CT 01 Advanced Grammar - Perfect Tenses
Chalk ‘n’ Talk is a new series of video lessons exploring advanced English grammar topics.
These videos were made by Brian Rhodes, an English teacher from Canada. As Brian said, “These lessons are dedicated to my past and present students who enjoy analyzing and studying English grammar. Lots of students would rather just ‘use’ the language, but some like to know the why’s and how’s of English.” Our thanks to Brian for allowing BEP to share this excellent series of videos with our audience.
This lesson examines the use of perfect tenses in both the simple and continuous aspect - past, present and future forms. In grammatical terms, perfect tenses are used to refer to completed or finished events.

She has written the email to give her colleagues some bad news: the office email server will be “down” due to a technical problem. When a server goes “down”, it means the server has been taken offline for maintenance because of a problem.
Each video lesson features a review of a real-life email from one of our members. If you’d like to submit one of your own emails for possible review, click this link to go to the information page.
