Let’s understand it
These five labels help us talk about verb forms. They are learning labels, not five separate tenses.
The building rule
V1 base • V2 past • V3 past participle • V4 -ing/present participle • V5 third-person singular simple present
See it in a sentence
play / played / played / playing / plays
go / went / gone / going / goes
write / wrote / written / writing / writes
A little way to remember
Link each form to a sentence, not just a list.

| V1 | V2 | V3 | V4 | V5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| go | went | gone | going | goes |
| write | wrote | written | writing | writes |
| play | played | played | playing | plays |
