An Advanced English Course for foreign Student

The Course  begins with the treatment of the anomalous finites, followed by that of the ordinary verbs. In the study of the latter, the uses of the preterite and perfect tenses have received special attention. One lesson has been devoted entirely to the special difficulties of the present habitual and present progressive forms. With regard to "shall" and "will," I have avoided the temptation of trying to over-simplify the problem. The infinitive, another stumbling-block, has been treated in an original and effective way, by analysing its functions, rather than by relying on long lists to be learnt by heart.
