Present tense – Occurring now
Past tense – Occurred in the past (already happened)
Future tense – Will occur in the future.

The Present Tense helps us talk about actions that are happening right now!

…

The system of adapting infinitive verbs to different people, places, and things is called verb conjugation.

When we conjugate verbs, we team them up with different Subject Pronouns to attach actions to people, places or things. Like from TO SPEAK to HE SPEAKS.

When we conjugate verbs, we DROP the [-AR], [-ER], or [-IR] ending, and then reattach a NEW ENDING that lets us know who or what is acting or being acted upon.

Subject Pronoun + New Ending = Correctly Conjugated Verb!
