Tense

• The verbs which define the period of action are called tenses.

• Tenses are of three types- present, past, and future.

• Each type has been further classified into simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous tenses.

• The form of each tense is different and unique, which helps us in identifying it easily.
