Tenses in English

Tenses in English play a crucial role in expressing time and action within communication. They are divided into three main categories: past, present, and future, with each of these categories further subdivided into aspects such as simple, perfect, continuous (also known as progressive), and perfect continuous. This structure allows for a precise and nuanced expression of time in language.

  3. They (played/are playing/will play) baseball every Saturday.
  4. We (go/went/are going) to the museum last Sunday.
  5. The sun (rises/rose/is rising) in the east.

  2. They buy a new house.
  3. He meets his friends at the café.
