Learn the idea

Tense helps show time. Compare a usual action, a finished action and a future action. Some past forms use -ed; others change in a different way.

Worked example

Every day I walk. Yesterday I walked. Tomorrow I will walk.

  1. Use the time word as a clue.
  2. Keep the person and the action the same while changing the time.
