About this course

Move beyond basic facts and start describing life as it happens. This program dives into the Present Progressive tense, equipping you to talk about ongoing actions, temporary situations, and upcoming plans. You will build a robust vocabulary featuring dozens of action verbs, everyday nouns, and precise time expressions. Additionally, you will master possessive adjectives and the highly versatile verb "get" (including common phrasal verbs like "getting on" or "getting bored"). Finally, you will refine your listening and speaking skills by practicing "H-dropping," a natural pronunciation feature in casual, fast-paced spoken English.

What you'll learn

Students will learn the structure and dual usage of the Present Progressive tense (for current actions and future plans), a wide range of action verbs and nouns, time expressions, practical applications of the verb "get," possessive adjectives, and the "H-dropping" pronunciation rule for English function words.
