Explained Simply the Present Tense & Future Tense

When you write in the present tense, you’re telling a story that is happening right now. Here are some tips on using the present tense correctly and examples to illustrate what it looks like. 

When you write, it can be tempting to use the past tense when describing events that have already happened. But using the past tense can often make your writing seem wooden and uninspired. In this article, we’ll show you how to use the present tense to create more lively, engaging prose.

Using the present tense is an important part of grammar and can make your writing more vivid and compelling. In this article, we’ll show you how to use the present tense in your writing, step-by-step.

The present tense describes ongoing events or situations.

Here are a few examples of how to use the present tense correctly:

To use the present tense, you need to know how to:

1. Use the verb form of the present tense (I am, you are, he/she/it is).
2. Add “ing” to the end of the verb (I am singing, you are swimming, he/she/it is preaching).
3. Use appropriate pronouns (I am writing, you are eating, he/she/it is sleeping).

The present tense describes ongoing events or situations. This includes describing what is happening now, as well as talking about future events. For example, you might say “I am eating a sandwich,” or “You are going to get a haircut.”

I am eating ice cream.
You are eating ice cream.
She is eating ice cream.

They are eating ice cream

To use the present tense, you must use the correct verb tense.

The present tense verb tense is the same as the present simple. To use the present tense, you must use the verb “is” or “are.”
The following are examples of how to use the present tense with verbs:
• I am reading.
• They are eating.
• You are sleeping.

• We are working.

To use the past tense, you must use the correct verb tense.

The past tense verb tense is the same as the past simple. To use the past tense, you must use the verb “was” or “were.”
The following are examples of how to use the past tense with verbs:
• I was reading.
• They were eating.
• You were sleeping.
• We were working.

The present tense is good to go with regular verbs, as well as irregular verbs.

Regular Verbs: I am eating. You are eating. He is eating. We are eating. You are eating. They are eating.
Irregular Verbs: I am not eating. You are not eating. He is not eating. We are not eating. You are not eating. They are not eating.

To make sure your sentence sounds correct, practice using the present tense with a friend or family member.

For example, if you want to say “I am going to the store,” you would say, “I am going to the store.” If you want to say, “You are going to the store,” you would say, “You are going to the store.”

Here are a few more examples:

• I am studying Spanish.

• He is writing a paper.

• She is baking cookies.

Talking about the Past

The past is a time long gone and we can’t change it. But we can learn from it and use what we learned to make the future better. Here are some tips for using the present tense correctly:

1. Make sure you are using the correct verb form. The most common verbs in the present tense are “to be,” “to have,” and “to do.” There are also some irregular verbs.
2. Be specific. When describing what someone is doing, use specific verbs like “is eating” or “is writing.” It’s harder to misinterpret a sentence if you provide more information about what is happening.
3. Keep it simple. Don’t try to complicate your sentences with unnecessary words or clauses. Keep them simple and to the point so that people can understand you easily.
4. Use pronouns correctly. When referring to someone specifically, use their name or pronoun (he, she, it). If you are talking about everyone in general, use “they.” Pronouns can also be used in place of other

Talking about the future

The present tense is a verb tense that is used to indicate an action that is currently taking place. When talking about the future, you should use the future tense. The following are examples of how to use the present tense correctly:

I am eating lunch.
You are eating lunch.
He/she/it is eating lunch.

I will be eating lunch.
You will be eating lunch.
He/she/it will be eating lunch.

Talking about something that happened previously

In English, we use the present tense to talk about something that has already happened. This can be a little tricky to get right, but here are some tips to help you out:

• To use the present tense, you need to use the verb “to be” (e.g. I am, you are, he is).
• The main rule is to use the same verb for both the past simple and past continuous forms (e.g. I was, you were, he was).
• If you want to say “I have,” “you have,” or “he has” in the present tense, add “has” at the end of the verb (e.g. I have, you have, he has).

Talking about tenses and which one use. 

The present tense is used to talk about things that are happening right now. Past tense for things that happened in the past. Future tense for the things that will happen in the future.

When it comes to talking about tenses, there are three main ones that you will hear most often: past, present, and future. Each of these has its own set of rules that you need to follow in order to make your conversation sound correct. Here is a guide on how to use each one:

Past tense: The past tense is used to talk about events that have already happened. For example, you might say “We went to the park yesterday.” In this sentence, we is referring to the speaker and went is referring to the event that took place in the past–the past tense.

Present tense: The present tense is used when something is happening right now. For example, you might say “I am writing a paper.” In this sentence, I am refers to the speaker, writing is referring to the action of creating a piece of writing, and the present tense is being used because the paper is being written right now.

Future tense: The future tense is used to talk about events that will happen in the future. For example, you might say “She is going to be a doctor.” In this sentence, she is referring to the speaker, going is referring to the event that will take place in the future (she will become a doctor), and the future tense is being used because it is unknown when this event will actually take place.
