Rules and Points to Remember When Using the Simple Present Tense

In order to use the simple present tense accurately and effectively, there are some rules and points you have to keep in mind. This is because of the fact that the sentence or the context would not make sense if the verb does not agree with the subject in the sentence. The first thing that you should understand about the simple present tense is that the verb mostly appears in the base form. This changes when a third-person pronoun or subject is used in a sentence. In this case, the verb used should be made plural.

PRESENT CONTINOUS

When to Use the Present Continuous Tense

Use the present continuous tense with the appropriate “to be” verb and a dynamic verb. A dynamic verb shows action and/or process. For example,Scott’s little sister is arriving at the diner two hours late because her roller-derby team, Chicks Ahoy, won the national championships early today. As she is walking into Polly’s Pancake Diner, she is yelling goodbye to her friends outside, and Scott hopes she doesn’t cause a scene since she is always embarrassing him in public.

When Not to Use the Present Continuous Tense

Do not use the present continuous tense with stative verbs. Stative verbs show a state of being that does not show qualities of change. These verbs can stay in the simple present. For example,INCORRECTAunt Christine is preferring the maple walnut pancakes over the banana peanut butter ones that Scott loves. CORRECTAunt Christine prefers the maple walnut pancakes over the banana peanut butter ones that Scott loves.

SIMPLE PAST

The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now. Imagine someone asks you what your brother Wolfgang did while he was in town last weekend.

How to form the simple past

How to make the simple past negative

How to ask a question

For regular verbs, add –ed to the root form of the verb (or just –d if the root form ends in an e): Play→Played Type→Typed

Fortunately, there is a formula for making simple past verbs negative, and it’s the same for both regular and irregular verbs (except for the verb to be). The formula is did not + [root form of verb]. You can also use the contraction didn’t instead of did not.

The formula for asking a question in the simple past tense is did + [subject] + [root form of verb]. Did Wolfgang win the gold medal or the silver medal? Where did Wolfgang go to celebrate?

The main use of the simple past tense is to denote events that happened in the past. So, if any sentence depicts an action that has already happened at a specific time, then the verb is in the past tense. Lisa went to the supermarket yesterday. Sam cooked a tasty dinner yesterday.
