Sentences in different tenses in English

How many tenses in English

First, let's remember how many tenses a learner of English needs to know. While Russian makes do with past, present and future, English has a dozen tense forms.

In fact, there are also three tenses in English: Present (present), Past (past) and Future (future). But they have four aspects: Simple (simple), Continuous , or Progressive (continuous), Perfect (perfect) and Perfect Continuous (perfect continuous). So it turns out 12 temporary forms.

Time indicates when an action occurs, and aspect adds characteristics such as duration, completion, and repetition. For example, from the name of time Past Continuous (past continuous) it is clear that we are talking about a continuous action in the past. nine0005

How not to get confused in English tenses

Along with the rules for using and constructing English tenses, it is worth remembering examples of sentences for each tense - something relevant and close to you. Remembering such an example, you can approximately understand in what cases this time is used, and based on this proposal, it is correct to build a new one. nine0005

Since our readers are most likely those who study or intend to study English, we offer examples of sentences about homework ( homework ). Still, an English lesson is not complete without discussing homework. At the same time, get ready-made excuses in case you didn’t do your homework. 😉

For each time, we give a brief description and a plate that schematically shows how to form the time. Want to take the topic more seriously? Here is another article detailing the use of all English tenses. nine0005

Present Simple

Present Simple is really simple. In the present simple tense, we report facts and talk about regular activities. In sentences in Present Simple , you can find words such as always (always), often (often), every day (every day), etc.

Present Simple in sentences with the verb to be

Separately, you need to consider sentences with the verb to be (to be). When they are translated into Russian in the present tense, this verb simply disappears. In English we use to be , when we characterize someone, indicate their age, profession, occupation or location. It is important to remember the forms to be in Present Simple - they are different for each person - because they will be needed to form other tenses. Also note that the auxiliary verb ( do/does ) for to be is not needed.

Present Continuous

With the help of Present Continuous we can talk about what is happening right now, in a given period of time, for example this week, or about specific plans for the future. nine0005

• I am doing my homework right now. Please don't disturb me! - I'm doing my homework now. Please don't disturb me!

• I am not meeting my study buddy tonight. He's made up some excuses, but I think he' s just being lazy. - I'm not meeting with my study partner tonight. He came up with some excuses, but I think he's just acting like a bummer.

PeopleImages.com - Yuri A/Shutterstock.com

The verb to be in Present Continuous indicates the person's behavior at the moment. Look at the second example: “ He is being lazy ” means that a person is lazy now, but this does not mean that he is lazy in life. nine0005

Present Perfect

Despite Present in the title, we use Present Perfect to talk about actions in the past. However, the result of the action itself, the so-called connection with the present, is important to us, and not the moment in time when the action occurred. The time Present Perfect is suitable for describing the experience that has accumulated so far, and such words as already (already), yet (yet), so far (at the moment) come to the rescue. For Present Perfect the third form of the verb is needed: if the verb is regular, then the ending -ed is added to it, and the forms of irregular verbs will have to be taught.

• I have already done this exercise. - I have already done this exercise.

• Our substitute teacher hasn't given us any homework, we swear! - We swear, the replacement teacher didn't give us any homework! nine0005

Present Perfect Continuous

If the action started in the past and is still going on, it is Present Perfect Continuous .

Past Simple

This time is suitable for stories about the past. Unlike Present Perfect , for Past Simple the result and connection with the present are not important. The main thing is that the action is over and happened sometime in the past: yesterday (yesterday), last week (last week), a year ago (one year ago), etc.

• Yesterday, I listen ed to the audio, learned ten new words, but I didn’t write an essay. - Yesterday I listened to the audio, learned ten new words, but did not write an essay.

The verb to be in the Past Simple has two different forms and, just like in the present tense, does not require an auxiliary verb.

Past Continuous

Past Continuous We use to describe a long action in the past that happened at a certain moment. With this time, you can find such indicator phrases as all morning yesterday (all morning yesterday), at 7 p.m. last Monday (7 p.m. last Monday), etc.

Past Perfect

For Past Perfect the sequence is important. We use Past Perfect if something happened before another event in the past, and therefore in sentences with Past Perfect you can see prepositions like before (before), after (after), by the time (by the time).

PixieMe/Shutterstock.com

Past Perfect Continuous

The same applies to Past Perfect Continuous , with the only difference that the action lasted some time before another action in the past. nine0005

Future Simple

With the help of Future Simple we talk about our spontaneous decisions, make promises and forecasts for the future.

Future Continuous

When we know what we will be doing at a particular time, we can talk about it in Future Continuous .

Future Perfect

This tense describes an action that will be completed by a certain point in the future. In sentences in Future Perfect there are prepositions before (before), by then (by then), until (until then).

Future Perfect Continuous

Thanks to this tense, we can talk about an action that will continue for some time until a certain point in the future. For sentences in Future Perfect Continuous may need prepositions by (by that time), for (during).

• By 2028, I will have been procrastinat ing on homework for 10 years. I want to be in The Guinness World Records . - In 2028 it will be 10 years since I put off my homework for later. I want to get into the Guinness Book of Records. nine0005
