This document discusses verb tenses in English. It begins by defining verb tenses and how they indicate when an action took place in the past, present, or future. There are four main verb tenses: simple, perfect, continuous, and perfect continuous. Each tense provides additional details about an action's duration, order, or relationship to other time frames. Specific examples are given to illustrate the differences between the simple past and present perfect tenses. The document concludes by defining the three aspects of the perfect tense - past perfect, present perfect, and future perfect - through examples.

in the past and still happens in the present.
The simple past tense indicates that the action occurred only in
the past, and has no relation to the present.
