Dear students,
Apart from the Present Perfect Simple seen in Basic Level A2 and Intermediate Level B1, there’s another verb tense used for events that started in the past that you will find amazing and extremely helpful. Please welcome the Present Perfect Continuous!
If you’re interested in learning more about, please watch the video below.

Hi, everyone!
Have you ever wondered why the Present Perfect Simple is used in this sentence and not the Past Simple? And what about the difference between both verb tenses, since in Spanish we tend to use the Present Perfect Simple when the Past Simple is implied? Weird, isn’t it?
Well, watch this video and learn more about it.

Dear students,

Dear students,
Welcome to a new school year! I hope all of you are doing well so far in your different schools as well as in any of your new linguistic resolutions.
Have you ever felt you tend to use the very same connectors all the time? Would you like to sound a little bit more «advanced» when it comes to speaking and writing in English?
Well, as you can see, today’s video is about advanced linkers (connectors). Please, feel free to watch it and take notes. Afterwards, choose the ones you prefer and/or feel they fit in the way you express yourself and start using them straight away.
Enjoy the video!
And, as always, here’s a set of exercises for you to practise.

Dear students,
Welcome to a new post on the blog! On this occasion, I’d like to explain the differences between these two modal verbs, Must and Have to.
Although they seem to be very similar to the ones in Spanish, please be careful and don’t be deceived. They are not exactly the same and their use in both affirmative and negative sentences is different from the ones you could imagine. Also, remember, in order to remember those differences, you need to practise a lot, so I have included some activities.
And here are the activities,

Enjoy!
Dear students,
Today I’d like to share with you two videos and a series of online activities for you to learn how to use Will when talking about the future. As you can see, it’s very similar to Be going to, although not exactly the same.
