“Let us first define verb. What is a verb?” being.”
“Very good.”

“Verbs are words that show action while tense is

the form of the verb that shows when the action
takes place.”

“We have three simple tenses of the verb, the

Simple Past Tense, Simple Present Tense and
Simple Future Tense.”

Simple Past Tense

Simple past tense is used to talk about a

completed action. It is formed by using the past
form of the verb.

Examples:
I talked to my father yesterday.
My dog barked a while ago.
She ate with me yesterday.

Simple Present Tense

Simple present tense indicates that an action is

present. Generally, it is used to describe actions
that are factual or habitual- things that occur in
the present but not necessarily happening right
now. It is formed by using the present/base form
of the verb.

Examples:
It rains a lot in Portland.
I use my bike to get around town.
The program starts at 8:00 am.

Simple Future Tense

The simple future tense indicates that an action is

in the future. It is formed by using the helping
verb will and the base form of the verb.

Examples:
I will eat lunch with you later.
We will pass the project tomorrow.
The bus will arrive later.
