How do you talk about playing the same game at different times? Start with the game, not three separate rules. If you play regularly, say, "I play a game." The present here describes a habit, not necessarily what's happening right now. Yesterday: "I played a game." For this regular verb, -ed marks a past event. Tomorrow: "I will play a game." Will play is one simple way to talk about a future plan. Hear how time words-regularly, yesterday, tomorrow-work with the verb: play, played, will play. The game stays the same; its place in time changes. These are not three unrelated activities. It's the same game at different times, with the verb helping show when. English has other ways to talk about future plans, and not every past verb ends in -ed. Use the time and change the form: I play regularly, I played yesterday, and I will play tomorrow.
