third conditional
structure into a 
passage you're intending to use with an elementary group. By the 
same token, if you've got advanced level students, it's probably better 
to assume they already know to add ‘s' to the end of verbs in the third 
person when using 
simple present.
‘Harry Gibson is a teacher for about ten years and he is working in 
typical comprehensive school near of Manchester....'
Good. 
‘Harry the Gibson will has been of going to went a school hence 
Manchester...'
Probably a bit to much 
How to use the passage 
The passages can be used by students working alone, or in pairs 
or small groups. Set a time limit - I usually allow a maximum of 
fifteen minutes, reinforcing the need to keep things relatively simple. 
These are essentially revision exercises - not a way of trying to 
introduce students to new grammar. At the end of the exercise, go

through the passage with the student(s), correct the mistakes they've 
overlooked, re-teach stuff you think it's necessary for them to have 
learned by that point in the course, refer them to the appropriate unit 
in the grammar book - if you're using one to supplement the course. 
Conclusion
From experience, I've learned to limit these exercises to a couple 
of hundred words, and to insert between twenty to thirty grammar 
mistakes into each passage. I've used these exercises at the beginning 
of courses in order to test levels, identify particular areas of 
grammatical difficulty, as warmers at the beginning of lessons as a 
way of revising and consolidating grammar, as progress tests, and 
most particularly as homework exercises. Students like them, and 
given the choice they often ask me for one of these passages instead of 
a piece of writing, or exercises from the workbook etc - especially if 
you can exercise your imagination and perhaps introduce a bit of 
humour
