📚 Topic Summary
Verb tenses tell us when an action happens. There are three main verb tenses: past, present, and future. The past tense describes actions that have already happened (e.g., I walked to school). The present tense describes actions happening now or actions that happen regularly (e.g., I walk to school). The future tense describes actions that will happen later (e.g., I will walk to school).
🧪 Part A: Vocabulary
Match the term with its definition:
- Past Tense
- Present Tense
- Future Tense
- Regular Verb
- Irregular Verb
- A verb whose past tense form does not follow a standard pattern (e.g., go/went).
- A verb that describes an action happening now.
- A verb that forms its past tense by adding -ed (e.g., walk/walked).
- A verb that describes an action that already happened.
- A verb that describes an action that will happen later.
📝 Part B: Fill in the Blanks
Complete the paragraph with the correct tense of the verb in parentheses:
Yesterday, I _______ (walk) to the park. I usually _______ (walk) there, but today it _______ (rain) so I _______ (take) the bus. Tomorrow, I _______ (go) to the zoo with my family.
