We'll begin our examination of all the tenses by first looking at the present tense. There are four present tenses and we'll begin with the present simple tense. It's the most common tense in the English language as it talks about things in general, general facts, routines, habits. Those are usages that we'll look at in a little while but first let's focus on the form of the tense. Here, we've got our subjects 'I', 'you', 'we', 'they' and the base form of the verb followed by the rest of our sentence. Here for the 'he', 'she' and 'it' subjects, we have to conjugate our verb and in this case we've added an '-es' for 'teaches' followed by the rest of our sentence. With subjects 'I', 'you', 'we' and 'they' the pattern stays the same throughout we use the base form of the verb. However, with subjects 'he', 'she' and 'it' we have some patterns for verb conjugations that we need to have a look at.
Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.
This unit showed me how to structure my lessons more and what type of activities to use at each stage. And different methods of staging a lesson especially how to form a boomerang style lesson I would first have an open class discussion and then move onto the activate stage where I would have a active game where the students walk around. In the study stage I would have them invite each other in conversation and then have them complete against each other.The future tense in English is loaded with modal and auxiliary verbs. Introducing these to students will be very important once the students have grasped past participles of regular and irregular verbs. Role playing in the activate stage will be key for getting the students to familiarize themselves with context as context is complex in future tenses, and the variety of forms. There grammar will be made useful and the students can elicit new word usages.
