Write two sentence of your own and change them into all tenses
Answers
Explanation:
The present tense is used to express anything that is happening now or occurring in the present moment. The present also communicates actions that are ongoing, constant, or habitual. For example:
I'm working on an essay for my English class.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
John loves music.
I run four miles every morning.
Use the past tense to indicate past events, prior conditions, or completed processes. For example:
I voted last week.
Ancient Romans believed basil was poisonous.
The fortress crumbled to ruin during the last century.
The future tense indicates actions or events that will happen in the future. For example:
I will write my paper this weekend.
Aspect allows you to be more precise in your selection of verbs. Aspect falls into two categories: continuous and perfect. To indicate the continuous aspect, add a form of the verb "to be" and a present participle to your main verb. The perfect aspect is created with a form of the verb "to have" and a past participle.
The following chart shows twelve forms of the verb "to write" that result from combining time with aspect.

Aspect in Detail
The continuous aspect is created with a form of "to be" and a present participle (about participles). For example:
I am writing. (present continuous)
I was writing when he called. (past continuous)
If you want to come over later, we will be watching a movie. (future continuous)
The perfect aspect is created with a form of the verb "to have" and a past participle. For example:
I have been in Seattle for six months. (present perfect)
I had studied all night for the test. (past perfect)
I will have finished my paper by eight o'clock. (future perfect)
The perfect aspect is often the most challenging to understand, so here's a brief overview.
Past Perfect describes a past action completed before another. For example, the next two sentences describe one action followed by another, but each achieves a different rhetorical effect by using different verb forms.
She wrote the essay and reread it the next day. simple past tense: "wrote"
The next day, she reread the essay she had written. past perfect: "had written"
"Wrote" and "reread" sound equally important in the first sentence. In the second, the past perfect form "had written" emphasizes the action "reread."
Present Perfect refers to completed actions which endure to the present or whose effects are still relevant.
I broke my leg. (This could refer to any time in my past.)
I have broken my leg. (The leg is still broken or otherwise affects my current condition.)
I acted for 10 years. (This implies I no longer act.)
I have acted for 10 years. (This implies I still act.)
Future Perfect refers to an action that will be completed in the future.
She will have written 10 books by her eightieth birthday.
One final note: the terms used to describe aspect have changed over time, and different terms are often used to describe the same aspect. It may help to know that the following terms are equivalent:
"simple present" (or) "present indefinite"
"past continuous" (or) "past progressive" (or) "past imperfect"
"past complete" (or) "past perfect"
"past perfect continuous" (or) "past perfect progressive"
