• The Present Tense - indicates what is happening now or present action. It is also used to express habitual action, present general truth and permanent location.
• Ordinary Form - Most verbs use the original form for all subjects except the third person singular which takes a verb ending in S or ES.
• The Progressive Form - This is used to indicate an action going on at the time the statement is made. It is formed by using verb be as helping verb and by adding ing to the original form of the verb.
• Emphatic Form - This emphasizes the action by adding do or does before the original form of the verb. Does is used with a third person singular subject. All other subjects use do.
• The Past Tense - is used to indicate an action that took place at some past time.
• The Ordinary Form - This is used to express something that happened at a specific time in the past by adding ed or d to the original form of the verbs. Such time expressions as yesterday, last night etc. require the use of the ordinary form of past tense.
• Progressive Form - To express an action that was going on in the past when another past action occurred, the progressive form is used by adding the appropriate form of the verb be before the main verb ending in ing.
• The Emphatic Form - To emphasize a past action, add did to the original form of the verb.
• The Past Habitual Action Form - "used to" before the verb (in original form) indicates a habitual action true in the past but no longer at present.
• The Future Tense - tells what will happen in the time to come. This is expressed by adding shall before the verb for first person subjects and will for all other subjects. Another way of expressing future tense is by adding going to before the verb and using a proper helping verb be.
