Right?”
 “So this time we will be talking about the verb
tenses. When to use a certain one and how to use  “Okay Ma’am!”
it is what we will be dealing today.”
 “So we have here verb tenses. Let’s first define
what is a tense? Anybody from the class who has  “Ma’am, tense is something like a form of
an idea? Predin?” the verb.”

 “Thank you Predin for that nice idea, how about  “Ma’am, tense is when an action happen.”
Ethel?”
 “Ma’am, tense is a form of a verb that is
 “Okay, very good Ethel you are very near to the used to show when an action happen.”
answer if you have just combine your answer to  “Ma’am!? Ma’am!?”
Predin’s idea. So anybody can do that? Shall we
have Rich?”

 “Very good! You got it perfectly, let’s give a

hand to her.” 5 points for ravenclaw  “Verb is an action word Ma’am.”

 “Okay class, Rich is right a tense is a form of a

verb that is used to show when an action happen.”
 Now what is written here is verb tenses, we
already know what a tense is. How about the
word verb what is it?  “Maam!?

 “Okay, Jasmin?”  “Past, Present and Future Ma’am.

 “And you got it very right!” “So class, we are

going to talk about the forms of this action words,
what we known as verbs.” “We have three forms
of verbs and what are those?” “Anybody?” “From
the game we have just did, I have mention it
there”

 “Okay, Gerald??”  “The action is going on Ma’am”

 “Very good! Okay, in English we have three basic

tenses these are the past, the present and the
future.” So class, when we say in past form the
action is what?  “Yes ma’am!”

 “No class, when we say it’s in past form, the

action is already done.” “Understood?”
 “Okay, everybody face in the front. Please read
the meaning of past tense on the visual aid Mr.
Ricky”
 “Past tense is use to express an action or a
condition that was started and completed in
the past.”
 “Ran ma’am!”

 “Okay thank you. For example, Sprinters ran like

antelopes. The past tense there is what?”  “Thank you ma’am.”

 “Okay, very good. You got it right Ezra! Ran is

the past tense of run.”  “Yes ma’am!”

 “Nearly all regular and irregular verbs except

“be” have just one past-tense form, such as
climbed or ran. The verb be has two past-tense
forms was and were. Right?”

 “for example:
o I was sure. (when you are talking of
 singular) and we were sure (plural).”  “Me and my friends were sure.”

 “Okay now, who can give me another example of

a verb using “be” in the past form.”

 “Okay very well said Ethel.”  “Present Tense”

 Now, next to Past tense is what?  “Futuristic ma’am”

 “Oh Gerald again?”  “Okay ma’am!

 “Hahahaha you are joking me. No darling it’s  “State of being ma’am.”
Present tense ma’am.”

 “Ma’am! Ma’am! Ma’am!”

 “Anyone can define what a present tense is?
o Oh yes Krissha you are raising your
hand. What is it?”
 “It is used to show time, state of being,
condition that exist now, and expresses
 “Okay, thank you. Another hand from the class.”
general truth.”
 “Oh yes! Ethel again, you are so participative. ”

 “1. It is use to show time.

 “Wow! Thank you for the very meaningful idea
o For example
Little miss Ethel.”
o It is 10o’clock
2. Present tense expresses a constant,
 “Okay, class please pay attention. These are the
repeated, or habitual action or
things that we need to remember in present tense.
condition. It can also express a
Okay, shall we all read.”
general truth.
o For example:
o Matthew likes the taste of tea
with honey in it. Meaning it
shows a repeated action.
o Another example is God is
valuable meaning it states a
general truth.
3. Present tense can also express an
action or a condition that exists only
now.
o For example:

 “Another example from the class that shows a
condition that exist only now in a sentence.”
 “Okay, very good. Thank you.”
 “And last but not the least is what form of verb?”
 “Yes, certainly! It is Future tense. Meaning it is
use to express an action or a condition that will
occur in the future.”
 “But class, please be reminded that future tense
has something to do with auxiliary verb and
modals.”
 “The word will and shall are just some of the
example.”
 “Okay, Gerald thank you for reminding me.
o For example
o Bobby will order the supplies.
o I will pack the car in the morning.”
 “And class, there are three other ways to express
future time besides using the future tense. “
 “They are as follows: please read no 1. Rich
o Krista feels good about her
score on the science test.
Meaning not always but just
now.”
 “Gerald is writing”
 “Future tense ma’am.”
 “Okay ma’am.”
 “Ah, okay ma’am and what are some of
the examples of word showing future tense
ma’am.”
 “Ahhh . Thank you ma’am.”
 “Ma’am can you give some example of a
sentence showing future tense?”
 “Ahh”
 “What are those ma’am?”
1. Use going to with the present tense
of be and the base form of a verb.
Example:
Robby is going to order the
 No. 2 Alice supplies.”
2. Use about to with the present tense
of be and the base form of a verb.
Example:
Robby is about to order
the supplies.”
 No. 3 Kurt 3. Use the present tense with an adverb
or an adverb phrase that shows future
time.
Example:
Robby leaves
tomorrow.”
