We use the present simple to talk about things and situations that are generally true

Examples of the present tense

Let's look at some examples of some variations of the present tense.
I play the piano
Mrs Salameh is coming to dinner tonight
He has been to a working place today
I am going to the zoo to see the tigers
Bernard has been building a hotel

How do we form the present tense?

The simple present tense is formed using the base of a verb eg. ' I play'. In the present tense, we must add the inflection-s when using the third person singular (he / she / it).
I play → He play s
I understand → She understand s
I dance → she dance s
We can also add the infection -ing to base verbs to form the present progressive (sometimes called 'continuous').We use this verb pattern to talk about an ongoing action in the present or to discuss future plans.
We are learning about tenses.
I am reading .
I'm seeing my friend tomorrow.

Future tense

The future tense is used to express an action (or state of being) that has not yet happened but is expected to happen in the future.

Examples of the future tense

Let's look at some examples of different variations of the future tense.
We're going to England together.
They will have cooked dinner by the time we're home.
Sam will be a good doctor when he's older
Ben will have been teaching for 5 years in September.

How do we form the future tense?

Some grammarians argue that there is no future tense, just ways of expressing the future using combinations of other tenses and aspects. This is because inflections aren't added to the base verb to form something called the 'future tense', as they are for present and past tenses. Instead, we use modal auxiliary verbs, such as 'will', 'shall' and 'going to', or one of the other tenses, to describe future events, actions, and states.
They dance → They will dance
She goes to work → She will go to work
I play chess → I shall play chess
He is riding his bike → He is going to ride his bike
I'm seeing Sarah on Tuesday
