What Are Tenses?
Tenses are a fundamental aspect of English grammar that indicate the time of an action or
event. We'll discuss why understanding tenses is crucial for effective communication and
how they help convey meaning in sentences.
It is possible to study tenses well only when we are quite familiar with the knowledge of
a model structure, vocabulary and the different parts of a sentence. It is so as tense
functions
a vital role to understand a language in the variety of sentences
.
A basic model sentence is structured as following :-
Subject + Verb + Object
Let us understand these terms in detail –
1. **Subject**: The subject of a sentence is the person, thing, or entity that performs the
action of the verb or is described by the verb. It typically answers the question "who" or
"what" before the verb.
For example:
- "Alice **runs** every morning." (The subject is "Alice" because she is the one performing
the action of running.)
- "The cat **is sleeping**." (The subject is "The cat" because it is the one being described
as sleeping.)
2. **Verb**: A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being in a
sentence. It indicates what the subject is doing or the state it is in. Verbs are often called the
"action words" of a sentence.
For example:
- "The dog **barks** loudly." (The verb is "barks," indicating the action the dog is
performing.)
- "She **is reading** a book." (The verb is "is reading," indicating the action she is currently
engaged in.)
3. **Object**: The object of a sentence is the person, thing, or entity that receives the action
of the verb. It typically answers the question "whom" or "what" after the verb. Not all
sentences have objects, but when they do, they are usually found in sentences with
transitive verbs.
For example:
- "John **ate** an apple." (The object is "an apple" because it is what John ate.)
- "She **loves** her dog." (The object is "her dog" because it is whom she loves.)
Tenses denote the time of action. They show when the work is done. They are:
In English, the present tense typically indicates actions or states that are ongoing at the time
of speaking or writing. It is formed using the base form of the verb
Helping verbs refer to the time of the action in a sentence, hence it can be classified in 3
categories) –
