What to Focus On

  • Tense shows the time of the action.
  • There are three main tenses: Present, Past, and Future.
  • The verb form changes to show the tense.
  • Used for actions happening now or general facts.
  • Add 's' or 'es' for singular third person (he, she, it).
  • No 'will' is used in present tense.
  • Used for actions that happened in the past.
  • Regular verbs add 'ed'.
  • Irregular verbs change form (e.g., go → went, eat → ate).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All sentences with 'yesterday', 'last week', or 'ago' must use the past tense verb form like 'goed' or 'eated'.

If a sentence has 'will', the verb after it should be in past tense.

Present tense always means the action is happening right now.

Memory Tips

Three main tenses: Present, Past, Future

Present tense shows actions happening now or general truths

Past tense shows completed actions

Future tense shows actions that will happen
