How do you form the past tense and the future tense?

Answer 1

To form the simple past tense of a verb you need to make the verb past tense. For regular verbs, you add -ed to the end of the verb. Irregular verbs are different in that there is no pattern to forming their past tense form. You must learn their past tense.

To form the complete simple past tense you should use this formula:

• Subject + Past Tense Verb.

For example:

• I danced. (dance is a regular verb)
• I sang. (sing is an irregular verb)

To form the simple future tense you should follow this formula:

• Subject + Will + Verb

For example:

• I will play.
• I will go.

Answer 2

To form the past tense, add "-ed" to regular verbs (e.g. walk -> walked) or use the irregular verb conjugation (e.g. go -> went). To form the future tense, use "will" or "going to" followed by the base form of the verb (e.g. I will go, I am going to go).
