What is It
There are basically three tenses of verbs: past, present, and future. Verb tenses refer to the exact time
the action happened.
The present tense indicates that an action is happening right now, or things that are
continuous.
The present tense uses the verb’s base form or for third-person singular subjects, the base form
plus an -s ending (He walks, she runs)
When the subject is singular, it takes a singular form of the verb in the present tense (-s ending).
For example: Linda writes a speech for her presentation.
However, when the subject is plural, it takes a plural form of the verb in the present tense (base
form). For example: The students prepare for their presentation.
Generally, it is used to describe actions that are factual or habitual things that occur in the
present but are not necessarily happening right now. For example: “It rains a lot in Manila” is a timeless
statement.
The past tense of the verb indicates that action have already happened.
Example: Maria entered a hula hoop contest.
She won a silver medal.
To change the verb in the past tense, you have to determine first whether the verb is regular or
irregular verb.
Regular verbs are changed into past tense by adding -d or -ed
Examples: walk – walked , talk – talked, dance – danced
Irregular verbs are formed by changing their spelling.
Examples: run – ran, sing – sang, win-won
The future tense of the verb indicates that the action will happen in the future. It is formed by using
the helping verbs will or shall with the base form of the verb.
Example: Jen will read War and Peace. It will be hard, but she’s
determined to do it.
We shall overcome this problem.

What’s More

verb tense
Garbage disposal are a problem in the urban areas. Time and again, urban dwellers complained
of the stink, the ugliness and the health hazards posed by piles of uncollected garbage. These trash cans
can cause many illnesses like dengue fever, cholera, typhoid and dysentery. And yet, if the community
can dug a hole in the ground, bury the garbage (especially organic ones) and cover the pit, what
happened? The soil decomposers acts on the garbage and returned the nutrients directly to the soil.
Later on, anything planted in this area thrived very well for the soil to become fertile. Thus, a mountain of
garbage was also a mine of gold.
