To rewrite sentences from the Simple Present Tense into the Simple Past and Simple Future tenses, it's important to understand how each tense is formed.
Simple Present Tense: This tense describes actions that happen regularly or facts that are always true.
Simple Past Tense: This tense is used to talk about actions that were completed in the past. Typically, regular verbs in the past tense end with '-ed'. However, irregular verbs can have different forms.
Simple Future Tense: This tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. It is usually formed using 'will' followed by the base form of the verb.
Let's convert the given sentences:

Simple Past: All hopes of Michael came to nothing.
Simple Future: All hopes of Michael will come to nothing.
