Tenses of Verb

Answer

1. The man walks with his dog every day.

Verb: walks

Tense: Simple Present

The verb walks is in its simple present tense because the action is being done regularly. The form of the verb is written by using the base or root form plus -s or -es, depending on the singularity or plurality of the noun/subject.

2. My mother cooked chicken adobo yesterday.

Verb: cooked

Tense: Simple Past

The verb cooked is in its simple past tense because the action was done yesterday. It is already finished. The form of the verb is written by adding -d or -ed to its base/root word. Other verbs are written by changing the spelling or some of their letters.

3. He will pour honey on his "salabat" later.

Verb: will pour

Tense: Simple Future

The verb will pour is in its simple future tense because the action of pouring will be done in the future. It is still not happening at the moment. The form of the verb is written by adding "will" before the base/root word of the verb.

4. Her sister bakes chocolate cakes every once a week.

Verb: bakes

Tense: Simple Present

The explanation is the same with No. 1.

5. They talk so loudly when they discuss pandemic issues.

Verb: talk

Tense: Simple Present

The explanation is similar to No. 1. The difference is that the verb is used to present an action that is currently happening. Note that when an action is either happening at the moment or happens regularly (e.g. every day, once a week), the tense of the verb is simple present tense.

Here is a short explanation about verb tenses.

$\huge \text{Verb Tenses}$

We have three main tenses of the verb: present, past, and future. Each consists of three subsets which are shown below. A verb is given as an illustration of how each tense works.

Verb: read (Pronunciation: rēd, sounds like "rid")

Present Tense

Simple Present: $\green{\text{read/reads}}$ (Pronunciation: rēd, sounds like "rid")
Present Continuous: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{am\ reading}}...}$
Present Perfect: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{have\ read}}...}$
Present Perfect Continuous: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{have\ been\ reading}}...}$

Past Tense

Simple Past: $\green{\text{read}}$ (Pronunciation: red, like the color red)
Past Continuous: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{was\ reading}}...}$
Past Perfect: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{had\ read}}...}$
Past Perfect Continuous: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{had\ been\ reading}}...}$

Future Tense

Simple Future: $\green{\text{will read}}$ (Pronunciation: rēd, sounds like "rid")
Future Continuous: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{will\ be\ reading}}...}$
Future Perfect: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{will\ have\ read}}...}$
Future Perfect Continuous: $\green{\text{I}\ \underline{\text{will\ have\ been\ reading}}...}$

Aenah If that is the case, just remove the "simple" word before the tenses. It's just the same.
