Introduction
The Grammar Plan Book 2: Tenses is intended as an introductory
book for younger, beginner- and intermediate-level English and ESL
students. The worksheets in this book introduce the following tenses:
Present Tense, Present Continuous Tense, Past Tense, and
Future Tense.
This book is primarily a book of worksheets. Each worksheet, however,
contains explanations and examples of the different grammar points
written in clear, simple English, so that young learners should be able
to understand the content and the instructions without relying on
explanations from the teacher.
The worksheets in The Grammar Plan progress slowly and steadily.
When new or difficult information is presented, the worksheets are
relatively simple, including identification and recognition exercises.
Then, the worksheets become gradually more complex, requiring
learners to understand and apply the grammar points being taught.
As a long-time ESL teacher, I have developed and used these
worksheets in large classes as well as with private, one-on-one
students. The worksheets in this book are very effective at getting
students to understand English grammar without being overwhelmed.
If you find this book useful, try out Book 3: Tenses and More!,
which introduces more advanced English tenses, as well as passive
voice and phrasal verbs, in clear and simple English worksheets.
Good luck, and good grammar!
