  • How to create the positive, negative, and question forms of the basic English tenses
  • What meaning each verb tense expresses
  • How the tenses compare and how to know which one to use
  • How to create complete sentences using the basic English tenses

Requirements

  • This is a course for learners of English as a second or foreign language
  • Students are familiar with Present Simple, Present Continuous, and Past Simple tenses, but don't have much practice

Description

Who is this course for?

The course is for students of English as a second or foreign language who are at the pre-intermediate or intermediate level, teenagers and adults. They are familiar with the basic tenses but are not sure how to use them well. The lessons can also help anybody who is struggling to understand the English tenses.


What does the course teach?

This is a 10-lesson practical course on the basic English tenses. Each lesson contains:

  • simple and clear explanations

  • lots of examples

  • practical tips

  • exercises

  • answer keys with explanations


What is the content of the course?

In the lessons, I discuss the grammatical form, meaning, and key uses of each tense. The lessons include practice activities. Each lesson is a narrated video of a PowerPoint presentation.

     Lesson 1. Verbs and Tenses

     Lesson 2. Present Simple

     Lesson 3. Present Continuous

     Lesson 4. Present Simple vs. Present Continuous

     Lesson 5. Past Simple

     Lesson 6. Present Perfect

     Lesson 7.  Present Perfect vs. Past Simple

     Lesson 8. My Life So Far

     Lesson 9. Future Forms

     Lesson 10. Review and Practice


How long is the course?

The recording for each lesson is between 6 and 12 minutes long. Only Lesson 9 is 15 minutes long. The practice activities take as much time as the students need: They pause the recording and work on the exercise until they are ready to check the answer key. One lesson might last 20-30 minutes or longer if the student wants to look up words, study the examples, and spend more time on the exercises.

Who this course is for:

  • Young adults and adults who are learning English as a second or foreign language
  • Students who are struggling to understand the English tense system

I have been an English language instructor for 20 years. I specialize in grammar instruction, and I have vast experience teaching reading, writing, and speaking skills. I work with students from Beginner to Advanced levels who are learning English as a second or foreign language.  I have also taught many courses on how to prepare for college entrance tests in English (e.g., TOEFL and SAT) with an excellent success rate of over 90%.

My students are young adults who want to learn English well and professional adults who are learning English in order to improve their career options.

English changed my life. I teach in order to pass on what I have learned, so English can change my students' lives in amazing ways, too.
