The tense of a verb indicates the time of the action or state of being expressed by the verb. Past: Existing or happening in the past. There are six verb tenses. Present: Existing or happening now. Future: Existing of happening in the future. Past Perfect: Existing or happening before a specific time in the past. Present Perfect: Existing or happening sometime before now; may be continuing now. Future Perfect: Existing or happening before a specific time in the future.

5 Conjugation Listing the different forms of a verb in the six tenses is called conjugating a verb. Singular I write you write he, she, or it writes I wrote you write he, she, or it wrote I will (shall) write you will (shall) write he, she, or it will (shall) write I have written you have he, she, or it has written I had written you had written he, she, or it had written I will (shall) have written you will (shall) have written he, she, or it will (shall) have written Conjugation of the Verb Write Present Tense Past Tense Future Tense Present Perfect Tense Plural we write you write they write we wrote you wrote they wrote we will (shall) write you will (shall) write they will (shall) write we have written you have written they have written Past Perfect Tense we had written you had written they had written Future Perfect Tense we will (shall) have written you will (shall) have written they will (shall) have written Additional Tense Each of the six tenses has an additional form called the PROGRESSIVE FORM, which expresses continuing action or state of being. Present Progressive Past Progressive Future Progressive Present Perfect Progressive Past Perfect Progressive Future Perfect Progressive am, are, is writing was, were writing will, shall be writing has, have been writing had been writing will, shall have been writing Only the present and past tenses have another form called the EMPHATIC FORM, which is used to show emphasis. Present Emphatic do, does write Past Emphatic did write

6 Consistency of Tense 18e. Do not change needlessly from one tense to another. When describing events that occur at the same time, use verbs in the same tense. INCONSISTENT CONSISTENT CONSISTENT When we were comfortable, we begin to do our homework. (Were is past tense, and begin is present.) When we are comfortable, we begin to do our homework. (Both are and begin are present tense.) When we were comfortable, we began to do our homework. (Both were and began are past tense.) Active Voice and Passive Voice 18f. A verb in the active voice expresses an action done by its subject. A verb in the passive voice expresses an action done to its subject. ACTIVE VOICE PASSIVE VOICE The school librarian has formed a book club. A book club has been formed by the school librarian. In a passive sentence the main verb phrase always includes a form of be and the past participle. PASSIVE VOICE PASSIVE VOICE The show window was broken last night. Those marigolds had been planted by Lucinda. Special Problems with Verbs Sit and Set Sit means to rest in an upright, seated position or to be in a place. Set means to put (something) in a place. sit (is) sitting sat (have) sat set (is) setting set (have) set Lie and Lay Lie means to rest, to recline, or to be in a place.
