Teaching tenses without tensing up...
This book is excellent. It was the main thing that helped me get through my TEFL course. It explained tenses in a way which was so straight forward, I had no trouble understanding them myself! It also provided excellent suggestions on practical exercises to use with your students. During my course, when it fell to me to teach the second conditional, those exercises proved priceless. All new EFL teachers should have one.

A Must for any EFL Teacher
This book is a comprehensive analysis of the English tenses. Each tense is carefully outlined with examples and uses. There is also a section about learner difficulties for each of them. Tables and timelines are included throughout.

I recommend this book to any EFL teacher. Using this book it is suddenly easy to prepare lessons where new tenses are introduced. The examples and uses make preparation a piece of cake; the section on difficulties helps you to anticipate potential problems.

I would say this is an essential EFL book.

Teaching Tenses
This book is very good both for the teacher and the student. I can photocopy explanations for my students because the tenses are explained very clearly and the photocopiable section is easily adapted for use with many activities.
I would recommend this book to TEFL/TESOL students and to ESOL teachers.
