English Tenses

The future continuous tense is formed with "will be" followed by the -ing form of the main verb. Forgetting either "will" or "be" results in an incorrect sentence, according to Clapingo. The main verb in the future continuous tense must be in the present participle form (-ing). For example, "I will be eating" is correct, while "I will be eat" is incorrect.

While the Future Continuous tense talks about the action that will happen in future at a given point of time, it is not used for actions that happen suddenly or are not ongoing. Also, the Future Continuous tense is not used for with stative verbs like want, need, etc. For example, I will finish the work on Friday. (sudden completion); I will be wanting to go to the school." (incorrect).

For understanding and practicing the future continuous tense, books like "English Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy and "Practical English Usage" by Michael Swan are highly recommended. "Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics" is also a good book to study Future Continuous Tense.

The basic structure is subject + will be + verb (present participle). It's used to describe an action that will be ongoing at a specific time in the future. Future Continuous Tense is not used for actions that will be finished by a specific future point.

The Future Continuous Tense talks about actions that will go on in the future as well. Also known as the Future Progressive Tense, this verb tense is the future version of the present continuous tense, which uses a similar construction. For example, “I will be watching a movie tonight.”

The 'simple past tense', according to the Cambridge Dictionary, is defined as “the form of a verb used to describe an action that happened before the present time and is no longer happening. It is usually made by adding -ed.” The Collins Dictionary defines the 'simple past tense' as “a tense used to refer to the past.” The Macmillan Dictionary defines the simple past tense as “the tense used to talk about habitual actions, behaviour, or situations that happened or existed before now.”

The simple past tense of the verb “go” is “went”. Irregular verbs like “go” don't follow a specific pattern and do not use suffix like 'ed' to be changed into simple past tense. For example, I went to the market yesterday. Went is the simple past tense word of 'go'. There is no suffix in the verb. 

The simple past tense of the verb “read” is “read” (for ex: “I read a book last week”). While “read” is spelled the same in both its past and present forms, its pronunciation differs depending on the tense. For example, I read the book last night. Here 'read' is used in simple past tense, but the spelling remains the same as they are used in present tense. 

The basic formula of the simple past tense is as follows: Subject + verb in the past tense (verb + 'ed/d' for regular verbs). For regular verbs, the past tense form is usually formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. For irregular verbs, the past tense form is unique and must be learnt by the students. 

The simple past tense, in English, is used to describe an action that took place in the past. In most cases, the simple past tense is formed by adding an 'ed' or a 'd' to the end of the base verb. However, there are other verbs which have different spellings when used in the simple past form. They need to be summarized.
