Past tense of give - Computers & Internet

Hello, Melianie -

I have no idea how your question about English language verb tense landed in the category for Computers and Internet.

The sentence "The night was filled with the noise of artillery fire" uses the past tense for the verb "to fill."

say and says are spoken or oral representations
say is present tense as in now
and says is past tense as in said yesterday
read is visual as in reading a book or paper and is a now tense as I read it now and reads is a past tense operating as he reads the passage very well so the words mean speech in on lot and visual in the others
they can be used in the same sentence as ---I say he reads very well doesn't he or --I said that he read that exactly as it is written
the word read has both past and present tense and it depends on the construction of the sentence as to the determination of that tense

simply put , verbs are action or doing words
when verbs are used differently it is normally when different tense is in use
example past tense ( yesterday) I did , today ( present tense I do , (future) I will do

i watched a video on youtube about this continuous tense.. theres present and past continuous..

for present continuous tense example for "fall"

He (subject) is (to be) "fall"+ ing fast now.

he is falling fast now.....

now, or at the moment etc is important to stress that ur sentence is progressive or is happening...

for past continuous tense example is

"he was falling from the stairs when someone tried to stop him."

this are my examples base on the video i watched...well i watched it so i can post an example sentence haha! but i learned too.. its a win win...

look for it in you tube..
