I have compiled the some frequently asked concepts of tenses and tried to make this easy for you in this post. VERB TENSE: It’s all about time. Things can happen now, in the future or in the past. Tenses tells you when the action happens(time of an event or action). The verb ending is changed (conjugated) to show what time it is referring to. TYPES OF TENSES: 1.Present:What you are currently doing.
2.Past: What you did some time back. 3.Future: What you will do later. PRESENT TENSES 1.SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE: Here,the action is simply mentioned and there is nothing being said about its completeness. Key words: always, usually, often, sometimes, seldom, rarely, never, every day, on Sundays, etc.
Example:I eat. He studies grammar every day. 2.PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE:Here,the action is on-going/ still going on and hence continuous. Key words: now, right now, this quarter, etc.
