Explanation:

• The tense of a verb in grammar determines when it acts or what state it is in, such as present (something that is happening right now), past (something that happened in the past), or future (something going to happen). These are known as the time frame of the verb. For instance, consider I shall continue to walk as I do in the present and the past (future).

• A verb can also have an aspect, which provides additional information about the verb's state of activity. They can be simple, perfect, progressing, or perfect simple. The fundamental present, past, and future tense verb forms cover simple sentences. A simple aspect verb may or may not indicate if an activity is finished. You employ continuous/progressive tenses for continuing or incomplete actions. You use the perfect or perfect progressive tenses if the action was completed:

1. I moved (simple past)

2. I'm strolling (present continuous, action is ongoing)
