Tenses attack! 😓



This class was asynchronous because the professor had problems with his internet connection. It does not mean that we lost the day, he left a bunch of material on the platform about grammar topics. The videos of these topics were explained by native speakers and it is always awesome for me to listen to them.

escuela-de-idiomas-nomadas-english-verb-tenses-usage-ig – Escuela ...The topics to review were: 
-Simple past.
-Past progressive.
-Present perfect.
-Past perfect.
-Past perfect progressive.

We also had to watch 2 videos about the future tenses.

Tenses

We had asynchronous classes this day because the professor had problems with his internet connection. He posted some videos of another teacher explaining the past perfect, the past perfect progressive, the present perfect, the simple past and the past progressive. Also, 2 videos about the future tenses.

WHEN TO USE?
Past progressive
  • To describe actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past.
  • To explain what was in progress before an interruption.
Simple past
  • To describe actions finished in the past.
Present perfect
  • To explain an action that started in the past and continues to the present/future.
  • To describe finished action in the past with an indefinite time. 
Past perfect
  • To show that something happened (a finished action) before something else in the past.
Past perfect progressive
  • To express the past action already started an continue up to another action or time in the past.
I really enjoyed the videos because it was easy to understand what the teacher said. Now, the tenses are more clear but I need to practice them.

Tick tock on the clock, but the party don't stop😩


The party is the semester
Im the piñata

This time we had an asynchronous session. The topics were the verb tenses again because they are THAT important (4real); taught by a native speakers on youtube, it was v cool because I really like having contact with natives asmap!
