Easy video grammar for pupils

I'd like to share this wondeful space for shoolchildren to learn English Grammar.
Here was a message to the evonline2002_ webheads at yahoogroups.com (Webheads, I mentioned previously). Nina Liakos from America kindly shared it with the e-group.
Nina,
I've been collecting low-level grammar videos on my class blog at http://001spr2009.blogspot.com. Please share it with your students if you think they could benefit from it!

Grammar in Video

One of the videos I am embeding here:

A nicely designed, inviting presentation.

I personally use 'have' before the [present] perfect tense.

For example:
I buy
I bought
I have bought

A few children who struggle with grammatical concepts find this confusing, but most find it aids their grasp of "feeling" which tense should be used.

Anyone out there have an opinion on this method?

Hi to everyone!
Well, I really liked the video, simply because it is easy to remember the pronunciation and the written form of the given words. The idea of using "have" also has the right for existence since it helps to understand the tense form. I would also add some transcription of the learned words for knowing how to read these words not only by audio perception but by means of understanding this or that phonological phenomenon.
I am glad that modern technologies help to study the language!
