when two pass actions happen at the same time we do need to use past perfect tense.... Can anybody help me how to identify if the actions are happening simultaneous or not?
This sounds wrong, you wouldn’t ever say “the ambulance reached” you would say “the ambulance arrived” and as a native English speaker I can safely say that we drop “had” all the time. “He died before the ambulance arrived” makes perfect sense and sounds right
@amatullahhamid9239 Yes. The simple past is correct here because of the conjunction 'before'. If the conjunction is 'when', the past perfect is correct if he died before the ambulance arrived. He had died when the ambulance arrived. If we use the simple past with 'when', it means he died at the same time the ambulance arrived. He died when the ambulance arrived. It still makes sense and is not incorrect.
GREAT EXPLANATION! One thing: the verb “reach” has to have a direct object after it. So the sentence needs an object at the end, like “him”, “it”, “the house”, anything! It SEVERELY hinders native speakers’ understanding if it doesn’t.
Both "He died" and "He had died" are grammatically correct, but the choice depends on the specific context. If you are specific about "ambulance's arrival" then had is correct.
If the sentences are uttered sequencially, i.e. in the order they occurred, they can all be in the simple past. If the events aren't narrated in order, that's when you use the past perfect to show what happened first.
Great explanation of the past perfect and the simple past-the former perfect Action (taking the perfect past tense helping verb) and the Event happening later (taking the simple past tense verb) Yes, it is wonderful to understand.
The sentence is grammatically correct, but you could improve clarity by slightly rephrasing it. Here's a more polished version: "He died before the ambulance arrived." This version uses "arrived" instead of "reached," which sounds more natural when talking about an ambulance reaching a location The word "before" tells you which happened first.
You don't need past perfect tense when there is a word like 'before', that indicates, what happened first so we use past simple over past perfect. I also didn't know about it but I saw a British teacher Aga's video on past perfect tense.
Not exactly. "Before" already says which action happened first so the sequence of actions is pretty clear, which is all the point of using the past perfect (to clarify which action in the past happened first).
This might be grammatically correct, but it sounds off to native english speakers because we would never use the word reached in this context. We would more commonly say "he died before the ambulance arrived."
Even though the second sentence is correct, the first one is not wrong imo. Just because you can say something in an other way doesn't mean the first way it is said is wrong For instance : you can say "my father did it before he disapeared" both verbs are conjugated in the simple past but the sentence is not grammaticaly wrong. Same for "he died before the ambulance reched"
1 he died before the ambulance arrived. 2 he had died when ambulance arrived. the above 2 are standard, he had died before ambulance arrived. this is a mixture of the above two, acceptable as well.
I'm a native English speaker and the biggest error in this sentence is actually not adding the word 'him' after ' reached' 'He died before the ambulance reached him' would be much better. If you are not adding 'him', then you would be better to use the word 'arrived' instead - 'he died before the ambulance arrived'. Even English speakers would not add in 'had' because we're lazy and it sounds fine without it and carries the same meaning. There's nothing wrong with saying 'he had died' though, yes this is technically correct. In this case we would most likely use a contraction so that 'he had died' becomes he'd died. Anyway, my point is that no one needs to loose sleep over this, the meaning is exactly the same and there would be no confusion with this statement.
1)My guest had left before the food cooked. 2) The patient had passed away before the doctor arrived. 3) she had eaten up her birthday cake before her friends came. 4) I had come back home before it started raining.
I think you're wrong Correct ward's '' reached'' reach' emphasizes the time or effort spent in the journey while 'arrive' merely refers to ending the journey like plane train

He had although the prayers
@@MidreesSelani i did not get it
Hi
HI
After 20 years, finally understood. Thankyou
😅
Its fucked up 😅
You explained it so well , thanks for this video.
Awesome, amazing & incredible job #bigup
This sounds wrong, you wouldn’t ever say “the ambulance reached” you would say “the ambulance arrived” and as a native English speaker I can safely say that we drop “had” all the time. “He died before the ambulance arrived” makes perfect sense and sounds right
😂😂😂 right 😂😂
I've never heard anyone in my life say a vehicle reached , its alawys either arrive or some other verb.
Who asked tho
thank you so much, I learned a lot 🤍
So it's the right sentence, but it sounds wrong?
Splendid after decades now only I understood
Expecting more videos like this
Please explain more on present perfect tense
Only now
no. now you still know nothing
😅😅
Wow ! More shorts like this please !!
Thanks to teach us in a very mannered way....
A lot of love 💕
But if we are using "Before" in the sentence than it is clear no that what happened first.. why we are using both "had" and "before" in same sentence?
Cause she doesn't know what she's talking about
@amatullahhamid9239
Yes.
The simple past is correct here because of the conjunction 'before'.
If the conjunction is 'when', the past perfect is correct if he died before the ambulance arrived.
He had died when the ambulance arrived.
If we use the simple past with 'when', it means he died at the same time the ambulance arrived.
He died when the ambulance arrived.
It still makes sense and is not incorrect.
so bad
GREAT EXPLANATION!
One thing: the verb “reach” has to have a direct object after it. So the sentence needs an object at the end, like “him”, “it”, “the house”, anything! It SEVERELY hinders native speakers’ understanding if it doesn’t.
yes, you could also replace "reached" with "arrived"
@shinx I was thinking the same
so what can it be without an object?
@@tadios3086 you could say “arrived”. Or another verb that doesn’t need an object. But it can’t be “reached”.
@@brookeworm18 Thank you sir
It is a good explanation, which is simple and clear.
it was a good explanation, it was simple to understand.
"before" can do the work without "had"
Exactly
Yes!
Both "He died" and "He had died" are grammatically correct, but the choice depends on the specific context. If you are specific about "ambulance's arrival" then had is correct.
Though it's grammatical rule, I think the use of had means the killing of time.
If the sentences are uttered sequencially, i.e. in the order they occurred, they can all be in the simple past. If the events aren't narrated in order, that's when you use the past perfect to show what happened first.
Exactly!
Best explanation ever.
Thank you very much I understand it 🎉
Merci, j’apprends, c’est clair et j’arrive à comprendre.
Great explanation of the past perfect and the simple past-the former perfect Action (taking the perfect past tense helping verb) and the Event happening later (taking the simple past tense verb)
Yes, it is wonderful to understand.
The sentence was correct
Very clear explanation. Thank you Mam.
MIND-BLOWING!!!

Plz give clear explanation on whole tense chapter
Plz..would be much helpful

1 he died before the ambulance arrived.
2 he had died when ambulance arrived.
the above 2 are standard,

this is a mixture of the above two, acceptable as well.
Yes!
Simple example to learn grammer..thamp up 👍
Way of teaching is very clear
Your smile lights up my day , Thank you very much my beautiful teacher 💞❤️🥰
Finest way in order to figure out the difference between these tenses.😊
Would you please do more sentences like these in a separate video?
Some one noticed mouse hand 😅😅
Both are correct
Awesome as always, madam ! You are the pedagogue of pedagogues !!
Its not wrong. Whn the action is clear, which one took place frst nd which one followed.
Perfect example,thank you so much❤❤❤
Thank you to make the concept clear.❤
Well, both the sentences are correct. Please refer to Raymond Murphy's book.
Yes! 👍
Thank you Ananya 🎉👍
Thanku so much ❤
I think it's not quite right. For example, I could say: We ate before we left home.
Thanks lady❤
👍👍👍👍

Yes!
By the way, it's 'lose' sleep. Must be a typo, I guess!
Thank you whole heartedly
Tq so much didi ❤
Thank you, we would love to have more content like this.
After many years of schooling I finally understood
😊😊
Thank you ma'am
Actually it is because of "before" . In a a sentence if you see before then add past perfect+before+ past indefinite
thanks for your explanation
Thank you so much 🙏❤
Superb explanation
Nice class ❤❤❤
Great explanation ❤
1)My guest had left before the food cooked.
2) The patient had passed away before the doctor arrived.
3) she had eaten up her birthday cake before her friends came.
4) I had come back home before it started raining.
The bus had gone when I reached the bus stand.
Very good
You are so great ❤
Nice explanation and jawline
Thanks ❤
Good job teacher
Correct English is “before the ambulance arrived” 😂
Nope. Both "reached" and "arrived" are correct.
@@jasper5016 no, reached in this context isn’t correct English however commonly used in India
My thoughts too... its awkward to even hear it.. 😢
In our Grammar Book it is written reached...
I think you're wrong
Correct ward's '' reached''
reach' emphasizes the time or effort spent in the journey while 'arrive' merely refers to ending the journey like plane train
Great explanation!!!
Thanks teacher lovely
I thought it would be like "he died before the ambulance arrived
Thank you...
Wowww, thank you dii for this video❤
