today we're going to look at using have
has and had this lesson is broken into
two main parts this week i'm going to
talk about perfect tenses i'm going to
talk about present perfect past perfect
and future perfect and then last i'm
going to talk about have for ownership
and using it in
responsibility patterns
so let's get started there's a lot to
cover i'm going to share the lesson and
then i'm going to begin
for this week
we have lots of people joining us
welcome everybody from around the world
that is super cool okay shared let's get
going okay let's begin
with perfect tense so perfect tense uh
is i think a challenging grammar point
for many learners some people i read
your comments some people say there's no
perfect tense
uh in their language so let's take a
look first at present perfect tense
present perfect tense
uh present perfect tense
is used uh i'm gonna cover two uses of
present perfect tense in this lesson so
for each
use of perfect tense i've drawn this
timeline so that you can kind of see
uh when we use this grammar point first
point number one uh on this timeline
it's a little hard to see on this
timeline this point here this is now the
present this direction is the future and
over here the past
use one of present perfect tense is for
life experience at a non-specific point
in the past so it's hard to see on this
whiteboard but there's this kind of
dotted blue line in the past here
so this means an action that happened in
the past but when the action happened is
not important or maybe we don't know
exactly so this is use one of present
perfect
use two with present perfect is for an
action that started in the past
and continues to the present
or the effects of that action continue
to the present so on the board here i've
shown it with this red line yeah so here
some action started in the past and it
continues to the present
so we use this
with the progressive form of a verb the
ing form so let's take a look at some
example sentences
uh oh sorry first let's look at how we
make it how we make it with have and has
so to make present perfect tense we'll
start with our subject so that means
like i or you or we or he or she and so
on
then we choose
have or has
and we finish with the past participle
form of a verb the past participle form
of a verb is something we have to study
we have to study this this is a special
a special verb type for each verb
so when do we use have when do we use
has let's take a look at some example
sentences so when your subject is i
or you
or we
we use have as in this example
i have been
to thailand i have been to thailand
here i've used the verb have
this bin
is the past participle form of be
so i have been to thailand another
example she
has never seen that movie she has never
seen that movie here i used has why
because the subject if the subject of
the sentence is she
he or it we have to use has
this sentence i've used never as well so
point
to make this pattern negative you can
use not
or never
before
the past participle verb
what's the difference between not and
never never is an emphasis it's like
saying at no time at no point in the
past
did this happen
so she has not seen that movie is also
correct she has never seen that movie is
emphasized we're emphasizing this thing
okay
let's look at another one this one uses
the progressive form
he has been working here for three years
so in this sentence i've used the same
he has because my subject is he
my past participle verb
is bin
the verb that follows
is in the progressive form the next verb
progressive means the ing form
he has been working here for three years
so when you use this one number two
meaning number two typically you'll use
it with
an expression like for three years or
since 2001 or something like that to
express
when the action started
okay one more example and then we'll go
to past perfect
we
have had enough
to eat we have had enough to eat so
this one
many learners get confused when the verb
is have
so the past participle form of the verb
have is had so we have had
enough to eat that means i'm full i'm
done eating so
this is present perfect tense this is
how we use have and has with this
grammar
i don't see any questions but please
feel free to send your questions in the
chat
i will try to answer
live as much as possible hey masaya cool
i have taken this class for three years
perfect tan says she has been living
here for three years great
uh
sorry
sally foo hi uh this last week i haven't
been in school very nice very nice
okay
let's continue on to past perfect now
many of you have asked me about past
perfect uh so i want to spend some time
talking about this point and future
perfect
uh today so
let's talk about past perfect again i
want to share two ways that we use past
perfect first to express
the earlier of two past actions so this
is helpful when you are talking about
a point in time in your past like when
you were
in elementary school or when you were a
university student
something like that
you have a past point in time and you
want to talk about something before that
when you want to do that and clearly
show which action was first like here's
your first action and here's your second
action
use past perfect
to express the earlier action
and simple past tense to express the
action closest to now
so for example i had met him
before
you introduced us
at the party
so this part i had met him this is past
perfect tense
we make past perfect tense with subject
again just like this subject plus
had
plus the past participle verb form i had
met him
before you introduced us so this you
introduced me and someone else yeah this
happened here you introduced us at the
party but before that i met him
so we express this relationship with
past perfect tense
okay
if you have questions just send them
don't tell me you have a question just
send it in the chat that's best for
everybody okay
the second use of past perfect tense
is continuing past action something that
was continuing in the past that was
interrupted interrupted oh so again it's
hard to see here sorry there's a dotted
red line
that goes to here
stopped so interrupted means it was
stopped or changed in some way
so uh
for example an example with this we'll
see this with the progressive form
i had been studying it was hard to see i
had been studying
for two hours
when my mom called i had been studying
for two hours when my mom called so
points here this part i had been
follows this grammar pattern i had been
past participle verb is been
studying then so in use two of past
perfect
this verb the verb after your past
participle form is in the progressive or
the continuous form ing
then
we follow it
with
another
past tense a simple past tense
expression this is very common with this
grammar too when
when
marks
the point of interruption
uh
let's see some questions are coming in
so these are my last ones so if you have
questions about this point i will try to
check byron this morning refers to
simple past or present perfect
expression it depends on the sentence
this morning alone can go in many
different directions it depends on your
verb so if you say let's have a meeting
this morning it could mean in the future
or we met this morning it could mean uh
in the past so it depends
uh
some other wow there are lots of
questions coming in um
in past perfect may i use i had had yes
yes you may so that's a that's a very
common question with this grammar point
past perfect
if your verb if you want to use the verb
have
the correct sentence is had had like i
had had dinner by the time i got home is
totally correct i know it sounds strange
to repeat that word like twice but
that's correct so had had is correct yes
yes
[Music]
some other things
how often do people use past perfect
tense uh
it's i would say it's not as common as
like present perfect tense um it's hard
to say how often uh but i just got my
first reaction is that it's less
commonly used than present perfect tense
but it's still very important to know
andres is it correct to say i would have
been studied no it is not correct uh
maybe i had been studying for two hours
for example it depends on what you want
to say
uh
what is the difference between past
perfect and past simple i have some
videos on the english class 101 youtube
channel about that question so please do
a search on the channel you can find
some answers there
okay
um all right it's facebook okay okay uh
let's take one quick break and then
we'll continue to the future tense
section
alrighty uh so in case you missed it
earlier uh
i want to share a couple things you can
find for free if you're watching on
youtube you can get these from the link
below the video on youtube if you are
watching on facebook you can get these
from the link above the video above the
chat box there
these are
i won't show this one these are a
vocabulary and phrases that you can use
uh
to talk about everyday life
or just to
work on building your vocabulary so you
can down these are all in pdf form uh
you can choose whichever topic is
interesting for you so this is
supermarkets this is a travel this one
is sports and exercise uh and uh dining
but it says dining but actually
on the back
there's just food
and expressions like for complimenting
people when they cook so this might be a
nice one
okie dokie so please check that out uh
below or above the video if you're
watching on you youtube instagram please
check youtube or facebook okay
all right let's go uh to
let's see a couple more questions are
coming in can i explain slim uh sorry
sim says can i explain why i had been
studying for two hours when my mom
called sure i didn't break that down
very well did i i did it quickly okay
let's look at this one again and then
we'll go to future tense uh future
perfect this sentence here
there let's break this into like two
parts okay
so i had been studying this part right
here
is my past perfect
continuous i had been studying
this part expresses my continuing action
in the past i was doing this thing
here
for two hours this tells me how long
i continued that action how long did
that action continue
when this word
marks
where the action stopped or was
interrupted
my mom called
this thing
is the past tense simple past tense one
time action that happened so these are
the parts of this sentence continuing
action how long did the action continue
interruption point
action that interrupted me so i hope
that that helps you
okay
can i use present perfect when action
was in the past but there is a
connection with the present uh yeah so
like this for if the action if you want
to talk about an effect yes so something
happened in the past
and it continues the effect continues
yes please use present perfect okay i'm
going to go to future perfect now
because this one is a little bit tricky
so
let's look at a future perfect tense now
please uh facebook okay facebook okay
okay
uh no my facebook is weird okay let's
continue uh to future perfect future
perfect so again we have a timeline here
this timeline looks very similar to the
present perfect timeline well it might
be a little difficult to see on your
screen but
future perfect let's talk about two ways
that we use future perfect tense future
perfect number one is for finished life
experience in the future so this is kind
of strange to think about finished life
experience in the future
example
by this time next year
i will have finished
university by this time next year i will
have finished university so what is
happening in this sentence
i have this future point in time here
i'll change my marker color so it's
easier to see
here's my future point in time
by this time
next year
so
what it's what now march end of march uh
so at this time next year by this time
next year i
will have finished
university
so i'm talking about
some
finished life experience that i expect
in the future so that's kind of that's
what i'm trying to communicate with this
blue dotted line here it's in the future
so there's something i expect is going
to happen at a future point in time
so what is happening in this sentence in
this sentence let's focus on this part i
will have finished university
we have our subject
then with future perfect we use will
have will have and the past participle
form of the verb again i will have
finished university
when we use this grammar point
we typically use an expression like this
by some point in time by some future
point in time so please let's be careful
of this i'm going to talk about
prepositions with this grammar point
by shows like a deadline for something
so a deadline for a future action
by this time next year so
that means i'm going to do many things
until this time next year
at which point
i will have finished university
uh hola on facebook says next year i
will have finished my school excellent
that is very cool
um
okay on to
another example sentence let's look at a
weather example sentence a weather
example sentence it will have stopped
raining
by tomorrow it will have stopped raining
by tomorrow when we talk about the
weather we usually use it yeah like it's
sunny or it's cloudy or it's raining
when we want to talk about a prediction
for the weather future prediction
it will have stopped
stopped is the past participle form of
the verb
so i'm talking about this future
experience
uh with this grammar point
you could say like it will stop raining
by tomorrow the difference there it will
stop raining tomorrow is like that
sentence is like a prediction like a
guess this is kind of more like an
expectation like you're talking about
something a little more uh
you're kind of more sure
okay one more
we will not
have saved enough money to buy a house
by next year so this is long and it's
negative so let's break this one down
so first let's look at these two parts
by next year first at the end of the
sentence
marks the deadline so when is this going
to happen when is our deadline so it's
by next year that's first so that's our
time period
we will not have saved so here
i'm using
the negative form of this grammar point
so maybe another way to say this
sentence is by this uh by next year
uh i don't think i am going to have
enough money to buy a house
that's what this sort of means uh but
it's more like worse
we're kind of confident about this at
this future point in time
we will not have saved enough money to
buy a house
okay um
some other questions
is it necessary to use by tomorrow or
only tomorrow with this grammar point
generally there's some deadline like by
future point in time so typically we see
buy used when you're using use one we
typically use buy to mark a point in
time i want to continue to the next
preposition point about this though
let's look at the second use of this
second use of this
again i've marked this in red it's kind
of hard to see
it's an action that will be continuing
in the future that means this action
isn't continuing now or maybe maybe it
started recently but in the future at a
future point in time
you want to talk about a continuing
action we do that with future perfect
examples
in spring
of 2022
i will have been working
at this company for 10 years
so
again
this has two parts
here's my time period my future time
period in spring of 2022 so that's the
time period i want to talk about
then i will have been working so again
with point two we're using
the progressive form of the verb
after the past participle i will have
been working so using this future
perfect shows
i continued working working working and
i'm going to continue working i will
have been working at this company
for
10 years so again
this is another uh point here
we commonly talk about the total uh time
period
with an expression like for
duration
four ten years four eight hours whatever
so again future time period
continuing action
how long
was the continuing action or how long is
the continuing action let's look at
another example of this this is a tricky
point i know
uh in august
he will have been living in france for
three months so again we have these same
parts to the sentence in august
he will
have been living
progressive form
here
marks this future expectation something
we expect to continue in the future
how long for three months is the total
time here
so maybe you can see then too
in this case we're using in
in it's very common to use in
for these progressive form patterns yeah
okay last one
when she finishes her thesis when she
finishes her thesis
she will have been studying for 18 years
okay so this one's a little different
there's no in at the beginning of this
sentence but we still have all the
information
when she finishes her thesis
so this is marking like kind of the end
point we can do this with this grammar
too
we can mark kind of the end point the
expected end point
for a continuing action with win
when she
finishes please note this
when she finishes this is in a present
tense when she finishes her thesis
she will have been
studying
for 18 years so how long was the total
time
18 years so at this point when she
finishes
her thesis she will have been studying
so these are the two uses of future
perfect tense this one's a little tricky
i wanted to introduce it quickly here i
think there's some videos on the youtube
channel about this grammar point there
are definitely videos on the channel
about these two so this is the hard the
hard part of the lesson is over so i
hope that it was helpful for you some
questions uh our zoo on facebook says
how often do you do natives use future
perfect in regular life again sim it's
hard to say exactly uh i would say less
often than past perfect tense uh but
this is a this is something that we use
when we are making plans for the future
this can be at work it could be like
vacation plans it could be social plans
uh we talk we use it when we're making
schedules and so on so you of course
it's still very important to study this
grammar point
uh
in the last example why didn't you use
will i did use will she will have been
studying
so we always use will
with the future perfect tense she will
have been studying uh for 18 years
okay uh
uh
i don't see other questions yet okay
long time for a thesis yeah
i said 18 years to mean uh from like
elementary school to like a master's
degree or something what was it i think
master's degree was what i chose okay
let's take one more break
let's take one more break and then i'll
finish the last points the last points
are easier so you can relax a bit uh
i'll show you some things i haven't
shown you so far today
uh
some other pdfs that you can pick up are
the around town pdf this one is about uh
words expressions you can use in your
city uh for giving like directions and
things are you going to zoom or no no
uh this one's for emergency expressions
uh so you can take a look at this on the
back side are some uh full phrases that
you can use oh i asked if you're gonna
zoom that's okay and then uh some other
ones for those of you interested in
music i know this one hard to see sorry
this one says singing i know uh but this
actually on the back has lots and lots
of music related phrases music
expression sorry to see ah so if you
want to check these out i know it's
really hard to see just click on the
link uh or above or below the video and
you can just check and download the ones
that you want this is free
okay
let's go to the last part of our lesson
today if you're just joining us uh
today's topic is how to use have
has and had so i've covered perfect
tenses now i'm going to talk about uh
ownership and responsibilities so this
will be
something i think beginners know a bit
about
okidoki so let's go to that and then
we'll finish up send your questions of
course i will try to i will try to check
everything uh in uh as much as possible
so let's take a look
ownership when we want to talk about
something we own
like this like i have this marker or i
have this paper we use have
to do that depending on the subject
again if your subject is i or you or we
please use have i have he ha sorry you
have we have
if your subject is he she or it please
use has
follow it with your object examples
i have time to talk i have time to talk
if this subject is he she or it has she
has
two pets so this is my object after the
verb is my object
he doesn't have a job to make your
sentence negative please use do
not
or does
not
i do not have he does not have to reduce
it
doesn't
or don't if your subject is i
so we use this for ownership in the
present form so this is present form
let's look at using had here if you want
to talk about the past something you
owned in the past used had
the subject does not matter here i had
he had she had you's had for everything
i had a nice lunch
or
he had a dog when he was a kid
so please use had to express ownership
in the past had goes here
final point for today is
responsibilities responsibilities i
think many of you know have to or
has to
subject has to something so
in this sentence or in this pattern
please use the infinitive form of the
verb infinitive form is the dictionary
form the type you see when you check the
dictionary so subject has infinitive
verb or sorry has to infinitive verb
for example i have to work if your
subject is i you we i have to
work infinitive form
last ones she has to
go to the bank
we don't have to leave yet to make it
negative again do not or does not these
follow the same rules in terms of the
negative form
lastly for past responsibilities again
just use had but add to subject had to
infinitive verb
sorry i had to leave early or
he had to run for the train so we're
talking about
responsibilities here had for the past
uh have to or has to for the present
i have to finish
the live stream so
i will end it there
grammar is very complicated yes i know
but
it's exciting because grammar rules
don't change so just learn the grammar
and then you can focus on vocabulary
yeah okay i have to finish there so uh
thank you very much for joining us in
this week's lesson
uh
there is a chance there will be no live
stream next week but we are working on
some solutions so we hope that you will
