1.
What the “magic table” usually means
When people talk about the magic table of right form of verbs, they
usually mean a chart that helps you quickly choose the correct form of a
verb based on tense, subject, and situation.
It’s “magic” because once you memorize and understand the pattern,
you can apply it to almost any sentence without guessing.
2. The table’s core structure
A proper “right form of verbs” table usually has:
Example with
Tense / Aspect Structure Bangla Meaning
“go”
Present Simple V₁ / V₁+s I go / He goes আমি যাই / সে যায়
Past Simple V₂ I went আমি গিয়েছিলাম
Future Simple will + V₁ I will go আমি যাব
Present am/is/are + I am going / He is আমি যাচ্ছি / সে
Continuous V₁+ing going যাচ্ছে
was/were +
Past Continuous I was going আমি যাচ্ছিলাম
V₁+ing
I have gone / He আমি গিয়েছি / সে
Present Perfect have/has + V₃
has gone গিয়েছে
Past Perfect had + V₃ I had gone আমি গিয়েছিলাম
Future Perfect will have + V₃ I will have gone আমি চলে গিয়েছি থাকব
3. The “magic” in choosing the right form
Identify the time → Past, Present, or Future?
See if the action is completed or still continuing → Simple,
Continuous, Perfect?
Choose the correct helping verb (is/was/will have, etc.)
Pick the right verb form:
o V₁ = base form (go, eat, write)
o V₂ = past form (went, ate, wrote)
o V₃ = past participle (gone, eaten, written)
o V+ing = present participle (going, eating, writing)
4. Why this is “magic” for exams

a sentence like:

Time → Present
Habit → Present Simple
Subject “He” → add “-s”
✅ Answer: goes
