The Simple PRESENT TENSE uses the verb's base form (write, work), or, for third-person singular subjects, the base form plus an -s ending (he writes, she works).
Ex: We walks to school every day
The Simple PAST TENSE indicates that an action is in the past relative to the speaker or writer
Ex: varshene slept through the entire class
The simple FUTURE TENSE indicates that an action is in the future relative to the speaker or writer. There are no inflected forms for the future in English (nothing like those -ed or -s endings in the other tenses). Instead, the future tense employs the helping verbs will or shall with the base form of the verb:
Ex: We are going to win this game
The PRESENT CONTINOUS TENSE indicates continuing action, something going on now. This tense is formed with the helping "to be" verb, in the present tense, plus the present participle of the verb (with an -ing ending):
She is working through the holiday break
The PAST CONTINOUS TENSE indicates continuing action, something that was happening, going on, at some point in the past. This tense is formed with the helping "to be" verb, in the past tense, plus the present participle of the verb (with an -ing ending)
EX: HE was riding my bike all day yesterday
The FUTURE CONTINOUS TENSE indicates continuing action, something that will be happening, going on, at some point in the future. This tense is formed with the modal "will" plus "be," plus the present participle of the verb (with an -ing ending):
Ex:India will be winning world cup 2015
