It's Sleepytime, Nighty Night, Sis.

Title: It's Sleepytime, Nighty Night, Sis
Genre: Short Story
Author(s): Sally Jennings
Publisher: Speak-Read-Write.com
Size: 2.64 Mb
Language: English

"It's Sleepytime, Nighty Night, Sis", a short story with verb tense list. Verb forms of “to sleep” in the story above are all in the Active Voice (it is not possible to use "to sleep" as a passive verb). Note that there are various ways of naming the verb tenses (the future is an aspect, not a tense). The important part is to memorize the form of the verb phrase, and use it correctly. I have shown all the possible verb forms for each construction. If only one form is shown, only one form is correct. Note that the verb "sleep" does also have another form "asleep" which may be combined with the verb "to be," as in "he is asleep," and so on. I have not dealt with that here.
