2. As a selection of one of the most important topic that, in my
opinion, we have studied during the quarter, the intention I want to
follow with this presentation is not only a self-assess about the gained
knowledge but also to share it with my classmates, and at the same
time it could serve to the professor as a measurement of the
individualized achievement of the initial courses objectives, y also allow
me to storage important material that can be very useful during all my
career.
From all the topics that we saw; I chose one; which is not exactly the
most easily understood and assimilated by me, if not the opposite; in
which I found greater degree of difficulty and I think is the most
extensive and may include or relate to the other`s, With the object of
being rechecked of important details, in order to understand them
better and especially to spend a little more time in the practicing them.
I hope my proposal will help you as much as helped me to continue
expanding our English knowledge and that this language every day
becomes to be a better tool for our intellectual and professional
development .
3. VERBAL
TENSES
To use correctly past, future and present tenses, there are
just a few rules to keep in mind. For example If you know how to
use the present progressive correctly to express present actions,
you will as well be able to use the past progressive correctly to
express past actions. See graphically is a good way to memorize
things, topics, rules, formulas etc, and I consider this Graphic
Comparison is a good tool that could help us to understand how
and when to use which tense verb in each case.
