Module 1
In this module, learners explore perfect tenses — a crucial tool for connecting past, present, and future actions. Through clear explanations and examples, learners will understand how to express experiences, sequences, durations, and future completions accurately in English.
Lessons Included:
Present Perfect Simple – Life Experiences & Recent Events
Learn to describe experiences, changes over time, and recent events using have/has + past participle, and understand how it differs from the Past Simple.
Past Perfect Simple – Sequencing Past Actions
Show which action happened first using had + past participle. Explore time markers like before, after, already, and just, and learn how it contrasts with Past Simple for precise storytelling and academic writing.
Past Perfect Continuous – Past Actions in Progress
Describe actions that were ongoing up to a specific past moment. Learn its form, differentiate it from Past Perfect Simple and Past Continuous, and use it fluently in narratives and descriptions of past durations.
Future Perfect – Actions Completed in the Future
Use will have + past participle to talk about actions that will be finished by a certain future time. Learn how it differs from other future tenses and apply it in predictions, plans, and deadlines.
Present Perfect Continuous – Actions Continuing to Now
Learn to describe actions that started in the past and are still continuing or have recently stopped using have/has been + verb-ing. Focus on duration, ongoing effort, and visible results, and clearly distinguish it from the Present Perfect Simple.
By the end of this module, learners will confidently use perfect tenses to describe past experiences, sequences, durations, and future completions in everyday, academic, and professional contexts.
