English Grammar: learning Tenses

Andrew

Instead of learning individual grammatical structures and concepts, look for noticeable PATTERNS.

Recognizing these patterns when working through English material will help you create a 'grammatical intuition.'

Look for things that are common between present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect.

If you understand the concept of the present perfect, grasping the past perfect and future perfect becomes easier.
