    What is a verb?
    A verb is a part of speech that expresses an action, occurrence,
    or state of being. It is a word that describes what someone or something is
    doing, or the way in which something exists. Examples of verbs include
    "play," "learn," "celebrate," "are," and "seems."

    VERB TENSES

    Verb tense refers to when the action in the sentence takes place, whether it
    happened in the past, is currently happening in the present, or will happen in
    the future.

    Verbs use past, present, and future tense. This means that the verb may
    change forms, such as adding an ending and changing spellings. The verb
    tenses may reflect something that has already happened, something that is
    currently happening, or something that will happen in the future.
    1. Past Tense:
    ⚫ Simple Past: Formed by adding "-ed" to regular verbs or using
    the past forms of irregular verbs. Example: He walked to the store
    yesterday.
    ⚫ Past Continuous (Progressive): Formed with the past tense of
    "to be" (was/were) + the present participle (-ing form) of the main
    verb.
    Example: I was reading a book when the phone rang.
    ⚫ Past Perfect: Formed with the past tense of "to have" (had) + the
    past participle of the main verb.
    Example: She had already eaten when I arrived.
    ⚫ Past Perfect Continuous (Progressive): Formed with the past
    perfect of "to have" (had) + been + the present participle of the
    main verb.
    Example: They had been waiting for hours before the concert
    started.

    2. Present Tense:
    ⚫ Simple Present: For regular verbs, use the base form. For third
    person singular, add "-s."
    Example: She works in a hospital.
    ⚫ Present Continuous (Progressive): Formed with the present
    tense of "to be" (am/are/is) + the present participle (-ing form) of
    the main verb.
    Example: They are playing soccer right now.
    ⚫ Present Perfect: Formed with the present tense of "to have"
    (have/has) + the past participle of the main verb.
    Example: I have visited that city before.
    ⚫ Present Perfect Continuous (Progressive): Formed with the
    present perfect of "to have" (have/has) + been + the present
    participle of the main verb.
    Example: She has been working on her project all day.
    3. Future Tense:
    ⚫ Simple Future: Formed with the modal verb "will" + the base form
    of the main verb.
    Example: They will arrive tomorrow.
    ⚫ Future Continuous (Progressive): Formed with the future tense
    of "to be" (will be) + the present participle (-ing form) of the main
    verb.
    Example: This time next week, we will be vacationing in Hawaii.
    ⚫ Future Perfect: Formed with the future tense of "to have" (will
    have) + the past participle of the main verb.
    Example: By the time you get there, we will have finished dinner.
    ⚫ Future Perfect Continuous (Progressive): Formed with the
    future perfect of "to have" (will have) + been + the present
    participle of the main verb.
    Example: They will have been waiting for two hours when the train
    finally arrives.
