써, 유튜브 영어 공부의 효과를 극대화할 수 있습니다. 물론, 복잡한 문법보다는 간단한 표현을 반복하는 것이 더 도움이 될 것입니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
