Simple Present, Past and Future Tenses
The simple present tense means the time which is daily. For example : I brush my teeth twice, everyday. Simple past tense is the time what has been ago, maybe that's a year ago or a second ago. For example : I brushed my teeth only once, yesterday. Simple future tense is the time which is going to be. For example : I will brush myteeth twice, tomorrow. In simple present tense keep noun-verb agreement in mind and then answer. For plural the verb will be without a 's' and vice versa. But 'I' and 'you' are special pronouns that take a verb with 's'.
