What is simple present tense and simple past tense
Answers
Answer:
The simple tense is the “simplest” way to express past, present, and future events. Present regular verbs are conjugated by adding “-s” to third person singular. Past regular verbs are conjugated by adding “-ed” to all verb forms.
The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding ‑s or ‑es to the end.
For example,
"I’m sorry to hear that you are sick."
The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now. The simple past tense shows that you are talking about something that has already happened. Unlike the past continuous tense, which is used to talk about past events that happened over a period of time, the simple past tense emphasizes that the action is finished.
For example,
"The contest was the highlight of her week."
