I.Summary

The word tense comes from the Latin word, tempus, which means "time."
The tense of a verb shows the time when an action or condition occurred. In English the
tense also may provide emphasis and may determine whether or not an action or
condition was continuous or repetitive.There are fourteen tenses in modern
English.There are three basic tenses: past, present, and future. They show whether a
simple action or condition occurred, occurs, or will occur in the past, present, or
future.There are three perfect tenses: past perfect, present perfect, and future
perfect. They show whether an action or condition had occurred relative to the
past, has occurred relative to the present, or will have occurred relative to the
future.There are six progressive tenses: past progressive, present progressive,
future progressive, past perfect progressive, present perfect
progressive, and future perfect progressive. They show a continuous action or
condition that was occurring in the past, is occurring in the present, will be occurring in
the future, had been occurring relative to the past, has been occurring relative to the
present, or will have been occurring relative to the future.There are two emphatic
tenses: past emphatic and present emphatic. They provide emphasis especially in
questions and negatives for actions or conditions that did occur in the past or that do
occur in the present.
