Hello, welcome to Part Number Four of using the wrong tenses. I guess we have learned lots of mistakes and errors made by English students. But this is the last part we are going to focus on some more important mistakes and errors that are very common. And I'm trying to save you from these problems and mistakes that you sometimes make where you communicate with other English people, Native people or when you write something in English. Okay, let's start with number 25. Using the future in the class of time instead of the present tense.

Don't say I'll see you when I shall come back. This is wrong. Say, I'll see you when I come back. Very simply. I'll see you when I come back. If the verb In the main clause is in the future, the verb in the time clause must be in the present tense.

As I said, I'll see you when I come back. Understand, perfect 26 using the future in the if clause instead of the present tense. This is another mistake that students make. Don't say if he'll ask me, I will or I will stay. This is wrong say, if he asks me, I will stay. If he asks me I will stay.

Use the present tense in the in the future conditional in the if clause and the future tense in the main clause. But the future tense may be used in an if clause expressing a request if you will, if you will. Give me some money, I will buy you a drink. Okay, number 27 using the present tense after as if or as though instead of the past, as if or as though so, we should use present tense so don't say Jan talks as if she knows everything you should say, Jan talks as if she knew everything. So, it can see we should not use present tense here. So, use the past tense after the phrase as if or as though he talks as if he knew everything means he talks as he would talk if he knew everything.

Use their subjective where with the verb to be after as if like He act as if he were a rich man. We use were here because we speak as we speak about something imaginary something that doesn't exist. So it's a kind of hypothesis. Number 28 using the past conditional of wish instead of the present indicator, this is another mistake many students make. Don't say I would wish to know more English No, no, no, this is wrong say, I wish I knew more English. I wish that I knew more English.

So use the present tense of ways to express a present meaning followed by that clause containing get past tense. Do not forget this point. Next part 29 using the wrong tense with them Improbable condition. For example, don't say if he would ask me I would stay. Now say if he asked me, I, or I would say, if he asked me, I would stay. So express an improbable conditioned by the past terms and use the conditional in the main clause.

This use of past tense doesn't indicate a time but degree of probability number 30. Using a wrong tense with the counterfactual condition, don't say if he would, or he'd have asked me I would, or I'd stay. Now say, if he had asked me I would have stayed if he had asked my What up state experts a counterfactual that didn't happen condition by The past perfect and use the past conditional in the main clause. This use of past perfect doesn't indicate a time but an impossible happening. Keep it in your mind and try to understand this point. These common mistake number 31, using the infinitive instead of a finit verb, don't say Sarah, to go home to get my book.

Say Sarah, may I go home to get my book. So the infinitive simply names an action without reference to present sorry to person number or time. Therefore, it can't make sense without the help of affinity verb. Number 32. mixing up the tenses don't say they asked him to be kept But he refuses. say they asked him to be captain, but he refused. If you began with a verb referring to pastime keep the verb forms in the past.

The same rule applies to tenses throughout a composition
