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.
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
The three indefinite tenses, or
simple tenses, describe an action but do not state
whether the action is finished.
Continuous Tense
The three continuous tenses,
incomplete tenses, or progressive tenses,
describe an unfinished action.
Perfect Tense
The three complete tenses, or
perfect tenses, describe a finished action.
Perfect Continuous Tense
To combine the complete tenses and the
incomplete tenses, to describe an action which was in
progress and then finished.
There are twelve possible verb
tenses.

  • 3. 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.
  • 4. Based on Time Frame The verb tenses may be categorized according to the time frame: • Present Tense • Past Tense • Future Tense
  • 5. 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.
  • 6. 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
  • 7. Indefinite Tense The three indefinite tenses, or simple tenses, describe an action but do not state whether the action is finished. Continuous Tense The three continuous tenses, incomplete tenses, or progressive tenses, describe an unfinished action. Perfect Tense The three complete tenses, or perfect tenses, describe a finished action. Perfect Continuous Tense To combine the complete tenses and the incomplete tenses, to describe an action which was in progress and then finished.
  • 8. There are twelve possible verb tenses. Verb Tenses Present Past Future Present Indefinite Present Continuous Present Perfect Present Perfect Cont. Past Indefinite Past Continuous Past Perfect Past Perfect Cont. Future Indefinite Future Continuous Future Perfect Future Perfect Cont.
