Hi all, Thanks for your comments and replies. I have added few more posts + updates to existing pages from my notes / other sources of learning.
ReplyDelete@Nidhi sharma, yes you are right.
My apologies for the delayed response, I plan to be more regular henceforth.
Thank you,
Booma
Thanks for sharing a nice compilation of tenses. Tenses form the base for conversing any language, that too with their singular/plural and 1st/2nd/3rd person usage combinations. Very structured post, although it's difficult to provide a complete gist for any language through a non-oral medium. Thanks again for a detailed list of examples.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ms. Booma for this wonderful content. Your blogs are very helpful for me.

ReplyDeleteI am sure this might be advantageous for a majority of language learners. Your strategy of making this worthwhile post accessible here is commendable. One can speak and practice English in an effective way, just by downloading English Learning App on your own smartphone, which you can use whenever and wherever you want to practice your communication skills with experts.

Great website that focuses on the essential bits required for the majority of conversation. Most other websites just teach you a whole lot of words(many of them irrelevant) without teaching you how to string them together into an understandable sentence. I intend to use the same structure as yours to teach my kids hindi too!! Thanks a ton
