Tenses

Adverbs are the word that modifies the meaning of a verb, an adjective or another adverb. They tell us about how much, in what manner, how far, in what degree and to what extent. E.g. all, very, probably, very, etc.

• Example: She learns quickly.

Adjectives are the words that add meaning to the nouns or pronouns. They simply make noun and pronoun more descriptive. E.g. beautiful, honest, brave, wealthy.

• Example: She is a quick learner.

The following steps will help to identify the Adjectives:

1. Identify the Words that Describe Noun or Pronouns
2. Pay attention to the Position of the Adjectives
3. Ask questions about noun and pronoun to know the details
4. Pay Attention to Comparative and Superlative Forms
5. Pay Attention to Suffixes

The Adjetives are of following types:

The examples of Adjectives are:

1. Bangalore is a large city.
2. Ram is an honest man.
3. I ate some pudding.
4. You have no time.
5. Have a good day!
6. Most girls like Barbie dolls.
7. Don't be in such a hurry.
8. The CAT is lazy.
9. I don't like that cafe.
10. There are five mangoes in the fridge.

An Adjective is a word that describes a Noun or Pronoun or adds meaning to it. It is that part of speech that describes, quantifies, or modifies a noun or pronoun. It gives more details about the noun by giving information about what kind, which one, how many, etc.

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.
