THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF TENSE

• PAST TENSE
• PRESENT TENSE
• FUTURE TENSE

$\large \rm \red { PAST \: TENSE }$

The past tense refers to event that have happened in the past. The basic way to form the past tense in English is to take the present tense of the word and add the suffix -ed. For example, to turn the verb "walk" into the past tense, add -ed to form "walked." .

$\large \rm \pink { PRESENT \: \: TENSE}$

The present tense is a verb tense used to describe a current activity or state of being. However, somewhat unusually, the present tense can also be used to describe past and future activities. For example: I swim in the sea every Saturday.

$\large \rm \green { FUTURE \: \: TENSE }$

The simple future is a verb tense that's used to talk about things that haven't happened yet. This year, Jen will read War and Peace. It will be hard, but she's determined to do it. Use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future.
