After memorising the different parts of verbs, get to know the different verb forms in the tense system.


 THE TENSE SYSTEM

They were going
He is going
They are going

He will be going
They will be going
Perfect
He had gone

Try to use this table to write the sentences based on the time mentioned:

‘write’
PAST

Then make sure you understand the usage of the different verb forms.
For example - when you should use "simple past" and "simple present";
When to use - present continuous and past continuous;
and finally the difference between "present perfect" and "past perfect".

Repeat with other verbs such as : eat, finish, wash, clean etc.
Ask your teacher if you have any questions.
Happy learning!!!
