You have to be careful with the verb form “to be”.

That conjugation is: am, is, are, was, were, have been, has been, had been

simple is when u only use the verb without an auxiliary (or helping verb).. auxiliaries are: am/is/are- was/were- has/have- will

simple present: i eat, he eats (s for the 3rd person singular)

simple past: i ate (irregular verb), i played (ed because it’s a regular verb)

PROGRESSIVE: its when u add -ing to the verb while adding also an auxiliary.

for example: present progressive: i am eating

past progressive: i was eating

future progressive: i will be eating

Verbs in different conjugations:

I am…

You are…

They are…

I was…

You were…

They were…

I will be…

You will be…

They will be…

I am a person who votes during elections… (this is progressive, too {I think} like the verbs “will be”…)

You are a person who doesn’t vote during elections…

They are people who always vote during elections..

In the progressive verbs, what mattered was that the verbs in each phrase matched the tense (or timeliness) of the verb before it. (“are” and “vote” in this sample)

Again:

I am a person who votes during elections…

You are a person who doesn’t vote during elections…

They are people who always vote during elections…

These are all present tense verbs.

I’m trying to make it simple and can only hope I gave you a clue as to how to do your homework correctly. Look carefully at all your choices and reading, and you’ll know.

Good luck!
