Abstract: There are several differences between Japanese and English expressions, such as the usage of tenses. Japanese speakers generally use the past tense in Japanese sentences whether the past actions or events have some connection with the presents. Because of the usage of the past tense in Japanese, Japanese speakers often mistakenly use the past tense in English sentences when they should use the present perfect tense. In order to select suitable tenses in English sentences, Japanese speakers should pay attention to the presence of connection between the past and the present because they are not described clearly in Japanese sentences. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a learning support method for English composition by using asking back questions. Our system asks users back, make them pay attention to the presence of connection between the past and the present, and help them to determine which tense is suitable, the past tense or the present perfect tense.
