Verb tense is one of the essential and most crucial topics you’ll
encounter in your IELTS Review Online. Mastering the proper use of each
tense means that you understand how each one relates to another, and you
utilize their unique characteristics to express your thoughts and ideas either
in speaking or in writing.
Where the present tense is used in summaries or in explaining
directions or processes, the past tense is used to describe actions done in the
past. Past tense can either be SIMPLE PAST or PAST CONTINUOUS OR PROGRESSIVE.
