Review: tenses
Review and consolidate the common tenses of verbs.
Learn and master the expression of "choice and decision", and be able to use it flexibly in real life.
Learn how to ask questions politely and explain reasons, and be able to use relevant expressions in real life.
We usually use present tense verb forms to talk about states, events or actions that happen or are happening in the present time.
We usually use past tense verb forms to talk about past time, to describe events, states or actions that have finished.
Tenses refer to different forms of a verb or verb phrase.
We use different tenses to talk or write about different times.
There is no future tense form of verbs in English. We refer to future time in several different ways for different functions, for example, using the present tense or be going to or will.
We can also use past tense forms to refer to present time, for example, for reasons of politeness or indirectness (I was wondering if you wanted a drink) and present tense forms to refer to, for example, for dramatic effect.
The tense of a verb shows the time of an event or action.
Look at the sentences from the reading passage. Decide which tense each is in and match the tenses to what they describe.
a For many of us, it’s something we already have experienced.
b What will we be doing in ten years’ time
c He would later go on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
d …the young Arthur Conan Doyle, born in Scotland in 1859, had originally worked as a doctor.
e …Doyle wrote some of his early Holmes stories while he was waiting for patients in his medical practice in London.
f …but Sherlock Holmes has been entertaining readers for well over a century.
1 An action completed in the past before another past action.

Interview each other about your past experience and future plans.
A. Tell me about your experience.
B. Making a meaningful difference in the lives of my patients and their families motivates me to strive for excellence in everything I do. I look forward to seeing their reaction when we get a positive outcome that will change their lives forever. Like the family of a young boy we treated last year—at eight years old, he had experienced rapid weight gain and signs of depression.
His parents described him as a usually joyful child but now he seemed disengaged and uninterested in his typical schedule. In the end, we determined that it was hypothyroidism, which is, of course, controllable with medication. The boy is adjusting well to the treatment and has returned to his joyful self. That’s why I became a nurse and why I’m pursuing a position in pediatrics.”
