Tense is a crucial aspect of English grammar. Understanding it thoroughly allows for accurate comprehension of English dialogues and pieces of writing. In simplified terms, English tenses are divided into four categories: simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous. Each category can further be broken down into three time frames: present, past, and future, totaling to 12 tense variations. In this lesson, we will focus on the first category, the 'simple tense', which includes the present simple tense, past simple tense, and future simple tense. We will also cover the concept of "future in the past tense," a frequently used concept in everyday English conversation that many students struggle with.
