sentences using appropriate grammatical
structures (verb tenses, conjunctions,

Compose Clear and Coherent Sentences
Using Appropriate Grammatical
Structures (Verb Tenses): Simple Tenses
of Verbs.
"Simple tense" is a category of verb tense. It
covers the simple past tense, the simple
present tense, and the simple future tense.
Let us take the examples above. Take note of
the time expression.
Jane walked to the market yesterday.
Sheena walks to school today.
Mae will walk to visit her friend tomorrow.
The three simple tenses express facts or
habitual activities. Unlike the other tenses, the
simple tenses describe actions without
specifically stating whether the actions are
completed or on going.
Uses of Simple Tenses
Here is an explanation of how the three simple
tenses are used:
The Simple Present Tense. The simple present
tense is a complex tense.
Be aware that the "simple present tense" is an
oddity. Despite its name, it is not always about
activities in the present. The simple present
tense can be used for activities that are not
currently happening, and it can be used for
future events. It is used:
1. To describe facts and habits. For example:
He plays chess.
2. To describe scheduled events in the future.
For example:
The plane lands in 5 minutes.
3. To tell stories (particularly jokes). For
example:
He asks the policeman for directions.
4. To describe facts and habits. For example:
Angela runs a youth club full of glue-sniffers.
(Fact)
I ride horses in the summer. (Fact and habit)
5. To describe scheduled events in the future.
For example:
The train arrives at 5 o'clock.
6. To tell stories (particularly jokes) to make
your listener or reader feel more engaged with
the story. For example:
We heard the helicopter overhead. Suddenly,
the radio bursts into life.
EXAMPLES:
Megan copies his assignment now.
Josh and Jane copy their assignment today.
Leya is in the house this day.
They are offering gifts yearly.
Xandria has a new collection of BTS always.
I have fresh roses every morning.
She does not accept your offer everyday.
We do good always.
The Simple Past Tense. The simple past tense
describes a completed activity that happened
in the past. In other words, the activity started
in the past and ended in the past. For example:
John baked a cake yesterday.
They painted the fence last month.
Here is an infographic explanation of the
simple past
The future form of the verb is used on the
following:
1. Describe a simple action in the future
She will write an e-mail after lunch.
I am going to bake a chocolate moist cake
tomorrow.
2. Make prediction
In the year 2025, all students will have their
own computers in school.
It is very gloomy since this morning. It will
probably rain later.
3. Give warning
Don’t lift that table. You will hurt yourself.
If you don’t give us high grades this quarter, we
are going to cut your allowance.
Here is an infographic explanation of the simple
future tense:
Sayus will give you a surprise song tomorrow.
I shall do good deeds next week.

I am going to do good deeds next week.

She is going to prepare something new later.
They are going to graduate by June.
