When we are learning English, we learn about ‘tenses’. The tenses are how we indicate time in different ways. It is how we express if we are speaking about the present, the past, the future. English students learn about each tense seperately. But we don’t get enough practice using the tenses together and speaking naturally.
Practice using different tenses together, in order to take your English to the next level!
