    This document provides information on talking about the past and present tenses in English. It discusses using "to be + verb-ing" to talk about ongoing actions, and how the main verb changes between the present ("verb+s" for third person singular) and past ("verb+ed" or irregular forms). It also covers how to form complete sentences with subjects and verbs, and how to structure questions using auxiliary verbs like "do/does" or forms of "to be". Examples are given for both types of questions in both the present and past tenses. The document concludes by noting the importance of listening to questions to understand what information is being asked for.
