 DEAR
ENGLISH
LEARNER!

I made this PDF to help you learn and remember the

structures of the twelve English tenses.
Use it in the way that works best for you. You could print
it out and put it on your wall near your desk or you could
have it on your phone so it’s quick and easy for you
to reference when you’re not at home.
On the next three pages you will see the structures.
This document is great for learning them but the uses
of the tenses is a different matter all together.
I go in to more depth about how natives use the tenses on
my Youtube channel and on my other social medias.
Now let’s look at the structures!

 THANK YOU

Just a quick final word from me.

I hope you find this document useful. Having taught

many students and seen how they grow, I know how
important it is to commit the structures to memory.
Once these are automated in your head you are free
to use them with little thought about it. That is the goal.
To automate them so you don’t need to think about
them.
It would mean a great deal to me if you could tell
your friends, fellow students and family members about
my social media pages and me as a teacher. I wish you
all the best with your studies and all the best on the path
where you will use the English language.

Thank you,
Cooke.
