English Lessons 3

Dear Reader,

I would like to share some basic English grammar lessons to improve your English! English is an important languange that you must learn in order to get a job or simply because your dream is to become a traveler.

I, myself had difficulties to communicate with Starbucks barista when I was in London. I understand what they are asking but I could not reply with a good english sentence. There always "uhmm, errrr, aaa".

Today's lessons is all about how to use English Tense. English tense is the most common mistake non-native speaker make. So, let's start!

_________________________________________________________________


Run is an irregular verb, so the conjugation changes.  Each example has the positive or affirmative, negative and the question form.  

There are 17, so happy learning!

The simple present tense:
She runs. She does not run. Does she run?

The present progressive tense:
She is running. She is not running. Is she running?

Let's start!
