An English Lesson About Time Oct 14, 2021

Show notes

When you're learning English it is important to learn how to talk about time. It's important to learn little phrases that you can use to talk about things that happened in the past or the future. If you're confused, I think it's about time you watched this English lesson! This English lesson is about more ways to talk about time in English.
This is a more advanced lesson than learning how to tell time. It is a little more complex than just saying, "It's 2:30!", or "It's 10:10!". In this lesson I'll show you how to talk about something that happened a few weeks ago, something that will happen in the future, and how to talk about things that happen occasionally.
I hope you enjoy this English lesson about time!
