Present/Past/Future - Pratice Drills

Que tal aprender, revisar e memorizar a estrutura de três tempos verbais em inglês de forma simples e prática? Preparei este exercício especialmente para você, com o apoio da inteligência artificial. Pratique bastante até memorizar — assim, na hora de conversar em inglês, você vai conseguir usar essas estruturas com muito mais facilidade e fluência. Sempre que aprendo um idioma, uso essa técnica. Repito muito, memorizo frases inteiras, treino gramática... até lembrar sem ter que fazer esforço. É a única forma de me sentir segura e começar a arriscar falar o novo idioma.
Depois me conte nos comentários como foi a sua experiência.
Have fun and keep practicing!
