Teaching Helping Verbs


When teaching helping verbs (also known as auxiliary verbs), you should make sure that:
  1. Your students study them in the correct order

  2. They actually understand the different meanings of each helping verb

  3. They get enough practice for each helping verb and each combination of helping verbs

Now, the course won't teach your students instead of you. It should, however, greatly assist you in teaching helping verbs.

It provides a great set of tools you can use with any student.

The course is delivered using weekly e-mails, so you will have a new lesson each week. There are 15 lessons in total.
