Episode Details
Back to Episodes181. Essential Grammar for Business English: Past Tense Regular Verbs Breakdown
Description
If you've listened to previous episodes you may have heard me mention that there are really 4 core tenses that the majority of people need in a business context; the present, the future, the past and the present perfect. If you have a good command of these ones, that will serve you well in many business interactions.
I've found personally that many people are more comfortable with the future and present tenses but generally weaker with the past and present perfect. I'd like to start to work on this with you in today's episode. We are going to start with regular verbs in the past tense. In the future I will pick up other areas such as irregular verbs.
Enjoy! Anna
