ENGLISH VERB TENSES -- TIME and ASPECT =

MEANING

There are three times that can be indicated by verb tenses in English:

present (or "non-past" -- the "default" time)

past

future

These times refer to the relationship of the "story" to the

speaker (or writer).

There are three "aspects" that can be expressed:

simple
(the "default" aspect -- the time of focus)

perfect
(completion -- before the time of focus)

progressive
(or continuous) (duration -- in progress at the time of focus)
(one verb phrase can indicate both perfect and progressive
aspect)

Month: MAY 2016

Page 22

MR. EUGENE JOSEPH

These aspects refer to the relationship between the events

inside the "story."

MEANING
These three times and three aspects (four, including perfect
progressive) can be combined to express 9 (or 12) "verb
tenses:"

The verb tense is also affected by the meaning of individual verbs (lexical
aspect), by time expressions, and psychological factors, but the basic idea is as
described above.

ENGLISH VERB TENSES --

FORMS of the VERB

There are theoretically 6 forms of the verb in English:

Vs

Ved

("no-s" form)

("s"-form)

("past" form)

We like pizza
I eat pizza
I am/ they are
hungry.

(simple
He likes pizza. present)
She eats
pizza.
He is hungry.
They liked
pizza.
She ate pizza.

(simple
past)

He was/they
were hungry.
V

(simple or
"dictionary"
form)

like
eat
be

Vin
g

( "-ing form" or
present
participle)

liking
eating
being

Vdt ( past participle)

Month: MAY 2016

(require
auxiliaries
to form
finite verb
phrases)

liked
Page 25

MR. EUGENE JOSEPH

eaten
been

For most verbs the "no-s" form and the simple form are identical in form.
All verbs form the "s-form" and the "ing-form" predictably from this simple
form.
For "regular" verbs, the past and past participle forms are the same, and are
formed by adding "ed" to the simple form.
So, if you learn the spelling rules for adding "s" "ed" and "ing" to the simple
form of verbs, and memorize three forms of "irregular" verbs:
the simple form * * the past form * * the past participle
you will be able to form all of the verb forms.
(For a few verbs, the "no-s", "simple", past, and past participle are all the
same!
The verb be has two different "no-s" forms, a different simple form, and two
different past forms.)
FORMS OF THE VERB and AUXILIARIES
Simple negatives and questions and all passive, progressive,
and perfect verb phrases are formed by combining one of the
following three auxiliary verbs or a modal auxiliary verb with
either a simple verb form, a present participle, or a past
participle. The auxiliary shows the time (and number) and the

Therefore, each verb (including be, do and have when

they are main verbs)
