English Language. Tenses of Verbs

The manual examines the English tenses of the Simple, Perfect, and Continuous groups. Great attention is paid to comparing the usage of tenses, as the choice of tense form often causes difficulties for those learning English. The usage of Present Simple and Present Continuous, Past Simple and Past Continuous, Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous, Past Simple and Present Perfect is compared. Auxiliary verbs - to be, to have, to do - are discussed separately. A large number of exercises help consolidate the material and gradually achieve automatism in tense selection.
