🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To identify and use past, present, and future tenses

📚 What Are Verb Tenses?

Verb tenses tell us when something happens:

🕐 Past tense: Already happened (yesterday, last week) - words often end in -ed

🕒 Present tense: Happening now (today, right now)

🕕 Future tense: Will happen later (tomorrow, next week) - often uses will

✅ Success Criteria:

• I can identify past, present, and future tenses

• I can choose the correct tense for different situations

• I can use time words to help me decide the tense
