Curiostiy: Learning Verb Tenses in the Real World

This recent article in ReadWrite Web "Watching Curiosity Every Which Way " by Fruzsina Eördögh is not only timely and very interesting, but as a language instructor, I can also say that it is a chapter of a two-year real-world evolving "live" resource on application of "verb tenses."

English language learners can use this resource to point out the verb tenses as the story unveils -- what was, what has been, what is currently taking place with Curitosity and what is yet to come.

English language instructors can also use this story to instill the love of question formation in the classroom and predict the "what ifs" and find the real-world answers to the questions as Curiosity continues its journey.

In addition, learners can view the many ways they can learn/read about Curiosity in Socialmedia, and use the means to the information as a topic for discussion in class.

Fascinating!
