TENSES 

You can't worry about the past 


Cause way back then 


You got to think about the future 


And where you trying to get 


As of right now 


That's the present 


I hope you get it 


I hope you get it 


Cause theseyour tenses 
 
I hope you get it get it 


Cause theseyour tenses 
 
 
Present progressive tense 


Past progressive tense 


Future progressive tense 
 
The word tense? is a category 


That locates 


A situation in time 


If it’s the past 


Then time rewind 


If it’s the present I 


Den we speaking of rite now 


the future is later on 


Down the line 


The simple past t

ense 


Is saying I went 


The past progressives tense is 


Saying I was going 


Just a couple examples 


To keep the information flowing 


Future present and the past 


Say it if you know it 


Future present past pastpast 


These your tenses 

Verb tenses 


future present and past 


For example 


The present tense of love 


In 1st person 


is i love 


2nd person 


?is you love 


And third person 


is he loves 


When you add Ed to a word 


Ima show you what it doesn't 


It put it in the past tense 


Which means it already happened 


For instance if you say i practice 


An you add a Ed to the end 


It mean you already practiced 


And If you wanted to out it? in 


present tense 


it would be I’m practicing 


Like? practicing my verb tense 


?And if you? don't understand yet 


Replay it from the beginning 


And keep on? practicing x2 


If you still don't understand 


Keep on practicing
