Let’s go through each sentence one by one.
We need to:
1. Underline the verb in each sentence.
2. Say if it’s present tense or past tense.
3. Rewrite the whole sentence in future tense.
---
Sentence 1: David runs home after school.
- Verb: “runs” → this is what David does now (or regularly), so it’s
present tense.
- Future tense version: We change “runs” to “will run”.
→ *David will run home after school.*
---
Sentence 2: The team left the bus.
- Verb: “left” → this already happened, so it’s
past tense.
- Future tense version: Change “left” to “will leave”.
→ *The team will leave the bus.*
---
Sentence 3: The sun rises the morning.
Wait — this sentence has a small mistake. It should probably be “The sun rises
in the morning.” But we’ll work with what’s given.
- Verb: “rises” → happens every day, so
present tense.
- Future tense version: Change “rises” to “will rise”.
→ *The sun will rise the morning.*
*(Note: This sounds odd because of the missing “in”, but we’re just changing the verb tense as instructed.)*
---
Sentence 4: There are seven days in the week.
- Verb: “are” → this is always true, so
present tense.
- Future tense version: Change “are” to “will be”.
→ *There will be seven days in the week.*
---
Sentence 5: After school, Karla walked home.
- Verb: “walked” → already happened, so
past tense.
- Future tense version: Change “walked” to “will walk”.
→ *After school, Karla will walk home.*
---
Final Answer:
1. runs - Present Tense - David will run home after school.
2. left - Past Tense - The team will leave the bus.
3. rises - Present Tense - The sun will rise the morning.
4. are - Present Tense - There will be seven days in the week.
5. walked - Past Tense - After school, Karla will walk home.
