How would you define the term \u2018Tense\u2019?<br \/>\nThe term \u2018Tense\u2019 denotes the form of a verb which shows the time at which an action happened. So, the tense shows two things : (i) the time of the action<br \/>\n(iii) state expressed by the verb.<br \/>\nLook at these sentences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reshma goes to school.<\/li>\n<li>Reshma went to school.<\/li>\n<li>Reshma will go to school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the above sentences (i) \u2018goes\u2019 (ii) \u2018went\u2019 and (iii) \u2018will go\u2019 are verbs.<br \/>\nIn sentence (i), the verb \u2018goes\u2019 denotes the present tense and refers to the present time.<br \/>\nIn sentence (ii), the verb \u2018went\u2019 denotes the past tense and refers to the past time.<br \/>\nIn sentence (iii), the verb \u2018will go\u2019 denotes the future tense and refers to the future time.<br \/>\nBy \u2018Tense\u2019 we can understand the correspondence between the form of the verb and our concept of time (past, present and future).<br \/>\nII. \u2018Time\u2019 and \u2018Tense\u2019 are not the same thing. \u2018Time\u2019 is a universal concept. It has three divisions: past, present and future. \u2018Tense\u2019 is related only to the verb.<br \/>\nIt is not necessary that if the verb is in the present tense, it will show only the present time. It is also not necessary that if the verb is in the past tense, it will show the past time.<br \/>\nLook at the sentences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The match takes place on Sunday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here the verb \u2018takes place&#8217; is in simple present tense but expresses an action that will take place in the future time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mohan is about to come.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here \u2018present tense\u2019 expresses the near future time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Sun sets in the west.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is a universal truth. Here, it stands for all the three times: past, present and future.<br \/>\nNote: Modem grammarians believe that there is no future tense in English to express future time. We use the modal auxiliaries \u2018shall\u2019 and \u2018will\u2019, with the present tense, etc. to express future time. But we are following the traditional grammarians in this book. According to them English has three tenses, (i) Present Tense (ii) Past Tense and (iii) Future Tense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tense Class 10 CBSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More Resources for CBSE Class 10<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/ncert-solutions-2\/\">NCERT Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/ncert-solutions-class-10-science\/\">NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/ncert-class-10-math-solutions\/\">NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/cbse-class-10-social-science-sst-questions-and-answers\/\">NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Social<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/ncert-solutions-for-class-10-english-literature\/\">NCERT Solutions for Class 10 English<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/ncert-solutions-class-10-hindi\/\">NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Hindi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/ncert-solutions-class-10th-sanskrit\/\">NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Sanskrit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/ncert-solutions-class-10-foundation-information-technology\/\">NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Foundation of IT<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbselabs.com\/rd-sharma-class-10-solutions\/\">RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1.

We are not thinking only about now. We use it to say that something happens all the time or repeatedly or that something is true in general. Here it is not important whether the action is happening at the time of speaking<br \/>\nExamples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I take my breakfast every day.<\/li>\n<li>We go to school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We use Present Continuous tense to talk about something that is happening at or around the time of speaking. The action is not finished. In such sentences is\/am\/are + verb + ing is used to show continuation.<br \/>\nExamples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Girls are playing.<\/li>\n<li>I am watching TV.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Present Perfect tense is used to give information about an action that has recently been completed. It is also used to talk about some action in the past that has a result now.

In these sentences have\/ has + been + v + ing form is used.<br \/>\nExamples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>John looks sunburnt. He has been working under the sun since morning.<\/li>\n<li>Your clothes are very dirty.

We use it to talk about an action which finished before another action in the past.<\/p>\n<p>We use certain time expressions with past perfect: before, already, after, just, when, never, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Now read the following sentences:<br \/>\nI had been watching TV for an hour when I remembered I had forgotten to call my friend.<br \/>\nShe had been painting her room and her clothes were covered in paint.<br \/>\nThese sentences have been written in Past Perfect Continuous Tense. We use it to talk:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>for a past action which started and finished in the past before another past action, putting emphasis on the duration.<\/li>\n<li>for an action which lasted for some time in the past and the result was still visible in the past..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Time expressions used: for, since, until, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tenses For Class 10 CBSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>11.
