hey guys welcome to my channel today I'm
going to teach you which tends to use
when you see certain words in the
sentence we've got a marker words so
sometimes you see them when you're like
oh when people use this word they would
typically use this particular tense and
I'm gonna teach you those words so here
just did continue watching
[Music]
before you start quick disclaimer
English evolves all the time yes there
are grammar rules and for some tense
especially like present perfect if a
test taker creates a sentence for you
puts one of those marker words in that
sentence there's like 99% chance he
wants you to use present perfect because
he wants to know whether you've learned
those words by heart but when you talk
to a native speaker when you're in this
relaxed environment people use this
words with other tenses as well so there
is no like 100% guarantee if you see one
of the words that I've mentioned they
use like that particular tense but if
it's a test I would say it's like 90%
plus guarantee that you should use this
particular tense but I would always look
at the context okay so you see the word
and then you look at the context we will
explain you when we use certain tenses
so always always always pay attention to
the context let's start with the
simplest tense ever present simple
present simple is a tense that is used
for regular actions something that
happens to every day every night every
month so something that you do regularly
and also for some things that are pre
scheduled like the airplane arrives at 5
p.m. the marker words for this tense
usually every day every week so whenever
you see every that's really present
simple often seldom or the synonym for
it is really and really is more
Americans for actions that don't happen
too often always never sometimes as a
rule hardly ever hardly ever is like
very very rarely hardly ever do I get 12
hours of sleep per night today on Sunday
from time to time I go to swimming pool
from time to time
the next tense that is also simple past
simple and this is the tense that we use
to describe actions in the past
and it doesn't really matter what kind
of result we have right now cuz that's
present perfect for best simple think of
it as telling a story telling a story
about something that happened to you
last year in 1994 so you're just
describing the series of actions or just
one action or something that you were
doing back then so just think of it this
way you're describing something that
happened to you something you did a year
ago two years ago etc yesterday the day
before yesterday last week month year
etc whenever you see last that's really
past simple a goal it's also a great
marker word so whenever you see a go
again 90% plus it's gonna be past simple
and we could go a month ago a year ago
the other day which means on one of the
days that have passed in 1994 or any
year in the past once once upon a time
there lived an elephant in Africa when
and you would insert something in the
past at 3 o clock yesterday or at 3
o'clock the day before yesterday that
day by the way guys if you want these
words but written down something that
you can print out something that you can
have in front of you on your desk we
have created a memo for you where we
have all of those marker words you also
have a test which is divided by certain
levels of English so you can check where
you're at right now with your attend
--ss there is also a table that
describes how to build different tenses
and there's also a table with irregular
verbs remember we're talking about past
simple right now when we're talking in
the past a verb goes into the second
form and there are regular verbs like I
walked in the park I published this
video there are also irregular verbs
like I put my phone on the table
yesterday whatever
I drove five miles an hour irregular
verbs are formed in a different way it's
not just putting ad in the
it is something else and we have created
a table for you with these verbs and
also how to learn them easily there is a
small fee to download this table it's
one dollar fee just to support our
designers and us so it's me and Vania
who created this table and also my team
the link is below you're gonna have it
all in front of you you can have all the
words so you can just bring them out
hang them in front of you and always
have them in front of your eyes so
whenever you have questions you can just
refer to that memo by the way in this
video we are going to talk about all the
12 tenses we're going to talk about
present simple past simple future simple
present progressive and present perfect
but in the table we have more intense as
we have seven tenses in total in terms
of this marker words future simple
future simple talks about future actions
and something for you to remember future
simple is when you're not 100% sure
about something for example you have an
appointment with your friend and he says
I will come in an hour so that means
he's 90% sure that he will come in an
hour
maybe he won't come because you can't
control other people but if you have an
airplane that leaves at 5:00 p.m. you
see I'm already using present simple so
when it's something that you're 100%
sure off its present simple it's like
four time tables opening schedules and
stuff the store opens at 9:00 a.m. the
store closes at 9:00 p.m. that's all
present simple but we're talking about
actions we're not sure about like 90
percent well we are sure 90 percent or
more is still kind of guessing that's
future simple and the marker words are
tomorrow the day after tomorrow next
week month year etc in an hour in a
second in a minute
etc in the 22nd century soon later
someday and someday of course meaning
someday in the future in a day in a week
in five years so whenever you see in
plus and according to the context you
know hundred percent
or that's really simple in the future
one of these days present progressive
and in British English you would call it
present continuous it also depends on
the textbook that you using but it's
pretty much the same America would say
present progressive or present
continuous the tense that is used to
describe something that is happening
right now so the word the first marker
word obvious now right now at the moment
today two other marker words so look
listen like for example if you're trying
to pay somebody's attention something
like look they are fighting we need to
stop them we are paying somebody's
attention to an action that's happening
right now still they are still fighting
at this very moment currently these days
this week this month this year
constantly I'm constantly hearing sirens
you know recording videos in this
apartment because they're very close to
the center and if something is
constantly going on you see how I'm
using this constantly and stuff and the
last but not the least we're gonna talk
about present perfect and I know you mix
it with past simple very often so
present perfect focuses it's a present
tense okay it's not a past tense because
it's present perfect and it focuses on
the result you have right now come on
guys
present perfect is a present tense
it focuses all their self that you have
right now it does not focus on the
details of a past action because for
that we have past simple for as else
right now we have present perfect so for
example I have eaten this means that you
are not hungry if you're kind of
translating explaining if you say I ate
pizza yesterday for lunch that means
you're telling a story about what
happened yesterday you're not really
focusing on something that you have
right now this is a way for you to
determine which tends to use and marker
words of course like for this tense mark
awards that you've probably learned to
school ever and ever since already yet
whenever you see them
on the test oh my god I think that's
like 95 97 percent chance but the test
takers want to test you whether you've
learned those marker words or not ever
never just already yet recently lately
lately means you've started doing
something recently again I've started
walking every night lately before always
so far at last it's the first time it's
the first time since we've known each
other
something happened all my life all
morning that was it from you guys for
today if you want more tense as more
marker words if you want to test
yourself if you want to know how the
tenses are formed if you want to have a
list of irregular verbs the link is
below there is a memo by me and my
credited teacher friend / friend Nina
