IV. PROCEDURES

A. Introduction What I need to know

A verb is a word that expresses, asserts, states or declares an action or state of

being. It is the heart of the sentence. For without a verb no expression of
thought is possible. Verbs come in three tenses: past, present, and future. The
past is used to describe things that have already happened (e.g., earlier in the
day, yesterday, last week, three years ago). The present tense is used to
describe things that are happening right now, or things that are continuous.
There are many words and expressions to refer to time. These are called time
expressions. Time Expressions are used to indicate the time at which or
during which an action took place.

In this lesson, you are expected to use time expressions appropriately to tell
an action in the present.
Here, you will find sentences, short stories, selections and activities that will
help you build better verbal communication skills. Web links are also
specified as a provision for flexible-learning.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

 ·Use correct time expressions to tell an action in the present
 ·Identify time expressions used to express an action that happens
regularly or habitually
 ·Use the correct form of verb that agrees with the subject in number
 ·Realize that hard work pays off

If actions are done regularly or habitually, the verbs used are in the simple
present tense. When to use present tense?
Use the present tense when:
1.1 an action is taking place at the time of speaking
1.2 an action done regularly or habitually
1.3 an action expresses a universal truth or all-time fact

What is it?

Here is a quick overview of time expressions used with specific tenses

including examples and explanations. When speaking about an action that is
repeated EVERY Saturday, Monday, etc., use the day of the week, add 's' and
use either the present simple to speak about present routines or the past
simple to discuss past habits.

 Mondays
 Tuesdays
 Wednesdays
 Thursdays
 Fridays
 Saturdays
 Sundays

Use the following time expressions to express things that happen during
the day. These expressions can be used with the present forms.

•in the morning

•in the afternoon

•in the evening

•at night

Time Expressions to Use with the Simple Present Tense

Use 'every' with segments of time such as every day, every month, every
year, every two months, etc.
Study the sentences:

Set A Set B
The mobile market goes around The policemen implement the
every day. guidelines of the IATF for the
pandemic regularly.
The president reports the The health officers sanitize the
assessment on COVID 19 every markets every weekend.
month.

Jack tries to exercise on Jen and Che make an adventure

Saturdays. trip every December.

Set A
Subject Verb Time expression
mobile market goes every day
president reports every year
Jack tries Saturdays

Set B
Subject Verb Time expression
policemen implement regularly
health officers sanitize every weekend
Jen and Che make every December

These are example of simple present tense. Use the correct form of verb that
agrees with the subject in number.

The verbs or action words in Set A end in s. The doer of the action or the
subject is singular. In Set B, the verbs or action words are in the simple form.
They don’t end in s and the doer of the action or the subject is plural.

If the actions are done regularly or habitually, the verbs used are in the simple
present tense. They also use time expressions that show habitual action.

D. Assimilation What I have learned?

What is the tense of verb when we use time expression in the present?

If actions are done regularly or habitually, the verbs used are in

the simple present tense. The words today, every morning, and every
afternoon are time expressions in the present tense. They denote that
actions are done regularly.

Other examples of time expressions that show habitual actions

are:

in the morning every other day every

at night twice a year always

during holidays everyday usually

during summer every morning often

once a month every year daily

weekly monthly annually

The simple present tense of the verb is used with singular and plural
nouns.

It is also used with singular and plural pronouns I, he, she it, we,
you, and they.
