The Past Perfect Perfectly Easy
I’m excited to share my brand-new Udemy course: The Past Perfect Perfectly Easy. This is the first in a four-part series designed to help English learners truly master grammar step by step.
Most English courses spend just 15–30 minutes on the past perfect and then move on. But if you’ve ever finished a lesson and thought:
-
“I still don’t really get it” — this course is for you.
-
Or if you’ve never learned the past perfect before — this course is for you too.
-
In over two hours of clear, step-by-step video lessons, we go deep into the past perfect so you can finally understand all its nuances. You’ll not only learn the rules—you’ll practice them until they feel natural.
What makes this course different?
-
Easy-to-follow explanations that break down a tricky tense.
-
Plenty of practice: speaking, reading, writing, and listening.
-
Pronunciation tips so you can sound confident.
-
Recall drills to help the grammar stick.
-
Simple vocabulary so you can fully focus on the tense.
Instead of rushing through, this course takes the time to dig into the tough stuff—because that’s where real learning happens. By the end, you won’t just guess if you’re using the past perfect correctly—you’ll know you are.
Who is this course for?
-
B1–B2 learners who want to master the past perfect.
-
Anyone who wants a solid grammar foundation for higher-level English.
This is the first step in a four-course journey that will take you from B1- to C1-level mastery. Start here and build the foundation you need for success in advanced English—and beyond.
