Course Description
In this course you will practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English with a strong focus on speaking. We will review how to
use five main tenses in English:
1. Past tense
2. Present tense
3. Present Continuous tense
4. Future tense
5. Present Perfect tense
Perfecting the basics is much more important than knowing advanced English grammar. If you can perfect these five basic tenses in English,
you will be able to speak and practice English in everyday life!
Speaking & Listening
Each section contains an explanation of how to make and use each tense. These explanations are meant to be a review of the tense before
the main practice. You should already have a basic understanding of each of these tenses.
Following the explanation are videos with example questions, sentences, and conversations. Use these videos as listening and speaking
practice. Repeat after me in the questions and sentences videos. Speak out loud! This is very important. Active learning is much more
effective than passive learning. Actively practice speaking your English.

This is my favorite tense in English! I know, it sounds strange. But seriously - you can have some REALLY interesting conversations if you know how to use this tense.
Combined with the past tense, you can really have fun and practice A LOT of English if you can use the present perfect tense correctly.

These aren't just questions. These are conversation starters. If you want to practice your PAST tense English speaking, just ask one of these questions to start a
conversation. The first response should be in the PRESENT PERFECT, but every question and answer after that will likely be in the PAST tense. It's so easy! Try it!
26
03:52
Here are sentences to answer present perfect questions correctly. But usually we only use one or two sentences in this tense. Then we switch to using simple PAST tense
to continue the conversation.

Practice speaking with me. I'll ask some questions that you've learned in the previous lessons, and you should answer the questions OUT LOUD as if you and I are having
a conversation. That's right - DON'T repeat after me. ANSWER me! ;-)
There are short pauses after the questions so you can speak the answers. Actually SAY your own responses out loud to the screen. Seriously! This will help you in real
situations where you will use English.
If you can't think of an answer quickly, that's okay - pause the video while you speak your answer out loud. Then continue. You should be able to answer ALL of my
questions naturally. That's your goal!
Watch this video over and over again! Practice speaking English by answering the questions I ask with different answers.
