Verb Tenses

A verb tense indicates the time of an action or state of being, showing whether it is in the past, present, or future.

The past tense describes actions that have already happened. Example: 'I walked to school.'

The present tense describes actions that are currently happening or are habitual. Example: 'I walk to school.'

The future tense describes actions that will happen later. Example: 'I will walk to school.'

A complete subject includes all the words that tell who or what the sentence is about. Example: 'The small brown dog' in 'The small brown dog barked.'

A simple subject is the main word or words in the complete subject, without any modifiers. Example: 'dog' in 'The small brown dog barked.'

An example is: 'They will play soccer tomorrow.'
