We tell stories every day. Perhaps not Shakespearean masterpieces but short anecdotes to communicate day-to-day events. Also, it's very useful to know how to tell stories if you're preparing for an English exam in both the writing and speaking papers, and the NARATIVE TENSES are essential in order to express yourself effectively.

I had learnt English on my own before I attended an English school. Reading books helped me to gain a good vocabulary and consequently to tell a story. The more we read the wiser we become. I really appreciate your videos. Thanks once more!
Reading is extremely important 👏
On my first day of high school school, l woke up at the crack of dawn and l was ecstatic to make new friends. Once l got there l bumped into my middle school best friend it was so lovely to see her l hadn't seen her for a year so while we were chatting another friend turned up he was one of our old classmates from elementary school "what a pleasant surprise " He said. Then, when lunch time came we decided to reminisce our old school days by going to our favorite italian restaurant down the block and when we got there we ran into our middle school teacher, so we sat down together the four of us and had the time of our life.
I know it wasn't as interesting as l wanted to be, but it's a real story so l hope you like it. ❤
I had been trying to learn English for the last 6 months (still learning). I just saw this video, and I felt like I just hit the jackpot. It had a very clear and crisp explanation. You've earned a subscriber. Thank you, Ben!
Great to enjoy another video from you!!! Thank you
My pleasure!
Hello Ben, here comes a long message. I passed the CAE! With a grade A. I don't even think I'm that good in English, tbh. Welp, your videos were a vital piece for it as were your recommendations. You recommended Engxam and I assure any exam taker reading this, that that platform is extremely useful for the CAE and similar exams. Thank you for the fancy words, tips, and related. I will most definitely keep watching your videos (like this one) since I'm writing a novel for fun. Thank you!
Congratulations! 👏👏👏 You should be very proud of yourself!
Good to know you're going to keep watching my videos 🙂
Congrats on your work as a Teacher Ben, I first meet you on a podcast with Craig, which was an amazing podcast, and from that moment I've often been watching your videos on youtube. Your English pronunciation is very clear, and your video lessons are enjoyable. There is a lot of different content that fits all student's levels. I should say that your work has been helping a lot of learners around the world. Greetings from South America, Brazil.
Thanks for your lovely comment, Erasmo. I'm glad you like my videos 🙂
It was the time when I didn't know about English grammar.One day, my friend Farhan recommended me to watch sir Ben for competitive exam preparation. When I had started watching you, I saw changes in it. However I need more help from you to improve it.kindly check these sentences and mentioned my mistakes.
Hello, Ben! Thank you so much for all of your amazing videos. I have just received my C1 Advanced Certificate ❤️
If only I would have stumbled upon this video a few days ago. It would have been so helpful to have all this fixed in my mind today when I started telling one of my classmates about my athletic "history". I felt quite embarrassed by my explanations since I was talking to an exchange student from the U.S.A. However, I still managed to get my idea across. Thank you so much for this video, Ben! Really helpful! I am glad I watched it now! It is never to late.👍 Moreover, I am also preparing for the CAE exam so, since this is my first comment here, I just want you to know how relevant your videos are! Thank you once again! 🙏
Thank you, I appreciate it 🙂
It's great to see the text with diferent colours for the verb tenses and the arrow to explain verbal tenses is always key. One little thing: you probably meant 'to earn some money' . On the screen it reads 'to earn to money'. All the best.
Thanks for the great knowledge sir
I had just watched one of your old videos this afternoon but was looking forward to a new one. I had been waiting for a while and it never seemed to come. So I decided to go out with some friends. As soon as I left home, I received the expected notification, but it wasn't until I got back that I was able to enjoy it. Nice learning with you, Ben. Thank you so much! 🤗
Nice use of the narrative tenses, Cristina! 👏👏👏
When i was 17 i always dreamed of what would happen if i would learn how to tell a story so i decided to search for a vedio in order to learn i was seaching for 10 minutes and found this vedio which i had been searching for more than 4 months and now i feel like a millionaire because i am able to tell a story confidently with no fear of making mistake
Added . thanks a million great teacher
Great lesson! Thank you, Ben! 👍
Glad you liked it 🙂
I love your videos dear Ben ❤ Thanks a million😍😍😍
You're welcome... I'm glad you like them 🙂
😂 I had a good laugh with your year trip to Australia ending in Torremolinos!
Great,Ben 👌 Your video “arrives” exactly just in time, as I have been reading during 4 or 5 months 🧐with repetitions, novels of Jane Austen “Northanger Abbey” and “Pride and Prejudice”. This is my so-called preparation to soon CPE exam. Especially after I read last year that the writing part may consist of tasks related to one of this novel
That's right. Northanger Abbey is one of the set text options. 👍
Thank you for this lovely videos, could you also make a video Tense-shifting, as when a native speaker tells a story, they go back and forth between all the past and present tense and its forms while telling a story as it gives a dramatic or immediacy effect. 🙏🙏
Tanks for this videos, really you helped me
Happy to help
Wow, Thanks a million! This is what I need to learn. You're second to none!
Glad I could help!
Simple explanation , but helped me so much. Thanks
This diagram illustrates some tenses in a very nice way, great job. I've been learning English for some time now but I'm still making some mistakes when it comes to English tenses.
Keep practising... You'll get there!
This video is extremely useful. I was researching for tense sequence usage in different medium, eg news, story, business report. This video enlightened me. Can you do a video on the tenses for news? Thank you
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching 🙂
Amazing video. Kudos master!
Awesome .. thanks
this video is priceless, thanks you so much
As an English learner, This is kind a video i have been looking for, you know to identifying tenses on story, news or article. I thank you for providing this kind of information. But i want to fully grasp english by learning english stories, therefore, May i ask you is there any other of your videos that could show more? I mean a story that could identify most of the grammar not only past, present and future tense but you know like gerunds, passive voice, if clause etc? Sorry, i think i am asking to much but i should ask anyway just maybe you have what i have been looking for years, thank you Mr. Ben. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you for this explanation.
You are speaking very well,I hope speak English very well 😢
Thank you very much for your anecdotes Ben They are very effective and natural are just spot on for students mastering English tense system Thanks I have learnt something through your video
I'm glad you found the video useful 🙂
Yes it is ne of my main difficulties in English It is always good to revise and make examples of yout own
Thanks a lot, Ben! That's great ☺️
My pleasure!
Thanks a lot for the really useful lesson; I found the visual part (diagram/time line) particularly effective. Pleased to have found your enlightning channel by chance
Glad it was helpful!
I love your lessons.
My wife is English, my son was born in England 🇬🇧 I'm sure he's English will be better than mine 😁. But I'm working on my proficiency level to be able to express myself fluently. I want to achieve c1 level 😍
You are the best!
Very good Explanation
Super!!! This helped me a lot 🤗
Thanks Teacher ❤ Respect🙏
Hi Ben! Maybe I’m wrong but my impression is that you have a special way of pronouncing the group of consonants ‘str’ in ‘Australia’ 4:54 . I checked ‘Australian’ on several online dictionaries and found out a number of nuances, starting from a distinctive ‘AUSH-tralian’ on the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary all the way down to a softer pronunciation of the same word on other websites. What do you think of this? 😉🍀Thank you so much Ben! 🌸😅
I don't think my pronunciation of Australia is special 🙂 Just standard southern British English. Different accents will have different pronunciations
Hello Ben, great grammar lesson! Is it possible to choose a story in first for school, isn't it?
Hi Turi. No, there is no specific story writing task in the Cambridge exams. But, maybe you're referring to the set text options in part 2 of the writing paper?
@@tothepointenglishwithben. Yes I am
thanks for your videos they are very helpful😊
Glad you like them!
@@tothepointenglishwithben. I am into C1 so I just hope to reach my goal 😀
❤
Thank you
👏👏👏👏👏
I’m really made up to have found this wonderful video😆
👏👏👏
Why we can't use past continuous instead of the cases in the text past perfect continuous? I scratch my head, because It is still in past. Because he was older than 18, when he had been working or was working. It is so confusing, help me please
thank you.If you have a more spare time,could you load more video
Sure! I upload at least one video a week
merci Jef
Sir you tell me a secret ❤😅
Is that necessary to take B2 before taking C1? is that necessary to take C1 before taking C2 test? please explain these matters. thanks!
No. You can take each exam independently
Gordon freeman if he teached grammar instead of the horrors of black messa
So true bestie
Great 😂
Isn’t it just “saw him in 2009” because we specify the time?
We can use the past simple or past perfect but we can't use the present perfect if we specify a past time.
@@tothepointenglishwithben. Thank you. So in your example the past simple would still be correct?
Do you help me?
When I watch your videos I always repeat your words, not sure if its a good thing or bad lol
Well, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing! 🙂
you didn't use past perfect 😁
I'm pretty sure I did! 🙂
I haven't my English friend so I can't speak English
