The three main type of verbs are past, present, and future.

Past Tense Verbs

A past tense verb is a word that tells you what the subject has already done. It is used to describe something that happened in the past.

For example, ‘He walked to the store’. uses the past tense version of ‘walk’ and tells you that ‘he’ already made it to the store on foot.

Present Tense Verbs

A present tense verb is an action word that tells you what the subject is doing right now in the present.

For example, ‘He walks to the store’. uses the present tense of the verb ‘walk’ and tells you ‘he’ is in the process of getting to the store on foot now.

Future Tense Verbs

A future tense verb is a word that tells you an action that will take place at some point, but has not happened yet.

For example, ‘He will walk to the store’. uses the future tense of the verb ‘walk’ and tells you that ‘he’ plans to go to the store on foot, but has not started the journey yet.
