I just need a tip on fully learning the present tenses. #1 (permalink) Thu Oct 15, 2009 3:57 am   I just need a tip on fully learning the present tenses.
 

I've just finished reading present tense to present perfect continous tense. I memorized the "uses" now like the palm of my hands but I just realized that I need to do more than just that lol.

I found the story on the main site about highlighting the p.t. very helpful. Practice makes perfect I guess. My idea right now is to read some English blogs and practice tracking down the tenses and study "why" it's being used that way.

Do you guys have any more ideas?

Just pay more attention to how the tenses are used whenever you read a text, watch a movie, hear people speak or listen to audio materials.
