Word “Tense” is
taken from Latin word “Tempus” which means “time”. To understand tense
properly you should first understand
“verb” what is a verb? verb is an action that we do in our daily lives ,it is
referred verb in Grammar, i.e. what we do in our daily routine of lives it called an action (verb). Such as i take exercise in early morning. In this example word “take” is a verb because
it is denoting an action. Verb is an action word is a proper definition of verb
but it is not complete or compact definition of a verb , look at this example i am student, here in this sentence what you observed? You observed
that the sentence is showing the state
of being, as we know that am is also a verb it is a linking or auxiliary
verb because it is telling us state of
being. So the compact definition of verb is that “ verb is a word that expresses an action and state of being". As we got that tense is a form of verb that tells us time
and state of an
action. Tense i.e. Time is
divided into three parts Present time, Past time & Future time.
