LET’S RECAP! • A verb tense tells you when the action happens. • There are three main verb tenses; past, present and future. • Each tense is divided into; simple, perfect, progressive and perfect progressive.

SIMPLE TENSES Formation Examples “ Past For regular verbs, simply add “ed” at the end of the verb Zain home for lunch. (walk) Present Add s for he, she and it Leave the verb in the base form for I, we they and you. Ghina to ballet every Saturday. (go) Future Always add will You the or shall to form a exam. (pass) verb phrase

PERFECT TENSES Formation Examples “ Past Had + verb+ed Zain home for lunch. (walk) Present has+verb+ed Have+verb+ed Ghina ballet (go) Future Will or shal+have+ verb+ ing You the exam before showed up. (pass) to Perfect tenses are always verb phrases. The helping verb in the phrase is always a form of verb to have. Basically write the verb using the past participle. The form of verb to have changes depending on the tense.

PROGRESSIVE FORM • Progressive forms indicate a continuing action • It tells the reader that the action is taking place now • The action is in progress– hence the name • In progressive forms we use the present participle: verb to be + verb+ing • To make it simpler, I am going to categorize the 6 progressive forms into 2 parts: simple progressive and perfect progressive

A PROGRESSIVE FORM OF SIMPLE TENSES Formation Examples “ Past progressive Was+verb+ing Zain home Were+ verb +ing for lunch. (walk) Present progressive Am+verb+ing Is+ verb+ing Were+verb+ing Ghina to ballet every Saturday. (go) Future progressive Will be+ verb+ing You the exam. (pass)

(pass) I added verb to have according to the tense with the word been and ended the verb with -ing
