      You are annoying me.

      Lara is painting a picture.

      Past tense

      If the action has already happened, you use the past tense. There are four types of past tense you can use:

      Simple past tense: For most verbs, you add ‑ed to the end to make the simple past tense. You add ‑d if the verb already ends in e:

      The children screamed when the lights went out.

      The dog barked at the postman.

      I scrambled over the wall.

      Progressive past tense: This is also known as the continuous past tense. You add ‑ing to the verb and put it after was or were. You use this to talk about something that was still happening at a certain point in the past or when something else happened:

      That was the summer when Jack and I were learning to ride.

      Richard was cooking dinner when the fire alarm went off.

      Present perfect tense: For this you use has or have with the simple past tense of the verb. You use the present perfect tense to show that an action has been completed:

      Abby has finished her project on Japan.

      I have baked a cake for the birthday party.

      Past perfect tense: For this you use had with the simple past tense of the verb. You use this to show that something had been completed when something else happened:

      Matthew had finished his lunch before the others had even started.

      I had packed my suitcase when the taxi arrived.

      Future tense

      If the action has still to happen, you use the future tense. You do this by using will or shall and then the verb:

      I will be there on time.

      He says he will phone later today.

      We shall see if that’s true.

      Auxiliary verbs

      There are three auxiliary verbs: be, have and do. These are used with other verbs to make different tenses.

      Modal verbs

      The modal verbs are can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would and ought. They are used with other verbs to add certain meanings like possibility, doubt or having to do something. Unlike all other verbs, they do not change their spellings:

      I can ride a bike.

      Olivia can speak Italian.

      My friends can all come to my party.

      I could be late so don’t wait for me.
