1) Word to Sentence ~ read/read/will or going to read

 

Use three basic forms of words to write three sentences: present, past, and future.

 

1) present ~ used for habits and routines

    2)past ~ used for events beginning and ending in the past

       3) future ~ used for events that have not yet happened

 

Note: In casual speech and writing, will and going to are often interchanged. In formal writing,

they are different. Will is used when referring to the future with certainty. Going to is used to refer to planned events.

 

Example 1) I read my e-mails in the morning.

 

Example 2) I read 'To Kill a Mockingbird' in high school.

 

Example 3) I will read about Myanmar before I travel there.
