Let’s solve this step by step.
First, we need to fill in the chart with the correct past, present, and future forms of each verb.
We already have an example:
to dance → past: danced, present: dancing, future: will dance
Now let’s do the same for the other verbs:
---
1. to laugh
- Past tense: We add “-ed” →
laughed
- Present tense (continuous/progressive form, like “dancing”) →
laughing
- Future tense: Use “will” + base verb →
will laugh
---
2. to walk
- Past tense: Add “-ed” →
walked
- Present tense: Add “-ing” →
walking
- Future tense: “will” + base verb →
will walk
---
3. to cry
- Past tense: This one is a little tricky — when a verb ends in consonant + y, we change y to i and add -ed →
cried
- Present tense: Just add “-ing” →
crying
- Future tense: “will” + base verb →
will cry
---
Now, for the second part: Write a sentence in
future tense for each verb.
Remember: future tense = “will” + verb
So:
1.
to laugh → I will laugh at the funny movie tonight.
2.
to walk → She will walk to school tomorrow.
3.
to cry → He will cry if he loses his toy.
(You can make up your own sentences too — as long as they use “will” + the verb!)

Final Answer:
Chart:
| VERB | PAST | PRESENT | FUTURE |
|----------|---------|-----------|-------------|
| to dance | danced | dancing | will dance |
| to laugh | laughed | laughing | will laugh |
| to walk | walked | walking | will walk |
| to cry | cried | crying | will cry |
Sentences (future tense):
1. I will laugh at the joke later.
2. They will walk to the park after lunch.
3. My sister will cry if she doesn’t get ice cream.
