Then over the land and sea broad cast
I would scatter the smiles to play,
That the children’s faces might hold them fast
For many many a day.
If I knew a box that was large enough,
To hold the frowns I meet

From nursery, School and Street;
Then folding and holding, I’d pack them in,
And turn the monster key,
And hire a giant to drop the box,
To the depths of the deep, deep sea.

The tense refers to the time of action. The time can be present, past or future tens. The time running now is present, the time spent is past and the time to come is future. So the tenses are basically of three types-
• Present Tense
• Past Tense
• Future Tense

Past Tense
As we can understand from the name, past tense verbs are used to indicate an action, event or condition that has happened in the past. Each tense has four aspects that talks about the completion of the event or action and based on that, we have four types of past tense verbs:
• Simple Past Tense
• Past Continuous Tense
• Past Perfect Tense
• Past Perfect Continuous Tense.

Simple past tense-
A sentence in the simple-past form describes an event that occurred in the past:
“They agreed with us.”
“They did not agree with us.”
“Did they agree with us?”
Past- Continuous Tense-
The past continuous is made from the past tense of the verb be and the – ing form of a verb: We use the past continuous to talk about the past:

Example:
• for something which happened before and after another action:
The children were doing their homework when I got home.

Past-Perfect Tense- The past perfect tense expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something
happened before a specific time in the past. To form the past perfect, we use had (the past tense of the auxiliary verb have) + the past participle of the
main verb.

Examples:
“The film had already ended when I switched on the TV.”
“Unfortunately, he had left his keys in the house when he left.”
“Construction had gone smoothly until the earthquake hit.”

Past- Perfect continuous Tense- We use the past perfect continuous to show that something started in the past and continued up to a time in the past or was important at that time in the past:
Example-
Everything was wet. It had been raining for hours.
He was a wonderful guitarist. He had been playing ever since he was a teenager.

Exercise:

You have to fill each space with either the past continuous, past perfect simple or past perfect continuous.

I. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below.

Tigers are found in India and most of the countries of South East Asia. They live in forests and grassy plains where there are plenty of other animals for them to hunt for food. If you see a tiger in the zoo, you may think its coat is brightly coloured and easily seen, but in the jungles and grasslands where it lives, a tiger is hard to see. The sunlight shining through leaves and branches makes patches of bright light and shadow. A tiger’s golden coloured coat, with its dark stripes, mixes so well into these patches of sunlight and shadows that it is not easily seen. When it walks through the long forest grass, it is also hard to see, for its hair is the same colour as the blades of yellowish grass and patches of deep shadow.

This camouflage, as we call it, is very important because tigers are hunters and catch other animals for their food. If the animals could see a tiger coming, they would quickly escape. It has strong sharp teeth which it uses for seizing and eating the animals, it catches. A tiger’s chief food is deer, wild pigs, monkeys and other small animals, but it will also kill cows. A tiger is also very strong and if it kills a deer or a cow it will often drag the dead animals several yards to the shelter of some bushes where it can eat its meal in peace. Tigers usually hunt and eat at night, and during day time they lie resting hidden in the long grass. Tigers do not like great heat and when it is very hot, they find a resting place by a river or in some wet ground.

Answer the following questions:

a. Besides India, where are tigers also found?

b. Why do tigers live in forests and grass plains?

c. What happens when sunlight comes through leaves and branches in the jungles?

d. Why does the tiger drag the animals it has killed, to the shelter of bushes?

(i) The tiger uses its strong, sharp teeth ______________

(ii) It is hard to see a tiger in the long forest grass because ____________.

And tied his tie around his waist
What a muddle-head was he,
That man who lived in Perushkee!
They told him as he went about, ‘you’ve got your coat on inside out’. And when they saw his hat, they said: ‘You’ve put a sauce pan on your head!. What a muddle-head was he, that man who lived in

Petushkee!
At lunch, he scratched a piece of bread,
And spread some butter on his head,
