PAST TENSE
The past tense of many verbs is formed by adding ed.
Examples:
remember + ed = remembered
climb + ed = climbed

If a verb ends in e, drop e before adding ed.

Examples:
phone - phoned
arrive - arrived

If a verb ends in y, change the y to i before adding ed.

Examples:
carry - carried
try - tried

If a verb ends in a short vowel followed by a single consonant, double the final
consonant.
Examples:
trip- tripped
pop - popped

PRESENT TENSE
The present tense verb tells what is happening right now. To form

present-tense verbs, use the plain verbs.

Examples:
We eat.
He servers.
FUTURE TENSE
The future tense verb tells about things that will happen in the future. To form
the future-tense verb, use will/shall before the verb.
Examples:
We will be eating.
Tomorrow we will walk to school.
When you use will, you may also have to add a helping verb and the ending ing.
Tomorrow we will be walking to school.

ACTIVITY: Form groups of 4. Record one person of your group for one or two
minutes .He/she must use past, present and future tenses. You can talk whatever
you want but remember that you have to use the 3 tenses. You must have at least
3 sentences in which the person uses the tenses. Then listen the video and write
down the tenses he/she used. Write in the chart your sentences.
