There are three main tenses of verbs: past, present, and
future.
A past tense verb indicates an action that was
completed previously. Regular past tense verbs end in –ed. For example:
He jumped high in the air
before falling to the ground.
Here, "jumped" is the past tense of the verb
"jump".
A present tense verb indicates an action that is
going on right now. The present tense verb is the main form of the verb; the
other forms are built by adding to, deleting from, or changing the present
tense. For example:
He jumps high in the air
before falling to the ground.
Here, "jumps" is the present tense verb.
A future tense verb indicates an action that will be
completed in the future. Most future tense verbs are formed by adding “will”
before the verb. For example:
He will jump high in the air
before falling to the ground.
Here, "will jump" is the future tense of the verb “jump”.
