A tense is the form of a verb that indicates whether the action is being done now, was already done or will be done in the future.

There are three verb tenses:

• Past tense - indicating actions done in the past
• Present tense - indicating actions that are being done now
• Future tense - describing actions that will be done later

Tenses can be divided further into four categories: simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous.

This course will provide explanations and examples of the everyday use of basic English Tenses. Learners will also complete quizzes to practise and self-assess their grammatical knowledge.
