• 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).

See how the sentences are corrected:

Incorrect: My arm is hurting when I went in to see the doctor.

Correct: My arm was hurting when I went in to see the doctor.

Incorrect: I love to play the piano as a young girl, and continue to play as an adult.

Correct: I loved to play the piano as a young girl, and continue to play as an adult.

Incorrect: I would not have taken the first exit if I know the second exit brought me closer to my destination.

Correct: I would not have taken the first exit if I knew the second exit brought me closer to my destination.

Incorrect: The professor was considering retirement until he find out he could not afford it.

Correct: The professor was considering retirement until he found out he could not afford it.

Incorrect: She became a mother when she will have been twenty-five years old.

Correct: She became a mother when she was twenty-five years old.

Incorrect: Her mother told her to clean her room, but she is walking out of the house.

Correct: Her mother told her to clean her room, but she was walking out of the house.

Types of tenses in English Grammar with examples ppt

English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and its grammar can be challenging for many people, especially for those who are non native English speakers. One of the main aspects of English grammar that can be particularly challenging is understanding the different types of grammar tenses. In this particular blog we will discuss the different types of tenses in English grammar and provide examples to help you understand how to use them correctly.

What are the tenses in English grammar?

Tenses are used to point the time when the action or the event takes place. Mainly there are three tenses in English grammar: past, present & future. Each set of tenses has its own set of rules and structures that must be followed to get the grammar correct.

Click here to get the PPT

Types of Tenses in English Grammar:

1. Present tense

The present tense is used to describe an action or event that is happening now or at the present time. It is also used to describe a habit or a general truth.

Simple Present Tense: Used to describe a habitual action or a general truth, for example, "I eat breakfast every day" or "The sun rises in the east."

Present Continuous Tense: Used to describe an action that is currently happening at the present time, for example, "She is studying for her exams."

Present Perfect Tense: Used to describe an action that happened at an unspecified time in the past and has continued up to the present time, for example, "I have lived in this city for five years."

Present Perfect Continuous Tense: Used to describe an action that started in the past and is still continuing up to the present time, for example, "I have been studying English for three years."

2. Past tense:

The past tense is used to describe an action or event that has already happened in the past.

Simple Past Tense: Used to describe an action that happened at a specific time in the past, for example, "I saw a movie yesterday."

Past Continuous Tense: Used to describe an action that was in progress in the past, for example, "I was watching TV when the phone rang."

Past Perfect Tense: Used to describe an action that was completed before another past action, for example, "I had finished my homework before I went to bed."

Past Perfect Continuous Tense: Used to describe an action that had been in progress for a period of time before another past action, for example, "She had been practicing her piano for two hours before she went to bed."

3. Future Tense

The future tense is used to describe an action or event that will happen in the future.

Simple Future Tense: Used to describe an action that will happen in the future, for example, "I will meet you at the airport tomorrow."

Future Continuous Tense: Used to describe an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future, for example, "They will be flying to Europe next week."

Future Perfect Tense: Used to describe an action that will be completed before a specific time in the future, for example, "I will have finished my work by 6 pm."

Future Perfect Continuous Tense: Used to describe an action that will have been in progress for a period of time before a specific time in the future, for example, "They will have been studying English for two years by next summer."
