Past, Present and Future
When you are talking or writing you have to think carefully about WHEN something happens.
Verbs (doing words) come in three tenses: past, present, and future. The past is used to describe things that have already happened (e.g., earlier in the day, yesterday, last week, three years ago). The present tense is used to describe things that are happening right now. The future tense describes things that have yet to happen (e.g., later, tomorrow, next week, next year, three years from now).
Example: PAST: I ate a sandwich yesterday.
PRESENT: I am eating a sandwich.
FUTURE: I will eat a sandwich tomorrow
( the verb = ate, eating and eat )
