Well, I think you might be just a little tired of dealing with tenses, and certainly not everything is studying when acquiring a language. Here you have the typical "fill in the blanks" exercise with songs, but I think you will like the way it is done in this website. Just pick the song you prefer, and select a level to "play". Of course, you can DO BOTH!!
Both of them include several different verb tenses.
I hope you like them.
Gotye: "Somebody that I used to know"
or if you prefer something a little faster...
Foo Fighters: Walk
See you!

HOW THE FUTURE HAPPENED
Now that we are dealing with verb tenses, here is a comic telling "how the future happened"... Do you agree that music was replaced at some time by "total crap"?
TENSES
Here you have a summary of the form and uses of verb tenses in English. Please, revise the information so that we can discuss it in class, solve any possible doubts and then practise with this stuff.
Remember that you can make any comments you want, and you don't even have to become a follower of the blog, as you can post your comments anonymously.
