hi i'm ashley and here comes mia
today we will talk about verb tenses
let's go
okay so we know that a verb usually
shows
action right well there are different
versions of verbs
that show when the action takes place
past tense means it happened sometime
before now
present tense means it is happening
right now and
future tense means it hasn't happened
yet
let's take a look at the verb talk in
the past tense it is
talked notice that ed is added to the
end of the word most verbs in the past
tense have
e-d added to the end my brother
talked my ear off
in the present tense that is talk
actually i talk a lot too
and future tense is will talk
i will talk to my grandma on facetime

joke break how do you know
verbs love history because they're
always talking about the
past tense
okay enough jokes let's practice verb
tenses together
here you can see that we have our past
present and future tenses on a timeline
next i'm going to tell you a sentence
and let's see if we can figure out the
verb tense together
i like to bake i'm telling you that i
like to bake right now
in this very moment did you already
guess the verb tense
point to the tense on the timeline where
you think
bake belongs great job
bake is in the present tense
but what if i said last week i
baked an oatmeal cake
this sentence is telling about something
that has already happened
point to the tense you think the verb
baked
belongs to
it happened in the past so it is past
tense
my mom has a birthday coming up
can you guess my gift here's a hint
it rhymes with bake yep
i will bake a cake
i'm not presently baking her cake
i haven't already baked her cake
point to the tents you think will bake
belongs to
i will be baking her cake in the
future will bake is in the future tense
in review let's remember verbs
usually show action or what is happening
in the sentence
they can be past tense which is before
now
present tense which is right now or
future tense meaning not quite yet
be sure to practice what you've learned
with our online games and quizzes and
remember
to always be clever
