Welcome to part two of using the wrong tenses. Actually in the previous lesson, we got familiar and we understood less so bronc tenses. In this part we are going to continue actually part one and we are going to give you some examples of wrong tenses used by foreign and English students. And as I told you, it makes lots of travels and communication and in writing. Okay, let's start with number nine. Using Ken instead of could in a subordinate class, so we use can instead of good don't say Ben thought he can win the prize say Ben thought he could win the prize.

Because the first sentence is in the past we should to use cut here. So can changes to could in subordinate clause when the verb in the main clause is in the past simple tense. As I told you, this is a very common mistake made by minister Adams. Using the past simple tense after actually, to infinitive. So don't say he try to kick the ball away. No, no, he say he tried to kick the ball away.

Okay? This is a correct way. So don't use the simple past tense after to never never make this mistake. Using the past simple tense after an auxiliary verb instead of the past participle. This is a very important point. So don't say I forgot to bring My book No, this is wrong.

We should say I've forgotten to bring my book have has plus pp. Number 12. Using master or art to to express a past obligation. So we use master Otto to express the past obligation. So don't say you ought to come yesterday. No, no, no.

We should say you ought to have come yesterday. Okay, you ought to have come yesterday. Or you should have come yesterday you should have come. When we say very fast you should have come yesterday. When we express past obligation. Don't use mast and our two as past tenses to express a past duty, which wasn't done.

Use the present infinitive without to after our two or Should to express actually for expressions such as had to was obliged to okay next one is number 13 using the present perfect instead of the simple past and this is the mistake that actually many students make when they speak English so don't say I have seen a good film yesterday no this is wrong guys don't say this. I should say I saw a film yesterday because we speak about something in the past something finished. So use the simple past tense and not the present perfect for an action completed in the past at the star at this data time. Okay, so when we when we speak about something that finished in the past, we use simple present tense not present perfect and this is a actual A very common mistake and error using the simple past tense instead of the present perfect.

So don't say I saw the Perignon a thumbs. No this is wrong say I have seen the Parthenon of a thumbs, okay. If we are speaking of the result of the past action rather than the action, we must use the present perfect tense. When somebody says I have seen Parthenon, he or she is not thinking so much of the past act of seeing It's okay. You must understand this very important point. Number 15 using the simple past tense with the recent action instead of the present perfect so don't say the clock's truck.

The clock struck you should say that clock has struck. If we're speaking of an action just finished just finished, we must use the present perfect pneus of the simple past tense. For example, immediately after the clock strikes, we shouldn't say The clock struck but the clock has struck. Okay. So here we are speaking of an action just finished and we must use present perfect instead of simple past tense. And this is another very, very common mistake made by many foreign students.

Use the present simple present instead of the present perfect. Don't say I'm at this is cool two years, say I have been at this school, two years. use the present perfect not the simple present for an action begun in the past and continuing into the present. For example I've been at this is cool two years means I'm still here. Okay? Don't make this mistake.

Please try to understand this.
