Simple Aspect | The parts of speech | Grammar | Khan Academy Video Lecture | Complete Course on English Grammar: Upgrade your Speaking & Listening - Personal Skills

hello grammarians now previously we had
spoken about the just a basic idea of
verb aspect which is kind of like tenses
for tenses and I know that's a little
bland wheels within wheels ridiculous
but will make sense of it what aspect
allows you to do is situate more exactly
your verbs in time so if you're telling
a story you want to indicate when
something happened in that story then
you would use verb tense to indicate
when it happened and the next layer of
complexity after that in terms of being
specific about when stuff happens in
time is aspect but I'm going to teach
you today about the simple aspect which
I don't really need to teach you about
to be frank because you already know
what it is and staring at us this entire
time the simple aspect is really just
the bare tense of whatever conjugation
you choose to do so if you're looking if
you're talking at the present tense
right here so you say I walk that's it
that's simple it doesn't it doesn't
indicate anything else about whether or
not the walking is completed or the
walking is ongoing it's just I walk same
thing with the future I will walk same
thing with the past I walked if it
doesn't have any helper verbs for the
past or the present and the only helper
verb it has for the future is will then
it's simple that's it that's the bare
minimum required to express the idea
using that tense that's the simple
aspect you can learn anything David out
