What is tenses in english grammar




















What is Tense? Note that many grammarians take the view that there are only two tenses in English: present tense and past tense. That is because we make those two tenses with the verb alone - he walks, he walked. They do not consider that he will walk , he is walking or he has walked for example are tenses because they are not formed solely from the verb "walk". For English learners, most EFL teachers and books treat all these constructions as tenses.

On these pages we do the same. Nobody has the right to obey. Future Perfect Continuous. Real-time suggestions, wherever you write.
