Thinking in pictures will help kids understand the concept well. I drew three trees. The tree that was grown in the past is the tallest, the present tree is growing but not as tall as past. The future tree is a dotted tree and addressed as virtual. Each tree has four branches, a simple branch with no leaves or one leaf, a continuous branch from which leaves are falling continuously, a perfect branch that has three perfect leaves and a perfect continuous branch that has three leaves falling continuously and three leaves perfectly replaced. These pictures with examples is an impactful way of understanding tenses. Do try it.

Awakening the inner consciousness in ourselves and our children will be like the inner light which guides them through life .
