my name's ronnie and i'm going to teach
you some grammar
it's kind of a difficult grammar but
once you learn this
overview of
auxiliary verbs english grammar is going
to become
easier for you i hope so
if you're just beginning to
learn english grammar oh
stay in there you can do it yuri this
goes out to you
in salvador brazil let's keep going man
um we have three auxiliary verbs that we
use in english
be do and have
the thing about the auxiliary verbs is
that
each auxiliary verb will tell us what
kind of grammar
we're going to use with it so let's look
at the first one
so be in its form in the present tense
is am is are negative am not
isn't an art these are present the past
tense would be
present or the past tense and the
positive is was and were
negative wasn't and weren't so how do we
actually use this auxiliary verb
and the answer is we use it in two forms
of english grammar
the first one is progressive so
if you have a progressive sentence we
have present progressive
past progressive and future progressive
every time we have a sentence in english
with
progressive we know we're going to use
the verb
to be so
if our sentence is present progressive
we're going to use the present tense of
the verb to be
is mr with a verb with ing
so in english grammar anything that's
progressive
or continuous is another word for the
same grammar
it's always going to be an ing on the
verb the thing that changes and tells us
the grammar is the verb to be
present is is mr plus verb ing
but the past we're going to use the past
tense
was in were plus verb i and g so
progressive will always have a verb ing
the thing that changes the tense of it
is the verb to be
we have future progressive or future
continuous
in this one we're simply going to use
the um
verb will so in this one we have will be
plus verb i and g for example i
will be eating pizza this tells us
what's going to happen
in the future i was eating pizza
was the past and i am eating pizza
something's happening now that's present
progressive so
the progressive will always have the
verb to be either
past present or future and it will
always have an ing
on the verb okay cool
let's get more complicated okay um
we have another structure in english
grammar called passive
now passive voice basically you're
taking the action
from the person or the focus on the
person
and we're putting it towards the
activity so in a normal english sentence
we would say
i eat lunch but in a passive sentence
we're taking away the subject and we're
focusing on the action
so with the passive voice we have future
passive
present passive and past passive it goes
along the same idea
is that the verb to be is going to tell
us
is it present or if it's past
when we use a passive sentence we can
only ever use the past participle of the
verb or the third step
of the verb so passive will always be
the verb to be plus the past participle
if it's present it's is mr plus pp
past participle if it's passed it's
wasn't work plus a past participle
it's hard to say the past participle so
i'm gonna say pp
i have to go peepee so as an example we
say lunch is eaten
present tense lunch was eaten
going to step away and let you check
that out let your brain absorb it
make some sentences using this and the
verb to be
if we use the future passive i could say
lunch
will be eaten so again when we're using
the future
we use will be but we're going to use
the past participle
have you made some sentences do it now
come on make some sentences go okay
so we've done the verb to be and
hopefully it's beginning to make sense
because english grammar rarely makes
sense i'm gonna make it make sense for
you
so the next one is the auxiliary verb
do now this one's interesting because
we only use it in the negative form
in the simple present or we use it in
the negative in the simple past
so we don't have to worry about the
positive but we do use it
for the negative in the simple present
and
the negative in the past and
for questions so let's check out first
the simple present or present simple we
only use this auxiliary verb for the
negative in the question form so
in the negative we're going to use
subject
plus don't or doesn't plus
the base verb now this is where english
gets tricky and you have to remember
that if it is i
you we and they we use don't but
if it's he she or it we have to use
doesn't
so this is you always have to be careful
with your subject and your verb
agreement
they have to agree so as an example i
don't like pizza
if i used he i would say he doesn't
like pizza and we have to be careful
and use the base verb okay the question
would be
does he like pizza are like a dog
um if it's a question form we put the
auxiliary verb first
do doesn't subject plus the base verb
not the vase verb the base verb we also
use this in the past simple
again only with negative and only with a
question
so the way that we change did sorry
does into the negative is didn't in the
past
but this is where we always
make a mistake i've told you english
grammar is crazy
i'm not joking um when we use didn't
we always have to use the base verb so
this is where we get confused because we
think
ronnie this is past tense so if it's
past tense we have to use the past
of the verb because
our auxiliary verb didn't makes the
sentence past
so if it's an auxiliary verb it's going
to tell us
if it's past or present and we have to
use the base verb
so we have to say he didn't go
home you cannot say he didn't
went home that's grammatically wrong
this verb tells us it's past
and this verb tells us it's present well
that's kind of cool when you learn it
if you're doing the question form it's
very similar to this
past tense did subject plus your base
again you always have to be careful
even though it is past
we actually have to use the base verb
because the did
or the auxiliary verb tells us hey this
is a past tense
not a present tense please use the base
verb
so did didn't
didn't in the negative and did in the
question another tip
when you are speaking english
and you're asking someone a question
always ask them a positive question it's
more difficult for the answer and for
the speaker and for everyone involved
if you use a negative question so just
for now
you're just learning this always ask a
positive question
did i go home didn't i go home
the negative question is always much
more confusing
and we need to make english grammar
simpler
we're almost done here i'm going to step
away and let you absorb this please make
one two three four sentences using the
auxiliary verb
do
and we are back with the last one the
last one the most exciting one
maybe ever yeah this is the most
exciting one
we are going to use have has negative
haven't
and hasn't and then we have the past
hadn't hadn't so
when we use the verb as an auxiliary
have
we use it for our perfect tenses in
english
they're so perfect so
when we use the perfect tense our verb
is always going to be the past
participle
just like in the passive so the passive
and the perfix in english we always use
the past participle
and again we can have the future perfect
we can have present perfect and we can
have
past perfect so the way we form the
future
perfect is we're going to use subject
with
will so future we use will all the time
have and then the past participle okay
or we can also use has so the future we
use
will plus have plus the past participle
or the pp
if we're using present perfect we're
going to use a subject
have or has plus the past participle
so if you can think about this have
in the present tense is haven't has
so in the past tense we're going to use
had plus the past participle so
if we're using past perfect
we're using had plus pp
if we're talking about present perfect
we're using
has plus pp people get confused and a
lot of people think
that the present perfect is the present
tense
but it's not the present perfect talks
about the past
the thing that makes the verb present or
past
is our wonderful auxiliary verb have
if the verb have is present perfect
we use the present tense of the verb if
we use
the past tense if we use past perfect
we're going to use the past tense of
have
so i haven't eaten lunch
i'm hungry um future i will have played
seven games so we're using will
have plus the past participle if we use
present perfect we use he she
it has eaten you weigh thee have eaten
you have to be careful again
on your subject and your verb agreement
there's so many things to remember
and then the past participle or sorry
the past perfect
all we're doing is changing has or have
to had and this one's cool because we
don't have to worry about
he she and it they all use had
thank you for being easy past perfect
