VERB TENSES SIMPLE PRESENT

It is used to describe the present in real time. It is the basic form and the infinitive is used for subjects, except for the third person singular, He/She, which adds an -s at the end.

AUXILIARY

Do is used with the subjects: you, e, you, they. DOES accompanies the subjects: he, she, it. The auxiliary do not/does not will come after the subject but before the main verb and this will no longer be conjugated, since the auxiliary verb is already conjugated in the present.

The "past continuous" describes actions or events located in a time prior to the present, whose beginning is in the past and which has not yet concluded at the moment of speaking. In other words, it expresses an incomplete or unfinished action from the past.

To form the past continuous we use the auxiliary verb “to be” and the verb+ing. The auxiliary verb “to be” is in the past simple, but keep in mind that “to be” is an irregular verb. Auxiliary Subject (to be)Verb+ingI, he, she, itwastalking, eating, learning, doing, going…you, we, theyweretalking, eating, learning, doing, going…
