    Verb Tense Review


    The Importance of Time
    Verb tense expresses the time of an event
    or action. Time and how it is expressed in
    writing is very important to English
    readers. The English language has twelve
    different tenses, but only seven of them,
    the most commonly found in a written text,
    will be discussed in this unit.

    Verbs. What is a verb?


    A verb is a word which describes the
    action in a sentence (the doing word)
    Examples
    I play football.
    They skip quickly.
    We eat spaghetti.
    Bob is seven today.

    Verb Tenses
    Verb tenses describe WHEN the action
    is happening.
    PRESENT (its happening NOW.)
    PAST (its ALREADY happened.)
    FUTURE (its ABOUT to happen.)

    Simple Present Tense


    Otherwise known as the

    Timeless Present

    Simple Present Tense is used:


    When you are referring to habitual
    actions--actions that you always or
    never do
    When you are referring to unchanging
    truths
    When you are making general
    statements of fact

    How do we form the simple


    past tense?
    English has two types
    of verbs in the past:
    -regular
    -irregular

    Lets read the following list of


    past tense verbs.. Which are
    regular and which are irregular?

    Walked regular
    Studied regular
    taught
    irregular
    gave
    irregular
    Becameirregular
    cried
    regular
    lived
    regular
    did
    irregular

    Regular verbs are verbs that


    end with -ed
    Simple form verbs: Past tense verbs:
    walk

    walked

    study

    studied

    cry

    cried

    live

    lived

    Do you know the rule for choosing -ed or ied?

    Rules for adding ed:


    Add ed to most verbs
    Drop the e and add ed to verbs that
    end with e (smile= smiled).
    Change the y to i and add ed to
    verbs that end with a consonant and
    y (carry= carried, study= studied).
    Double the consonant and add ed to
    verbs that end with one vowel and one
    consonant ( drag= dragged, stop=
    stopped).

    Irregular verbs are verbs that


    dont end in ed..
    Sometimes with irregular
    past tense verbs you have
    to change the vowel to
    make the verb past tense:
    become
    give
    drive
    forget

    became
    gave
    drove
    forgot

    The Future Tense is


    Used:
    To indicate that an activity or
    event will take place at a time
    in the future

    The Future Tense is
