SMRT 125 - UNIT 5 - PRESENT PERFECT
Great Verb Tense Chart
Great Verb Chart for all Tenses. This is a link to a very good verb chart for all tenses with 'key' or 'sign' words that are used with different tenses. This chart also gives questions and negative forms and when to use each tense, with examples. Go to the link and bookmark it for yourself or copy it into a file to keep on your computer.
http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/tenses_table.pdf
http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/english_tenses.htm
This site has visual explanations with words for verb tense and aspect and is very helpful to understand the most used tenses in English. I recommend this for all ESL students at any level to review. You do not need a teacher to go through this--you can easily follow the notes and diagrams. Very good help to students!! The animated diagrams with the explanations of the verb tenses are really easy to understand to make learning the tenses so much easier!! Try it for yourself. You do not need a teacher to show you anything.
