 Verb Tenses
  A verb is a word that is used in a sentence to express an action.

Do not confuse a verb with a verbal. A verbal is formed from a verb but it isn't considered to be the verb of the sentence. Participles, gerunds, and infinitives are considered verbals.

A common error in Sentence Correction on the GMAT occurs when a verb is used in the wrong tense related to the rest of the sentence. The most common tense errors involve using the present, past and future tenses at inappropriate times.

 Present Tense Verbs
  The present tense is used when describing something that is happening now, or at the present time.

Johnny is reading his favorite book about animals.

Sam is playing basketball in the backyard now.

 Past Tense Verbs
  When an event took place in the past and a verb is used in the sentence to describe the event, use the past tense of the verb.

Amy wrote a lot of poetry when she was in high school.

John did exercise frequently before his new job started.

 Future Tense Verbs
  When something is expected to happen in the future, the future tense of a verb is used.

Next year will be the greatest year of my life.
