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 three main verb tenses are past tense, present tense, and future tense.

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.'
