[Verse 1]
Present Tenses
I walk to school (ฉันเดินไปโรงเรียน), that’s Present Simple,
Every day, it’s nice and nimble.
She walks, he walks, we all do,
A habit that’s forever true!
I’m walking now (ฉันกำลังเดิน)– Present Continuous,
It’s happening – so adventurous!
He is eating, she is singing,
The present moment – always ringing!
I have walked that path before,(ฉันเคยเดินทางนั้น)
Present Perfect, that’s the score!
It has rained, we’ve just met,
Memories that we don’t forget.
I have been walking for an hour,
(ฉันเดินมาเป็นชั่วโมงแล้ว)
Present Perfect Continuous shows time power.
She has been reading since 10 AM,
So much effort – we commend them!
[Chorus]
Tenses tell the time and place,
In English class, we win the race!
Past, present, future too,
Let the tenses sing to you!
[Verse 2]
Past Tenses
I walked to school, that’s Simple Past,
(ฉันเดินไปโรงเรียนเมื่อวาน)
Yesterday’s moment – gone so fast.
He played, she cooked, we all slept,
In memories, they all are kept.
I was walking when it rained,
(ฉันกำลังเดินตอนฝนตก)
Past Continuous – it’s explained.
He was running, we were talking,
Stories of the past keep walking.
I had walked before the bell,
(ฉันเดินก่อนเสียงระฆัง)
Past Perfect, we know so well.
She had eaten when I came,
One action first – that’s the game!
I had been walking for a while,
(ฉันเดินมาสักพักแล้ว)
Past Perfect Continuous in style.
They had been dancing all night long,
Before the lights turned off the song.
[Chorus]
Tenses tell the time and place,
In English class, we win the race!
Past, present, future too,
Let the tenses sing to you!
[Verse 3 ]
Future Tenses
I will walk to school next day,
(ฉันจะเดินไปโรงเรียนพรุ่งนี้)
Simple Future leads the way.
She will call, he will try,
We will go, we reach the sky!
I will be walking at that time,
(ฉันจะกำลังเดินตอนนั้น)
Future Continuous with a rhyme.
He will be cooking, she will be flying,
We’ll be living, laughing, trying!
I will have walked by 8 o’clock,
(ฉันจะเดินเสร็จก่อนแปดโมง)
Future Perfect – beat the clock!
She will have finished all her chores,
Before we even reach the doors.
I will have been walking all the day,
(ฉันจะเดินมาทั้งวัน)
Future Perfect Continuous – hooray!
They will have been working very hard,
By the time we send a card.
[Final Chorus]
12 tenses, now you know,
Use them right and let them show!
English time from A to Z,
Say it with me: 1-2-3!
Simple, Perfect, Continuous too,
Perfect Continuous joins the crew!
Now go use them, don’t be tense,
Sing it loud with confidence!
