Verb tenses revision 1

Until now we have seen the following verb tenses:

  • Present simple and continuous
  • Past simple and continuous
  • Present perfect
  • Future tenses: will, be going to


Therefore, you should be able to use them correctly so as to move onto the next step: reported speech, passive voice or conditional sentences

However, in case you do not know them yet, check this webpage where you can find clear explanations about when and how to use them, plus some useful exercises on them.

And., if you feel you need some more exercises, follow these links and browse the net for more practice until you can say that these tenses have nothing to hide from you :)


Finally, if you feel you already know everything, you can still find below some example-sentences of how to form these tenses:

  • Present simple: Water freezes at -0ºC
                               I don't like watching horror films
                               
                               How often do you visit your grandparents?

  • Present continuous: I'm studying verb tenses right now
                                      He's not working hard enough in verb tenses
                                      
                                      Are you doing the suggested exercises?

  • Past simple: I went to the cinema last weekend
                           You didn't check the blog last week

                                 Was your mother cooking dinner at 3pm yesterday?

  • Present perfect: I've lived in this house for 15 years
                                We haven't studied English so we'll fail the exam.
     
                                Have you ever been to Florida?

  • Future tenses --> will: I'll be 23 tomorrow
                                         It won't rain until next week

                                         Will she arrive on time?
                          
                              --> be going to: He's going to get married in a year's time.
