Lesson 22
12:30pm B2
Class - The English Tense System & Thinking In English 
(1) The English Tense system may be organised differently to your own language. In English, for example, “time” is only one concept that the tenses describe.  It may be helpful to think of the English tenses as describing different forms of “distance”.

• Distance in Time
• Distance in Relationship
• Distance in Reality  

For this reason it is always important to consider the context of a sentence first – the use of a past tense does not always mean we are talking about a time in the past!
It maybe useful to think about these concepts visually. Click on the document available here: http://seansenglishclassroom.pbworks.com/w/page/41658221/English%20Grammar%20and%20Thinking%20in%20English
