  Can we mix tenses, like an example below:
  
  "X has shown a good attitude in trying to improve in English. His English is improving and he is gaining more self-confidence in both his oral and written languages. X finds spelling words challenging and requires ongoing effort and support. He is now able to write a simple sentence independently and to read beginner level storybooks with frequent support.
  He has learnt some basic English structures as follows:"
  X has shown: is it present participle?
  His English is improving: present participial?
  He is gaining and he has learnt present participial? In these sentences, can we use past tense? Because he already “gained” and already "learnt"?
  
  Thank you and regards

  Thank you very much Bill. Your explanation is very clear and easily to understand.
  May I ask you, when we write a student's report, what tense should we use?

  When we use: We would / We could?
  I hear my friend offen said: "I wouldn't ..." when we use "would"/"could"?

  Hello Bill, please accept me into your list.
  I'm English learner with difficulty to chose a word suitably, i think my grammar is not good enough to be confident in writing.
  It's nice if i can write and get a correction from you.
  Thank you.
  Taduc.
