Notes-
to form the present tense- you add an -s to the verb when the subject is singular and indicate a third person
i.e- Rama helps his mother - John throws the ball -James writes his vocabulary
for most words you should form the past tense by adding a -d or -ed
i.e - John answered the telephone calls - yesterday we skated
numerous verbs require changes in their spelling to form their past tense
(they are known as irregular verbs and a schedule of such items are given below as a seperate attachment)
to form the future tense you shall simply add the helping verbs will/shall to the main verb
i.e Rama will answer the question -Johnson shall write his vocabulary
The application of the helping words will change according to the form of singular and plural usage of a sentence.
(your attention is invited to the attached notes to this lesson)
