The Author -
Brenda Hemmrich

My name is Brenda and I'm from Dublin, Ireland.
I now live in Germany and I wrote this book because I wanted to help students enjoy learning English.
As I give grinds every day to pupils and students, I know that many of you have problems with the tenses. I wrote this book, to give you something that you can refer to, to make learning easier for you.

I learned German by asking my husband to translate everything I wanted to say into German. I repeated the sentences a few times until I was able to say them fluently, and as the weeks went by, I found I was able to make sentences on my own. At first I found it easier to answer questions than to ask them. That's why there are always questions and answers on every page in the tenses section of the book, so you can practise asking questions as well as answering them. Practise a little every day and you will be surprised how quickly you are able to speak English. You can listen to the audio tracks and this will help you with the pronunciation. The tenses are very important and as there are only six tenses in German and thirteen in English, the best way to learn them is to practise using them in sentences rather than learning just the verb form.
