The first three lessons in the Blue Level help students understand how to use the verb "be."

  • Lesson One: Using the verb "be" in the present tense.
  • Lesson Two: Using the verb "be" in the present tense, negative.
  • Lesson Three: Using the verb "be" in the present tense go make questions.

Completing these three lessons is absolutely necessary for beginning level students. A student who doesn’t understand how the verb "be" changes according to the verb tense and the subject will always have difficulty with English.

Each course level on this website has a checklist. Print out and keep the checklist next to your computer, tablet, or phone and use it to track your progress as you move through the lessons:
