This unit provides a very systematic introduction to present tenses in English language. I found the content introduced in this unit very useful and I`m happy I can use it when I need to teach verb tenses. English verb tenses can be difficult to learn for non-native speakers of English. Different cultures have different ways of thinking about time. Chinese, for example, has no grammatical verb tenses. Other languages, like Indonesian, express time only through adverbs ? there are no changes to the verb form. English verb tenses give many details about time and action such as: Is the action finished? How long did the action happen? Was the action repeated? Did the action happen at a known or unknown time? Is the action a habit? Is the action planned or spontaneous? It is difficult to think about time distinctions that do not exist in your own language. So, it takes a lot of time and effort for English learners to master verb tenses. That`s why I believe it`s very important to teach the verb tenses in a very systematic and clear way, so the students can easily understand them and get to use them properly.
