ABSTRACTION
There are three Simple Aspects of the Verbs: Simple Present, Simple
Past, and Simple Future.

Study the chart below that shows the forms and some examples of the simple
aspects of the verb.

Tense Form Example

base (for plural subject) walk, write
Present
-s (for singular subject) walks, writes
-ed (regular verb) walked
Past
Irregular verb wrote
will + base form of the verb will walk
Future
be verb + going to + base form of the verb is/are/am going to write

A. The Simple Present Tense of the Verb

✔ The simple present is a verb tense used to talk about conditions or actions
happening now, habitual actions and occurrences, facts and generalizations.
We use the -s form of the verb if the subject is singular. Simply add -s or -
es to the base form of the verb.

Examples:
Noah speaks English very well.
Pearl calls her teacher for clarifications in the module.

Note that we add -es to the verbs ending in o, sh, ch, ss, x, z and words that
end with a consonant + y.

Examples:
Brent catches colds after he played under the rain.
Joy mixes the medicine with water so that it will have a better taste.
Jacob worries that he cannot finish his modules on time.

✔ We use the base form of the verb if the subject is plural.

Examples:
Ivan and Roy help their father in making dog cage.
Mangroves serve as natural filters against pollution.
 ✔ We also use the base form of the verb for pronouns “I” and “You”

Examples:
I love to drink milk.
You clean the room now.

✔ In addition, be verbs “is” is used for singular subject, “are” for plural
subject, and “am” for the pronoun “I”.

The present tense of the verb is used in the following:

a. To state definitions and explanations
Example: Tsunami is a long high sea wave cause by an earthquake,
submarine landslide, or other disturbances.
b. To show present condition
Example: I live in Sibulan, Negros Oriental.
c. To express habitual action
Example: Brent plays basketball every Saturday.
d. To tell a natural law
Example: The sun is the center of the solar system.

In the present tense of the verb, we may use the time expressions such as today,
every day, every week, every morning, always, etc.

B. The Simple Past Tense of the Verb

 ✔ The past tense of the verb is used for events that happened at a specific
time in the past.

Study the table below. What is the difference between the verbs in column A
and column B?
A B
Present Past Present Past
float, floats Floated fight, fights fought
pack, packs Packed leave, leaves left
save, saves saved make, makes made

✔ The words in column A are regular verbs because they use -ed form to
express past tense.

To form the past tense, simply add -d to the verbs that end with letter “e”.

Examples:
1. dance – danced
Alliyah danced gracefully during the school program.
2. behave – behaved
The children behaved well during the mass.

Add -ed to the verbs that end in consonant and consonant + y.

Examples:
1. pack – packed
Nina packed her things yesterday for her most awaited vacation.
2. study – studied
Noah studied hard for the long quiz.

The words in column B above are irregular verbs because they form the
past tense in other ways.
Examples:
1. meet – met
My mother met her sister, Gemma, the other day.
2. make – made
Last week, my sister and I made a birthday surprise for our
mother.
 Do you notice the italicized words in the sentence? They are called time
expressions. Other than these, you may also use last weekend, a month ago, last
year, this morning, etc.

✔ Lastly, do not forget that there are irregular verbs that do not change the
spelling when using its past form.
Examples:
1. hurt – hurt
My pet cat hurt her leg when she jumped from the bed this
morning. 2. hit – hit
My classmate hit me in the arm with his ball yesterday.

Here are the common irregular verbs.

Base Form Past Form Base Form Past Form Base Form Past Form
begin began drive drove lead led
bend bent eat ate leave left
beat beat fall fell let let
bet bet feel felt lie lay
bid bid fight fought lose lost
blow blew forget forgot mean meant
break broke forgive forgave pay paid
bring brought get got put put
broadcast broadcast give gave read read
build built go went ride rode
buy bought grow grew ring rang
catch caught hang hung rise rose
come came have had run ran
choose chose hear heard say said
cut cut hold held sell sold
dig dug keep Kept send sent
do did know knew sing sang

Base Form Past Form Base Form Past Form Base Form Past Form
stand stood tear tore understand understood
wake woke win won write wrote
feed fed become became burn burnt
deal dealt bind bound burst burst
fly flew freeze froze flee fled
bite bit lend lent quit quit
swear swore shake shook see saw
 wear wore shine shone steal stole

C. The Simple Future Tense of the Verb

✔ There are two ways of telling about future actions in English.

1. will + base form of the verb
Examples:
a I will bake a cake for Mom’s birthday on Saturday.
b Jane will sing during the class program tomorrow.
c The Grade Five pupils will dance on Teachers’ Day celebration next week.

2. be verb + going to + base form of the verb

Examples:
1. Philip is going to learn how to play the guitar next weekend.
2. Lucille and Kristina are going to practice for their contest on Friday.
3. I am going to teach you about our lesson later.
Note that we use the be verbs “is” is used for singular subject, “are” for plural
subject, and “am” for the pronoun “I”.

✔ The future form of the verb is used on the following:

a. Describe a simple action in the future Examples:

1. She will write an e-mail after lunch.
2. I am going to bake a chocolate moist cake tomorrow.

b. Make prediction
Examples:
1. In the year 2025, all students will have their own computers in
school.
2. It is very gloomy since this morning. It will probably rain later.

c. Give warning
