Hi, about the futur continious, one example is : " I will be sleeping when you come home ". Why did you not say " I will be slepping when you WILL come home ?". Thank you
FINALLY ! ! ! Greg explained all the things in a 25 minutes that school teacher tried to teach me (unsuccessfully lol) 7 years straight! ! ! Many thanks, you are the best!
I am a senior. I came across your channel quite by chance and was curious. Most of us can still learn something about our mother tongue. What a fabulous teacher you are!
The way you explain is brilliant, it has been one of the most productive videos I have ever watched. You are a magnificent teacher. Thanks for everything you have taught us.
Greg, you're the best. It is awesome having this level of information for free! Your channel and Dulingo are making my english improve much faster than ever and, the best, almost for free! Thanks a lot! ❤
Thank you for explaining this to us Greg. I do hope that you'll continue your passion, continue to inspire others, and I know that you're happy with what you have been doing all this time. I'm rooting that you'll get more subscribers. God bless!! 😊
Ok i try to explain . However i am not english man. I suppose will and shall . Shall is only for i and we . We use it rarely. These became from scotland. If my infos help you . I will be pleased that i am able to instuct something
@@islom17 I was taught the same thing. "Shall" is for "I" and "we" otherwise it is "will" all the time. But in real English there is no such a thing. I've met "shall" with "you", "he" or "she" and with simple nouns. And "will" is used with everything as well. Thats why I'm curious about it.
23:09 Had the company been starting?( I mean , ex. I'd been looking for a job for months before "I decided to start a business".Does the businesscontinue starting now?) Thanks for everybody's help!😍
Thank you a lot, Greg! I had been looking for a perfect video to learn these tenses better before I saw your video on RU-vid. I am glad I could finally find the best of all! I loved it.
You're really quite amazing, truly. The fact that you are doing this and providing such amazing resources for people is just fantastic. I really hope you are very successful in your field, I really do. You provide so much and what you're offering is just invaluable. I love it! Keep on keeping on, sir :)
Hello, Greg. I have noticed that some people pronounce the word "often" with the /T/ sound, and others pronounce the same word without the aforementioned sound (so that the /T/ is silent). Can you make a video about that? I know that words like "listen" and "soften" completely omit the /T/ sound, but "often" seems to divide people, and "hasten" too. I would love to know your opinion about this.
@@newgabe09 Hello, partner. I truly appreciate your comment. According to wordreference online dictionary, the "UK-RP" (received pronunciation) adds the /T/ sound when saying that word (hasten). The UK-Yorkshire accent also does that. Please go, check it, and tell me your opinion. Thanks in advance.
@@marinopayan7338 hi, I looked at that dictionary and it said the same as my comment; saying 'often' with or without a T sound is OK. Personally, I do not say the T and I think this is more common. I didn't see any mention of the T in hasten in that dictionary. I'm a native English speaker/teacher, have lived/travelled in many places including Yorkshire and have never heard the T in hasten. If you are learning English, better to not say it, it will sound strange.
@@newgabe09 When it comes to the word "often" there is no discussion. The dictionary says what you and I say, but the word "hasten" is pronounced with /T/ specifically by the UK-RP and UK-Yorkshire accents on Wordreference (and NOT by the other accents). Maybe Wordreference has different contents depending on the country people are. I have even recorded my screen as proof of what I hear. Nevertheless, I truly appreciate your comments and your experience as a native English speaker and as a teacher. Thank you so much! You could also make videos, and I'll be happy to watch them.
Wisely explanation so much knowledge about it,this part of grammar can be difficulty. But you did it seem most easily for the learns through this lesson. Stay in safe,MR.Greg!
Only 25 mins. and my problems with verb tenses in English are solved. It was one of the greatest lessons I've watched. Thanks teacher Greg. Since the first lesson I watched I subscribed because I knew this channel is a gold mine. Greetings from Mozambique - Africa
This is the only one video that I watched how much times that I didn't count. Even I still watch when i get free and try to learn and remember every tenses. Thank you Sir Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Hi, would you explain what the difference is, and when and which form to use by a verb that has two different forms in the past participle (e.g. dreamed or dreamt) - I've been speaking English for more than 40 years now, but I still have not figured it out. 😊 Also, what's the difference, between a porpoise and a dolphin, a turtle and a tortoise, a rabbit and hare? Thanks
Excelente video. Precisamente ayer estuve haciendo un cuadro en Excel con los 12 tiempos pero conjugado con todos los pronombres personales. Así entiendo más. Ahhh e incluí el tiempo condicional combinado con simple, continuous, perfect y perfect continuous. Thanks a lot Greg
Revered sir, that you are the greatest grammarian of this generation admits of no doubt.You are, therefore, requested with folded hands to solve the 'proper form of verb ' problem-It ---(rain) for hours last night.Ans.-was raining/rained/had been raining/had rained.
I would love to know all 50 ways to conjugate "play" in Spanish!!! I am comparing English and Spanish tenses for my English-speaking Spanish students, many of which need to learn how to conjugate in English before understanding Spanish, so any info/resources/feedback would be much appreciated! 🙏
Simple present - we leave the house at 8:30. Simple past - I studied English at school. Simple future - I will pay you tomorrow. (Promise) Present Continuous - I am explaining the present con… - You are looking the blackboard Past continuous - I was tidying the house while she was cooking. - The kids were playing while I was working. future continuous - I will be sleeping when you come home. Present perfect - I have spoken to him three times today. - I have lost my sunglasses. Can i borrow yours? Past perfect - I had heard the news before you told me. - I had lived in Kenya before i started learning Swahili. - She had eaten a packet of biscuits just before I gave her lunch.
If I met my colleague in the office, why not use all three tenses below? The idea is the same, sense the same so why should complicate all this stuff? I’ve been looking for you. I was looking for you. I looked for you.
Did you hear at 14:17!!! [iit]-[et]-[iiten]. I've heard the past [et] (instead of [eit]) two times in my life; in a cd-record with whassisname and now with Greg. My A.S. Hornby Oxford Dictionary says so as well, but I had come to think that this pronunciation was archaic. i.e. this my observation also for Britons. Not sure that you care to comment further, Greg, but if you do, then please comment, because this is a controversy, and in no sense intuitive.
Thank you very much for the lesson. I often find myself getting confused with the various tenses while engaging in conversations. I have two questions and would appreciate your guidance. In the future perfect tense, is 'will have' followed by the past participle or the past verb form? In the past perfect tense, is 'had' followed by the past participle or the past form verb? Thank you.
Could you some day address the verb "to wake" in various forms? Some examples would be "I have waked up" or "I had woken" or "Did I wake/waken/awake/awaken you?" So confusing.
I tried twice to receive the PDF of the tenses. Twice I gave my email address. No PDF. Sounds like a RIP OFF. I suppose I’ll be bombarded with all kinds of emails from cons.
I Will have my exam about verbal tenses the next friday. My natal lenguaje is spanish, so it's more dificult to me. i need aprove the exam to finish my secondary school. I hope Your video help me.😢
Bonjour, je ne trouve pas la vidéo dont vous parler : These hidden words have the answers. Vous disiez que lorsqu’on connaît ces mots, nous savons que nous avons besoin d’un temps perfect tense. Pouvez-vous SVP me donnez le lien. Merci beaucoup! 🇨🇦Linda
I am wondering why u picked the word "rain". But good video, now I understand it a little bit better. But don't expect that I'll use it right in a conversation.:)
Past continuous: what about specific time in the past? I was sleeping at 7 o'clock yesterday. Isn't it correct? Or I was cooking the whole day yesterday. What about this sentence?
Bonjour Greg, dans une de tes vidéos, tu parlais d’une de tes vidéos qui donnait la liste des mots (indicateur de temps), mais je ne la trouve pas et elle m’intéresse, pourrais-tu SVP m’envoyer le lien. Merci beaucoup pour tes vidéos qui nous motivent pour notre apprentissage de l’anglais. Bye et bonne journée! 🇨🇦Linda
Hi from Kyiv, Greg! I tend to think that it is the best explanation about tenses at least from my Cyrillic perspective. Do you have something like this one about passive? As for me, it's like a step number two if we imply that tenses it's number one. I hope that after these two first steps, we can even try to run
For what those 12 tenses? Almost English learners will feel comfortable when they are learning how to have meaningful conversations... without thinking the right tenses so much...those tenses may be useful for those deepening English but not for the starters...they need more vocabulary and right pronunciation than that grammar

Can I use the "going to" in every tence, if I already have planed something in the future, like: "I'm. going to sleeping, while you are not at home" or "Im going to have been living for 10 years in London, before I start to study at the university"? Or can I use "going to" only in the simple future?
