  1. Bible Language ArtsMs. Meek Lesson # 41 Tenses and Verb Agreement Review

  2. Past Tense Tense deals with time, and past tense refers to something that has already happened. It happened in the past.

  3. To form the past tense form of most verbs, you simply add -ed to the end of the word Example: Present tense-I talk to my friend. Past tense - I talked to my friend. When something has already happened, it must be changed to the past tense.

  4. Past Tense Verbs There are three rules to follow when changing a verb to the past tense. The letters ed can be added to many main verbs to show that happened in the past. Ex: talk talked blink blinked

  5. Past Tense Verbs When the basic verb form ends with a silent e, drop the e and add ed. Ex. bake baked love loved

  6. When writing about something within the same sentence, or when talking about the same topic, the tenses for each verb should stay the same. Example: On Friday, Joe talked to his friend Bill, walked to the store to buy milk for his mother, and called her when he was on his way home.

  7. Key Words When determining the tense of a verb, look for certain key words that indicate the time of the action. When reading or writing in the past tense look for or use key words such as: Yesterday Last week A few days ago A while back

  8. Irregular Past Tense Verbs Irregular verbs are a bit more difficult because you don't add -ed to make them past tense. The whole word changes depending on its tense. Present tense: I eat a carrot. Past tense: I ate a carrot.

  9. There are no rules for irregular verbs, they are words that must be committed to memory. Some examples of irregular past tense verbs: Run = ran Take = took Go = went

  10. Present Tense Tense deals with time, and present tense refers to something that is happening right now.

  11. To form the present tense of most verbs, you simply add -s or -es to the end of the word when the noun is plural. Example: talk - talks

  12. Present Tense Verbs Present tense verbs change depending on the subject in the sentence. Agreement means the sentence parts must match. The subject of the sentence must match the verb. A singular subject needs a singular verb. A plural subject needs a plural verb.

  13. Present Tense Verbs When thinking of plural present tense verbs, think opposite of what you know to be true for nouns. With verbs, add -s or -es to the singular, not the plural. Use the noun to determine singular or plural, and then make the verb match the noun.

  14. Daisy plays violin. They talk to the boys at lunch.

  15. Daisy plays violin. singular subject They talk to the boys at lunch.

  16. Daisy plays violin singular singular subject verb They talk to the boys at lunch.

  17. Daisy plays violin. singular singular subject verb They talk to the boys at lunch. plural subject

  18. Daisy plays violin. singular singular subject verb They talk to the boys at lunch. plural pluralsubject verb

  19. Helping Verbs The most common helping verbs can be broken into three groups. In each group, there are present and past tense helping verbs, as well as singular and plural helping verbs.

  20. Forms of be: is - present tense singular She is playing with her sister. am - present tense singular I am moving to a new city today. are - present tense plural They are walking to the store. was - past tense singular Billy was running around the bases. were - past tense plural Mary and Sam were playing at the park.

  21. Forms of have: Have- present tense singularI have a secret to keep! Has - present tense pluralJim has five dollars in his wallet. Had - past tense singularHe had a kite, but it was broken.

  22. Forms of do: Do - present tense singular I do the chores before I play. Does - present tense plural The gang does work on the play house. Did - past tense singular He did his homework last night.

  23. Future Tense Tense deals with time, and future tense refers to something that has not happened yet, but is going to happen.

  24. To form the future tense of most verbs, you use the helping verb “will” in front of the main verb to tell that this verb will happen in the future.

  25. Verb Tenses Examples: Past - Tim played soccer when he was young. This action happened in the past. Present - Tim plays soccer in high school. This action is happening right now. Future - Tim will play soccer in college. This action will happen in the future.

  26. Future Tense Verbs Having the helping verb “will” in front of the main verb makes subject verb agreement easier. The main verb can be used with a singular or a plural subject. Example: She will sing at the concert. - singular The girls will sing at the concert.- plural

  27. Which Tense? Yesterday, I talked to my best friend. Past Jim will help Leah cook dinner. Future David works in the yard on sunny days. Present The boys finish the race quickly. Present
