When we write, our verbs act like time machines! We use different verb tenses to show if events happened in the past, are happening now, or will happen in the future. We also use special helper verbs to show conditions, like things that could happen if something else changes. For example: "If it rains tomorrow, we will play inside, but yesterday we played at the park."
