English - Present and Past Tense

Hi boys and girls,

You have learnt present and past tense last week. If you have forgotten, you can refer to the notes below.


Present Tense
The simple present tense in English is used to describe an action that is regular, true or normal.

We use the present tense:

1. For repeated or regular actions in the present time period.

• I take the train to the office.
• The train leaves every hour.
• Mary sleeps at 9pm every night

2. For facts.

• The President of The USA lives in The White House.
• A dog has four legs.
• We come from Singapore.

3. For habits.

• I get up early every day.
• Fiona brushes her teeth twice a day.
• They go to the library every Saturday.
  

Now, you can have more practice now. Have fun learning.

Practice 1
Practice 2



Past Tense
The simple past tense describes completed actions and past situations.

Examples:

* They went to the library last week.
