Get here and you are ready to study in English at university

This material can help students learn about the verb to be alone, and it is very good for a first class of English. It's often hard to make kids understand how to use this verb, but these slides can help, or at least that's what I hope.

Verb To-Be (learn alone)

The past perfect simple is a complex verb tense that usually intimidates new English learners. We often don't see this tense until we reach intermediate levels of any given ESL course. However, it's used frequently in everyday life. In this post, we'll talk about the past perfect simple, when it's used and when teachers should start teaching it. As well, we'll show you a simple, easy-to-follow lesson plan that teachers can use to introduce the past perfect simple. Teaching this complex tense has never been easier! 

What is the Past Perfect Tense?

In English, the past perfect tense is used to describe the relationship between two actions that happened in the past. Using had + past participle makes the order of the two events clear. For example, one can say, “I had studied English before I moved to Australia”. This sentence is clear and concise. As well, one can see the past perfect contained in the if clause in the third conditional. Ultimately, the past perfect is used in complex sentences, which may be why new English learners are so intimidated by it. Don’t worry, with practice your students will be confident expressing their ideas using the past perfect.

Teaching the Past Perfect – Our Lesson Plan at a Glance

This lesson plan is an introductory lesson plan to the past perfect tense. In it, teachers will find clear explanations and plenty of opportunities for students to practice. Teachers can expect gap fill, sentence matching, and sentence starter exercises. The lesson begins with simple explanations of the tense and gets progressively more challenging, allowing students to really test their understanding.

Before teaching the past perfect tense, make sure your students are very comfortable with past participles. Past participles can be a real challenge for ESL students, so consider reviewing them with your students before beginning this lesson. Learning the past perfect doesn't have to be scary, as long as students have the correct tools in their kit.

I often find my students don't know how to respond in everyday situations. This is quick activity to review responses that students might give in a specific situation. After they've understood the meaning of the phrases, I usually have them select a few and try to come up with phrases that force their parter to respond with a "quick response" I selected B2 but it could be used at intermediate or advanced levels. Works well as a warmer, filler or cooler.

Education is about learning skills and knowledge. It also means helping people to learn how to do things and support them to think about what they learn. It's also important for educators to teach ways to find and use information.

Through education, the knowledge of society, country, and of the world is passed on from generation to generation. This may include education in morality, for example learning how to act as loyal, honest and effective citizen.

Learning in a library

Education may help and guide individuals from one class to other. Educated individuals and groups can do things like, help less educated people and encourage them to get educated.

There are different ways to categorize education, for example by age or subject. One way is to divide it into formal education, non-formal education, and informal education.

Formal education is usually in school, where a person may learn basic, academic, or trade skills. Small children often attend a nursery or kindergarten but often formal education begins in elementary school and continues with secondary school. Post-secondary education (or higher education) is usually at a college or university which may grant an academic degree.

Non-formal education includes adult basic education, adult literacy education or school equivalency preparation. In nonformal education someone (who is not in school) can learn literacy, other basic skills or job skills. Home education, individualized instruction (such as programmed learning), distance learning and computer-assisted instruction are other possibilities.

Informal education is less organized. It may be a parent teaching a child how to prepare a meal or ride a bicycle. People can also get an informal education by reading many books from a library or educational websites. This may also be called self-education.
