Action, doing and being words are called

verbs.

Verbs have forms called tenses that tell us

when the action happens.

There are three forms of tenses. Present

Tense, Past tense, Future Tense

 KEYWORDS

1. Simple Present Tense- mostly used to express

actions that happen regularly.
2. Present Continuous Tense- used to express an
ongoing action in the present.

TIME FOR ACTION
You have to share about things that a member of
your family does everyday. You may use time
words, such as every day, always, usually, and
sometimes.
Example- My mother wakes up at 6a.m. every day.

After that, make sentences about what your family

words such as at the moment, right now, and so
on.
