Step 3 · Let's Use It
Mixing tenses in a presentation
Strengthen the grammar from this lesson — a different route into it.
Quick explanation
UnderstandA personal presentation mixes 3 simple tenses: PRESENT (who I am), PAST (where I'm from / last things), and FUTURE with 'going to' (plans). Use simple sentences with 'and' / 'but'.
- I'm Maria. I'm from Spain. (present)
- I work as a designer. I like cooking. (present)
- Last year I lived in London. (past)
Notice the pattern
NoticeRead the sentences. What is the same in each one?
- I'm Maria. I'm from Spain. (present)
