ABSTRACT: How long does it take to teach twelve tenses of verbs? My "Bee" verb method can make all tenses come alive in ten minutes. Simply relate the story of the electronic bee, create a conversation between the electronic bee and the natural bee, and talk like the bees by pluging into the conjugation formula. The students love this show and are ready to follow with "be verb" superdrills. This is a wonderful technique for all basic writing skills teachers.
