Anyone need help understanding tenses?

Please post your queries. I like answering that kind of question.

Hi Terry I think that I understand tenses but sometimes I doubt myself and I am doing the CELTA. So when I want to bounce some ideas around I'll take you up on your offer if it still stands. I am a great teacher but English isn't my strongest subject.

You're already on a forum where people ask these sorts of questions! Just be patient. Someone will turn up with a question you'll like.

Now, if you see that as grammatical, answer this. Which is correct here:

1. I got up at 7am. Before I went to school, I ate a big breakfast.

1. I got up at 7am. Before I went to school, I had eaten a big brea

Hi English1b3,

This seems like essentially the same query as you posted in your other thread.

I just spent time trying to answer you there.

I posted it here, because Terry personally wanted to answer questions of this nature. I didn't think anyone else would read this thread, so I posted it in a new thread also. Please never think you're wasting your time. I am a sponge; I absorb everything you say

It's not clear to me where Terry is suggesting we post our questions. [:^)]

Start here. If a query requires a long discussion, we can always make it a separate thread.
