“The most realistic approach to aide in understanding the English tenses.” – Meg, Amazon review

 

Want to know why we say “I am reading this book now”, but not “I am being happy now”? What about “We’re going to the park” or “We will be going to the park”? “I had been studying” or “I was studying”?

This guide explains these differences and many more – with a detailed look at how the rules for the English tenses are actually used (and abused!) by English speakers in real life.

The English Tenses: Practical Grammar Guide uses a flexible approach to English grammar to explore how native English speakers commonly use each tense, comparing uses. It is designed to help English learners, teachers and speakers alike, to fully understand the structure of our language and its adapted uses. It can be used as an aide alongside core texts, as a reference or a standalone self-study guide. It is available now in paperback and electronic forms from Amazon.
