The document discusses different verb tenses and aspects in English, including how they are used to indicate the time or continuity of actions. It begins by explaining the simple present, past, and future tenses. It then discusses the progressive and perfect aspects. The progressive aspect uses "be + -ing" to indicate continuing actions, and has past, present, and future forms. The perfect aspect uses "have/has + past participle" to relate a past action to the present, and has past, present, and future forms. Finally, it discusses the perfect progressive aspect, which combines the ideas of continuation and completion over time.

2. DAY 1

3. What helps you tell about time in a
sentence?
How do you know that the action or
event mentioned in a sentence
already happened, is still happening,
or will still happen?

5. Today, you shall find out more about verbs,
especially on the aspects of verbs. But first,
you need to remember what verbs are and
their tenses since these will help you
understand the new lesson.
Let’s watch and do some
exercise

7. verb aspect. A verb aspect tells you how the action
expressed by a verb takes place or extends over
time.
There are four main aspects: simple,
progressive, perfect, and perfect
progressive. Since all verbs have
both tense and aspect, all
combinations of tenses and aspects,
such as past progressive and future
perfect, are possible.

8. You have learned previously that
verbs express an action or a state
of being. When they express an
action, verbs often show a physical
manifestation of the action which
you can often see or witness like
eat, jump, or shout.

9. When verbs express a state of being, you will notice
that the verbs are in the form of is, are, was, were,
and these do not directly show a physical action but
describes a state of being or condition.
In addition to the action they
express, you have also seen in your
previous lessons that verbs also
give an idea about the time by
which the action takes place.

10. This action takes place in three different
perspectives of time: present, past, and future.
The verb is in the present tense if the action or
condition, or state of being takes place or exists at
the moment of speaking.
On the other hand, the verb is in the past
tense if the action or condition, or state
of being took place or existed sometime
in the past such as an hour ago,
yesterday, last week

11. The future tense if the
action or condition will
happen in the future such as
later, tomorrow, or next
year.
Let’s try and answer!

12. Directions: Identify the verb or verb phrase in
each sentence. Write the answer in your
notebook.
1. Marcelo sings beautifully.
2. Mark Zuckerberg introduced Facebook.
3. Many students chose to use modules in
studying their lessons.
4. Alita lives in a scrapyard.
5. I will watch your actions from now on.

13. Directions: Copy your answers in Activity 1 in
your notebook. Opposite each verb, write
PRESENT, PAST, or FUTURE. The first one has
been done for you.
1. sings (verb) - PRESENT
2. _____________ - _______________
3. _____________ - _______________
4. _____________ - _______________
5. _____________ - _______________

14. Were you able to identify all the verbs
and the tense correctly?
Remember, the tenses of the verb
indicate the time of action, the
condition of a situation, or state of
being. The form of the verb indicates
present, past, or future time.

15. Directions: Analyze statements A to D in the box and
answer the questions in your notebook.

16. 1. In what way are the sentences above similar?
a. They all use a single verb.
b. They are written in the simple present tense.
c. They express an action which happened in the
past.
d. They express an action or condition at the
present time.

17. 2. Which sentence in the box is different from
the rest?
a. Sentence A b. Sentence B c. Sentence C
d. Sentence D
3. Based on the answer in Number 2, why is this
sentence different?
a. It is written in the present progressive form.
b. It uses a different verb form.
c. It expresses a continuing action.
d. All of the above.

18. DAY 2

20. A verb in the simple aspect relies on a
combination of context and tense to clarify
whether the action is complete or on going.
example: He ate cake.
(The tense tells us this is a
complete action, but it is
unclear whether this was a
habitual action or not.)

22. Verbs in the Simple Aspect
The simple aspect is made up of the
following three simple tenses: the
simple past, the simple present, and
the simple future tenses.

23. Simple Past Tense
What is the simple past tense? The simple past tense
is used to express actions that are completed at any
time (recent or distant past) or for any duration
(length of event).
Examples:
*I walked the dog.
*He played music.
*We painted the house.

24. Simple Present Tense
What is the simple present tense? The simple
present tense is used to express action that is true,
normal, or regular. For regular verbs, add “-s” to the
end of third person singular.
Examples:
*I walk the dog.
*He plays music.
*We paint the house.

25. Simple Future Tense
What is the simple future tense? The simple future
tense is used to express action that will certainly
occur at any time later than now. Add “will” or “shall”
between the subject and the base form of
the verb to create the simple future tense.
Examples:
*I will walk the dog.
*He will play music.
*We will paint the house.

26. Directions: In your notebook, write the underlined
verb or verb phrase under the appropriate column for
the Simple Aspect to match the said verb with the
time or aspect it denotes. The first item has been

slots that night.
TRY 5. Fred _____to get in the concert by
posing as a security guard.
FRY 1. We ___the fish we caught in the lake.
STUDY 2. All of us __ hard for the physics exam.

30. Were you able to supply the right
verbs?
Notice that the Simple Aspect has
three types: simple present, simple
past, and simple future.

31. In each of the following sentences, underline any
verbs that should have –ed or –d endings and
supply the missing letters. Watch for time
expressions (last week, yesterday, years ago)
that indicate past time.

32. 1. The driver ask for the exact fare last week.

34. DAY 3

36. We know that verb tense is
essential in understanding when the
action of the sentence was
performed, but did you know that
there are more ways to express
tense than just past, present, and
future?

37. Perfect aspect is a verb construction
that describes events occurring in the
past but linked to a later time, usually
the present. In English, the perfect
aspect is formed with has, have or had
+ the past participle (also known as the
-en form).

38. Perfect verb tense expresses when
an action was completed, is
completed, or will be completed.
Although this is a small difference,
it is an important one.
While simple verb tense describes when an
action was performed, is performed, or will be
performed,

39. Simple verb tense expresses
the possibility of an action happening
Perfect verb tense expresses
with absolute certainty that the action
will be completed.

40. The Basics of Perfect Verb Tense

41. What is Perfect Verb Tense?
Perfect verb tense is used to show an action that
is complete and finished, or perfected. This tense
is expressed by adding one of the auxiliary verbs
— have, has, or had — to the past participle form
of the main verb.
example:
*I have seen the movie that was
nominated for an Academy Award.

42. Past perfect verb tense is created by
adding have or had to the past participle form of
the verb and is used in four distinct ways:
1. To show completed actions
example:
*I had just finished brushing my cat
when she tore across the yard and
jumped into a mud puddle.

43. 2. To express conditional statements
example: *If she had studied for her exam, she
would have passed.
3. In the form of a question
example: “Have you seen my hairbrush?” Larry
asked Bob anxiously.
4. As a negative
example:He had not missed a single free-
throw since the beginning of the season.

44. How is Present Perfect Verb Tense Use
Present perfect verb tense expresses
an action that occurred at an indefinite
(or unknown) time in the past or an
action that started in the past and is
continuing in the present time.

45. While past perfect verb tense is created by
adding have or had to the past participle form of
the verb, present perfect verb tense is created
by adding have or has to the past participle form
of the main verb.
example:
*The close bond between humans and
dogs has continued to be a common
theme in both literature and movies.

46. How is Future Perfect Verb Tense Use
Future perfect verb tense is formed by
combining the auxiliary verbs will+have with the
past participle form of the verb.
example:
When I turn 21, I will have
visited all fifty states.

47. Directions: Write and classify the underlined
verb phrases in the appropriate column for the
“Perfect Aspect”. The first item has been
