    VERB DRILLS

    I really don’t believe in spending huge amounts of time on grammar but a little verb drill practice now and then can strengthen your knowledge of verb conjugations and tense structures. And this will give you more confidence.

    You need to combine it though with regular real-world practice if you want this knowledge to stick.
