SIMPLE PAST x PRESENT PERFECT PART 2 - ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL?



Richard St. John talks about success. He says he is more of an informational speaker rather than a motivational speaker. I found his speech very motivational though! So I thought we might as well go through the amazing things he has to say while also learning and practicing English.


This lesson is based on a video posted to TED Ed and focuses on the Simple Past x Present Perfect. Once you access the page, you will be able to watch the video and do the activities. Click on the "Think" button to answer general comprehension questions. Then click on the "Dig Deeper" button to work with the verb tenses from his speech (Simple Past x Present Perfect).

Alternatively, access the worksheet of this lesson to do the exercise in the "Dig Deeper" sessions and see an answer explanation as well.
