This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
This unit made it clear that there are definite similarities, in applying the past tense, to the present tense, everything here obviously just happened in the past. An example is if the verb 'to be' is used in the present it will be present continuous, if the verb 'to be' is used in the past it will be the past continuous and this applies for past perfect and past perfect continuous. So if one keeps a calm head and apply one set of principles to three different tenses (past, present and future) it does make more sense and easier o understand.
The past simple tense expresses an idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Here we usually add -ed to the verb, except if we have irregular verbs. The past continuous tense, indicate a longer action in the past was interrupted at a specific time. Here we would use 'was or were' and add -ing to the verb in use. The past perfect is an idea that occurred before another action in the past. Here we use 'had' which indicates the action happened in the past viewed from another past viewpoint. The part perfect continuous is something that started in the past and continued up until another time in the past. Here we use 'had been' and add -ing to the verb.
In this unit I realised that you actually just need to learn one set of rules and apply it to the three different tenses, past, present and future. This will definitely help everybody in the classroom.
