	carla.andres92  +  954830 Wed, 28 Oct 09 12:52 AM has provided. provided, feels like you no longer have the skills provides, you are no longer a teacher so this would be incorrect because you are not being provided anything carla.andres92 Joined on Tue, Oct 27 2009 New Member 09 Tenses

	Grammar Geek  +  954831 Wed, 28 Oct 09 12:54 AM I disagree - even if you are no longer teaching, you still have the experience. My experience in the Navy provides me with plenty of fodder for good stories to tell. However, uktous, it's an odd sentence. Of course experience teaching provides teaching skills.
