Learning Competencies

-Compose clear and coherent sentences using appropriate

grammatical structures: aspects of verbs (EN5G-Ia-3.3)

Objectives
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

✔ Use different forms of verbs in sentences correctly

Let’s Recall
You have learned that verb is a word that tells actions and it must
agree with the subject in a sentence. Singular subjects take the -s form of the
verb while plural subjects take the base form of the verb.

Let’s see if you still remember the subject-verb agreement. Read each
sentence below, and then underline the correct verb for each sentence.

1. My sister, Rosie, (is, are) a member of the church choir.

2. My brother Ryan, along with Jeffrey and Christian, (drink, drinks) milk.
3. A carpenter, together with an electrician and a painter, (work, works) on the
new wing of the hospital.
4. The group of hikers (is, are) part of the team who won the contest this year.
5. The jury (decide, decides) to convict the man.
6. I (love, loves) English movies and programs.
7. Measles (is, are) very contagious.

8. There (is, are) a copy of the file.
9. The heart, along with 100,000 miles of arteries and veins, (supply, supplies)
the oxygen needed by all parts of the body.
10. The troop (fight, fights) to protect the city from terrorists.

Let’s Understand

There are three simple tenses of verb. These are present, past, and future.
“Verbal aspect” refers to the timing of the verb. It addresses whether the action occurs

in a single block of time, continuously, or repetitively. All verbs have both tense and
aspect. Verbal aspect consists of simple, progressive, and perfect.

● SIMPLE ASPECTS OF VERBS:

Simple tenses express facts and situations that happened in the past,
happening in the present, or will happen in the future.

A. Simple Present Tense

You use the simple present tense of the verb to tell about something thatis always
true or about an action that happens again and again.
PATTERN: verb + s/es
It is used for the following:

a. To show habitualaction Examples:

a. Ms. Dela Cruz jogs every morning.
b. Father drinks coffee in the afternoon.
c. I walk to school every day.

b. For statements that aretrue Examples:

a. The sun rises in the east.
b. Magnets attract irons.

2
 c. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

B. Simple Past Tense

You use the simple past tense of the verb to tell about events that happened
in the past.

Study the chart below:

REGULAR VERBS IRREGULAR VERBS

PRESENT PAST PRESENT PAST

wash washed come came

play played go went

look looked eat ate

push pushed drink drank

open opened write wrote

dip dipped run ran

cry cried buy bought

pity pitied sleep slept

A regular verb forms its past by adding -d or -ed to the base form. If the verb
ends in -y and a consonant comes first (try, fry, empty, etc.), change -y to -i and add -ed
(tried, fried, emptied, etc.). In other verbs, the final consonant is doubled before adding -
d or -ed.
An irregular verb forms its past by changing some vowels in the word or by
completely changing the word.

PATTERN: verb + d/ed or change spelling

d. Sam (get) got a perfect score in his exam.
e. Angelo (sleep) slept late last night.
f. Ms. De Leon (write) wrote a letter to my parents.

C. Simple Future Tense

You use the simple future tense of the verb to talk about events that will happen
in the future. Use will or shall to show an action happening in the future.
PATTERN: will / shall + base form of the verb

Examples:
a. My sister will travel to Baguio next summer.
