Even though I am profficient in English when it comes to speaking, writing and reading, there are still a lot words I am yet to learn which are most commonly considered as "old English". Mainly words that are not used as often anymore.
The tenses, not the simple one, present, past and future, it is present continuous, future simple, that really confuddles me,, i need to sit down and go through it again..
I find that because where I'm from we speak broken English or English dialect. It is very hard to retain proper English because I am used to a dialect that doesn't have a comprehensive written version nor rules. And it also does not follow proper English grammar rules nor spelling and vocabulary. Also accents are a universal issue when teaching English because we all pronounce things differently and speak at a variety of speeds.

The first thing to do when teaching conditionals would be to explain what conditionals are, then provide them with examples, then play a game where they need to identify the conditional, and finally have them create their own to see if they understood it
