- Hello, I'm Julian Northbrook
from DoingEnglish.com.

Oscar asks, "Hi Julian,
what a great voice!

"like running errands,
doing chores, et cetera,

"how many tenses do you think
native speakers of English use

The frequency distribution
of different kinds of words

and chunks is something that I talk about

quite a lot in my book,
Master English FAST:

An Uncommon Guide To Speaking
Extraordinary English.

What I don't talk about
in that book, however,

and which Oscar will know
because Oscar has the book,

There are only actually
three tenses in English,

and technically, only
two grammatical tenses

by which of course I mean
the past and present.

the simple, the progressive, the perfect,

which then, combined with the three tenses

and the findings are
pretty much unanimous.

the simple present usually
accounts for about 60 to 70%

meaning the simple past and the
simple present alone account

in any stretch of spoken
or written English.

but what about the other
10 tense categories?

I made this pretty simple
and extremely rough graph.

that the present simple
accounts for a massive 50%

and the future simple, and
present progressive at 2% each.

And from there, the rest
of the tenses account

right down to the future
perfect progressive,

It's something that I just
threw together quickly

based on the different
research that I looked at.

But it should give you a pretty good idea

as to how the tenses are
distributed throughout English.

Before I move on, let
me just make one point

because I don't want you to misunderstand.

Just because a tense is,
relatively speaking, quite rare,

it doesn't mean that it's not used at all.

and they all have a place
within the English language.

For example, the future
perfect progressive.

of Extraordinary English
Speakers, for three years,

which was an example of the
future perfect progressive.

But in this situation, a very useful one.

The point is the
frequency of the 12 tenses

if you are giving equal time
and attention, or worse,

in traditional English learning classrooms

and giving all of your time and attention

you are probably not being very efficient

Indeed, the way that most
people approach learning English
