E. LESSON PROPER
What are verbs? Ma’am!
Please read the definition of verb Jahna. Verbs are action words.
Examples:
play sing jump
walk dance write
run cook sleep

Remember class that a verb is compose of tense and aspect.

What is tense?
A verb tense or the time event indicates past,
Please read the definition Rose. present and future actions.

Tense is about time. It is the time of a verb’s action or state of being such as
present (something happening now), past (something happened earlier) and
future (something going to happen). These are called the verb’s time frame.
How about the aspect? What is it?
Yes Josh, please read the definition? Aspect refers to the state of action of a verb and
indicates the duration or completion of an event.

Aspect of a verb phrase indicates whether the action of the verb is completed
or continuous.
So today we will discuss the three (3) Types of Verb Aspects
namely:
 Simple
 Progressive
 Perfect

Now let us discuss the simple aspect.

1. Simple Aspect
Please read Jamille.
a. The simple present tense is used to describe
Listen class so this is the rule. general truths and habitual actions.
Rules:
 If the subject is singular, use the s-form of a verb.
 If the subject is plural and for pronouns I and You, use the base form of a
verb.
Let’s have an example please read.

Uses Examples
a. Shows I drink coffee every morning.
Habits: We often go to the beach in
summer.
Time words go with the Simple Present Tense: everyday, always, often,
b. General The sun rises in the east.
usually, every month, daily, generally, sometimes, seldom.
Truths: Winter is cold and summer is
hot.
Let’s proceed to letter b. the simple past tense.
Please read the definition Charmaine.

How do we form the past tense?

Yes Claire you are raising your hand.
b. The simple past tense is used to express an event
or habitual action that was completed in the past.
Absolutely correct! And we call it regular verbs.
Examples:
Present Past
watch watched The past simple is usually formed by adding d or ed
rain rained to the base form of the verb.
dance danced

Other verbs formed their past tense by totally change their spelling. We call it
irregular verbs.
Examples:
Present Past
begin began
sing sang
write wrote
buy bought

Uses Examples
a. Shows Past Action at a I ate an apple yesterday.
Past Time
b. Past Habits: He used to smoke a packet of
cigarettes.
She played a lot of games in her
childhood.

Okay let’s move to the next slide.

Please read Rhea.

Formula for this is use will/shall + the base form of a verb.

For example:
Present Past Future
play played will play c. The simple future tense is used to express an
walk walked will walk action that will take place, or that a certain condition
jump jumped will jump will exist, in the future.

Another example:
We shall leave at noon tomorrow.
Our dramatic club will perform at the Cultural Center next month.

Time words often go with the Simple Future Tense: tomorrow, next day, next
week, next year, next month

We are done will the simple aspect. Now let’s move on to the progressive
aspect.

2. The Progressive aspect

a. The present progressive expresses on-going actions.

Remember:
Use be verb (am/is/are) + -ing from of a verb.

What are the signal words for present progressive? Yes Glaiza.

Another examples:
 Uses Examples
a. Shows an Action in Keep quiet. Father is sleeping.
Progress: Look! The fire is burning.

b. Future Action with I am giving him a gift for his

Present Intention birthday.

c. Immediate Future He is leaving in a minute. right now, at present, at this moment
The train is arriving soon.
d. Constant Repetition You are always asking silly
questions.
I am constantly catching cold.

Next is the past progressive. When do we use the past progressive?

Yes Dennielle?

Very good! You are correct.

Remember class that the Progressive aspect also called continuous.

Use be verb (was/were) + -ing form of a verb

Past progressive also use when an action in progress at some specific point of
time in the past.
Example: Timmy was walking to the office at 7:00 this morning b. The past progressive is used when we talk about
I was preparing for the church at 6 o’clock yesterday. something which was happening at a special time in
the past.
Past Progressive also expresses a past action simultaneous with another
event.
Example: They were reading when she came in.

Next letter c. the future progressive. Please read the definition Gizzelle.

Remember:
Use will/shall be + -ing form of a verb.

Example:
We will be making a lot of cakes for the guests next week.
Trina will be graduating from elementary this year.

Okay let’s move on to the third aspect. Please read the definition Ciahara.

So present perfect expresses an action that began in the past and continues to
the present time.
Remember: The form is (Have/Has been + Past participle of the Verb) c. The future progressive expresses an action that
For example: He has been a driver for the past 20 years. will be in progress at a specific time in the future.
Sheila has been a girl scout since last year.

Meaning present perfect uses when a very recently completed action (often
use the word just).
For example: I have just completed my assignment.
Berta has just baked cookies
(The speaker stresses the recency of the completion of the action.)
3. Perfect Aspect
Take note that a. The Present perfect uses:
• if the subject is singular, use has + the past participle of a verb. • To express a condition that has existed in the past
• if the subject is plural and/or pronouns I and You, use have + the past up to the present moment, and still true at the
participle of a verb. present.

Next is the past perfect. Please read the definition Christian Paul.

The past perfect is used to express an action that was completed before
another action took place at some definite time in the past.
•To express recency of action or condition.
Remember: Use had + past participle of a verb.
For example: We had passed the junction when the accident occurred.
They had read the book before they saw the movie.

Let’s proceed to the future perfect. Please read the definition Charice.

So the future perfect expresses a future action that will be completed before
a specific time.
It is formed by the auxiliaries will have or shall have + the past participle of a
verb.
For example: Migs will have memorized the song by the end of this week.
By two o’clock tomorrow, Rose will have taken off Laguna.
b. The Past perfect this indicates that occurred in the
Okay that’s the end of the discussion. past before some other action that happened in the
past.

c. The Future Perfect Used to indicate an action or

condition that will have been completed by
sometime in the future.
