brave.

me away in fun.

soft as cotton. “I’ll name him Cottonball,” Kaylee said.

ESSENTIAL LANGUAGE
TENSES OF VERBS
 In grammar, tense is a category that expresses time reference with reference to the
moment of speaking. Tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verbs,
particularly in their conjugation patterns. The main tenses found in many languages include the
past, present, and future.
 Verbs come in three tenses: past, present, and future. The past is used to describe
things that have already happened (e.g., earlier in the day, yesterday, last week, three years
ago).The future tense describes things that have yet to happen (e.g., later, tomorrow, next
week, next year, three years from now).
