          3.Future Tenses

The basic tensen are the simple present tenses, simple past tenses, and simple future tenses.

 Simple Present Tense

 

The Present Simple is the most basic and commom tense in the English language.It is also an

 

interesting tense because it can express both the present and the future.

The simple present tense is used when:

• the action is general
• the action happens all the time, or habitually, in the past, present and future
• the action is not only happening now
• the statement is always true

Examples:

• I live in New York.
• The Moon goes round the Earth.
• John drives a taxi.
• We meet every Thursday.
• We do not work at night.
• Do you play football.

With the verb 'to be', the simple present tense can also be used for situations that are not 

general.The simple present tense can be used to talk about now. Examples shown below are 

examples of the verb "to be" in the simple present tense - some of them are general, some

of them are now.

Simple Past Tense

The simple past tense is sometimes called the pretirite tense. Several tenses can be used to talk

about the past, but the simple past tense is the one we use most often. The action can be short or

long. There can also be a few actions happening one after another.

The simple past tense is used when:

• the event is in the past.
• the event is completely finished.
• we say(or understand) the time and/or place of the event.

We use the simple past tense to talk about an action or a situation - an event - in the past. The

event can be short or long.

• Here are some short event with the simple past tense:

          a)The car exploded at 9.30am yesterday

          b)She went to the door.

          c)We did not hear the telephone.

          d)Did you see that car?

          The action is in the past.

• Here are some long event with the simple past tense:

          a)I lived in Bangkok for 10 years.

          b)The Jurassic period lasted about 62 million years

          c)We did not sing at the concert.

          d)Did you watch TV lastnight.

          The action is in the past.

It does not matter how long ago the event is: it can be a few minutes or seconds in the past, or

millions of years in the past. Also it does not matter how long the event is. It can be a few

milliseconds (car explosion) or millions of years (Jurassic period).

In general, if the time and place of the event is mentioned, the simple past tense must be in use;

the present perfect cannot be used.

Here are some examples:

• I lived in that house when i was young.
• He didn't like the movie.
• What did you eat for dinner?
• John drove to London on Monday.
• Mary did not go to work yesterday.
• Did you play  tennis last week?
• I was at work yesterday.
• We were not (late for the train)
• Were you angry?

Usually when we tell a story, we usually use the simple past tense. Wee may use the past

continuous tense to "set the scene", but we almost always use the simple past tense for the action.

Simple Future Tense

 

Among all future tenses, the Future Simple is the most common. It is used in many situations 

such as when making promises or predictions. The simple future tense is often call will,

because we make the simple future tense with the modal auxiliary will.

The simple future tense is used when there is no plan or decision to do something before a person

speaks. The decision is made spontaneously at the time of speaking. For example:

• Hold on, i'll get a pen.
• We will see what we can do to help you.
• Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight.

In these example, the subject had no firm plan before speaking. The decision is made at the

time of speaking.

The simple future tense is often used with the verb to think before it:

• It will rain tomorrow.
• People wont go to Jupiter before the 22nd century.
• Who do you think will get the job?

When the main verb is be, the simple future tense can be used even if there is a firm plan or

decision before speaking. For example:

• I'll be in London tomorrow.
• I'm going shopping. I wont be very long.
• Will you be at work tomorrow.
