VERB TENSES IN CONVERSATION
(Class limited to 20 students)

Students must know the simple past tenses of most commonly used verbs and must be able to hold a basic conversation in English including expressing likes dislikes, describing self, talking about the weather.

Do you find yourself using the simple present tense all the time? Have you ever wondered whether to use the present perfect or the simple past? Do verb tenses in English drive you crazy and limit your ability to have a conversation?

If you answered yes to even one of the above questions, then this conversation class is for you!

Whether you are at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the doctor’s office or having a casual conversation in English, knowing how to talk about incidents and experiences using the appropriate tenses is very crucial for conversation success.

In this class, through guided conversation activities and games students will learn how to use the verb tenses correctly.

This is a conversation heavy class. While there may be some written practice, the focus will be on speaking. We will start with the simple tenses and work our way up to the perfect forms. Students must be willing to work in and contribute to group activities including creating stories, interviewing classmates and making presentations.
