                     Tenses of Verbs
  1. Simple Present Tense
          Verbs can express time through tenses.
          Verbs in the simple present tense express actions
  that are done everyday or regularly. Everyday, every
  morning, often, once a month, and always are some of
  the expressions used to express simple present tense.
         In sentences, verb should agree with its subject in
  number and in tense. In simple present tense with a
  singular subject, uses the -s form of the verb. A plural
  subject uses the base form of the verb. For verbs ending
  in y, change y to I and add -es.
         Examples:
         1. Mother cooks in the kitchen every morning.
         2. Mother and I cook in the kitchen every morning.
         3. Fly carries germs.
         4. Flies carry germs.
  2. Simple Past Tense of the verb expresses an action
  that happened in the past. Last week, yesterday, early
  this morning, a while ago, a moment ago are some
  expressions that indicate past actions.
        The past tense of regular verb is written in the
  following ways.
  1. Add -ed to the verb.
      Example: wash + -ed = washed
  2. Add -d to the verbs that end with e
      Example: bake + -d + baked

                               3


3. For one syllable -verbs with short vowel sounds, double
the last consonant and add -ed.
    Example: hug + g + ed = hugged
4. For verbs ending in a consonant and y, change y to
    i and add -ed.
      Example: cry – y + i + ed = cried
3. Future Tense of the verb expresses an action that has yet
to happen. The words tomorrow, next week, on Saturday,
and next year are some of the time expressions used to
indicate the future tense. Here are two ways to write in the
future tense.
1. will or shall + base form of the verb
   Examples: 1. Mary will go to the province tomorrow.
                2. We shall take a bus to La Union.
2. be verb + going to + base form of the verb
    Example: They are going to attend online classes.
