English has three basic tenses: Past, Present and Future. The tense of the sentence tells us when the action took place.
Present > today e.g. I paint the house.
Past > yesterday e.g. I painted the house.
Future > (tomorrow) e.g. I shall paint the house.
* Irregular verbs follow different rules.
It is further split up into: Simple, Continuous (Progressive) and Perfect (Perfect Progressive).
Verbs can be a bit tricky if you have just started, but with practice, it gets easier!
A great way to practice is to start with a PRESENT SIMPLE sentence: I play tennis.
Now, see if you can change it into the other tenses:
| SIMPLE | CONTINUOUS | PERFECT | |
| Generally | At the moment/ongoing | Already completed | |
| PRESENT | I play tennis. | ||
| PAST | |||
| FUTURE |
