This podcast is about narrative tenses (past simple, past continous, past perfect - see details below). We use these tenses to sequence stories about the past. To master the use of these tenses you have to deal with their form, their use and their pronunciation - both for listening and speaking. Use this podcast to help you deal with all of those things, and then start using narrative tenses fluently whenever you describe something. Make your descriptions more detailed and colourful! A full transcript, pronunciation drills, grammar notes and advice are all available for this episode. Click here http://teacherluke.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/mystery-story-narrative-tenses/
