In this ESL grammar lesson, students choose the correct verb form (future tense or past tense) to complete sentences. Students must choose the correct form according to the context of the sentences.
The future tense is used to talk about actions or events that will happen. It is often formed with “will” or “going to.” Here are some examples:
The past tense is used to talk about actions or events that have already happened. It is usually formed by adding -ed to regular verbs or using the second form of irregular verbs. Here are some examples:
The English grammar lesson below reviews the past tense and future tense by having students choose the correct verb form in various sentences according to the context of the sentences. Our series of ESL grammar lessons on subjects and verbs introduce these concepts and reinforce them through helpful and instructive exercises.
