VERBS

A verb is composed of tense and aspect. A verb tense or the time event indicates past, present and future actions.
Meanwhile, aspect refers to the state of action of a verb and indicates the duration or completion of an event.

Four (4) Types of Verb Aspects


There are four types of verb aspects: simple, progressive, perfect and perfect progressive.

1. Simple Aspect
a. The simple present tense is used to describe general truths and habitual actions.
Examples: The earth rotates around the sun.
Delia walks to school every day.
Remember: If the subject is singular, use the s-form of a verb.
If the subject is plural and/or pronouns I and You, use the base form of a verb.
b. The simple past tense is used to express an event or habitual action that was completed in the past.
Examples: The children watched a documentary film.
It rained almost every week last month.
c. The simple future tense is used to express an action or habitual action to take place in the future time.
Examples: They will celebrate the United Nations Day in October.
After December, Richard will take the train to work every day.
Remember: Use will/shall + base form of a verb.

2. The Progressive Aspect


a. The present progressive expresses ongoing actions.
Examples: The students are taking the test now.
The teacher is preparing the lessons.
Remember: Use be (am/is/are) verb + -ing form of a verb.
b. The past progressive expresses:
 an action in progress at some specific point of time in the past.
Examples: Timmy was walking to the office at 7:00 this morning.
I was preparing for the church at 6 o’clock yesterday.
 a past action simultaneous with another event.
Example: They were preparing for the party when the visitors came.
Remember: Use be (was/were) verb + -ing form of a verb.
c. The future progressive expresses an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future.
Examples: Trina will be graduating from elementary this year.
The Grade 5 pupils will be attending a mass tomorrow.
Remember: Use will/shall + be + -ing form of a verb.

3. The Perfect Aspect


a. The present perfect expresses:
 an action that began in the past and continues to the present time.
Example: Sheila has been a girl scout since last year.
 a very recently completed action (often with just.)
Examples: Berta has just baked cookies.
I have called the plumber.
Remember: If the subject is singular, use has + the past participle of a verb.
If the subject is plural and/or pronouns I and You, use have + the past participle of a verb.
b. The past perfect is used to express an action that was completed before another action took place at some definite
time in the past.
Example: Some supporters had already left before they proclaimed the elected officers.
Remember: Use had + past participle of a verb.
c. The future perfect expresses a future action that will be completed before a specific future time.
Example: I will have finished the school project before 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
Remember: Use will/shall + have + past participle of a verb.

4. Perfect Progressive Aspect


a. The present perfect progressive expresses an action in progress that is not yet completed or a situation or habit
that began in the past and that continues up to the present.
Examples: Rowena has been reading that book.
I have been accomplishing the tasks in this module.
Remember: If the subject is singular, use has + been + ing form of a verb.
If the subject is plural and/or pronouns I and You, use have + been + -ing form of a verb.
b. The past perfect progressive expresses an action or habit taking place over a period of time in the past before
another past event or time.

Remember: Use had + been + -ing form of a verb
c. The future perfect progressive expresses a habitual action that is taking place in the present and will continue in a
specific future time.
