Top Tense Flashcards

Did you know that it is utterly impossible to completely describe the English system of tenses in less than 100 pages? That is because English, like most human languages, is extremely complex and almost infinitely flexible. And, as you may probably know, nearly every rule about language has at least ten sets of exceptions.

So, why should you bother with questions like “How man tenses are there in total, and what different situations do they describe?”, “What is the actual meaning of the word tense?”, “How do tenses behave in other languages of the world?”

]“What does the grammaticalisation of tenses actually presumes?” Because we don’t want you to feel tense about tenses, we suggest you take the tense quizzes and un-tense.
