How It Helps Your Business English
A short introduction states that English has twelve tense forms alongside other ways of expressing time, then gives three steps for using the tutorial: read the pages on types of verbs, on active and passive forms and on the tenses themselves, work through the exercises, and consult the chart and the questions. A table lists thirty exercises, each with the tenses it contrasts, from the simple present against the present continuous through to the future continuous against the future perfect continuous, ending with a practice test and a final test over all the tenses. The chart that follows arranges the twelve tenses in a grid of four rows and three columns, with a sentence for each and a second sentence showing the going to form in the future column. A commentary explains how the groupings of the grid relate to one another, and a closing set of questions covers the number of tenses, the mistakes that recur most often and where to find a complete list of forms.
You can follow the three steps in order and treat the page as a syllabus, or go to the exercise table and pick the pair of tenses you keep confusing, since each row names exactly what it contrasts. The chart gives you all twelve forms in one sentence pattern, which makes the difference between neighbouring tenses visible at a glance. The commentary under the chart tells you why the groupings matter, so that what you learn about one simple tense carries over to the other two. The practice test and the final test let you check the whole system once you have worked through the parts.
