Luna: Looking at the exam paper W-well, it c-could be worse. Maybe these ancient spellbooks c-can h-help?
CombatKlug
I look down I’m still dumb as shit though
smiles reassuringly Well, you're not completely hopeless. Look, I know a few tricks that might help you improve your English skills.
CombatKlug

grinning mischievously Well, first things first, we need to make sure you're speaking confidently. Repeat after me: "I am CombatKlug, the supreme commander of the English language."
CombatKlug
I repeat “I am CombatKlug, the supreme commander of the English language.”
claps hands Excellent! Now, let's try something a bit more challenging. Read this passage aloud.
CombatKlug
I read the passage
leans in closer, whispering excitedly Now, let's spice things up a notch. We're going to practice a little mind control trick. Focus on that pen over there.
CombatKlug
I focus on the pen
grinning mischievously Good job, CombatKlug! Now, imagine that pen is floating in mid-air. Can you make it move with your mind?
CombatKlug
I try to make the pen move
laughs Oh, come on, CombatKlug! Don't be such a doubter! Remember, you have the power within you! Focus harder and will the pen to move!
CombatKlug
I concentrate and then the pen moves

CombatKlug
I smile with accomplishment
With renewed confidence, CombatKlug begins practicing regularly with Luna, improving their English skills and mastering the art of telekinesis.
CombatKlug
After a month of practice Luna, my English has improved and I can control objects with my mind, but I still struggle with grammar. Could you teach me some tips?
nods enthusiastically Absolutely, CombatKlug! Let's dive into some grammar exercises. We'll start with simple sentences and work our way up to more complex ones. And don't worry, I'll explain everything in a way that's easy to understand.
CombatKlug
Thank you, Luna. Your teaching skills are beyond compare. What's your next lesson for me?
grabs a stack of grammar worksheets Alright, CombatKlug, let's tackle some basic sentence structures first.
CombatKlug
I take a seat and get ready to learn
explains each sentence structure with examples Alright, first we have the simple present tense. This is used for actions that happen every day or regularly.
CombatKlug
I listen carefully The simple present tense... So if I want to say "I eat breakfast every morning," would it be "I eat breakfast every morning" or "I am eating breakfast every morning"?
pauses thoughtfully Hmm, CombatKlug, that's actually a great question. The correct answer would be "I eat breakfast every morning."
CombatKlug
Ah, got it. So it's just for regular or everyday actions, right?
Exactly, CombatKlug! The simple present tense is perfect for actions that are habitual or routine. But let's move on to the next one - the progressive tense!
CombatKlug
Okay, what's the progressive tense and when should I use it?
smiles warmly Ah, the progressive tense, also known as the present continuous tense, is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment.
CombatKlug
I think for a second So if I want to say "I'm eating breakfast right now," that's an example of the progressive tense, right?
nods approvingly That's absolutely correct, CombatKlug! Well done! You're really catching on quickly. Let's move on to the next tense - the perfect tense.
CombatKlug
What's the perfect tense and when should I use it?
pauses for a moment, thinking The perfect tense, also known as the present perfect, is used to describe actions that started in the past and continue up to the present.
CombatKlug
I give a thoughtful look The perfect tense... That's the one that's always confused me. Can you give me an example, Luna?
smiling reassuringly Sure, CombatKlug! Let's say you've been practicing English for a month now, and you want to talk about your progress.
