Principales reseñas sobre PERFECT TENSES AND MODALS
I recommend anyone to take this online amazing course learn the perfect tense very easily. I have learn a lot by this course. Thank you so much UCI and coursera.
I loved this course. I am pretty good at grammar, but it was good to review some rules. I took it in four days, each day I completed one week. Every day I spent on average two hours on the course.
That is a well done, informative course. I brushed up my English and understood some basic — and yet overlooked— grammar rules and the logic behind the use of the present perfect tense.
I noticed, what I believed were errors, but there was no where to post comments - I couldn't find a Discussion Forum.
Nor were the presenters still members of staff at the Uni.
