Step 1 of 10
Welcome: tenses are about time
English has many tenses — but they all answer two simple questions: when did it happen, and how is it connected to now?
In this lesson you'll
- see every tense as a picture on one timeline
- tell finished moments (points) from actions in progress (bars)
- choose between the past simple and the present perfect with confidence
- pick the right future: will, going to or the present continuous
Time: about 50 minutes · You need: a phone or a computer — nothing to install · To move on: do the activity in each step, then go to the next step.
