Improve Grammar with One-A-Day: Review & Practice Your Basic Tenses – book

Improve Grammar by Practicing Basic Tenses

Goal – To improve grammar, vocabulary, and phrases!

This intermediate level book contains two short stories for each basic tense. For each tense, there are two tense-specific stories and two combined tense stories. So, in part one, that focuses on the present tense, there are two stories that use only the present simple, two stories that use the present continuous, two that use the present simple passive, and two that use the present continuous passive. Once you’ve completed all of those, there are two more stories that combine all four present tenses.

For each exercise you:

• read a complete text for meaning
• re-read the text, but this time, underline the basic structure in the complete text
• move on to the gap-fill exercise and fill in the gaps with the appropriate basic tense structure
• check your basic tense structure against your underlined structure in the complete text.
