Here's what our students say:
"Learning tenses changed how I talk! Before, I only knew a bit of English. But now, I use Present Simple to talk about what I like, and Past Simple to tell stories. It's like I'm a language superhero! Tenses help my friends understand me better. I'm proud of my progress!" - Sarah
"Tenses felt like a puzzle, but this course made it fun! With Present Continuous, I talk about what's happening now. Past Continuous helps me explain things in the past. It's cool how people follow my stories. Tenses make me feel like an English champion. Thanks for making it easy!" - Miguel

Here's a fun scientific fact:
In the world of language studies, researchers have found that tenses are really important for learning languages. In English, tenses work like the basic pieces in a puzzle, helping us show when things happen. Studies suggest that tenses are a big part of how well we use language, and about 60% of how we use English is about tenses. When we learn tenses well, we can talk about time better and improve how we talk to others a lot. It's like getting better at using the right timing in our words, which helps us share ideas clearly and make conversations smoother.
