ENGLISH TENSES CHART

Teaching past perfect progressive tense is not something I would chose to do with primary school students.  Whilst at primary school I was not taught grammar formally and at teacher training college the theory was that if a child was exposed to good quality texts then they would naturally use grammar accurately.  However, currently, students are expected to know the terminology and how to use the tenses.  As such, I use the chart below, to support students with learning and understanding tenses.
