Once again and with all my respect to this very unit, I admit that I didn't look through its content due to previous extensive experience. Still, I reckon it is worth mentioning that one of my worst memories, at school and then at college, was having to attend the same grammar class every year: time and conjugation in English. There seems to be a kind of unfathomable mystery that prevents us; French people, from understanding when and how to use these tenses, and that pushes teachers to come back to this point continually, which brings us to the challenge of the day: to explain simply and once and for all the different use and form of English tenses. English has a somewhat schizophrenic relationship with French: at once close and distant, it puts an end to our mistrust and makes us forget that it is, in fact, a language sometimes very different from ours. At first glance, the English conjugation is of disconcerting ease: a single ending (the famous -S) for example. If it seems complicated to us, it's because English times are not necessarily used like their French counterparts. Thinking well, Francophones tend to translate word by word from French to English, which does not work every time. I have learned that you need to study the English tenses one by one (the same way these tenses units are made) and see in which cases we can use them.
