Hi, I'm Brian Wiles, and in this video I'm going to explain how to use all 12 tenses in English.
2
Let's get started.
3
As you might be aware, English has four present tenses, and you're probably familiar with the present simple,
4
as in "I study." We use this tense when talking about facts, habits, and schedules.
5
That is my phone.
6
Fact.
7
He studies every day habit.
8
On weekends, we play soccer.
9
Schedule.
10
The present simple is by far the most common verb tense in English, so you'll get plenty of practice with this over time.
11
The present continuous: I am studying.
12
We use the present continuous to describe actions that are happening right now, as in: you are watching this video right now.
13
I am speaking on camera.
14
An airplane is flying through the sky.
15
With this tense, the action is happening as we speak.
16
The Present Perfect I have studied.
17
We use the present perfect when talking about how an action from the past describes the subject now,
18
as in, "I have studied English for three years." In this sentence, "have studied English" is a past action,
19
but we're using it to describe who I am now.
20
It's my experience.
21
And we often use the present perfect to talk about someone's experience or lack of experience.
22
She has eaten breakfast already.
23
He has lived there all his life.
24
They have never been to Mexico.
25
We're using past experience to describe who the subject is now, and that's why this is a present tense.
26
And finally, the present perfect continuous:
27
"I have been studying." We use the present perfect continuous to talk about an action
28
that started in the past and continues non -stop into the present.
29
"I have been studying Spanish for eight years." In other words, I started studying eight years ago,
30
I never stopped, and I'm still learning now.
31
I have been studying.
32
We often use this tense to emphasize when an ongoing action first started, He has been sleeping for 12 hours.
33
She has been working two jobs since February.
34
They have been traveling for five weeks.
35
OK, ready to talk about the past?
36
Let's do it.
37
And again we have four tenses.
38
First up is the past simple: "I studied." This tense is very straightforward and very common.
39
We use it when talking about an action that started in the past and finished in the past.
40
For example, "She worked last night." In other words, "She started work last night,
41
and she finished work last night." he ate eggs for breakfast.
42
He ate eggs then, he's not eating them now.
43
I lived in Chicago when I was a child.
44
I lived there then and I don't live there now.
45
Why?
46
Because an action in the past simple is always finished in the past.
47
Great, now we have the past continuous.
48
I was studying.
49
We use the past continuous to describe an action
50
that continued over a period of time in the past: "I was studying." But more specifically,
51
we almost always use this tense to give context
52
or background for another action: "I was studying
53
when the phone rang." "We were living in Canada when we got engaged." "He was running when he caught the ball."
54
The past perfect: "I had studied." This tense is also used to provide context for another action in the past.
55
But the past perfect always comes beforehand.
56
Sarah had already left by the time he got home.
57
In other words, Sarah left before he got home.
58
It could have been a minute before, an hour before, or a year before.
59
All we know is she had already left.
60
Let's look at two more examples.
61
I had already booked the tickets when the concert sold out.
62
In other words, I booked the tickets before the concert sold out.
63
We had eaten a big lunch so we weren't hungry when we got to the hotel.
64
In other words, we ate a big lunch before we got to the hotel, so we weren't hungry.
65
And finally, the past perfect continuous: "I had been studying." And again, we almost always use this tense to give context.
66
But the past perfect continuous describes an action that continued over time and then stopped at the moment of another action.
67
"I had been watching TV when the power went out." I was watching, I was watching, I was watching, power went out, no more watching.
68
pizza every day when he started the diet.
69
Eating pizza, eating pizza, eating pizza, started the diet.
70
We had been talking about going to France for years and finally decided to go.
71
Talking about going, talking about going, talking about going, decided to go.
72
Congratulations, we've now covered all the past tenses of English.
73
Excellent work.
74
We're on to the final stretch, the future.
75
And again, we've got four tenses.
76
Let's begin with the future simple: I will study.
77
We use the future simple to talk about actions that we believe will happen in the future.
78
I will call you tomorrow.
79
"We'll bring cupcakes to the party." "He'll be there by 6 :00 p .m." And yes,
80
most of the time, English speakers shorten the word "will" to "ll," as in "I'll study," "You'll study," "He'll study," etc.,
81
etc. And there's another form of the future simple that you might already be familiar with going to or gonna,
82
as in, I'm going to call you tomorrow.
83
We're gonna bring cupcakes to the park.
84
He's gonna be there by 6 :00 p .m.
85
The will and going to forms have the same meaning, but going to or gonna is more casual.
86
The Future Continuous: I will be studying.
87
We use the Future Continuous to talk about an action
88
that we believe will continue over a period of time in the future.
89
For example, "We will be eating dinner from 6 to 7 p .m." "I'll be running errands all afternoon." And again,
90
we can also use "going to" instead of "will." they're going to be traveling all summer.
91
the baby's gonna be sleeping when you arrive.
92
The future perfect: "I will have studied." We use the future perfect to talk about actions
93
that will be finished by a certain time in the future.
94
For example, "She will have moved to a new apartment before the end of the year." In other words,
95
here's the end of the year and she'll move to a new apartment sometime before
96
that could be a day before a week before a month before any time Let's look at two more examples.
97
He will have finished his homework by the time dinner is ready.
98
So, dinner is ready and he finished his homework sometime before that.
99
They will have come home by the spring.
100
So, spring comes and they came home sometime before that.
101
The action will be finished before a given time in the future.
102
And finally, the future perfect continuous: I will have been studying.
103
So this time we're talking about a continuous action that will be completed at a given time in the future.
104
He will have been driving for six hours straight when he arrives.
105
Now honestly, English speakers rarely use this tense, but when we do, it's to emphasize the duration of an action, how long it will take.
106
We will have been living in Los Angeles for a decade this December.
107
at the company for 40 years when she retires.
108
And that's it!
109
We've covered all 12 tenses of English.
110

Objetivos de fala para este vídeo
Este vídeo visa ajudar você a dominar os 12 tempos verbais em inglês de forma prática, um marco crucial para a fluência. Ao entender quando e como usar cada tempo, você conseguirá expressar ações no passado, presente e futuro com clareza, o que é essencial para a prática de conversação em inglês eficaz. Além disso, ele prepara você para o shadow speak (técnica de imitação), pois os exemplos são claros e repetitivos, facilitando a imitação da pronúncia e do ritmo.
Banco de frases reutilizáveis
- "I study" (Presente simples: fatos, hábitos e horários)
- "I am studying" (Presente contínuo: ações no momento)
- "I have studied" (Presente perfeito: experiência passada que influencia o agora)
- "I have been studying" (Presente perfeito contínuo: ação que começou no passado e continua)
- "I studied" (Passado simples: ação concluída no passado)
- "I was studying" (Passado contínuo: ação em andamento no passado)
Corrija seus pontos fracos
Um dos principais desafios no aprendizado de inglês é a melhoria da pronúncia e a diferenciação entre tempos verbais. O vídeo ajuda a identificar a estrutura de cada tempo (como o uso de "am", "have" e "been") e o ritmo das frases. Ao praticar o shadowspeak com os exemplos, você aprende a enfatizar as palavras-chave (como "for three years" no presente perfeito) e a manter o fluxo natural. Além disso, ele clareia a diferença entre ações concluídas (passado simples) e contínuas (passado contínuo), evitando erros comuns na conversação. Use os exemplos como guia para o shadow speak diário: repita cada frase imitando a entonação e o tempo de fala do narrador, e você verá progresso rápido na sua fluência.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — uma ação que começou antes e continua | have been studying · has been sleeping · has been working |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | have studied · has eaten · has lived |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | is always finished · will be finished · will be completed |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — uma ação em andamento em um momento do passado | was studying · were living · was watching |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
