I know core tenses isn't as sexy as business expressions but it is arguably much more important. Making mistakes with core tenses (present, past, future, present perfect) is a more serious mistake than for example missing an S on your plural or using an ininstead of an on preposition. I spend a lot of my time working with my students on these core tenses so that there are perfect. If you have a great command of these core tenses you can be confident working in a business  environment in English. Remember that the first step is to be aware that you're making a mistake and then you can correct it. A coach should identify your mistakes and help you along the way to improving them. ANNA WITH 2NS PODCAST -  Business English every WednesdaySign up to my newsletter to to get exclusive content from the podcast and be the first to hear about my coursesGet more of my business English content on my InstagramListen to me as a co-host on Culips English Chatterbox showDonate and support me and my content Say hello on LinkedIn @AnnaConnellyFollow me on Instagram @annabusinessenglish

Would you start a project to improve something without a plan or strategy? Didn't think so. English should be the same. I recommend you to take a step back and think about what you really want to achieve this year. Be realistic and honest with yourself and you will come up with a goal that is achieveable that you can really work towards.*Technically, this question is one for the Coach but I explain what I mean in the episode. Enjoy!ANNA WITH 2NS PODCAST -  Business English every WednesdaySign up to my newsletter to to get exclusive content from the podcast and be the first to hear about my courseGet more of my business English content on my InstagramListen to me as a co-host on Culips English Chatterbox showDonate and support me and my content   Say hello on LinkedIn @AnnaConnellyFollow me on Instagram @annabusinessenglish
