Using Verb Tenses:

When you are writing, the verbs you use show if the events have already happened, are happening now or will happen in the future.

The past tense is used for things that have already happened.

Past tense verbs often end in '–ed' but not always.

I walked to the shop.

The present tense is used when something is happening now or when something happens regularly.

I am walking to the shop.

The future tense is used to talk about things that haven't happened yet.

I will walk to the shop.

Let's try some out before we start.
