INTRODUCTION
The word Tense is derived
from latin word “tempus”
which means time. A verb
indicates the time of an
action, event or condition by
changing its form.
Based on Time frame
The verb tenses may be
categorized according to the
time frame:
•Present Tense
•Past Tense
•Future Tense
Present Tense :---
Present tense expresses an
unchanging, repeated, or reoccurring
action or situation that exists only now. It
can also represent a widespread truth.
Past Tense :---
Past tense expresses an action or
situation that was started and finished in
the past.
Future Tense :---
Future tense expresses an action
or situation that will occur in the future.
CONTENTS
Based on Aspect
Verb tenses may also be
categorized according to aspect.
Aspect refers to the nature of
the action described by the verb.
There are four aspects:
•Indefinite or Simple
•Continuous or Progressive
•Perfect or Complete
•Perfect Continuous
Indefinite Tense

simple tenses, describe an action but do
not state whether the action is finished.
Continuous Tense

incomplete tenses, or progressive
tenses, describe an unfinished action.
Perfect Tense

perfect tenses, describe a finished action.
