What are tenses examples?

• There are three major tenses in English. These
  include past, present, and future. Each of these
  tenses can explain an event that occurred in the
  past, an event that occurs in the present, or an
  event that will occur in the future. Example of
  Past, Present, and Future Tenses I danced.

How many tenses are there in English?

• There are three English tenses past, present,
  and future. But, the three can be categorized
  based on their function. I lump the future in
  with the simple present and present progressive,
  so I get 12 categories.

5
Do verb tenses?

• The main verb (live in the example above) is in
  its base form (of the infinitive). The auxiliary
  DID shows that the question is in the past tense.
  NOTICE The only difference between a question in
  the present tense and a question in the past
  tense is the change in the auxiliary verb.

6
Are tenses part of grammar?

• In grammar, tense is a category that expresses
  time reference with reference to the moment of
  speaking. Tenses are usually manifested by the
  use of specific forms of verbs, particularly in
  their conjugation patterns. Basic tenses found in
  many languages include the past, present, and
  future.
