Tenses

Tenses

Tense tells us when an action happens through the use of different forms of verbs.

Examples :
  • I eat porridge.
  • She played football.
  • He will sleep.
Tenses are three - Present, Past and Future.
  • Simple present tense expresses present action that we almost do daily as a habit. We use first form of the verb in this tense. In above example - I eat porridge, 'eat' is the first form of the verb that shows, the sentence expresses 'Present time'.
  • Simple past tense expresses past action. Second form of the base form is used. In the above sentence ' She played football', ' played' is the second form of the verb 'play'. 'Played' denotes past time.
  • Simple future tense expresses future action. 'Will + first form of the verb' together do this job. In the third sentence - He will sleep, 'will sleep' shows that this sentence is used for future action.
