What is a Verb Tense?

Verb tenses show when an action happens: past, present or future. We use them to talk about things we did, are doing, or will do!

Explanation

Negative & Question

Negative: She does not play football. Question: Does she play football?

Simple tenses talk about facts, routines or completed actions. Example: She plays football. ⚽

2. Continuous Tenses: Ongoing Actions!

Continuous tenses show actions happening right now or around now. Example: I am watching TV. 📺 Negative: I am not watching TV. Question: Am I watching TV?
