today we’re going to look at using have
has and had this lesson is broken into
two main parts this week i’m going to
talk about perfect tenses i’m going to
talk about present perfect past perfect
and future perfect and then last i’m
going to talk about have for ownership
and using it in responsibility patterns
so let’s get started there’s a lot to
cover
i’m going to share the lesson and then
i’m going to begin for this week we have
lots of people joining us welcome
everybody from around the world that is
super cool okay shared let’s get going
okay let’s begin with perfect tense so
perfect tense is i think a challenge in
grammar point for many learners some
people i read your comments some people
say there’s no perfect tense in their
language so let’s take a look first at
present perfect tense present perfect
tense present perfect tense is used i’m
going to cover two uses of present
perfect tense in this lesson so for each
use of perfect tense I’ve drawn this
timeline so that you can kind of see
when we use this grammar point first
point number one
on this timeline it’s a little hard to
see on this timeline this point here
this is now the present this direction
is the future and over here the past use
one of present perfect tense is for life
experience a nonspecific point in the
past so it’s hard to see on this
whiteboard but there’s this kind of
dotted blue line in the past here so
this means an action that happened in
the past but when the action happened is
not important or maybe we don’t know
exactly so this is use one of present
perfect use two was present perfect is
for an action that started in the past
and continues to the present or the
effect
of that action continued to the present
so on the board here I’ve shown it with
this red line yeah so here some actions
started in the past and it continues to
the present so we use this with the
progressive form of a verb the ing form
so let’s take a look at some example
sentences oh sorry for her first let’s
look at how we make it how we make it
with have and taz so to make present
perfect tense we’ll start with our
subject so that means like I or you or
we or he or she and so on then we choose
have or has and we finish with the past
participle form of a verb the past
participle form of a verb is something
we have to study we have to study this
this is a special a special verb type
for each verb so when do we use have
when do we use has let’s take a look at
some example sentences so when your
subject is I or you or we we use half as
in this example I have been to Thailand
I have been to Thailand here I’ve used
the verb have this bin is the past
participle form of B so I have been to
Thailand another example she has never
seen that movie she has never seen that
movie here I used has why because the
subject if the subject of the sentence
is she he or it we have to use has this
sentence I’ve used never as well so
point to make this pattern negative you
can use not or never before the past
participle verb what’s the difference
between not and never never is an
emphasis
it’s like saying at no time at no point
in the past did this happen so she has
not seen that movie it’s also correct
she has never seen that movie is
emphasized we’re emphasizing this thing
okay let’s look at another one this one
uses the progressive form he has been
working here for three years so in this
sentence I’ve used the same he has
because my subject is he my past
participle verb is been the verb that
follows is in the progressive form the
next verb progressive means the ing form
he has been working here for three years
so when you use this one number two
meaning number two typically you’ll use
it with an expression like for three
years or since 2001 or something like
that to express when the action started
okay okay one more example and then
we’ll go to past perfect
we have had enough to eat we have had
enough to eat so this one many learners
get confused when the verb is have so
the past participle form of the verb
have is had so we have had enough to eat
that means I’m full I’m done eating so
this is present perfect tense this is
how we use have and has with this
grammar I don’t see any questions but
please feel free to send your questions
in the chat I will try to answer live as
much as possible hey masa yeah cool
I have taken this class for three years
perfect tongue says she has been living
here for three years
great so sorry sally foote this last
week I haven’t been in school very nice
very nice okay let’s continue on to past
perfect now many of you have asked me
about past perfect so I want to spend
some time talking about this point and
future perfect okay so let’s talk about
past perfect again I want to share two
ways that we use past perfect first to
express the earlier of two past actions
so this is helpful when you are talking
about a point in time in your past like
when you were in elementary school or
when you were a university student
something like that you have a past
point in time and you want to talk about
something before that when you want to
do that and clearly show which action
was first like here’s your first action
and here’s your second action
use past perfect to express the earlier
action and simple past tense to express
the action closest to now so for example
I had met him before
you introduced us at the party so this
part I had met him this is past perfect
tense we make past perfect tense with
subject again just like this subject
plus had plus the past participle verb
form I had met him before you introduced
us so this you introduced me and someone
else yeah this happened here you
introduced us at the party but before
that I met him so we express this
relationship with past perfect tense
okay if you have questions just send
them don’t tell me you have a question
just send it in the chat that’s best for
everybody okay the second use of past
perfect tense is continuing past action
something that was continuing in the
past that was interrupted interrupted us
again it’s hard to see here sorry
there’s a dotted red line to the
derivative that goes to here stopped so
interrupted means it was stopped or
changed in some way so uh for example an
example with this will see this with the
progressive form I had been studying it
was hard to see I have been studying for
two hours when my mom called I had been
studying for two hours when my mom
called so points here this part I had
been follows this grammar pattern I had
been past participle verb is been
studying then so in use to of past
perfect this verb the verb after your
past participle form is in the
progressive or the continuous form ing
then we follow it with another pasta
it’s a simple past tense expression this
is very common with this grammar too
when when marks the point of
interruption let’s see some questions
are coming in so these are my last ones
so if you have questions about this
point I will try to check
biron this morning refers to simple past
or present perfect expression it depends
on the sentence this morning alone can
go in many different directions it
depends on your verb so if you say let’s
have a meeting this morning
it could mean in the future or we met
this morning it could mean in the past
so it depends Wow there are lots of
questions coming in in past perfect may
I use I had had yes yes you may
so that’s a that’s a very common
question with this grammar point past
perfect if your verb if you want to use
the verb half the correct sentence is
had had like I had had dinner by the
time I got home is totally correct I
know it sounds strange to repeat that
word like twice but that’s correct
so had had is correct yes yes some other
things how often do people use past
perfect tense its I would say it’s not
as common as like present perfect tense
it’s hard to say how often but I just a
gut my first reaction is that it’s less
commonly used than present perfect tense
it’s still very important to know Andres
is it correct to say I would have been
studied no it is not correct maybe I had
been studying for two hours for example
it depends on what you wanted to say
what is the difference between past
perfect and past simple I have some
videos on the English class 101 YouTube
channel about that question so please do
a search on the channel you can find
some answers there okay mmm alright okay
let’s take one quick break and then
we’ll continue to these future tenses
section alrighty
uh so in case you missed it earlier I
want to share a couple things you can
find for free if you’re watching on
YouTube you can get these from the link
below the video on YouTube if you are
watching on Facebook you can get these
from the link above the video above the
chat box there these are these are
vocabulary and phrases that you can use
to talk about everyday life or just to
work on building your vocabulary so you
can down these are all in PDF form you
can choose whichever topic is
interesting for you so this is
supermarkets this is trouble from this
one is sports an exercise and dining but
it says dining but actually on the back
there’s just food and expressions like
for complimenting people when they cook
so this might be a nice one okie dokie
so please check that out
blue or above the video if you’re
watching on you YouTube Instagram please
check YouTube or Facebook
okay all right let’s go to let’s see a
couple more questions are coming in can
I explain slim
sorry sim says can I explain why I had
been studying for two hours when my mom
called sure I didn’t break that down
very well
did I I did it quickly okay let’s look
at this one again and then we’ll go to
future tense
future perfect this sentence here there
let’s break this into like two parts
okay so I have been studying this part
right here is my past perfect continuous
I had been studying this part expresses
my continuing action in the past I was
doing this thing here for two hours this
tells me how long I continued that
action how long did that action continue
when this word marks where the action
stopped or was interrupted my mom called
this thing is the past tense simple past
tense one-time action that happened so
these are the parts of this sentence
continuing action how long did the
action continue interruption point
action that interrupted me so I hope
that that helps you can I use present
perfect when action was in the past but
there is a connection with the present
yeah so like this for you if the action
if you want to talk about in effect yes
so something happened in the past and it
continues the effect continues yes
please use present perfect okay I’m
going to go to Future Perfect now cuz
this one is a little bit tricky so let’s
look at a future perfect tense now
please
Facebook okay okay my facebook is
wheeled okay let’s continue to Future
Perfect future perfect so again we have
a timeline here this timeline looks very
similar to the present perfect timeline
well it might be a little difficult to
see on your screen but future perfect
let’s talk about two ways that we use
future perfect tense future perfect
number one is for finished life
experience in the future so this is kind
of strange to think about finished life
experience in the future example by this
time next year I will have finished
university by this time next year I will
have finished university so what is
happening in this sentence I have this
future point in time here I’ll change my
marker color so it’s easier to see
here’s my future point in time by this
time next year so what is what now March
end of March so at this time next year
by this time next year I will have
finished University so I’m talking about
some finished life experience that I
expect in the future so that’s kind of
that’s what I’m trying to communicate
with this blue dotted line here it’s in
the future so there’s something I expect
is going to happen at a future point in
time so what is happening in this
sentence
in this sentence let’s focus on this
part I will have finished University we
have our subject then with future
perfect we use will have will have and
the past participle form of the verb
again I will have finished University
when we use this grammar point we
typically use an expression like this by
some point in time by some future point
in time so please let’s be careful of
this I’m going to talk about
prepositions with this grammar point by
shows like a deadline for something so a
deadline for a future action by this
time next year so that means I’m going
to do many things until this time next
year at which point I will have finished
University ole on Facebook says next
year I will have finished my school
excellent that is very cool ok on to
another example sentence let’s look at a
weather example sentence a weather
example sentence it will have stopped
raining by tomorrow it will have stopped
raining by tomorrow when we talk about
the weather we usually use it yeah like
it’s sunny or it’s cloudy or it’s
raining when we want to talk about a
prediction for the weather future
prediction it will have stopped stopped
is the past participle form of the verb
so I’m talking about this future
experience with this grammar point you
could say like it will stop raining by
tomorrow the difference there it will
stop raining tomorrow is like that
sentence is like a prediction like a
guess this is kind of more like an
expectation like you’re talking about
something a little more concrete you’re
kind of
sure okay one more we will not have
saved enough money to buy a house by
next year so this is long and it’s
negative so let’s break this one down
mmm so first let’s look at these two
parts by next year first at the end of
the sentence marks the deadline so when
is this going to happen when is our
deadline so it’s by next year
that’s first that’s our time period we
will not have saved so here I’m using
the negative form of this grammar point
so maybe another way to say this
sentence is by this by next year I don’t
think I am going to have enough money to
buy a house that’s what this sort of
means but it’s more like worse we’re
kind of confident about this at this
future point in time we will not have
saved enough money to buy a house okay
some other questions is it necessary to
use by tomorrow or only tomorrow with
this grammar point generally there’s
some deadline like by future point in
time so typically we see buy used when
you’re using use one we typically use
buy to mark a point in time I want to
continue to the next preposition point
about this though let’s look at the
second use of this second use of this
again I’ve marked this in red is kind of
hard to see it’s an action that will be
continuing in the future that means this
action isn’t continuing now or maybe
maybe it started recently but in the
future at a future point in time
you want to talk about a continuing
action we do that with future perfect
examples in spring of 2022 I will have
been working at this company for ten
years so again this has two parts here’s
my time period my future time period in
spring of 2022 so that’s the time period
I want to talk about then I will have
been working so again with point two
we’re using the progressive form of the
verb after the past participle I will
have been working so using this future
perfect shows I continued working
working working and I’m going to
continue working I will have been
working at this company for 10 years so
again this is another point here we
commonly talk about the total time
period with an expression like for
duration for 10 years for 8 hours
whatever
so again future time period continuing
action how long was the continuing
action or how long is the continuing
action let’s look at another example of
this this is a tricky point I know in
August he will have been living in
France for 3 months so again we have
these same parts to the sentence
in August he will have been living
progressive form here marks this future
expectation something we expect to
continue in the future
how long for three months is the total
time so maybe you can see then to in
this case we’re using in and it’s very
common to use in for these progressive
form patterns yeah okay last one when
she finishes her thesis when she
finishes her thesis she will have been
studying for 18 years okay so this one’s
a little different
there’s no in at the beginning of this
sentence but we still have all the
information when she finishes her thesis
so this is marking like kind of the
endpoint we can do this with this
grammar too we can mark kind of the end
points the expected end point for a
continuing action with when when she
finishes please note this when she
finishes this is in the present tense
when she finishes her thesis she will
have been studying for 18 years so how
long was the total time 18 years so at
this point when she finishes her thesis
she will have been studying so these are
the two uses of future perfect tense
this one’s a little tricky I wanted to
introduce it quickly here I think there
is some videos on the YouTube channel
about this grammar point there are
definitely videos on the channel about
these two so this is the hard the hard
part of the lesson is over so I hope
that it was helpful for you some
questions
Arzu on facebook says how often do you
do natives use future perfect in regular
life again simple it’s hard to say
exactly I would say less often than past
perfect tense but this is a this is
something that we use when we are making
plans
the future this can be at work it could
be like vacation plans it could be
social plans we talk we use it when
we’re making schedules and so on so you
of course it’s still very important to
study this grammar point in the last
example why didn’t you use will I did
use will she will have been studying so
we always use will with the future
perfect tense she will have been
studying for 18 years
okay I don’t see other questions yet
okay long time for thesis yes I said 18
years to mean from like elementary
school to like a master’s degree or
something I think master’s degree is
what I chose okay let’s take one more
break well let’s stick one more break
and then I’ll finish the last points the
last points are easier so you can relax
a bit I’ll show you some things I
haven’t shown you so far today some
other PDFs that you can pick up are

hard to see just click on the link or
above or below the video and you can
just check and download the ones that
you
this is free okay let’s go to the last
part of our lesson today if you’re just
joining us
today’s topic is how to use hub has and
had so I’ve covered perfect tenses now
I’m going to talk about ownership and
responsibilities so this will be
something I think beginners know a bit
about oh he dokie so let’s go to that
and then we’ll finish up send your
questions of course I will try to I will
try to check everything in as much as
possible so let’s take a look
ownership when we want to talk about
something we own like this like I have
this marker I have this paper we use
half to do that depending on the subject
again if your subject is I or you or we
please use half I have heat ha sorry you
have we have if your subject is he she
or it
please use has follow it with your
object examples I have time to talk I
have time to talk
if this subject is he she or it has she
has two pets so this is my object after
the verb is my object
he doesn’t have a job to make your
sentence negative
please use do not or does not I do not
have he does not have to reduce it
doesn’t or don’t if your subject is I so
we use this for ownership in the present
form so this is present form let’s look
at using had here if you want to talk
about the past
something you owned in the past used had
the subject does not matter here I had
he had she had use had for everything I
had a nice lunch or he had a dog when he
was a kid so please use had to express
ownership in the past
final point for today is
responsibilities responsibilities I
think many of you know have to or has to
subject has to something so in this
sentence or in this pattern please use
the infinitive form of the verb
infinitive form is the dictionary form
the type you see when you check the
dictionary so subject has infinitive
verb our sorry has to infinitive verb
for example I have to work if your
subject is I you week I have to work
infinitive form last ones she has to go
to the bank we don’t have to leave yet
to make it negative again do not or does
not please follow the same rules
in terms of the negative form lastly for
past responsibilities again just use had
but add to subject had to infinitive
verb sorry I had to leave early or he
had to run for the train so we’re
talking about responsibilities here had
for the past I have to or has to for the
present I have to finish the live stream
so I will end it there grammar is very
complicated yes I know but it’s exciting
because grammar rules don’t change so
just learn the grammar and then you can
focus on vocabulary yeah okay I have to
finish there so thank you very much for
joining us in this week’s lesson there
