NARRATOR:
Free biscuits? Oh, who will fall for that?
When we talk about things that haven’t happened yet, we call it the future tense.
We often use the word will in front of a verb.
Looks like he will be sticky.
Seriously? You really do fall for everything.
When something is happening now, we use the present tense.
Now he is sticky.
Sentences that describe something that’s already happened and use words like was are in the past tense.
He was sticky.
Every verb has a past, present and future tense form - licked, licking and will lick.
Uh, hey, no. Don’t you even think about…
Oh, yuck.
