Verb tenses

Glittery texts by bigoo.ws

These days we're having an overview of verb tenses. Apart from the explanations in the textbook or your class notes, at English tenses with cartoons you will find more information about them all in a nice and entertaining way. If you need to practice, there's also lots of exercices.

As for the irregular verbs (your favourite!), at Verbbusters you can practice the three forms with its translation at five different levels. Are you fast enough to appear on the best scores chart???

Conditionals

Now that the exams are round the corner, and since we didn't have much time to practice the conditional sentences, I recommend that you do a few more exercises online:

• Conditional Sentences / If-Clauses Type I, II and III Some exercises and tests


• Conditional sentences - if A long list of exercises.

And a little joke:

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY THE FAMILY DOG!
