What is tense and what are their Aspects
Tense, in grammar, is a category that expresses time reference. It is primarily a characteristic of the verb in a sentence, and it uses specific forms of the verb to indicate when an action or state occurred.In English, each of the main tenses is often combined with four different aspects to create a total of twelve major verb forms. Aspect provides additional details about the duration of the action, whether it is completed, ongoing, or habitual.
