Past, Present, and Future Tenses

The tense of a verb tells when an action happens. A verb in the present
tense tells about action that is happening now. A verb in the past tense
tells about action that has already happened. Many past tense verbs end
in -ed. A verb in the future tense tells about action that will happen in the
future. The helping verb will is added to a verb to form the future tense.
Present Tense The rain pours down. We use our umbrellas.
Past Tense It rained last night. They filled buckets with rainwater.
Future Tense The rain will stop tomorrow.
• When a verb ends with e, drop the e before adding -ed: save saved.
• When a one-syllable verb ends with one vowel followed by one
consonant, double the final consonant before adding -ed: clap clapped.
• When a verb ends with a consonant followed by y, change the y to i
before adding -ed: hurry hurried.
