A. Understanding Tenses
What is a tense? It is a grammatical category that helps locate a situation in time. The tenses can be present, past or future.
meaning in Indonesian The meaning of tenses is a description or
explanation of when an event or action. Events or actions occur in a
sentence: it is now - the past - or future. Or change the verb forms
according to the time of occurrence of an event and change the time
information.
Verb tenses are a core part of the English language. Verb or verb tenses
in the formulas. Disni, my work or short Verb V only. So if V + ing the
same meaning as Verb + ing, I also I have written as "Ving" just so
easy.
Verbs in English there are many forms: V1, V2, V3, Ving.
Verb forms 1 or short my V1, which is the basic verbs, such as: drink,
go, write, read, Participate, learn, study, and so forth. There is a
verb form of the second, I was often short V2. The verb form 3 O V3.
Verbs and ING form or short my Ving. How to use other forms of the verb?
There are lessons in each of the English tenses.
Verbs change form
Verbs change form form 1 (V1) to form the second (V2) and form into 3
(V2) there is uniform (no formula) and some are not uniform (no
formula). Irregular Verbs (Regular Verb):
That means it has a regularity of form, there is such formula plus "D" or "ED" as: live - lived - lived, play, played, played.
Although there are rules but the rules are still a few changes. List of irregular verbs.
NOT Irregular Verbs (Irregular Verb):
For example, the verb "drink" in a row to form the 1 to 3: Drank-drink-drunk. One another such example: break-broke-broken
Things can Happen now, in the future or in the past. The tenses show the
time of an action or state of being as shown by a verb. The verb ending
is changed (conjugated) to show what time it is referring to. Time can
be split into three periods The Present (what you are doing), The Past
(what you did) and The Future (what you are going to do, or hope / plan
to do.
The tenses we use to show what time we are talking about are split into the Simple, Continuous and Perfect tenses.
