What is tense?
- Tense is a category in grammar that expresses time reference. The usage of specific forms of verbs, particularly in their conjugation patterns, is usually how tenses are expressed.
- Tenses are classified into three groups based on when they occur:
- Present Tense
- Past Tense
- Future Tense
Therefore, the verbs are put into the blank spaces in the dialogues according to the time and situation using suitable tense formats.
