What is Tenses of Verb?
Verb tenses are changes or additions to verbs to show
when the action took place: in the past, present, or
future. The phrase verb tense is also used for
grammatical aspects, which add more details about the
duration or time an action takes. When you combine the
four grammatical aspects with the past, present and
future, you end up with twelve main verb tenses in
English.
