This ESL ELD grammar poster has everything you need to teach multilingual learners about the present continuous tense! This grammar infograph poster will show students the rules, spelling, use, and other tips!

Creating if-then statements is a common aspect of your mother tongue, and incorporating them into your English discussions can greatly enhance your communication skills. In total, there are four conditionals that you will gradually learn to use, beginning with the most basic ones: the zero and first conditional. Take a glance at this overview to get a general understanding of how all conditionals function and when to apply them.

A sentence with a condition relies on the word 'if'. Conditional sentences consist of two parts - the first part starts with 'if' to depict a potential scenario, while the second part explains the result. Input: "The company experienced a significant decrease in profits due to the economic downturn."

Paraphrased: "The economic downturn led to a large decrease in profits for the company."

If it starts raining, we will become soaked.

The meaning remains the same even when the two parts are switched.

Check out this practical ebook guide to find out how the conditionals are form, when and how they are used, and plenty of practice for your students.

This consice ebook is about the Present Perfect tense. It is one of the tenses that cause most difficulties to English language learners, both because of its formation and because of its usage.

The formation is tricky because it involves a modal verb and the past participle of the main verb. The usage is not as clearcut as other tenses in English, since it refers to an action that has started in the past, but its effects are still visible in the present. Hence, many students consider the Present Perfect tense to be a past tense and confuse it with the Simple Past tense. However, as its name suggests, the Present Perfect is a present tense.

Read on to find out how this tense is formed and when it is used. At the end of the book there are some very useful practice activities to consolidate your students' knowledge, and the relevant answer key.

This is the second ebook from the highly successful Practical English Grammar series.

The Present Continuous Tense is probably the most commonly used tense in English. It is used to describe an action that is happening now, at the moment of speaking, and it is therefore one of the first tenses that young students learn, as it is very easy to understand. It is also called Present Progressive.

The first part of the ebook focuses on theory: the correct formation and usage of the Present Continuous tense, followed by examples.

The second part of the ebook contains exercises that will help your students practise and consolidate their knowledge of the tense.

Finally, there is the key to the activities, which makes the book ideal for both classroom use and self study as well.

We hope that both you and your students will enjoy teaching and learning about the Present Continuous tense.

This is the first book of the Practical English Grammar series, on the Simple Present Tense.

Understanding and using the Simple Present correctly is essential for clear and effective communication in English. The Simple Present tense is one of the most fundamental tenses in English grammar. It is primarily used to describe habitual actions, general truths, and fixed arrangements.

This book contains all the uses of the Simple Present tense, along with examples. They are followed by formation rules, and also some activities. You can use these activities in your class to teach or reinforce the use of the Simple Present Tense.

It is one of the most widely used tenses of the English language, and it is very easy to use and to teach. Even younger students can easily master it and use it in no time. We hope you enjoy teaching the Simple Present Tense to your students.

This ebook provides essential information about the Past Perfect Tense, its formation and usage. We use the past perfect to talk about the past, but not just any situation in the past; we use the Past Perfect when we're talking about two events that happened in the past and when one event happened before the other event. So it helps you to order the actions in your story. Think about the Past Perfect as helping us to create a timeline.

If your students have mastered the Present Perfect tense as they should, it will be easy for them to form the Past Perfect as well. We create the Past Perfect by using the verb 'had' the auxiliary verb 'had', followed by our main verb in past participle form.

Students usually confuse the Past Perfect and use the Simple Past instead. Hopefully, this ebook will help them clarify these two distinctive tenses.

The Past Continuous Tense is essential in communicating in English. It provides clarity and depth to descriptions of past events. It establishes the background, highlights the atmosphere, and illustrates interrupted actions.

This tense is also useful for describing parallel actions, and multiple events that happen simultaneously. In narratives, it establishes the background, adds nuance to storytelling, and allows speakers and writers to convey the progression and interaction of past actions with greater precision and detail.

Overall, the past continuous tense enriches communication in English.

This practical ebook contains all the essential information on the Past Continuous Tense. You will find details about its formation and all the various cases when it is used.

Finally, there are 20 exercises, so that your students will practise and familiarize themselves with the Past Continuous Tense, and of course the relevant answer key to the activities.

Enjoy teaching the Past Continuous Tense to your students!

We use the Past Perfect Continuous tense, also referred to as the Past Perfect Progressive tense, to describe an action that started some time in the past and continued until another point in the past.

In our daily lives, we frequently employ the past perfect continuous tense. However, there are instances when we use it improperly. In essence, this tense conveys the "past in the past." You will thus learn about the composition and application of the Past Perfect Continuous tense from this page. It will make learning about it easier and more detailed. You will then be given questions to answer in order to assess your comprehension of this tense.

This ebook contains all the information you need about the Past Perfect Continuous tense, including usage, formation, examples, and meaning. There are also extensive exercises and the relevant answer key in the end. We hope you enjoy teaching it to your students!

Reported Speech, also known as Indirect Speech, is an important part of conversational English because it requires repeating someone else's words.

English language students need to learn and practice the Reported Speech, since it is used in various situations to convey information or repeat someone else's words. This ebook will focus only on instances where the reporting verb is in past tense (such as said, told, etc.), necessitating a shift to past tense in the reported clause for practical reasons. For example: 'I am going to the super market' becomes 'He said that he was going to the super market'. It is also possible to report someone's words in the present without any tense change. For example: 'He says he is going to the super market'.

This ebook can help students learn how to use Reported Speech, understand its purpose, and practice through various interactive exercises. The solutions are given towards the conclusion of the book.

What are Irregular Verbs?

Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the standard rules of conjugation in English. Unlike regular verbs, which form the past simple and past participle by adding “-ed” (e.g., walk -> walked), irregular verbs change in unique ways.

Why Do We Use Irregular Verbs?

Irregular verbs are deeply rooted in the English language, often because of their origins in Old English or other Germanic languages. They are commonly used, and knowing them helps speakers sound more fluent and natural.

Irregular Verb Forms

In English, verbs can have three main forms:

• Base Form: The root form of the verb (e.g., go, see, buy)
• Past Simple: The form used for past events (e.g., went, saw, bought)
• Past Participle: The form used in perfect tenses and the passive voice (e.g., gone, seen, bought)

Understanding these forms is essential for forming correct sentences in past and perfect tenses. This ebook will help you and your students with that.

The Present Perfect Continuous tense is a unique case and poses certain difficulties for English language learners. It is unique in the sense that it has an easy aspect and a difficult aspect.

The difficult aspect is its formation. It needs the auxiliary verb 'to have' in its perfect form plus the main verb in its continuous form. This is too complicated for most students, and they usually struggle to get it right.

On the other hand, the easy aspect is its usage. It is used in very specific situations that connect the past with the present, and almost always with specific time expressions like 'for' and 'since'. Hence it is virtually impossible to mix it up with another tense.

This ebook offers clear explanations about both the formation and the usage of the Present Perfect Continuous tense, along with examples. Students who master them can move on to the activities at the end of the book.

At first, passive voice might appear complex, but once you get acquainted with it, the fundamental structures stay the same. The ability to switch between passive and active voices is beneficial for intermediate to advanced English learners as it can prevent miscommunications, boost politeness, and enhance language abilities. This is a detailed explanation of the occasions where the passive voice should be used in the English language.

Passive voice emphasizes the recipient of the action rather than the doer (agent) of the action. The passive voice is created by us using:

The action was received by the object (by the doer of the action).

Incorporating the part related to the agent (by + person who performed the action) is not mandatory and varies based on the situation. The aim of using passive voice is to highlight the action rather than the agent, therefore including information about the agent could be redundant or stating the obvious.

This in-depth manual details the formation and usage of the Passive Voice, including numerous examples and practice exercises. The answer key can be located at the conclusion of the book.

Enhance your students' understanding of the Present Simple tense with this resource.

A solid command of verb tenses is necessary for effective communication in English. However, why do verb tenses matter so much in English?

One cannot accurately convey their meaning if the past, present, and future are not used appropriately. The verb's indicated time of action is indicated by the tense.

The primary tense in English for discussing the past is the simple past tense. Although its meaning is fairly clear-cut and easy, language learners may find it challenging to form. The primary challenge is the abundance of irregular verbs in the Simple Past Tense. All of these verbs must be learnt by heart by the students.

Use this ebook to teach your students about the Simple Past Tense. You can teach them how the tense is formed correctly, when it is used, and most importantly, how not to confuse it with other past tenses of the English language. Happy teaching!
