No other lesson is needed for someone who studies the use of the verbs tenses and the correct use of them !! So complete , understandable educational and transmitting lesson IS this one !! Thank you Sir !
Thank you very much, sir. Initially, I considered finding a way to obtain a digital transcript of this lesson for studying on devices like a mobile phone or laptop. However, I realized that it wouldn’t be worth seeking shortcuts when you’ve invested so many hours preparing this lesson for us. As language learners, we should avoid the temptation to take shortcuts in our learning journey. Instead, I decided to manually write out every use of the tenses, and I found the experience to be valuable.
Sir very nice guidelines for improving our English speaking as well as writing strength for those who are kin interested to enhance both these angles. It's proud on practice of 100 rules ,our English would be definately become really admirable after teaching of these rules .thanks for your sincere effort and support for common guys.
Thanks! Yes, you can use it for that purpose, too. It's more likely to use it when they don't happen because you then use the past simple to provide the contrast, but equally it is possible to say "I had planned to make a cake, and I was very pleased when my plan worked out!"
Dear Rupert, I followed the first part closely and enjoyed every explanation! Frankly, I would have used proper grammar most of the time, as I often watch English films with subtitles, especially those with educated language, such as Jane Austen's or the like. ‘Reign’ proved to be a great addition, beautiful scenes and clothes, well chosen actors and high quality language. BUT, although I was often right about the grammar in your examples, I wasn't always clear about the rules behind it. So I'm really looking forward to the next part of your video, for I'm sure I'll have to learn these precious rules! Greetings from Germany and a big thank!
Thanks Barbel! Novels are a great way of expanding your knowledge of both grammar and vocabulary, and a good way of learning how non-fiction writers sometimes play with grammatical rules to achieve certain effects! All the best Rupert 👍
@@EnglishwithRupert Thank you very much! I know what you mean, ‘artistic freedom’ and sometimes the English is outdated. I often have questions on this topic, it interests me immensely. Jane Austen, for example, used ‘handsomest’, or the order of predicate, subject, object in certain places. Or she has one of her characters say: ‘Goodest fellow ever lived.’ I think the latter is an intentional effect, while the other is perhaps oldfashioned?
Respected sir, being undisputedly the greatest grammarian of all time across the globe, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to provide solution to the following two issues that have baffled so many grammarians and teachers -Question No.-1When father reached home, i------(was studying/had been studying) history.Question No.2-The passengers of the bus ------(were sleeping/had been sleeping) when the accident happened.
They can all be used. The Past Continuous shows what is happening at the same time, and the Past Perfect Continuous emphasises the fact that the activity was the last one in progress between a time before the clause starting "when" and the actual time of the same clause.
I am excited to learn about all the grammar "100 Tense Rules". Thank you very much, Teacher Rupert. You never use difficult words. At first I felt uncomfortable and stressed about the grammar rules, but then I started to like it and become more interested in learning more.❤️😊🙏
@@EnglishwithRupert This video is so impressive! This is the English lesson I've been looking for. I have already written in my notebook. For me, it was a priceless birthday present. I was born on August 30th. " I have grey hair. The older I get, the more grateful I became". I once again admire Teacher Rupert.❤️😊🙏
Excellent explanation of the present simple. However one use of the Present Simple that you for got to mention is that the Present Simple is also used in Mathematics. We say 7 plus 2 is 9. We don't say 7 plus 2 will be 9, or was 9 or would be 9. Likewise in describing well established scientific cause and effect relationships we say water freezes at temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and lower.
Thanks for that! I left a small number of the very minor uses of the tenses out. 100 tense rules simply sounded better than 103 tense rules :) But all the main rules are in the video. Thanks for commenting!
This is the best video on RUclips I have ever watched..thanks for making this video sir and I request you to make a video on would with all usages (should be different from other RUclips teachers with more usages in advanced level
Wow - I'm very humbled by your praise 🙏🙏😁😁. I have written videos on "would" in the past, but I agree, it "would" be good to create a video with all meanings in one place!
Hi Rupert, According to the Oxford English dictionary "In" means 'while doing something; while something is happening. Can I use 'In' in the following sentences instead of 'while'? 1)a)I fell asleep (while) watching the Film. b) I fell asleep in watching the Film. 2) a) She burnt her hand (while) cooking dinner. b) She burnt her hand in cooking dinner. 3)a) While swimming in the river, I saw an alligator. b) In swimming in the river, I saw an alligator. Do you think whether 1)b, 2)b and 3)b are grammatically correct?
Hmmm... I'm going to be brave and suggest that definition is not helpful, even if it is in the Oxford dictionary! None of the examples you shared seem natural to me. For these contexts, "by" is a better synonym for "in" e.g. "In swimming the river, she was able to gain a life-changing experience".
I have a video on "Linkers of Contrast" in my catalogue of RUclips videos: ruclips.net/video/c1TEXl01HVs/видео.htmlsi=TcqWZuho1ka2qfm6. Also, if you are interested in essay writing skills, I have a fairly comprehensive course on Udemy which you might find helpful.
Respected Sir, please make video on English word order. For example if we have place, time, currency or date in sentence then how would we make it. We know about basic subject, verb and object. But if a sentence has multiple objects then how should we arrange the word? Please provide some advance and complex examples. Many thanks!
Hello Rupert, You are a Godsend. I'm currently in Masters program and I have been interested in majoring in Applied Linguistics and ESL. I am glad to e-meet you here on YT. How can we connect,please?
Is it a modern trend to use will or would in both parts of conditional sentences? Like in the example that you mentioned : If you will work for me, I'll buy you a new car. It sounds a bit informal and ungrammatical. Can such structures be used in formal speech or writing?
I wouldn't use it for professional writing personally, although that's not to say it's wrong. The use of "will" in this way is limited to when you want to emphasise the condition in the "if" clause, so it can only be used in a small range of situations - however, "if you would" is indeed growing in popularity I think partly because of the politeness aspect of "would" 🙂
@@EnglishwithRupert Thank you for the clarification. Your explanation was very helpful. I've just found another example of will in if part of a sentence : 'We’ll go home now if it will make you feel better.' So something will happen because of possible future actions (in if part). I really need to give it more thought.. :)
Respected sir, being an authority on the English grammar, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to shed some sort of light on the following concept--Question-They reached the station.Then the train left.(Join the sentences using 'When '/'after').My probable answers-(A)When they reached the station, the train left (B) When they had reached the station, the train left (C) The train left when they had reached the station (D) The train left after they reached the station (E) The train left after they had reached the station.Your Majesty Sir, do please let me know which options are grammatically correct and which not.Thanking you in anticipation,
I believe they might all be possible depending upon the sentences immediately before and after, but sentence 3 is unlikely because "when" in the middle of the sentence is likely to introduce another event happening at the same time. As mentioned in the video, we can use the Past Perfect for events in time order to stress the recency of completion of the first activity in relation to the second, which might allow B to be correct if this condition is fulfilled. Apart from this, normal rules for past simple and past perfect apply.
As you are the most humble and earnest student of English grammar that I have ever encountered, I feel obligated to answer your enquiry. Only example D is correct. That sentence makes it clear which event took place first. Example A is grammatically correct, but it's not clear that the train left after. The two events could have happened at the same time.
What about the following situation: my wife asked me for ice coffee, but I forgot and prepared latte for her. When I had brought the latte, she reminded me that she had asked me for ice coffee. I went back to the bar, ordered ice coffee and I wanted to tell the bartender about the situation and a sequence of events that caused me to come back to the bar. Which tense should I use talking about it to the bartender? Simple past, because the sequence of events had happened before I came back to the bar, or present perfect, because the previous described sequence od events caused me to come back to the bar?
I think the rule of thumb is put events into time sequence as much as possible, use the past simple, and only use the past perfect if it makes more sense to provide extra information about something that was relevant to a particular part of the story but that happened before that moment of the story 🙂
@@EnglishwithRupert Thank you for the answer. I've tried many versions and I am almost sure that one of the best versions could be as follows (talking to the bartender I start with Past Simple): "My wife asked me for ice coffee, I came to you to the bar, but I had forgotten what she had asked me for [I have to use Past Perfect], and I ordered latte for her. When I had brought her the latte [Past Perfect again], she reminded me that she had asked me for ice coffee [Past Perfect again], which is why I have come here again [Present Perfect because I am standing at the bar again, and I am talking to the bartender about my mistake] to order ice coffe for her." Reassuming: I start with Past Simple (mixed with Past Perfect because of the sequence of the events), and I use Present Perfect only to say that I have come to the bar again (and I am still standing at the bar). Situation 10 minutes later: Somebody is asking my wife why there is latte and ice coffe on the table. My wife's answer: "Because my wise husband has ordered both for me" [Present Perfect]. Am I right? Thank you in advance for your comment.
That's a very difficult question to answer! When I started writing the video, I was thinking it might be 200 uses, but it quickly became clear that 100 was about right. I think this video has captured the main issues. There are other rules attached to certain words/phrases/clauses that are not in the video, but don't worry - there aren't lots of other hidden rules 🙂😁
@@EnglishwithRupert Rupert thank you so much for take the time, I know you are a really busy man, for sure your channel deserve more than a million of subs.
@GLLG24SJ Man is what? Someone says that it's a dummy of soil, which is true at the end of life. Some say that man is dummy of errors, by saying that they want to hide their error. Man is nothing but simply a bundle of habits. If someone develops good habits through continuous efforts, there is more probability of being successful because, ultimately, man is a bundle of habits. I can write in English; it should also be in Grammarly. That is the only reason I learn English.
If we talk about duration of an event in the past, what is the difference between these two sentences: 'Yesterday we were talking on the phone for two hours'. 'Yesterday we talked on the phone for two hours'
Hi Dee! Although the sentences before and after would be necessary to be completely sure, the difference here is likely to be between a focus on the activity of talking (were talking) and a focus on completion/the result (talked for 2 hours). The meaning is the same, but the emphasis is different.
The sentence "We write to advise you of our new range of cars" could also be written like this: "The reason I am writing is to let you know about some new cars that we are selling" 🙂
Don’t bother to analyse tenses, just learn to speak and understand. Intention is important and linked to cognition not grammar. Besides, it is spontaneous. Grammar is just the ghost in the machine. Learn to run the machine. Not learn it through the ghost.
Research shows that the most effective way to learn a language is to focus on a combination of fluency and accuracy. Immersion is the gas (petrol) in the car, but Grammar is the steering wheel :)
Thanks for your comment! The reality is everyone who can speak English has learnt the grammar - it's just that some are aware they are learning it, and some people (like native speakers) are not 😁
