hi I'm fazar susilo and in this video I'm going to explain how to use all 12 tenses in English. Let's get started. as you might be aware, English has four present tenses and you're probably familiar with the present simple, as in: Present Simple I study. We use this tense to talk about facts, habits, and schedules. Example: – That is my phone. (fact) – He studies every day. (habit) – On weekends, we play soccer. (schedule) This is the most common verb tense in English. Present Continuous I am studying. We use this tense to describe actions that are happening right now. Example: – You are watching this video. – I am speaking on camera. – An airplane is flying through the sky. It describes actions that are happening as we speak. Present Perfect I have studied. This tense talks about past actions that are connected to the present. Example: – I have studied English for 3 years. (= the studying happened in the past but it's still part of who I am now) – She has eaten breakfast already. – He has lived there all his life. – They have never been to Mexico. Present Perfect Continuous I have been studying. We use this to describe actions that started in the past and are still continuing. Example: – I have been studying Spanish for 8 years. – He has been sleeping for 12 hours. – She has been working two jobs since February. – They have been traveling for 5 weeks. okay ready to talk about the past? let's do it. there are four past tenses: Past Simple I studied. Used for actions that started and finished in the past. Example: – She worked last night. – He ate eggs for breakfast. – I lived in Chicago when I was a child. The key is: the action is completely in the past. Past Continuous I was studying. Describes an ongoing action in the past, often used to give background. Example: – I was studying when the phone rang. – We were living in Canada when we got engaged. – He was running when he caught the ball. Past Perfect I had studied. Shows that one past action happened before another past action. Example: – Sarah had already left by the time he got home. – I had already booked the tickets when the concert sold out. – We had eaten a big lunch, so we weren’t hungry when we got to the hotel. Past Perfect Continuous I had been studying. Describes a continuous action that happened before another past action. Example: – I had been watching TV when the power went out. – He had been eating pizza every day when he started the diet. – We had been talking about going to France for years before we finally decided. now let's move on to the future tenses: Future Simple I will study. Used to talk about future actions. Example: – I will call you tomorrow. – We’ll bring cupcakes to the party. – He’ll be there by 6 p.m. Another way to say it is using “going to”: – I’m going to call you tomorrow. – We’re going to bring cupcakes to the party. – He’s going to be there by 6 p.m. “Going to” sounds more casual. Future Continuous I will be studying. Used to describe actions that will be ongoing at a specific time in the future. Example: – We will be eating dinner from 6 to 7 p.m. – I’ll be running errands all afternoon. – They’re going to be traveling all summer. – The baby’s going to be sleeping when you arrive. Future Perfect I will have studied. Used for actions that will be finished before a specific time in the future. Example: – She will have moved to a new apartment before the end of the year. – He will have finished his homework by the time dinner is ready. – They will have come home by the spring. Future Perfect Continuous I will have been studying. Describes how long something will have been happening by a certain future time. Example: – He will have been driving for 6 hours when he arrives. – We will have been living in Los Angeles for a decade this December. – She will have been working at the company for 40 years when she retires. This tense is rare, but it emphasizes duration. and that’s it! we've now covered all 12 English tenses. congratulations, and thanks for watching.
