A Complete the table below. Verbs Present (use he, she or it) Present continuous Past save he saves he is saving he saved try stop grow increase see come B Choose the correct verb form to complete the sentences. 1 It ____ (takes/is taking) him 15 minutes to walk from home to school. 2 He ____ (is stopping/stops) his bike as soon as he ____ (is seeing/sees) the light go red. 3 The number of wolves in the wild ____ (is increasing/increases) in Canada now there are new protection laws.

Basic Answer

A Complete the table below.

VerbsPresent (use he, she or it)Present continuousPast
savehe saveshe is savinghe saved
tryhe trieshe is tryinghe tried
stophe stopshe is stoppinghe stopped
growhe growshe is growinghe grew
increasehe increaseshe is increasinghe increased
seehe seeshe is seeinghe saw
comehe comeshe is cominghe came

Analyze:

  1. Keyword/sentence analysis: The table requires the conjugation of verbs in present simple, present continuous, and past simple tenses using the third-person singular pronoun “he”.
  2. Contextual relationship: Each row represents a single verb, showing its different forms across three tenses.
  3. The answer derivation process: The answers are derived by applying the standard rules of English verb conjugation. For example, the present simple tense for regular verbs adds “-s” or “-es” to the base form for third-person singular (he, she, it). The present continuous tense uses “is/am/are” + verb + “-ing”. The past simple tense for regular verbs adds “-ed” (or “-d” if the verb already ends in “e”). Irregular verbs have their own unique past simple forms.

Point of knowledge

  1. Verb conjugation: Understanding how verbs change their form to indicate tense (present, past, future) and person (first, second, third).
  2. Regular and irregular verbs: Recognizing the difference between regular verbs (which follow predictable patterns of conjugation) and irregular verbs (which have unpredictable forms).

Error-prone tips

  1. Third-person singular -s: Forgetting to add “-s” or “-es” to the present simple form of regular verbs when using “he,” “she,” or “it” (e.g., writing “he try” instead of “he tries”).
  2. Irregular verb forms: Misremembering the past simple forms of irregular verbs (e.g., writing “he comed” instead of “he came”).

B Choose the correct verb form to complete the sentences.

  1. It takes him 15 minutes to walk from home to school.
  2. He stops his bike as soon as he sees the light go red.
  3. The number of wolves in the wild is increasing in Canada now there are new protection laws.

Analyze:

  1. Keyword/sentence analysis: Each sentence requires selecting the appropriate verb tense to accurately reflect the meaning.
  2. Contextual relationship: The sentences describe habitual actions (sentence 1), a sequence of events (sentence 2), and a continuous process (sentence 3).
  3. The answer derivation process: Sentence 1 describes a habitual action, requiring the simple present tense. Sentence 2 describes two simultaneous actions; the second action (seeing the light) triggers the first (stopping the bike), so both use the simple present. Sentence 3 describes an ongoing process, requiring the present continuous tense.

Point of knowledge

  1. Simple present vs. present continuous: Understanding the difference between habitual actions (simple present) and actions happening now (present continuous).
  2. Sequence of events: Using the correct tense to show the order of actions.

Error-prone tips

  1. Overuse of present continuous: Incorrectly using the present continuous for habitual actions.
  2. Incorrect tense sequence: Using inconsistent tenses in sentences describing a sequence of events.
