• When writing, it is important to be consistent in verb tense usage.
  • There are three basic forms of verb tenses: past, present, and future. Simple and Perfect forms of these verbs are also used.
  • The simple form of a verb demonstrates an action that has a specific time duration.
  • The action has occurred, is going on now, or will happen in the future.
  • The perfect form of a verb is used to show variations in time.
  • These variations include ongoing events, a sequence of events, or events that have a continued effect on a situation.
  • Perfect tenses include the past, present, or future form of “have” plus the past tense form of the verb.

Each example is followed with an explanation of what the sentence means.

  • Simple Past tense:

I jogged to my car.

I jogged to my car and stopped when I got there. The action occurred and ended, and no other events occurred at the same time.

  • Past Perfect tense:

I had jogged to my car only to realize I forgot my keys in the office.

I jogged to my car and stopped, but another event (realizing I forgot my keys) occurred directly after the first action.

  • Simple Present tense:

I jog to my car.

I jog at a certain point in time and stop. No other actions take place at this time.

  • Present Perfect tense:

I have jogged to my car.

I have jogged to my car in the past and the action continues to occur; other actions may take place at the same time.

  • Future tense:

I will jog to my car.

I will jog to my car in the future. The action will begin and end during a specific time period.

  • Future Perfect tense:

I will have jogged to my car.

At some point in the future I will jog to my car, and other actions may occur at the same time or after the action.

Changing the bold verb to the tense indicated in parentheses:

(Notice how the verbs in the sentence are consistent in tense.)

  • She talk__________ (future tense) to her professor about when her paper is due.
  • Because she lived alone in an apartment building, she locks____________ (simple past) her doors every night.
  • I arrive at the end of the trail and realize I jogged _____________ (present perfect) five miles.
  • He got home from the grocery store and realized he spent___________ (past perfect) too much money.
  • We ate ________________ (simple present) breakfast with our family every morning.
  • After completing this month, I worked _________________ (future perfect) twenty-five years for this hospital.

have jogged

will have worked

You will often use progressive and conditional verb tenses in writing.

  • The progressive tense is used to discuss an action that is, has, or will be in the process of occurring.
  • These can found in past, present, or future tense.
  • Conditional tenses are used to describe an action that depends on another action taking place.
  • The word “would” is used to form this phrase.
  • You will often find “if” clauses in these sentences.
  • Conditional tenses are not used to make predictions or state facts.

Progressive tense:

  • She was eating ice cream when her parents came home from work.

Past Progressive : The action happened in the past, and continued to happen when another action occurred.

  • Your constant encouragement is helping me while I go through this difficult time.

Present Progressive : The encouragement is going on at the same time as another action, and continues to occur.

  • Our professor will be giving a test next week.

Future Progressive : The action has not occurred yet, but will occur in the future at a certain point in time.

Conditional tense:

  • If I were in your shoes, I would study for the test before taking it.

Provided that one condition is true (I am in your shoes), another action will occur (I would study). The action test has not occurred yet, but is going to.

  • If I had a better understanding of the consequences, I would have thought more before taking action.

This is similar to the above sentence (an action would occur based on a condition), but the action has already occurred and the writer is reflecting back on it.

 _______________ My doctor will be leaving for France at the end of the month.

_______________ When the teacher turned the other way, she was cheating on the test.

_______________ I tried to tell her that if I were she, I would take the extra work hours.

_______________ You are driving me crazy by tapping your foot on the floor.

 _______________ If she knew the shoes were cheaper at the other store, she would have waited until Saturday to pick them up.

_______________ As he walked into the room, she was cleaning his mess up.

Progressive

Conditional

Sometimes in writing, it is necessary to shift verb tenses. It is important to understand how to do this so you do not confuse your reader.

Keeping a few simple things in mind, you will be able to communicate accurately a timeline of events to your reader…

  • Try to stay in the same tense throughout the sentence. This includes variations of the tenses, such as simple, perfect, or progressive.
  • Make the order of events clear. Perfect tenses often come before simple tenses.
  • You may move forward in time within the sentence if it is necessary to change tenses (past to present or future, present to future).
  • Only move backward in time if it makes sense.
  • I was walking the dog when she stopped to ask me for directions.

Past progressive and past tense are illustrated here.

A continuous action (walking the dog) is interrupted by an action that occurred once (she stopped to ask directions).

  • He has been playing baseball for ten years, and is still playing today. 

Past perfect and present progressive are illustrated here.

An action that began in the past (playing baseball) continues to the present (still playing).

  • Susan did her homework last week, and will do it this week as well.

Past tense and future tense are illustrated here.

An action occurred once in the past, and it is going to occur again (once) in the future).

  • She is writing an article about what happened during the game.

Present progressive and past tense are illustrated here.

A continuous action is occurring in the present, and something in the past is related to this event (the game).

  • English Grammar

Present tense

Level: intermediate

There are two tenses in English: past and present.

The present tense is used to talk about the present and to talk about the future .

There are four present tense forms:

We can use all these forms:

  • to talk about the present:
London is the capital of Britain. He works at McDonald’s. He is working at McDonald's. He has worked there for three months now. He has been working there for three months now.
  • to talk about the future:
The next train leaves this evening at 17.00. I'll phone you when I get home. He is meeting Peter in town this afternoon. I'll come home as soon as I have finished work. You will be tired out after you have been working all night.

Level: advanced

We can use present forms to talk about the past:

  • when we are telling a story:
Well, it 's a lovely day and I 'm just walking down the street when I see this funny guy walking towards me. Obviously he 's been drinking , because he 's moving from side to side …
  • when we are summarising something we have read, heard or seen:
I love Ian Rankin's novels. He writes about this detective called Rebus. Rebus lives in Edinburgh and he 's a brilliant detective, but he 's always getting into trouble. In one book, he gets suspended and they tell him to stop working on this case. But he takes no notice …

Why does it say only two tenses? What about future tense? Isn't that a tense?

Hi SurajBeka,

Actually, no, it isn't! Technically speaking, a "tense" is a verb form which shows the time of the action, e.g. play - present, played - past. The important thing is that it is a verb form - that is, the base verb is modified e.g. by adding "ed" to make the past tense. 

However, to talk about the future, we do not change the base verb, but instead add another verb: will play . Since the verb "play" itself isn't modified, this means that "will play" is not a tense. Instead, we can more properly call it a future form, the "will" future, the future with "will" or something similar.

That said, it is quite common for teachers and materials to call "will" + verb the future tense, for convenience when teaching and explaining. But as I've explained, that is not a technically correct description.

I hope that helps!

LearnEnglish team

Hello, Coould you please help me to understand why we use present simple in this sentence After Howard finishes his studies he intends to work in his father's company. And can we make this sentence like this: Howard intends to work in his father's company after he will finish his studies

Hi .Mariia,

It's because of "after". The present simple is used to indicate a future action/situation in subordinate clauses with "after", "when", "before", "until", "as soon as", "if", "provided that" and some other conjunctions of time. For example:

  • When I arrive, I'll call you.  (not "when I will arrive")
  • I'll stay with you until you leave.  (not "until you will leave")
  • If it rains later, I'll cancel the trip.  (not "if it will rain")

The meaning of your final sentence is perfectly understandable but grammatically, it should be "... after he finishes his studies". I hope that helps to understand it!

Thank you, Jonathan Your explanation really helps me to understand it

Hello, everybody. I would like to know if it is correct to add the word "tense" after names such as "Present Simple", "Present Continuous", "Past Simple, Past Continuous" etc. Is it correct to say the "Present Continuous Tense", for example? Also, is it correct to say that there are six simple and six continuous tenses in English? Is the word "tense" correctly used here? All the best, MarBe

Hi MarBe,

It's an interesting question, and one that isn't as easy to answer as it may seem!

A tense can be defined technically as a type of verb conjugation that expresses time. When linguists analyse language, this is what they mean when they say "tense". For this reason, at the top of this page it says that English has only two tenses, present and past (e.g. work - worked ). Future actions are expressed using modal verbs (e.g. "will") or other structures (e.g. "going to"), so these aren't considered tenses because they don't involve verb conjugation. The same goes for structures such as continuous and perfect structures (these are called aspects, and they are made by adding auxiliary verbs rather than conjugating).

However, that is a technical definition. In more everyday discussions of language, as well as in English learning materials, people often use "tense" with a looser and wider meaning, including all of the structures mentioned above. Although it's technically incorrect to call "I will go ..." the future tense, for example, it's common for materials, teachers and students to do so.  

So I guess the answer to your question depends on how technical you need to be. Does that make sense?

Dear team, I wonder if you tell me the difference between the present continuous and 'll when they are used to refer to the future. For example: You're having a fever! Put on your coat and I'm taking you to see a doctor( or I'll take you to see a doctor). Also, I wonder if 'would take' works here. All the best Jones

Thanks for your question! "Will" is the right word here, because "will" is used when you make a decision at the moment of speaking. In this example, it seems like the speaker has only just noticed the other person's fever, so the speaker is making this decision spontaneously.

The present continuous normally shows a future action that has been organised and confirmed, and often it has been organised or confirmed with other people. For example, you could say  I'm taking Jane to see a doctor  if you have already made the doctor's appointment in advance, before the moment that you say this.

You may find our page on Future forms interesting. It has some more explanation and examples. If you have other questions, we welcome you to post your questions on that page.

Hello Teachers,

"Before I sever your head from your body, I ask you again, who are you?" I tell you straight!- not to quarrel with me. Why the writer has written ask you again not am asking you again. Why he uses simple present though it was an ongoing action and also for tell in the second sentence. Could you explain it?

Regards Jitu_jaga

Hello jitu_jaga,

This sounds like an older style of English, such as a Monty Python skit taking place in the middle ages. In older styles, a present simple form is acceptable.

All the best, Kirk LearnEnglish team

Hi sir, Is it possible to use Present tense to talk a thing/one' nature/ attribute even though it/ one has physically disappeared? like someone stands in front of their friend's grave and says " you are my best friend ever" not " you were my best friend ever"

or statements that similar to "Albert Einstein/ Leo is a genius of all time", "Mahamta Gandhi is a figure who everyone respects".

My point is to bring a opinion/ fact that, at least to me, is true to this present

I would say this explanation "when we are summarising something we have read, heard or seen:" is the answer of my problem

Thanks, I looking forward to your respon sir

Hello LittleBlueGreat,

It is possible to use the present simple to speak about general truths, which can include making statements about people who have passed away. In such cases, we're often making statements about their legacies or contributions more than we are about them as people with ordinary lives that they are living at the moment.

If I were standing before a friend's grave and speaking to them, I'd probably say 'You were my best friend ever'; although me speaking to them now means they are still alive for me in one sense, the fact that I'm remembering our time together also makes it clear they are gone. The fact that I'm saying it to them suggests I'm missing them, which means they aren't present. 

But I'm not saying it's impossible to say 'You are my best friend ever' in a situation like this. It's a very personal kind of thing, after all, and so I can't say for sure what someone else might be thinking.

I hope this helps you make sense of it.

All the best, Kirk The LearnEnglish Team

This page explains that there are two tenses in English. present and past. I want to read more about it. please help me.

is there not a future tense in English?

what about: will v1 will be v4 will have v3 will have been v4

Hi Prakash,

It's a good question. First, I should define what a tense is: it is a form of a verb that expresses time . For example,  take  and  took  are the present tense and past tense of the verb take.

Technically speaking,  will take  is not a form of the verb  take , because it is not made by changing the form of  take  itself. Instead, it is made by adding another verb ( will ) which supplies the future time meaning. That's why we can't call  will take  a tense.

However, in common and non-technical speaking, people do commonly say that  will + infinitive verb is the "future tense" (even though from a technical point of view, that term is incorrect).

I hope that helps to understand it.

The LearnEnglish Team

Thank you Jonathan.

Dear team hello, More and more people (are getting divorced)/(getting divorced) every year. Which one is the true answer? Thank you

Hi Hosseinpour,

It should be the first answer, as the present continuous needs the auxiliary verb "be" (here, in the form "are"). Another possible answer not listed here is "get divorced" (present simple).

Hello sir, More and more people (are getting divorced)/(getting divorced) every year. (Every year), can we use "present continuous" to talk about "a fact" such as this? Thank you

Hello Hosseinpour,

Yes, you can use continuous aspect like this. The continuous form emphasises that it is an ongoing process rather than a fixed fact.

Thank you for the help and time.

Hello, Everyone.

Could somebody help me understand why in task "Present Tense 3" the correct answer isn't Present Tense, but Present Perfect?

Thank you in advance.

Hi georgiatavares,

Good question! It's because at the end, the frog means "I've read it", in the present perfect. (That's why the frog shakes his head and rejects all the books that the chicken brought. He's already read them all.) 

The word "read" can be either (1) the present simple form and the imperative, or (2) the past participle. (1) and (2) have the same spelling, but different pronunciation. (2) is pronounced /red/ (the same as the colour). (That's the joke - "read it" sounds similar to the sounds that frogs make, at least to English ears.)

I hope that helps.

Hi there. "Do be careful" or "Be careful" which one is correct? Thanks in advance.

Hi Sajatadib,

Both are OK. The first one is more emphatic than the second one.

The use of tenses here is fine. The first verb ("perceived") is past simple because it describes a completed past event. The other verbs are in the present simple because they describe things that are general statements not fixed to specific points in time.

There is no rule which says that we are limited to a single time reference or verb form in a sentence. It's quite possible to use a past form and a verb form with future reference, for example:

Gene Roddenberry believed that one day humanity will travel beyond our solar system and spread throughout the galaxy.

This is an infinitive form. I'm sure you're familiar with the base form of the infinitive ( to do ), but there are many other forms:

to be done (passive infinitive)

to be doing (continuous infinitive)

to have done (perfect infinitive)

These forms carry the meaning you would expect: continuous forms denote something in progress, perfect forms have a retrospective sense etc. The exact meaning will depend on the context.

As far as your example goes, you could use to arrive and I don't think the meaning changes as the context makes it clear that you are talking about a time up to now. In fact, as the context is clear I think to arrive would be a better choice, stylistically speaking.

Dear team, There are some people who (can view) objects from 6 meters away with the same sharpness that a normal-sighted person (would have to move) in to 4.5 meters to achieve. Why this structure(would have to move) is used? I can not understand the relationship between (can view) and (would have to move). Thank you

The two verbs are not related in time or structure. The first describes the characteristics of certain people; the second describes a hypothetical point of comparison - you can insert an implied if-clause if you wish (...would have to move in to 4.5 metres if they wanted to achieve the same clarity).

You could change the first verb to talk about people in the past ('There were some people who could...') or to predict the existence of people in the future ('One day there will be some people who will be able to...') without changing the second verb form at all.

Peter The LearnEnglish Team

Hello Peter M, Thank you for your help, it was very useful.

Dear team, A new study by Palaeontologists at the University of Southhampton 1.(suggests/has suggested) four bones recently found on the Isle of Wight 2.(belong to / have belonged to) new species of theropod dinosaur, the group that includes Tyrannosaurus rex and modern-day birds. In this test,first part, recently shouts present perfect, but my feelings tell me go with the Present tense. The same issue with part two, also if I use (have belonged to) how will the sentence sound meaning-vice to the listener. Thank you

I too would probably use the present simple form for 1, but there's nothing wrong with using the present perfect form in a news report, for example.

For 2, only the present simple form works. The topic is the bones (which obviously still exist) and what species they are from, not the dinosaur (which is obviously long dead, even if it is a newly discovered species), so a present simple form is best; a present perfect form would sound very odd indeed.

Hope this helps. It's great that you are trying to make sense of texts that you find in your reading -- this is a great way to learn.

Dear Kirk, Now with the explanation, it makes sense. Thank you sir

Dear team, Researchers believe that gold nanoparticles may breathe new life into once-promising drug candidates, in particular, a compound designed to stop the spread of HIV that (was shelved/would be shelved) because of effects. Here (was shelved) is the right answer. Why (would be shelved) can not be the right answer? Thank you

Generally, we don't comment on exercises from elsewhere as we have no control over their quality or accuracy. If you have a question about a task from a book or website then the authors of the task are the people to ask.

In this example, the time reference is past. You are talking about a drug which +was designed+ to do something but which had problems and so was not used (it was +once promising+). The only option with a past time sense is 'was shelved'. The other option ('would be shelved') describes a possible later action.

Dear Peter, Thank you for your time and help.

The first sentence is the present perfect. But, the present perfect isn't usually used if you say the time ( one hour ago ). The past simple is usually used:  I reached school one hour ago . Also, the verb  reach  doesn't take a preposition, so delete 'at'.

The second sentence is correct. But it's the present simple, not the present perfect (i.e. the verb  have  is the main verb, not an auxiliary verb).

Have a look at our Present perfect page for more explanation. I hope it helps :)

Hi Nevı,

Your example would mean that being selected for the school team helps to make the person tall, so it is not correct. What you mean is the other way round, and there are several ways to say it:

Being tall helps with being selected for the school team.
I was selected for the school team. It helps being tall!

In answer to your second question, if you use 'help with' then you don't need 'it'. There is a word 'tallness' but we wouldn't use it in this context. 'Being tall' (as above) or 'Height' is what we would use.

Hello again Nevı,

No, I'm afraid that's not correct. It helps + verb-ing here means 'this is of benefit (in achieving the goal)'.

You are trying to say that technology helps us to find new solutions, so you can say the following:

Technology is improving and it helps us to find new solutions for problems. Technology improving helps us to find new solutions for problems.

If you want to use the construction it helps + verb-ing then you need to remember that is it improvements in technology which help us find new solutions, not the other way round:

We are finding new solutions for problems. It helps having better technology! [having better technology makes it easier to find new solutions]

Hello Fiona,

The writer still has longings in the present.

'Until' is related to a different state: the cake was an object of research (...) and a favourite indulgence  until ... In other words, it is no longer an object of research or a favourite indulgence, but the longings have not gone away.

That depends on how you define 'tense'. The author of this grammar, Dave Willis, followed one tradition in which ' tense ' refers to a single-word verb form, but in most English language teaching contexts, you're right in thinking that people usually refer to 12 tenses. 

We have a page that covers five of the most salient grammatical differences between  British and American English . There are others, but most are minor, and really most of the differences between the two varieties are in the area of vocabulary and pronunciation more than in grammar.

Despite these differences, the two varieties (each of which is actually composed of many different varieties) are very similar and in most cases entirely mutually comprehensible. As someone who grew up in American English but now works mostly with speakers of British English, I can assure you of this from personal experience.

All the best,
