Day 4

The five forms of a verb and their uses:

1. The FIRST form: To speak about present tense and future tense.

Also to talk about subjects: I, You and Plural.

2. The second form: To speak about present tense.

Also to talk about subjects: He/She/It (Third person singular)

3. The THIRD form: To speak about present continuous tense.

In this form of the verb we can speak about both present LIVE actions and future actions.

I am coming to your house tomorrow. This is used in informal situations. It has a casual tone.

I will be coming to your house tomorrow. This is used in formal situations. It has an official tone.

4. The FOURTH form: To speak about past tense.

5. The FIFTH form: To speak with “have”.

I have done the work. She has seen him. They have come to meet you.

👿The difference between the fourth form and the fifth form is that in fourth form you talk about a past action in past tense whereas in fifth form you talk about a past action staying in the present tense. So the fourth form is more informative and the fifth form is more assertive.

☝☝An important point to note here is that to become English rich we need to take an interest in learning about new verbs and their five forms.
