Tense

• Tense refers to the period during which an action is taking place. It can be divided into three periods- present, past, and future.

• The given sentence indicates the moment when the train is leaving. Thus, it takes the present continuous tense.

• 'Left' is not taken as the train has still not left. It will be leaving shortly.

• 'Leaves' and 'leave' are simple present tense. It indicates the daily departure of the train. Thus, it is not used.
