Interesting. I'm a native English speaker, and I had no idea our future tense was so complicated. It got my brain tired, but it seems so easy when we do it! Probably because we don't learn them as tenses when we're kids or study them as separate beings. I guess there is some advantage to having your native language be a confusing one, so you don't suffer in learning it. I like how you give the feeling behind each example, and why you might use one phrase, but not another.

Having a Mother tongue(Romanian) with a very definite grammar structure is very hard not to think of "future" as a tense. When you have a structured grammar you always long to look for the analogue structure in the language you're trying to learn 😊

Future *is* a tense. English using extra particles to describe future doesn't change the fact. According to this _technical non-existing future tense_ , tenses don't exist in Chinese at all. But they do.

English is not my first language, but I've learned it organically (games, music, TV shows, etc.), so I wasn't aware of all the rules you mentioned in the video. Still, I followed them naturally because they seemed "obvious" (for no reason). These types of instructional videos only affirm my conviction that English is a complex language to study but an easy language to learn. Complex due to the multitudes of rules and exceptions to those rules, and easy because the amount of content in English is simply endless, so you can completely immerse yourself in the language and force your brain to understand it naturally as if you were a native speaker.

A very nice and comprehensive overview of the "future" in English. Reminds me of the overview in today's text books in Bavarian "Gymnasium". But at the end of those grammar units you can read that the differences between these "variants" aren't that important any more today because most native speakers don't follow the rules anyway ... Just watch any modern film or tv show, especially the difference between will future simple and going-to has mostly disappeared.

Weather.. 😅😅😅 As for future, it's ok to me to call them tenses, because you do make the combination with aspects, so it makes sense to me. In Portuguese we have what we call synthetic and analytic tenses, the first being expressed in endings (morphologically) and the second with auxiliary verbs (syntactically). To me that's what happens in English, your language developed to have an analytical future.. Anyway. Thanks for the video! 😉

In posh RP English 'shall is also used to indicate compulsion. British judges used to condemn prisoners to death with these words: "You shall be hanged by the neck until dead".

@santiagooribe4862 6 ай бұрын

I agree with everything you've explained here. I found the video pretty complete. Some linguists talk about the tenses being "past" and "non-past" (which would include the present and the future). In any case, the most common use of the word "tense" is the one you've mentioned and that's actually the meaning which appears in dictionaries. The distinction between the two different meanings of "tense" makes sense in the context of theoretical linguistics, but it may be a bit obscure or even useless in applied linguistics, as English teaching.
