Hello and welcome to this lesson. I'm going to teach you all of the tenses in the English language. For each tense, I will show you the form, its different uses, and share example sentences to help you fully understand it. So, if you're ready, let's begin. Before we get into the lesson, here's a chart showing all of the tenses. There are three times - present, past, and future, and four aspects - simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous. The times and aspects combined to make all of the 12 tenses in English. The present time and the simple aspect make the present simple tense. Then, we have the present continuous, present perfect, and present perfect continuous. In the same way, we can make tenses with the past and future times as well.

"Kathy works as a teacher." Notice that in sentence number two, we have "works" with an "s" in the present tense. If the subject is "I, you, we, or they," we use a verb without "s." That's why it's "I drink." If the subject is "he, she, or it," we add "s" to the verb. Kathy is a female name, it's like saying "she." So we've said, "Kathy works." Now, the first sentence talks about a habit or routine - something that I do regularly. The second sentence is a fact - Kathy works as a teacher, which is a fact about her life. These are the two main uses of the present simple tense. Here are a...
