Q1.What are tenses in English?
Ans A tense is a form of the verb
that allows you to express time. The
tense of the verb tells us when an
event or something existed or when
a person did something. Past,
present, and future are the three
main types of tenses
TENSES
Three types of tenses are-
● Past Tense
● Perfect Tense
● Future Tense
Past tense
The past tense is used to describe an activity or an
event that has happened in the past or a past state of
being and needs to include a time marker for when the
event or action took place.
Structural formula:
Subject + verb (2nd form) + object.
Examples:
We met yesterday.
He bought a new laptop last week.
Present tense
The simple present tense or present tense is one of the
most basic tenses in English. We use present tense to
talk about something that is currently going on,
something that is habitually performed, or a state that
generally or currently exists.
Structural formula:
Subject + verb (s/es) + object.
Examples:
She lives in Spain.
Bob drives a taxi.
Future tense
The future tense is a verb tense used to describe an
event or action that has not yet happened and is
expected to happen in the future. Structural formula,
Subject + shall/will+ verb (s/es) + object.
Example:
He will be here soon.
Apart from the three main types of tenses -
present, past, and future - there are different
subtypes of tenses which are mentioned
below.
Q1.What are the subtypes of tenses?
Ans 1.Past continuous tense
2.Past perfect tense
3.Past perfect continuous tense
4.Present continuous tense
5.Present perfect tense
6.Present perfect continuous tense
7.Future continuous tense
8.Future perfect tense
9.Future perfect continuous tense
Past continuous tense
The past continuous tense is used to describe events or
actions that have already occurred in the past. It's
employed to describe any action which has happened
in the past.
Structural formula:
Subject + helping verb (was/were) + verb (ing) +
object.
Examples:
I was watching TV.
We were sleeping.
Past perfect tense
The past perfect tense is used to describe an event that
occurred before a completed action in the past.
Structural formula:
Subject + had + verb (ed) + object.
Examples:
He had gone when she became ill.
She had not lived in New York.
Past perfect continuous tense
The past perfect continuous tense represents any action
or event that started in the past and sometimes
continued into another action or another time.
Structural formula:
Subject + had been + Verb (ing) + object (optional) +
time of action.
Examples:
We had been playing games for 6 hours when Dad
came home.
She had been reading magazines for 1 month before
she decided to apply for the job.
Present continuous tense
The present continuous tense is used to talk about the
ongoing actions, events, or conditions that are still not
finished.
Structural formula:
Subject + helping verb (is / am/ are) + main verb (ing)
+ object.
Examples:
She is playing basketball.
Birds are flying in the sky.
Present perfect tense
The present perfect tense is used to describe a situation
or event that has already occurred but has immediate
ramifications. The present perfect tense can be used to
describe experiences, and situations that occurred in
the past but still have an influence on the present. We
don't use it with time markers.
Structural formula:
Subject + helping verb (have/has) + verb (ed) + object.
Examples:
She has not finished her work yet.
I have seen that movie twice.
Present perfect continuous tense
The present perfect continuous tense shows a situation
that has started in the past and continues in the present.
Structural formula:
Subject + helping verb (have/has) + been + verb (ing)
+ object (optional) + since / for + time duration +
object.
Examples:
I have been learning English for many years.
He has been working here since 2010.
Future continuous tense
The future continuous tense is used to describe an
ongoing action that will occur or occur in the future.
Structural formula:
Subject + shall/will be + verb (ing) + object.
Example:
He will be coming to visit us next week.
She will be watching TV.
Future perfect tense
The future perfect is used to describe an action that
will be completed between now and a certain point in
the future.
Structural formula:
Subject + shall/will + have + verb (3rd form) + object.
Examples:
They will have finished the film before we get home.
She will have cleaned the house by 9pm.
Future perfect continuous tense
We use the future perfect continuous to focus on the
duration of an action before a specific time in the
future.
Structural formula:
Subject + shall/will + have been + verb (ing) + object
(optional) + time instant.
Examples:
He will have been studying hard for 2 weeks before the
exam.
By the time the alarm goes off, we will have been
sleeping for 8 hour
