BIG 5 Fünf Zeiten richtig anwenden und sicher auf Englisch kommunizieren
Book review (by Dave Preston, English Coach)
“Small is beautiful” certainly rings true with Birgit`s latest book. … Most students of English struggle with mastering the big 5 tenses, so it makes perfect sense to break them down and then practise with some cool test-yourself exercises… I particularly love the one-pager “Repeating and Learning” summary as a memory jogger just before the exercises. This book is conceptually brilliant, with a well-thought-through structure and clear and concise explanations and examples. Another must-have book by Birgit and ideal to keep coming back to!
