How much grammar do you really need to know to speak English?

Many of my clients tell me they don’t want to study English grammar — they just want to speak.
And honestly, I get it.
That’s exactly why I created a free cheat sheet designed to help you learn all the English verb tenses you actually need to speak naturally and confidently — without spending hours memorising rules.
How It Works
The best way to learn English grammar and verb tenses is to create examples that are about your own life.
In the worksheet, you’ll find four columns:
The verb tense
The definition
A generic (and boring) example
A blank space
Your mission is to fill in that last column with something interesting. Sentences about your experiences — people, places, memories, anything personal to you.
This makes the examples unforgettable, and you can reuse them as model sentences the next time you need that verb tense.
And if you’re feeling a real swot (secchione/a), add a few negative or question forms too!
Why This Method Works
Your brain remembers best when learning feels personal.
When you create examples based on your life, you’re no longer “studying grammar” — you’re learning to think in English.
It’s the most natural way to become fluent: one real, personal example at a time.
