Complete the sentence. Put the verb in the correct form (present perfect).

1. I didn't tell (not / tell ) anybody that you're coming to see us, so nobody knows.

2. I haven't told (not / tell ) anybody that you're coming to see us, so nobody knows.

Number 1 is incorrect, 2 is correct. Can anyone help me understand why 1 is incorrect?

Thanks!

With learning how to teach grammar, it's best to just take things one small step at a time. Just deal with the point you are going to teach that particular day.

The more you teach grammar, the more confident you will become.

Knowing something and teaching/explaining it prove to be very different.

My teacher training package can help you to develop your skills as a teacher.

Also there are a range of efl materials to support your courses.

I have designed them all myself drawing on 12 years of experience.
