three simple tenses: past tense, present tense and future tense.
 Past tense is used to describe an action that happened in the
past. Regular verbs form their past by adding –d or –ed.
Meanwhile, past tense of irregular verbs are expressed by either
changing or not changing their spelling. Time
indicators used are yesterday, last week and two years ago,
among others.
Examples: We visited our grandparents last week.
Jayson submitted his project yesterday.
 Present tense is used to describe an action that is currently
happening. For singular subjects, present forms are expressed by
adding -s, while for plural subjects, the verbs are expressed in its
base form.
Examples: The sun shines brightly.
Jack and Jill love their parents.
 Future tense is used to describe an action that is about to
happen. The commonly used time indicators are tomorrow, next
week and later, to mention a few. The verb is commonly
preceded by the word will.
Examples: Andrei will visit his dentist next week.
Verbs Past Present Future

during the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his 3 fiddle under his
arm, came up and humbly begged for 4 a bite to eat.
“What!” cried the Ants in surprise, “haven’t you stored anything
away for the winter? What in the world were you doing last summer?”
“I didn’t have time 5 to store up any food,” whined the
Grasshopper. “I was so busy making music that before I knew it, the
6 summer was gone.”

The Ants shrugged their 7 shoulders in disgust.


“8 Making music, were you?” they cried. “Very well; now dance!”
And they turned 9 their backs on the Grasshopper and went on their
10 work.
