There are three major tenses of verbs. These are the following:

⮚ Present Tense of the verbs expresses that actions happened in the present or at present time.

Rules in Forming the Present Tense of the Verb

1. If the subject is singular, use the singular form of the verb.
a. Add – s to form most present tense singular verbs.
Example: My father works in an office.

b. Add –es if the verb ends in s, ch, sh, x, or z.

Example: My brother watches his favorite TV show every day.

c. if the verb ends in a consonant and y change y to i and add –es.

Example: My sister flies a kite on our farm.

2. If the subject is plural, use the simple form or base form of the verb
Example: The pupils know how to care for the environment.

3. If the subject is you or I, use the simple form of the verb.

Example: I pray every night.

⮚ Past Tense of the verbs expresses that the actions happened in the past or they are already
done.
⮚ Add -d or -ed to the verb to form the past tense of the verb.
Example: I prayed last night.

⮚ Future tense of the verbs expresses that the actions will happen in the future or will still be
happening soon.
⮚ To form the future tense of the verb, add “will “or “shall” with the base or
simple form of the verb to show the action is in the future.

D. Discussing New Concepts

friends. Look for the verbs and write five (5) on your paper.

The Enormous Carrot

(by: Vladimir Vagin)

Once upon a time there was a hen who wanted to grow carrots. So, she planted some
carrot seeds in her garden.
The carrot seed grew and grew.
One day the hen went out to check her carrots. She could not believe her eyes. There
was an enormous carrot! She tried to pull it up but she was not able to do it.
The hen pulled and pulled it again. But she still could not pull up the enormous
carrot. So, she went to the dog. “Help me pull up that enormous carrot,” she said.
“I will help you,” said the dog. The hen and the dog pulled and pulled it together. But
they still could not pull it up.
So, the hen and the dog went to the cat. “Help us pull up that enormous carrot” she
said.
“I will help you,” said the cat. All three of them pulled and pulled it together but
the carrot wouldn’t come out of the ground.
So, the hen went to the mouse. “Help us pull up that enormous carrot,” she said.
“I will help you,” said the mouse. The hen, dog, cat, and mouse pulled and pulled
it together. Up came the enormous carrot!
That evening they cooked the enormous carrot and ate it all together.
