Mint chocolate chip ice-cream asked: 1. Past perfect tense.
Why do they find this concept so hard to understand? Is it because they only think in terms of simple past? Because they can’t understand why someone would want to talk about an action that happened before another action?
2. Forming questions that start with ‘will you’ or ‘would you’? Is it because they can’t understand the difference between can and will?
Details would be appreciated.Thank you.
