  • Why are you telling me? (Using "will be doing" correctly!)
    May 30 2022

    In our journey of looking at the tenses in English grammar with examples, I am going to help you with another question: What is the difference between "I will do something" and "I will be doing something"? Are "I'll arrive at 10" and "I'll be arriving at 10" different? Yes! You use "will be doing" in very specific cases, and it can improve your communication significantly. 

    If you have about 10 minutes, you can find out!

  • Did you meet? (Past simple, past continuous and past perfect)
    May 16 2022

    Today we are working on three tenses in English grammar with examples: Past simple, past continuous, and past perfect. Why? So that we can understand what happened first and what happened later.

    We talked about using past simple and past continuous in episode 8 of season 1 and in this episode we are going to compare them with past perfect.

    (If you haven’t listened to it yet or haven’t practiced, that’s ok; we will do a little review today.  But going back to season one is a great idea to help you remember and speak fluently)

  • Is it annoying? (Using present continuous for habits)
    May 2 2022

    In this episode, I'm going to help you use two tenses in English grammar with examples:  present continuous for habits and present simple for habits. If you use them wrong, you might hurt someone's feelings or cause misunderstandings. 

    We talked about present simple for habits and regular actions and events in season 1, and today we are learning more interesting things about how to use both correctly.

    (If you haven't listened to it yet or haven't practiced, that's ok; we will do a little review today.  But going back to season one is a great idea to help you remember and speak fluently)
