Explanation
- The correct form of the verb must be used to show the tense of the sentence
- The form of the verb depends on the word that is before the verb and the subject of the sentence and the tense
- The second form of the verb is mostly used in the Past tenses, whereas the first forms of the verb are used in Present tenses
- And in continuous sentences "ing" is added to show the action is still going on.
