This book is excellent. It was the main thing that helped me get through my TEFL course. It explained tenses in a way which was so straight forward, I had no trouble understanding them myself! It also provided excellent suggestions on practical exercises to use with your students. During my course, when it fell to me to teach the second conditional, those exercises proved priceless. All new EFL teachers should have one.

This book is a comprehensive analysis of the English tenses. Each tense is carefully outlined with examples and uses. There is also a section about learner difficulties for each of them. Tables and timelines are included throughout.

I recommend this book to any EFL teacher. Using this book it is suddenly easy to prepare lessons where new tenses are introduced. The examples and uses make preparation a piece of cake; the section on difficulties helps you to anticipate potential problems.

I would say this is an essential EFL book.

Teaching Tenses 15 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
This book is very good both for the teacher and the student. I can photocopy explanations for my students because the tenses are explained very clearly and the photocopiable section is easily adapted for use with many activities.
I would recommend this book to TEFL/TESOL students and to ESOL teachers.

Great book.
I found it very helpful and clear. There is only one problem. The cover is coming apart from the rest of the book.

No help at all.
Just finished my CELTA course and bought this book especially to help with tenses. Found it no use whatsoever! I most certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Read more

Good but, bad arrangement
This book has no index and a pittiful contents section at the front, it just dives right in which makes the book a little harder to use as reference. Read more
