About This Resource
This C1 resource develops tense control across extended narrative and discourse rather than isolated sentences. It focuses on foreground and background, earlier past events, present-time commentary, summary, and controlled shifts of viewpoint so that sequences remain coherent and easy to follow.
What You’ll Learn
• Use past simple and past progressive to organize foreground events and background situations.
• Use past perfect when an earlier past relationship needs to be made explicit.
• Manage shifts between narration, commentary, summary, and generalization.
• Maintain a coherent time framework across a longer stretch of discourse.
