Description

This course offers an in-depth understanding of tenses, which are essential in the English language for indicating when an action occurs—past, present, or future. Tenses are the foundation of how we express time and can be divided into three main categories: past, present, and future, each with four subtypes: simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous.

The course focuses on the past tense, exploring its various types: past simple, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous. Each type will be explained with detailed descriptions, examples, and guidance on when to use them. Students will also learn about irregular and regular verbs, as well as the difference between stative and active verbs, including scenarios where stative verbs should not be used.

Key differences between tenses, such as the distinction between present perfect tense and past simple tense, will also be covered. Additionally, the course will clarify the role of words like "always," "constantly," "when," and "while" in past continuous sentences.

Students will learn the rules for converting verbs into past tense, the usage of be verbs, and tips for adding “-ing.” Practical sessions will teach how to construct positive, negative, and interrogative sentences in the past tense while avoiding common mistakes. This course equips learners with the tools to master past tense usage confidently and accurately.
