What to Focus On

  • Tenses tell us when an action happens.
  • There are three tenses: Present, Past, and Future.
  • Tense and time are not always the same — present tense can show future action.

  • 'Be' changes form with the subject and tense.
  • Am, is, are → present
  • Was, were → past

  • 'Have' shows possession or is used in perfect tenses.
  • Have → present (I, you, we, they)
  • Has → present (he, she, it)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Present tense always means something is happening right now.

Will and shall are used the same way with all subjects.

Past tense always means the action happened long ago.

Memory Tips

Three main tenses: Present, Past, Future

Present tense: actions happening now

Past tense: actions already done

Future tense: actions yet to happen
