Module 2:

Present Tense Vs. Past Tense

What Is the Present Tense?

The present tense is a verb tense that

describes a current activity or state of being.

For example:

My mother sings every morning. (This is a

current activity.)

I am sad. (This is a current state of being.)

Somewhat unusually, the present tense can

also be used to describe past and future

activities.

For example:

I swim in the sea every Saturday. (This is a

current activity.)

Aliens exist in outer space. (This is a current

state of being.)

The meeting ends at 6 o'clock. (This is the

present tense, but it describes a future

activity. It happens with scheduled times.)
