Elementary English 205

To understand a new language and converse in it easily, you need a solid foundation in vocabulary and grammar rules. This is the fifth course in the ‘Elementary English’ series and builds on what you have already learned in its predecessors. It strengthens your skills, making you more confident and experienced in English. The first section introduces you to common greetings and gestures used by English-speakers before comparing examples of good and bad manners. 

The course then explains the use of the past simple tense to describe actions that occurred in the past. Learn how to construct basic sentences such as ‘John visited France last year’ and use regular and irregular verbs in the past tense. We then demonstrate how to ask simple questions like ‘Did John go to the party last night?’. We introduce the ‘past participle’: that part of a verb that indicates a completed action. Discover when to use the present perfect tense to establish a connection between the past and present and announce new information or recent events. We explain how ‘adverbs of time’ like ‘soon’ and ‘lately’ change verbs and indicate when things happen.

Our final section cements your learning with reading and listening comprehensions, speaking practice videos and writing exercises. These build on what you have learned through the previous topics. Audio clips help to improve your pronunciation of English words to quickly allow you to try out your new skills in conversation. English is a diverse language used internationally for business and pleasure so enroll for these elementary classes to master etiquette and take your skills to their next level.
