Verb Tenses

Verbs can tell about action in the present, past,


and future.
Most past tense verbs end in -ed. Future verbs
have will before them.
Present: Dogs sometimes walk in circles.
Past: This dog walked in lots of circles.
Future: He will walk in more circles.

Write present, past, or future to identify


the tense of the verb in each sentence.
