Emergency English for Beginners I don't like grammar and think the most important thing is to be understood. From what I hear, the past, present and future in English are very hard ideas. They are not. PRESENT: I, you, we, they, she/he/it find, see, do, make, run, walk, swim, sing, .... FUTURE: I, you, we, they, she/he/it WILL find, see, do, make, run, walk, swim, sing, ... PAST: I, you, we, they she/he/it DID find, see, do, make, run, walk, walk, swim, sing, ... (all you need is the INFINITIVE, as found in the dictionary). EG She did run to work. He will find her there. They will work together. ... This is not perfect grammatically but EVERYBODY with even a small bit of English will understand you.

Emergency English Verbs for Beginners

I don't like grammar and think the most important thing is to be understood. From what I hear, the past, present and future in English are very hard ideas. They are not.

PRESENT: I, you, we, they, she/he/it find, see, do, make, run, walk, swim, sing, ....
FUTURE: I, you, we, they, she/he/it WILL find, see, do, make, run, walk, swim, sing, ...
PAST: I, you, we, they she/he/it DID find, see, do, make, run, walk, walk, swim, sing, ...

(all you need is the INFINITIVE VERB, as found in the dictionary). EG
She did run to work. He will find her there. They will work together. ...

This is not perfect grammatically but EVERYBODY with even a small bit of English will understand you.

Thank you. I think this is a very easy and helpful comment that a learner can apply to start write and speak English.

Nice hack, but I'd rather spend a few hours to study the differences between perfect tenses

I am so happy that you don't try to teach me this kind of English...In my opinion non-native speakers simplify foreign languages all the time, but simplifying is not the same as the deliberate distortion of the language...
