Grammar
Short story
Hi,
I want to learn English grammar through below method:
* First: listened to a short story in the present tense. Listened to it everyday.
* Then, listened to the exact SAME story-- but this time it started with "10 years ago...." learned to "feel" the past tense by listening to this story.
* Next, given the exact same story. This time, it started with "Since 2004..." learned to FEEL the perfect tenses by listening to this story.
* Finally, given the exact same story... beginning with "Next year". Learned to FEEL the future tense simply by listening to this story.
But the problem is i cannot get a same short story for past, present and future.
Now can anyone help me in writing these stories, so that I can record it and listen to it and feel the different forms.. If you can, plz write in as many forms as you can do without much stress..
Thank you

I have a better idea: I'll give you a short story, and then you write it in different tenses, and we'll check your efforts. Here's one in past tense; please change it to present: The Ant and the Grasshopper In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
