In the e-book T4E, you will find a solution to an age-old problem: teaching or studying tenses effectively. Tenses do not only comprise of the names of the tenses past, perfect and future - it entail how to change a sentence into a question or negative; which question tag to add to a sentence; to change a sentence into a passive and active voice; how to report what someone else had said - reported speech; finally how to express the probability for something to happen - 'if sentences'.

A master of tenses will correctly combine the verbs, auxiliary verbs (helping verbs) and time words, thus providing the needed context.

A master of tenses will correctly combine the verbs, auxiliary verbs (helping verbs) and time words, thus providing and conveying the needed context. Eventually, this is what tenses are all about: conveying and providing relevant context.
