Review
PAST TENSE
 The past tense of regular verbs is made by
adding -d or -ed to the base form of the verb,
while those of irregular verbs are formed in
various different ways (such as see→saw,
go→went, be→was/were). With regular and
some irregular verbs, the past tense form also
serves as a past participle.
SIMPLE PAST TENSE: EXAMPLES
 I worked yesterday.
 Rodrigo was here a moment ago.
 Karen sat on the bench.
 Jahir got his driver license last week.
 We studied for the midterm.
HOW TO PRONOUNCE…
SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE
 The PRESENT TENSE uses the verb's base form
(write, work), or, for third-person singular subjects,
the base form plus an -s ending (he writes, she
works). The PRESENT TENSE indicates that an
action is present, now, relative to the speaker or
writer.
SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE
 I study for the exam.
 She goes to the gym.
 Norma is an excellent student.
 Jerome and Jess are in the lobby.
 They get new badges.
FUTURE TENSE
FUTURE TENSE
 In grammar, a future tense is a verb form that
generally marks the event described by the verb
as not having happened yet, but expected to
happen in the future. An example of a future
tense form is the French aimera, meaning "will
love", derived from the verb aimer ("love").
