Explanation:
Verbs come in three tenses: past, present, and future. The past is used to describe things that have already happened (e.g., earlier in the day, yesterday, last week, three years ago). The present tense is used to describe things that are happening right now, or things that are continuous.

In grammar, tense is a category that expresses time reference. Tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verbs, particularly in their conjugation patterns. The main tenses found in many languages include the past, present, and future.
- Past tense: The past tense is the verb form you use to talk about things that happened in the past. When you say, "I joined the circus," the verb "joined" is in the past tense. When people write or speak using the past tense, they're describing something that happened earlier, whether it was yesterday or ten years ago.
- Present tense: Present tense is a grammatical term used for verbs that describe action happening right now. An example of present tense is the verb in the sentence "I eat." The verb tense expressing action in the present time, as in She writes; she is writing. Attributive form of present tense.
- Future tense: The future tense is the verb form you use to talk about things that haven't happened yet. When you say, "The party will be so fun!" "will be" is in the future tense. The future tense can be more complicated than this simple form, but it always signifies an intended or expected future action.
