Communicating with others

In this chapter we will learn how communicating with other (friend, teacher, or parents) to give an information or explanation on three times (progress at the time, in the past and in the future).

Sample Dialog

Communicating in different time

We must remember when we will give an explanation or information to notice the time of the incident. Maybe it will be happening on the future, past, or progress at the time. Because the grammatical of the sentence will be different.

Sample Suggestion

Pay attention on the bold letters, it is the example of give an information with present continuous tense.
