    Tens

    The word ‘Tens’ is taken from Latin word which means ‘Time’.

    Tens basically has three kinds.

    And each of those three kinds has been divided into four parts.

    1:- Simple Present Tens:

    Shows an action that happens every, habitually or shows general


    facts.

    Structures:

    Affirmative: Subject + Verb (s/es) + Com

    Interrogative: Do/Does + Verb + Com

    Negative: Subject + Do/Does + Not + Verb + Com

    Examples:

    She studies English.

    She doesn’t study English.

    They play cricket.

    They don’t play cricket.


    He is a boy. (General fact)

    Note:

    If our subject is singular (He, She, And It) our verb takes (s/es). And for
    making negative we use (Doesn’t) after “Subject” before “Verb” and for
    question (Does) at the beginning of the sentence and in both negative and
    question our “Verb” should be on its base form.

    2:- Present Continuous Tens:

    Shows an action which is happening right now or at the moment of


    speaking.

    Structures:

    Affirmative: Subject + to be + Verb-ing + Com

    Interrogative: to be + Subject + Verb-ing + Com

    Negative: Subject + to be + Not + Verb-ing + Com

    Examples:

    He is studying Math.

    Are they working in the bank? Yes they are.


    / No they aren’t.

    We are not watching T.V.

    ! Present Continuous also shows an action which is apparently going


    on but not at the moment of speaking.

    Ex: I am working in a drugstore.


    !! Present Continuous is also used to show future action with future
    time expressions.

    Ex: She is going to Pakistan tomorrow.
