2. The Tense of a Verb shows the time when an action takes place.

There are three Tenses :

I. Present Tense

II. Past Tense

III. Future Tense

3. In order to show at what stage an action is, each of the three tenses has been sub-divided into four heads. These sub-divisions are—

Tense Indefinite Continuous

or

Progressive Perfect  

Perfect

Continuous

Present I play I am playing I have played I have been playing

Past I played I was playing I had played I had been playing

Future I shall play I shall be playing I shall have played I shall have been playing

Thus, the tense of a verb does not show the time of an action or event alone. It shows the state of that action also.

I. The Present Tense

A. Simple Present Tense

The Simple Present is used to express :

(i) A habitual action

(ii) A general truth

(iii) What is happening (in exclamatory sentences only)

(iv) An order or request.

(i) A habitual action :

I go for a walk daily.

He comes to school at 8 O’clock.

 

(ii) General truth :

The sun rises in the east.
