 Verb tense expresses when the
action happens. Verbs have
three simple tenses: past tense,
present tense and future tense.
 Three Simple Tenses
The Simple Past Tense
Verb in the past tense tell about actions that already
happened in the past. When you talk of things that
happened in the past, you add -d or -ed to most of the
verbs you use.
Verbs that form their past form by adding -d or -ed
are called regular verbs.
The spelling of some verbs changes when -ed is
added. The following rules will help you.
1. Regular verbs of one syllable that end in a
consonant with a vowel before it, form their
past tense by doubling the consonant before
adding -ed.

Examples:
rob - rob b ed
step- step p ed
2. Regular verbs that end in e, form
their past tense by adding -d.

Examples:

love - love d
race - race d
3. Regular verbs that end in y with a
consonant before it, form their past tense by
changing y to i then adding -ed.
Examples:

cry - cr ied
dry - dr ied
4. Regular verbs that end in y with a
vowel before it, form their past tense
by just adding -ed.

Examples:
play - play ed
stay - stay ed
5. Some words change their spelling when
they form the past tense. These words are
called irregular verbs.

Examples:
see – saw sing – sang
take- took draw - drew
6. Few verbs have the same form in
either the present tense or past
tense.

Examples:
set – set
put – put
We use time expressions in the past when
we talk about things or actions that
happened in the past.

yesterday last year

last week last month

Study the sentences. Notice the

played is an action word
in past form.

school yesterday.

The word yesterday is the time

2. Mother wrote a
letter to my uncle
last month.
The word last month is the time
expression happened in the past.
 The underlined word stopped is

3. The bus stopped a

few minutes ago.
The phrase few minutes ago is the
time expression happened in the

Simple Present Tense
It show action that happens
regularly or habitually. It is used
with singular and plural nouns. It is
also used with singular and plural
pronouns I, he, she, it, we, you and
they.
Examples of time expressions that
show habitual action are:

During holidays twice a year

Simple Future Tense
It indicates an action that will
happen in the future. The future
tense is formed by using the
helping verb “will” or “shall” with
the base form of the verb.
When should we use will and shall?
As a general rule, use 'will' for
affirmative and negative sentences
about the future. Use 'will' for requests
too. If you want to make an offer or
suggestion with I/we, use 'shall' in the
question form. For very formal statements,
especially to describe obligations, use
'shall'.
Example of future time expressions
to express are;

next week next month
