Description

Have you ever been confused when using the present perfect simple? Maybe you have asked yourself some of these questions before:Is it "I have just eaten" or "I just ate"? Is it "I have never been to Spain" or "I didn't go to Spain" In this course you will learn not just when and how to structure the present perfect simple, but also how to use it in your everyday speaking. Not only are there easy to understand presentations and quizzes but also audio and video files with over 10 different dialogues so you can practice your speaking! There are 4 sections made up of video, audio files, quizzes and PDF files (presentations). Now, you do not need to know ALL the english grammar to do this course, just the basics. I have made the presentations really easy to follow, helping you study at your own pace. The lowest level of English you need to complete this course is a B1 (lower intermediate level). With over 5 years of experience teaching non-native speakers English, I have been able to see the pain points people deal with most. This grammar section is one of them.  I hope I can also help you build confidence and fluency in your speaking.
