TENSES
EXPLANATION

A tense refers to a form of verb that indicates the time or a state of

an action and event. Tenses show events such as at present, in the
past or in the future. They are shown by using different forms of
verbs.

A tense is marked by its use, pattern, and time markers.

 SIMPLE FACTS The company produces shoes
(GENERAL We work there
PRESENT TRUTH) I live near the office

TENSE
LIKES/
ROUTINES DISLIKES

I usually go to work at 7.30 He enjoys sports a lot

We have a meeting every Monday I don’t like horror movies
She goes to bed at around 11 every night They hate overtime work
Tenses differences can be analyzed from their use and time markers as
well. Some of them are explained as follows :

1. The Present Simple describes routines, schedule, and facts. The time markers for this tense
are every day, once a week, always, usually, often, regularly, etc.
2. The Past Simple helps when we need to tell about events happened in the past.
Whilst time signals for this tense, among others, are yesterday, last month, a year ago, just now,
in 2018, and so forth.
3. We use The Present Progressive for a temporary routine or situation. We can also use this
tense for a fixed plan happening soon. The time markers for this tense are now, right now,
at the moment, at present.
4. The present Perfect tense is needed to talk about repeated actions, past events that have
present consequences, already finished or haven’t yet finished activities. Just like other
tenses, this tense can be used with the time markers like already, yet, since, for, twice,
recently, so far, lately, etc.
5. The Simple Future Tense is necessary when we talk about events thought to occur in the
future. This tense is highlighted by Time Markers like tomorrow, next week, tonight, etc.
