Learn English: Regrets and Past Perfect Tense

This detailed English language course begins by teaching you words related to shopping and the emotions experienced when buying in stores. The various topics feature articles, videos, and audio clips to help you practice your new vocabulary and skills so you become more proficient in English.

The course's first grammar topic reviews the forms and uses of the past perfect tense and explains how to use the perfect modals like 'should have' and 'ought to have' to express regret. Our second grammar lesson demonstrates how to form positive and negative sentences that express regret and how to frame questions using 'wish' and 'if only' in the past perfect tense.

The final section enhances your ability to read, write and speak English. It focuses on specific words and phrases you can use to describe the experience of shopping - which includes the regret one sometimes feels after spending money, called 'buyer's remorse.' The writing activities allow you to immediately practice what you have learned as you work on your newfound skills and vocabulary. We have designed this course to help you progress quickly, getting you conversing with others, which is the best way to gain confidence as you master English.
