5 Tense

last Thursday I had just studied the types of tenses, and I will also tell you the formula tenses. and the first one:

1. Simple Present Tense

This tense is used to express the action habits, routines, or general facts.

(+) S + V1 (s / es)

(-) S + Do / Do + not + V1

(?) Do / Do + S + V1 +?

means:

S = Subject (I, you, they, we, she, he, it)

V1 = Verb 1 (study, open, etc.) If the subject is third person singular (she, he, it) we add "s" or "es".

Do / Does = Auxiliary Verb.

I, you, they, we, use "Do"; She, he it, use "Does".

For example:

-She Makes the cake.

-they Do not open the door.

-Does It open the door?

2. Simple Past Tense

a simple form of the verb to indicate that an event occurred in the past.

(+) S + V2

(-) S + Did Not + V1 +

(?) Did + S + V1 +?

For example:

-Did He come on time yesterday?

-The Party started at 10:00 a.m.

-Did You enough sleep last night?

3. Present / Continuous Tense

form of the verb used to express the action that is now in progress or planned in the future.

(+) S + Be + V ing

(-) S + Be + Not + V ing

(?) Be + S + V + ing?

(V ing = Verb + ing)

(Be = Auxiliary Verb)

Subject	Present	Past
I	Am	Was
You	Are	Were
They
We
She	Is	Was
He
It

For example:
- I'm spending my holiday on Kuta beach next month.

- The buses are arriving in an hour.
- I'm moving to West Jakarta this month.

4. Simple Future Tense

a form of the verb used to express that an action happens in the future, spontaneous or planned.

(+) S + Will + V1

(-) S + Will + Not + V1

(?) Will + S + V1 +?

For example:

-Wait A minute. I will change my clothes.

-I'm Visiting South Korea tomorrow.

-Will You marry me?

5. Present Perfect Tense

This tense is used to state an event that already occurred, and the result could still be felt.

(+) S + Has / Have + V3

(-) S + Has / Have + Not + V3

(?) Has / Have + S + V3 +?

For example:

-I've Read this book.

-She Has called you three times.

-The Rain's just stopped.

More example (actually some assignment from my college teacher):

1. She drank coffee. (Simple Past Tense)

2. They have started the course. (Present Perfect Tense)

3. Ana and Linda were opening the account. (Past Continuous Tense)

4. The bank closes at 5 p.m. (Simple Present Tense)

5. The dog ran through the park. (Simple Past Tense)

it is 5 kinds of tenses that we often use.
