Alessandro Danielli from Brazil hi Antonia Ola hi everybody thanks for coming okay everyone is here so let's get started I'm going to begin if you missed it today I am going to talk about basic verb conjugation I'm going to start speaking more slowly now to today I'm going to talk about basic verb conjugation so conjugation means how we change verbs how we how we make the different forms of verbs so I'm going to talk today about simple present tense and simple past tense we're going to practice making these verb forms and some very simple sentences with these verbs so this is a very good lesson for beginners I'm going to talk about one how we make positive sentences to how we make what positive sentences with present tense and then we'll talk about past tense and then at the end of today's lesson I'm going to cover negative forms and question forms so these are the three parts for today's lesson oh okay let's get into it first we are going to talk about simple present tense simple present tense I will get a little closer so that everybody can see I heard last week I heard it's a little small so I will do my best to share okay so first a little grammar review what is simple present tense simple present tense bullet point number one this is when we should use simple present tense I'll go over here so when should we use simple present tense we use simple present tense to share facts so a fact here a fact is information that is always true so some examples I speak English you speak English I could see you in the chat or she sings well so these are simple facts like the information is always true it's just general information that does not change point two we use simple present tense to describe regular schedules so for example something that happens every week or every month or every year or at a specific time every day so for example class starts at 11:00 or he always arrives sorry small he always arrives at 2:00 so these are examples of regular schedules things that are just like everyday they happen at the same time for every week so these are the two times that we use this grammar point simple present tense so let's talk about this point here how to make a simple present tense what are the rules for changing our verbs for conjugating the verbs we need to think about the subject so the subject of a sentence is for example in these sentences the person doing something the person acting so for example in I speak English the subject is I or and she sings well the subject is she so what's important it's really important to change this verb to conjugate this verb is this subject of the sentence so if the subject is I or you or we or they there is no change to your verb so you can see here I speak English speak is the basic form of the verb like when I say basic form of the verb I mean the dictionary form of the verb so this does not change so when you use one of these I you we are they as your subject note change for example some more examples I eat or you talk or we work or they run so these are all the basic forms of the verb we don't have to change them if however the subject is he or she or it add s so hard to see this is an S add s to the end of your verb so I say add s here because when you're speaking when you're speaking this is pretty easy yeah like just just to make an S sound at the end of your verb for example he eats or she talks or it works or he runs so this is good to do like we don't have to think about of course spelling when we're speaking but it is important to remember some spelling rules when you are writing mmm so let's review our spelling rules for this point if your subject is he she or it sue first for a verb ending in Y the letter Y we need to spell the S sound with i.e s IE s for example try becomes tries or copy becomes copies hmm so in both of these the sound doesn't change sometimes I hear sometimes I hear learners use like he try ease or true Trier's or something like that so the verb the sound try stays the same and we add an S sound to it so where does that he just tries or copies so you don't need to change the sound of the base verb just add an S to that okay so this is for a verb ending in Y but if if there is a vowel before the Y you don't need to worry about this so what is an example of that let's see so like let's use a verb like play a verb like play the spelling up right the same the spelling of play is PL a y PLA with so if there is a vowel before Y in this case play there's a vowel here before the way we do not follow this spelling rule we just add s so there's nothing there's nothing special here so it becomes plays he plays she plays so this is one spelling rule for this point do verbs ending in ch SH s s or X I'm looking at this point right here now yeah so for a verb ending in v these endings Orcs we need to add yes yes so for example watch becomes watches or push becomes pushes pass becomes passes relax because relaxes so we need to add yes I forgot my yes there so we need to add es oh that's an ugly sorry es for verbs that's even uglier E so we need to add an es hard to write on this we need to add es for verbs with this ending so please keep these spelling rules in mind again we do not pronounce this e watch watch ease I don't know we do not pronounce this e here it's just it's sound watches okay so these are our rules I will put it here so maybe you could take a screen shot if you want okay so these are our rules for making simple present tense verbs how to make simple present tense verbs so again these are for positive sentences for statements I'm going to talk about negative statements and question statements later all right great Wow there are lots of people watching hi everybody watching that's super cool okay so I'll take one short break I will check your questions in the chat some nice example sentences are coming yes please send your example sentences in the chat I will try to check live Cano Jade hello again on YouTube says I don't like her because she always makes excuses perfect perfect perfect someone says oh I thought you should change the Y to IES when you are making plural ah plural spelling changes are a little bit different from today's topic but yes there are absolutely there absolutely is the y - IES change like candy becomes candies yes so that the y spelling rule also comes in there other points can you please answer my first question I don't I don't see your first question I can't see all the questions I'm looking at two chats on Facebook do I see any questions on Facebook where can I see your videos you can see our videos on English class 101 YouTube channel and/or Facebook page you can watch all of the videos that we have available or you can find us at English class 101 dr. comm forum where we have all of our courses okay I don't see other questions so I will do I will share one reminder one more reminder if you missed it there is this banner on

look at that if you would like to start studying with us okay Henry Carillo says what about lie so we can use the same the same rule here yeah the verb lie here I'll put we have one more of our lie L I e here yeah but um this one follows just the basic rule just add s to the end of it he my red marker is not doing good today sorry he lies li es la es lies she lies all right great good okay it sounds like we have present tense good please make a video about subject object questions uh what do you mean subject and object questions I'm not sure what that means okay let's continue to part two if you have not already please make sure to like and share this video so other people can find today's lesson let us continue part 2 today part 2 is about one of them simple past tense simple past tense so again let's review what when we use simple past tense so here's my simple tense sorry guys simple past tense when should we use simple past tense right here use simple past tense for actions that started and ended in the past hmm actions have started and ended in the past so for example I spoke English or she sang well or class started at 11:00 or he arrived at - so these are all simple past tense statements something started for example with this sentence I spoke English it's like in my conversation yesterday I spoke English or I spoke trying to use or whatever or she sang well so at some past performance or class started at 11:00 so again a past situation he arrived at 2:00 again past a situation so these are examples of actions that started and ended in the past I see someone is putting lots and lots of things bra FD can you please just send that question to me on ask Alicia that would be great so that we can use the chat for questions about today's topic so how do we make simple past tense this one is a little tricky so simple present tense we had some pretty solid rules to follow yeah so to make simple past tense we have two groups of verbs to consider regular verbs if the verb is a regular verb add edy to the ending of the verb for example talk he comes work becomes worked watch becomes watched and push becomes pushed so you'll notice - I'm not talking about the pronunciations of these points there is a video on the English class 101 YouTube channel about the pronunciation there are three different pronunciations for these today I'm not going to talk about that but if you want to practice this please check the video on the channel simple past tense verb pronunciation so like talked and worked and pushed they habit or a death and exam okay so this is group 1 add IDI and a small point here is just add D if the verb ends in E so if the verb finished it like if the verb is like for example you don't need to write like edy like e please just write liked lik okay then parts to have a little smiley face here to encourage you this irregular verbs so irregular irregular this is a prefix your irregular means not regular so the opposite of regular verbs yeah an irregular verb for irregular verbs we have to study there is no easy spelling rule for irregular verbs unfortunately this is one thing we just have to practice in English but because we get lots of practice with reading and with listening and so on we can remember these of course through study and just through using the language so some very common examples that I think you know about are 8 which becomes 8 or ran which becomes our site run which becomes ran try becomes tried copy becomes copied so you'll notice here yes I have an IDI ending but we have to think about this why spelling again so please keep this in mind again - hmm same thing here with this try so please keep this in mind okay so please remember that yes we do add these IDI endings for you so I put this here just like for like a spelling note someone's saying like that's not irregular so I put this here just like as a spelling note and so please keep in mind there are different spellings that we need to consider okay so we're going to practice some more down here so past tense verbs I've put this note here because I noticed that there are some people that kind of mix-up present tense and past tense so past tense verbs do not change with the subject so for example like when I talk when I talked about simple present tense I mentioned the subject is important to the verb conjugation in this case though we don't need to change the verb like to match the subject so for example here like my on my first one I had he runs as a simple present tense expression but he ran in past tense so sometimes I see learners put like here and which is not correct so there's no s sound here if your subject is he or she or it so he runs becomes he ran or she speaks becomes she spoke so again no s sound here she spokes is incorrect so no change to the verb just make it simple past it works so again a present tense sentence it worked no s sound there and finally he tries just he tried he tried so again we do not need to add s2 verbs in simple past tense so please be aware of that sometimes yeah sometimes I see people put s at the end of a simple past tense verb but we do not do that that's incorrect for simple past tense expressions please use s for simple present alrighty Sam says what about cut yes cut is another is another example of an irregular verb the verb cut in past tense is cut so the same thing with which I think someone in the chat wrote put earlier put is the same in present tense and in past tense so I know the question is often like how do we know how do we know is it simple past tense is it is the present tense we have to check the context the situation we know from the situation so for example for example to use the verb cut like I cut myself does is that a present tense sentence like we have to think about that present tense remember we use present tense for review review present tense is used for facts and for parts for schedule like regular schedules things we do every week so like a present tense sentence that is I cut myself means like that's something I do regularly like it maybe I'm in the kitchen I don't know that's a very strange situation probably not true for most people I don't know but if I'm if I'm so I'm probably telling a story like oh I was in the kitchen last night and I cut myself oh no we understand from the context from the conversation if it's present tense or past tense could you show again the table of past tense yes sure sure sure I will put this up sorry yeah I forgot to let you guys take a look at this but again this some of you recently requested a list of regular and irregular verbs just google this you can google these and study so again this part the irregular verbs part I've got a couple here that changed completely and then a cup too I've included for the spelling and the spelling note so these do use edy but please note that the spelling does change okay uh let's see someone says what about putted no put it the past tense of foot is put it is the same word the same word so alright in our university for past perfect chance we say an action happen if you have a question that's different from today's topic please send that to the ask Alicia series that would be awesome Jonathan says I've seen learned and learnt for learn are both correct a great question which one is more used so the question is about the verb learn how men my pens are kind of dying is about the verb learn yeah so the answer the past tense of learn I'm sorry learn some people say it's it's learned or it's learnt the difference here comes from the place where the speaker is from so to make it clear for everybody learn is it learn is it learnt what is it learned we use learned in American English so I will always use learned to me that sounds much more or that looks much more common and the pronunciation to me sounds like learned however for British English speakers and I think for Australian English speakers also they say learnt learnt so both are correct but for you please make sure like it's best generally to choose a style of English and use that the same style alright good thanks guys for your questions lies or laces life changer both they are two separate verb to lie and to lay our separate verbs the whole of their topic I have talked about that in ask Alicia I'm like 100% sure so check that out there okay let's take one more quick break and then we'll talk about negative forms and question forms okay so if you missed it there is a 28 percent off sale on our courses at English class 101.com you can get

allowed to have a couple I think I should finish on time was he anyway let's go to the last part and if you have not already please make sure to like and share this video so other people can find today's lesson alright let's go to negative forms negative forms let's go to negative forms negative forms and question arms our last our last topic for today please fleek like an American for one minute I am I I am I am no let's go to negative forms negative forms so this means we're going to talk about like are not sentences so we have simple present to talk about and simple past tense to talk about so how do we make these mmm let's look at simple present tense first I again remember in simple present tense we need to think about this subject of our sentence yeah so if the subject is I you we or they we use do not do not or the contracted form so contracted means short in this reduced form don't plus verb if the subject is he she or it we use does not or the reduced form is doesn't bless harbor so for example I don't speak English or he doesn't sing well Oh No or class does not start at 11:00 so we use these patterns to make a negative in simple present tense now let's compare this I'm checking your comments let's compare it is just simple past to make a negative in simple past we use our subject plus did not or didn't and verb so for example I did not speak English or she did not cook well so these I want to mention a very common mistake I see with this grammar point right here lots of learners use this part that's good and did not or didn't which is great but many learners conjugate this verb they use the past tense form of the verb right here do not change this verb so for example the mistake I commonly hear let's use the verb speak like when I was a child I did not speak Chinese so that's a correct sentence the mistake that I often hear is I did not spoke Chinese that is not correct so when you are using the negative form of a simple past yeah yeah a negatives when you're making a negative simple past sentence do not change this verb this should be the basic dictionary form of the verb okay I am checking your comments about this part right here the negative form and then we'll go on to the last point my mom does not make dinner okay great okay I don't speak Turkish yes good nice negative sentences on Facebook I didn't alfredo says I didn't know about English 101 last year very nice okay hi hi hello to everyone saying hello Oh Sam says I've heard some American saying she don't I know it's wrong yes there are some styles of speaking around the world where the grammar does change a little bit so it depends a bit on the community and the police so like a small place in America might speak a bit differently they might use different words are slightly different grammar depending on the community so this is at the standard standard American English in negative form sometimes people say I ain't so I'm asking what does it mean is it an abbreviation oh I ain't yes this is a very casual one I'll put this here why I memorized I ain't so ain't I ain't what is this I ain't I ain't is a very casual way a very rough way in some groups of people to say I'm I'm not or it can also yeah it can be it can be used to mean a couple different things depending on the situation but I ain't means I am not something generally mm-hmm I ain't generally means I am NOT and of course we can change the subject so like he ain't would be he is not I don't use ain't personally this is a this depend some speakers use this but that's what this means I do not use this personally it's out it feels strange to me to use it because this sounds like a kind of rough word to me okay times go and quick so let's continue to question forms question forms so when I say question forms I mean how do we use these to grammar points to make a question hmm so simple present tense to make a simple present tense question again we need to consider our subject so if the subject is I we are they we have this pattern if the subject is he she or it we have this pattern so here we're using our helping verbs yeah do and does hmm so we can begin our question with a wh question so WH Q means those questions that start with WH for example who what where when they'll start with WH and then we can add do so I put this in parenthesis because it's okay to make a question like this do I do you do we they verb that's fine that's one pattern or what do subject verb so this is a very I think easy to use pattern that you can practice F maybe for your homework to practice making simple present tense question mmm and same thing here we can add a wh question here and then before our subject with he or she or it patterns we use does so what does he do for example or where does she live and so on again when you are making a simple present tense question the verb does not change so when we made statements we added s to the verb in these patterns he lives she sings and so on in the question pattern no change to the firm some nice examples are coming in that's cool what do you want to do good one why does she do that good when when do you do it okay what do you need very interesting questions coming in on Facebook why do you laugh good good I left because I'm having a good time other examples where does he go what dish unit maybe where does she live okay how can I send messages to you in the chat perfect okay let's go to the last point because I am late as usual a simple past tense how do we make questions with simple past tense this is a really good one for you to practice for conversation skill building this is a good one because many times students are like learners they wait for me to ask the question and you need to practice asking the question so here's some more homework for you simple past tense question making again we have a wh question who what where when why plus did + subject + verb so this is nice right we don't have to think about this part i you we they we don't have to think about the subject with a simple past question so like where did he go or who did she see or what did they eat this one is a very like I think easy to use pattern and you can just drop in the different parts of the sentence the key here is did so in present tense we used do and it does past tense we're going to use did note again no verb changes in negative or question forms yeah so again where did he went or something sometimes I hear like you're thinking about simple past which is great a simple past statement but when you make a question do not change this verb where did he went where did he go so please keep this in mind so this I think is some nice homework for you this week there is some good question out here if you want to take a screenshot okay so that is the last point for today's lesson I will look at the chat Wow look at all the chat comments on YouTube how did she do that good question did you decide to stay at home good why did you lie that's really funny to read your questions it's like you're asking me all of these random questions right now on Facebook did you know me Oh interesting question where did she go good where did you go yesterday good what did you do yesterday at night ah yesterday at night make that shorter that was a floor high floor on Facebook what did you do last night what did you do last night okay good question some gossip when do the coronavirus are cool I wonder okay where were you yesterday very nice very nice Oh learn with attrition on YouTube says what is the contracted form of what did you what did you so we're practice of you are practicing what did you bah-bah-bah there's no like official like reduced form like and when I say official I mean like a spelling we use so when we're speaking though it sounds like what did you what or where it's like even even more reduced that sounds like what Jeff in American English what'd you do last night whatcha do for the weekend over the weekend so whatcha is what it sounds like in everyday speech what'd you do last night oh that was a lot that was good that was fun so that is our time for today I am late as usual so I will say goodbye it's time for me to go but I will be back next week what is my topic for next week that's probably a good question next week I will be back as usual I will probably again be live from my home as I am today so thank you again for your understanding next week I forgot what my topic what topic I chose for next week so I am looking for it oh the time many of you have asked me about the time the time for this lesson is 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time that is New York City time so please check that that is Wednesday night I lost my my tracker anyway I will announce
