Sample Sentences

中文不是“时态“语言，中文的动词本身不改变，只用助词来表示动作“还没发生”、“正在发生”或是“已经结束”。
Zhōngwén bùshì “shítài “yǔyán ，Zhōngwén de dòngcí běnshēn bù gǎibiàn ，zhī yòng zhù cí lái biǎoshì dòngzuò “hái méi fāshēng ”、“zhèngzài fāshēng ”huòshì “yǐjīng jiéshù ”。
Chinese is not a tense based language, the verbs in Chinese do not change. Instead, we have particles that help indicate whether an action has occurred, is occurring or has completed.

It wasn't limited to adding an "s", you made a lot of tense errors. Look at this. It's clearly written "at this time yesterday". You should use the past progressive tense. How could you write "I am studying"?
