Verb Tenses

 WE are your Fairies who will teach you the diffrent Tenses of the VERB.

   English requires a thorough understanding of how verbs are used. Even the best speakers and writers sometimes have some troubles in choosing the appropriate or correct form of a verb for a sentence. For an instance, how often have you heard "I sung the song" instead of "I sang the song"?

   My students, together with Princess Lila are now about to study and learn the variety of verb forms and the way verbs are used to express time.

   But, we first have to know what a verb is.

3.   Verb Tenses

   An important use of the verb is to indicate when something happens. It is the tense of a verb that tells you if something is happening right now , was happening at some time in the past or will be happening at some time in the future.

   There are two ways in forming the past tense of the verb. Here is a site that will teach more about it.
