Verb tenses tell us how an action relates to the flow of time. There are three main verb tenses in English: present, past, and future.
Past Tense– Include verbs that indicate that the event has occurred in the past.
Present Tense - Include verbs that indicate an ongoing event or an event that is currently occurring in the present.
Future Tense - Include verbs that indicate an event that is likely to occur in the future.
