Explanation:
1. In Simple Present Tense, we use base form of a verb. When the subject is singular, we add -s/es with the base form of the verb (V1+s/es).
In questions, negatives, and negative questions we use auxiliary do/does+v1 with ‘not’.
We use the present simple for
•states, things staying the same, facts and things that are true for a long time: We live quite near
• repeated actions: We come here every week.
2. Simple Past Tense is used to :
a) talk about actions which occurred at regular intervals in the past.
e.g. Last year I drove to Ambala once a month.
b) to talk about situations which existed for a period of time in the past.
e.g. Thousands of years ago humans lived in caves.
c) Talk about non-continuous actions which occurred at a definite time in the past.
e.g. India launched Mars Orbiter Mission in 2013.
3. Future Simple
Future Simple tense is used to talk about actions, events that will happen in future. We use will/shall+v1 structure to talk about future actions or events.
